Try Firefox 24 in a VM It's insecure, slow, but it's the last good version of Firefox. Anything after 24, has Australis, which is the beginning of the end of Mozilla IMHO.

Do we really need an update to a web browser every 6 weeks? A web browser should display information FULL STOP. When the new HTML standard comes out, implement it. Until then just provide security fixes. It's really not that hard or ex

The documentary ("Wiener" IIRC) about his run for mayor is pretty good. Like a train crash in slow motion - good.

Just plugging Tox. https://tox.chat/ Decentralized, DHT-like, no phone numbers. I've researched all others and Tox is the best choice ATM if you want YOUR data to belong to YOU.

Hmmm. I thought they were both instant messengers, just AIM was more popular in US and ICQ was more popular in Israel and Eastern Europe. One distinct feature AIM had were the IRC-like chat rooms. --- You may be confused WRT an ICQ "of

You won this thread. It's not really "computer ethics" but rather, just "ethics".

Well, like TFA says hopefully we won't have any new videos of above-ground nuke "tests".

Putin's approval rating is in the 80s. That should be enough to tell you what they think of you without looking at polls. (IIRC they were trying to shut down the one independent poll firm recently)

Yes. Also IMHO... Critical thinking (it's a real philosophical discipline with textbooks and etc.) should be taught in every school. Recognizing fallacies and bad claims is frankly much more useful to me everyday than almost everything

BLM? Black Lives Matter or that Bureau of Land Management standoff? I wouldn't categorize BLM (Black Lives) as NOT peaceful (or at least in the same category as Vietnam protests). If you mean riots, IMHO it's a separate issue.

Interesting intersection of traditions. Usually Russians watch Ironiya Sudby on December 31, since Christmas is not celebrated. --- Another one that everybody watches is Briliantovaya Ruka.

OT. Thanks for being pro-freedom (pro-privacy), but you are selling a privacy-respecting system and your name is "Adtac"? For privacy-conscious out there, anything with "ad" in its name screams "acceptable ads"
