Devices and browsers will become locked down & attested blackboxes, manufactured by a handful of attested companies. Those companies will have trouble finding employees because less and less people will be interested in low-level stuff

I am using various browser extensions which make browsing a better experience for me like Dark Reader to make all webs dark. Sometimes I write userscripts for TamperMonkey to add missing functionality or get rid of some annoyance. That all

Yes, self-hosted Mastodon are the best way to share official short messages like that. Proprietary consumer services like Twitter should be avoided because it is hard to even register an account there (my attempt was banned instantly) and t

Perverts will distribute this content on those or other platforms pre-encrypted and we all will be left with mass surveillance and state control. Cool. It is sad that so many people still don't understand that this surveillance won&#x2

Because attackers can now know your super-private first name and you are losing your privacy. But no one cares about the requirement to have an apple account with bank info to use the device normally or about the requirement to have iMessag

Then why don't you sell them on eBay? There are many people buying older, broken stuff but if you put it for 10 years to a drawer, it will become too old to be useful even for them...

A smilar law should be implemented at EU level. Our DSL provider in Czechia makes it very difficult to cancel a service. You can easily sign up online. But they say you have to call somewhere no earlier than two months and no later than one

What is it there to love? What is this garbage supposed to mean? I like descriptive commit messages instead. Smileys or emojis are childish.

I am using LogSeq happily on Android and desktop, syncing with Syncthing. It works well enough.

Same here. Banned instantly for no reason. The problem is that some official entities like Fire departments are using these closed for-profit services and at the same time those services are adding login screens even for just read access.

In Czechia we have Alza.cz and it works so well and is so well-established that Amazon has a hard time competing. For example I can order something 5 minutes before midnight on Saturday and it will be delivered the next day at 6 am to the A

It costs YouTube a lot of money because they pretended to be a free service and allowed anyone to upload enormous amounts of video data which they now have to continue storing and serving.

Not long ago I couldn't read an SMS message on iPad without enabling iMessage service first. Not sure if that is still the case. But that felt anti-consumer as I didn't want to use iMessage, I just wanted to use SMS reading functi

Now what remains is to stop moderating posts and write scripts and automations to fill Reddit with AI-generated spam. Then Spez will have a bag full of sh*t to do IPO with.

I have the same opinion. Having to choose a server is a significant hassle. Some servers specialize in one area, while others specialize in another. They "can" federate to some extent, but it is insufficient. The only thing that w

We need an open, ideally decentralized Reddit clone like Mastodon is for Twitter, archive those Reddit communities and delete them at Reddit.

Websites can use a single lengthy encrypted parameter to encode everything (query params and tracking data). And then what.. will they break all website links by removing the parameter?

So, if Google suspends my account, I will lose access to everything indefinitely? No, thank you! I am happy with my passwords (Bitwarden + Aegis).

CloudFlare is as evil as Google if not more and people don't seem to realize that. Solving their captcha doesn't help; it requires solving about 15 captchas before granting access. I gave up and I always use Chrome when that happe
