As someone involved in internet infrastructure I find this particularly upsetting. We should be seeking to connect people even in the worst places to shine light on the problems, not cut them off from the world.

Why wouldn't applying reason (especially since you're familiar with your personal situation) result in better decisions than just listening to people who are paid to tell you what to think? What argument are you even making here?

The older I get the more I realize that after you get to about average intelligence, it's control over emotions that matters far more than intelligence or technical knowledge if you're not working completely alone. That, I think,

>Popularity -> utility Talk about tired arguments. All popularity really means is good PR. As to toasters and Nintendos, yes I do whatever I want with those, toasters have nothing to stop me and Nintendos are usually trivial (and ofte

From what I've seen the British haven't hesitated to spend money on defense. The Germans were told not to buy the British to try and crush the Prussian military tradition and prevent future land wars, a powerful Russia being one o

I stopped buying Qualcomm smartphones years ago. There's no way I'd by a laptop with one of their chips. What an unfortunate choice by Lenovo.

People don't like the constraints of smartphones but they don't understand computers well enough to articulate it. That you do and then you mock me for pointing it out indicates a particularly ugly kind of follower mentality. X11

This is by far the best solution but too many game devs think keeping the source secret gives them a competitive advantage.

I've always preferred Windows binaries for closed stuff to Linux ones. If you're not going to open source you thing then don't even bother developing Linux Binaries, we'll just run it in Wine.

Telegram is not end to end encrypted and requires you to use a phone number for ID. The only worse IM app I can think of is iMessage.

Why would I do that when I'm already closer to the enemy here?
