I don’t use social media apps if I can avoid it. You don’t really know what information is being collected about you. Even the website collects an obscene amount of information. Combined with the fact that Reddit is full of incendiary conte

Hmmm, kind of misleading name. This isn't "git" news. It's miscellaneous software projects. If you want actual git news, checkout https://git.github.io/rev_news/

Really? How did past revolutions and terrorist attacks get organized? You realize most of world history existed before the Internet, right?

Why not more money? Shareholders of course. We’re talking about a company that skirts US labor laws by hiring in China. All profitable companies make these decisions to survive and succeed, not to improve the world the best they can.

That’s not encrypted and free from censorship.

Forget Twitter alternatives. How about a social network that mirrors real world social interactions? Only adding people you actually know. Keeping conversations private. Encryption to prevent censorship. What is the social media equivalent

I don’t know about this, but California law makers were discussing an asset tax at one point. The discussed law would have worked across state lines for up to 10 years to catch rich people who leave state lines. Just the discussion of such

The article says they put asterisks on the prices along with clarifications in the small text. That’s not being lied to, just annoying.
