tl;dr: Author thinks the pipe operator introduces anti-patterns, after not using a pipe operator for 10 years.

That resulted in delays, not incorrect codes.

I doubt you're actually having this problem, but if you are, you can add an issue to the corresponding Android/iOS repo.

Hm, I think your idea of letting the search engine decrypt with your public key would solve the issue of private.sh being the untrusted party. The search engine would be able to send back the encrypted results which private.sh wouldn't

Most of it's answered here https://private.sh/how-it-works.html So you're using the search engine's public key to encrypt it, meaning the proxies can't decrypt it. But yes, you have to trust the client-s

What harm have they "already caused"? Is link rot such a damaging phenomenon that it warrants attacking hobbyists and their not-for-profit public service? Will you help financially compensate their time setting up these fail-safes

Yep, it's all fluff. They were supposed to reveal more information on the matter in a conference back in October. But we still only have a "technical" paper with nice looking graphs and an unnamed boogie-man.

I hope the book goes in detail _how_ we are to take back control of our data. One person deleting their Facebook and having good privacy hygiene on the web won't make a dent. Telling others to do the same is futile as well. It's l

You can log in to your account here https://shop.puri.sm/my-account/ and go to the Addresses tab to edit your current shipping address. I've had to do the same, as a backer since June '19.

Once the docker installation is documented, it should take considerably less time to self-host. This is for `yarn build`, but perhaps it applies to `yarn install` as well: there's a note in the documentation that says compiling the fro

Yeah, I didn't understand what the author was trying to get at. Every point made against Firefox, Chrome itself offends to an exponential degree. Their conclusion of using ungoogled-chromium makes no sense, as it still suffers from at

It's nigh-impossible to please privacy absolutists, while also hoping to create a consumer friendly (UX-wise) product. It also takes very little for them to toss the baby out with the bathwater. Which is all a bit baffling since we alr

Most of the PRs I make outside of work and personal projects are to obscure libraries I found useful, which usually have a maintainer whom awakens from their slumber once every few lunar cycles.

I'm not too familiar with the technique; doesn't pixel tracking still require JS to derive more info from the visitor beyond just their IP address?

Yeah, if it were a violation of an _open source_ license, then the parent comment would make more sense. Microsoft's love for open source is surface level; they love how easy it is to embrace, extend, and extinguish.

Because, given the current stats shown here on mail-in voting, most of OP's generation has not voted. And so they're hoping they'll at least be voting in person.

Sort of; the underlying WebRTC protocol WebTorrent uses encrypts the data in transit, and the data never hits the server. Downside is that the sender, or someone else who has completed the torrent download, must keep the page (or their WebT

Would this also apply to forcing users to enable location for content that only partially requires it? In particular, Snapchat has some location-based filters, but even the ones that don't require location (purely cosmetic, rewind, slo

Thanks kundan2510! I sent in a submission. Your API endpoint worked really well for me in the past, so your service will certainly take precedence.

Wow, this is perfect! It even has a Unity plugin. I'll certainly give Resemble a whirl.
