In short: site breakage. We're so deep in this that a first party isolation would break almost every single website. In a cooperation with Tor, Mozilla actually ported the first-party isolation feature in mainstream Firefox (available

Ummm... there is no encryption key for WhatsApp and Messenger to hand over. That's what end-to-end encryption means. Now WhatsApp could theoretically push a malicious update, but there is no way Signal could even theoretically hand

I get what you're saying, but considering what we've witnessed in 2016 and how ethics, honestly and law no longer plays any part in the White House, what used to be unimaginable to me, now is. That being said, I could see the fu

Ummmm... the link in this thread leads to a verified "T-Mobile Austria" Twitter account, so what do you think? Every T-Mobile (including the US one) is owned by Deutsche Telekom, but most of its subsidiaries are named differently.

Nope, that would be minima: https://github.com/jekyll/minima Minima's the theme you get when you run "jekyll new". This is just a theme that Jekyll uses. I'm not quite sure it even has a name.

Kodi? Disregarding the fucking awful campaign against them because some 3rd party developers make piracy-focused add-ons, as someone who never owned a smart TV, Kodi seems pretty feature-compatible. I could be totally off though.

Google+ had all the necessary requirements to be successful, but it failed at creating the network effect. Facebook does have the network effect, so killing its network effect will be much more difficult.

It's really naive to think that this only became news in 2018. It's rather obvious that both Facebook and Google are conglomerates that know way more then they should about us. That has been the case since at least 2012. There&#x2

It seems to me like you don't understand the crucial difference between Twitter and Mastodon. There's no such thing as Mastodon, a singular social network. Mastodon is a series of instances that talk to each other. A sysadmin runn
