Please don't use the word "pick". It sounds exactly like the Dutch word for penis. Also don't use the word "could" because in Dutch that sounds like a nasty word for vagina. Thanks for being considerate. There

Yet here I am as a Linux user actually hoping the competition can even catch up on the hardware side of things, since it's all so locked down when Apple does it. But I have no illusion about a future for the x86 arch on mobile devices,

The button of betrayal is right there in the demo. Your privacy is not safe with Mozilla. It requires the same level of distrust as other browser vendors, but at least with those vendors people already know . Mozilla luls people in to trus

What is the point of firefox if it comes with spyware? This supposed feature is nothing more than a css tweak that somehow needs to upload your urls to this 3rd party provider that is not bound by the privacy guidelines of Mozilla. It is ma

Many responsible adults jumped on the 'it can't be man made' bandwagon out of instinct. It feels like the kind of narrative that could lead to destabilization and may be fueled by xenophobia. But beyond the responsible adults

Well as a European from the Netherlands this means I won't even risk a city trip or holiday to the UK. Can you imagine being imprisoned rather than just being refused? Have they gone mental? This is war. Living in Amsterdam in tempted

I've only been a tourist in Greece, so definitely not an expert, but.... Take your house. Now add some scaffolding for a new floor on top of it. Does it alter the ability or even quality of living in it? It might also help hide the poo

Keep in mind that that is an American problem. Here in the Netherlands and most of Europe kids go to school independently. They are not constant prisoners of adults stuck in american suburbia where one can only safely go from A to B by car.

If they aren't smart enough to put code examples on their homepage, yet they did spend effort on making it look professional, then you can assume it's either vaporware or corporate nonsense and dismiss it out right. If they don&#x

Also, doesn't firefox still contain things like pocket.io and other 3rd party data integrations? I don't know the current situation but I stopped considering Firefox an alternative or mozilla more trust worthy than Google at that

Yeah. As someone not in any risk group I will prefer the Pfizer or Moderna one. I'll be happy to get the Janssen one or even the Sputnik, but if the vaccine they offer me is AZ then I will refuse. And not just because of the obviously

It's more important how we all feel about each other and our drama than the fact there isn't a currently easily available obvious way to have private secure conversations. Your "they are not being constructive enough" is

Yeah. Its super scary. The idea that an algorithm decides and no legal recourse, all decided by a company that has an illegal amount of control on what is supposed to be public space. Imagine all the public squares to be owned by some compa

Yeah. But that's a company risk. Not being able to participate in video conferencing and desktop sharing is an employment risk. Im a picky person though. I already use i3, but also have NVidia gpu's. I don't mind spending som

Then Google should hire journalists to write it. Those Silicon Valley boys, always trying to make money on the labour of others. Will they ever come up with a business plan that is not at heart slavery, theft or extortion?

There are more countries in the world that believe the people should be in charge not venture capital. Europe would close ranks pretty much immediately. As would New Zealand. Not so sure about UK though, but that's not a surprise to an

Yeah I fail to see anything addressed at all. Just fluff words and old sci fi trope. How is this presented as something published in a peer reviewed journal. Is the article completely misrepresenting the research or is the research itself t

I think the OP was referring to the unfortunate phrasing. For a publication like Nature to use baby-talk phrasings that are just semantic nonsense. Im not a native English speaker, but I would be embarrassed if I wrote that headline.

Where on the internet can I be free from being indoctrinated by idiots about god's and ghosts that aren't well defined enough to exist, like the 'deep state' It's such a weird and pathetic phrase to use.
