Yes sorry. The browser is directly owned by a for-profit, then.

You're talking about the same Firefox that displays ads on my home page by default, sends analytics to them by default, and is owned by a foundation that is owned by a for-profit company?

I don't like it, it's un-C-like.

Banning the spreading of ideas requires control of information, yes.

I think "protesting in front of twitter HQ for enabling a political view I don't like" is a silly thing to do. If you don't like X (in this case fascism) I am sure there are better things you can do to stop it, like crea

They will just switch to whatsapp. I'm sure "human rights" advocates will be extra happy about the end to end encryption now :')

"human rights abuses"... so they will lean left, like that Twitter committee.

>ALICE fails to adequately peer with CAROL’s autonomous network and calls it a feature. It also works the other way around: CAROL does not want to pay ALICE to have premium access. Also, laughable that you call me a shill. Seems like the

>Side note, Netflix isn't using any traffic. They're not sending me a UHD video stream unsolicited. I'm using the traffic. Milk companies put their lorries in the highway to deliver their products. You're the one buyi

ISPs are neutral here, the problem is, once again, that Netflix uses a HUGE amount of traffic, and the normal routes (the ones everybody gets) get saturated. If they want "premium" routes for their MASSIVE traffic, they will have

Netflix uses fast.com and their speed index as a way to extort ISPs into giving them traffic for free. They refuse to pay any fees to connect directly to ISPs and then they use that website to imply they are being throttled when the meager

I used the wrong term, I meant "dominant position". Google has one with Android and they abuse it. That's why they are being fined.

Apple does not have a <s>monopoly</s> dominant position. In my country I think they are like 10% of the market. You can't abuse your dominant position if you don't have one.

In this case it was a political change; some OEMs caved and changed the pistol to a water gun and some did not. Emoji are a vital part of the way we communicate online so some see them as a prime way to push their agenda.

That's not everything the TFA says. It begins talking about how uncivil the Chinese are.

The point of Windows is Win32 and DirectX. At least for me: those are the two reasons I can't move to any other OS.

Yeah, the same many developers haven't escaped strings they inserted into SQL tables, leading to SQL injections. Does this mean if I don't do that I have a right to brag about it? If I wrote a post saying "look at me, I escap

I don't think it's technically possible to make voting machines secure enough to use them in an election. So I am happy these things happen so the idea of using voting machines fades away forever.

It seems strange to me that there are no Chinese OEMs selling mobiles with iOS. I mean, I understand it's hard, but is it THAT hard?

Is it still blocked? It works here, but some geo DBs locate me in Russia because my ISP bought the IP address I use from there recently.

Having a centralised system with health records is bad? I've had that since I was born in my country and I think it's useful and handy. Something happens to you, they know what could've been, if you're on meds, what thin
