As soon as you connect a phone to your home WiFi or log into a single account that device is instantly associated with you and tracks you forever. Phone numbers are just a convenient way for big tech to share your identity amongst themselv

I have 3 tech related subscriptions; BorgBase, JetBrains, and historio.us. I self-host everything , but I've never found anything that replaces historio.us. It indexes just enough to always get me a complete copy of the data I want

I think blockchain domains are detrimental to the existing system, so I don't get why XYZ would help try to legitimize them. They're not even promoting XYZ. They're literally encouraging customers to go buy a .eth domain wh

Wow. I hadn't seen that. I just read about it and it reinforces my view that cryptocurrency is appealing to the wealthy because of the promise that whoever controls all the tokens and resources (ie: wealth) controls all the rules. Wh

I've never used Vercel, but skimming their site I think it's roughly the same concept as Cloudflare Pages / Functions. SvelteKit has adapters [1] for both Cloudflare and Vercel (and Netlify), so they must be reasonably simila

I think JavaFX could have been more successful if they would have managed it differently. I really liked it. The JavaFX developers were all great to deal with and would help you as much as they could. One of the problems in my opinion is

I'd really like to see one of the popular influencers disrupt the review industry by coming up with a way to bring back high quality technical analysis. I'd love to see what the cost of revenue looks like in the review industry.

I'm fairly sure you need to provide ID and notarized docs where I am, but I've never done anything more than a sole proprietorship since we're allowed to conduct business under our personal name up to a certain point.

OV certificates are even worse. The verification is a hassle and it's extremely difficult to distinguish OV from DV. Try to figure it out. The only way I'm aware of is to make sure the `Policy Identifier` [1] of the certifica

The registrars are obligated to prevent fraud and abuse. If they fail to do that job you can appeal directly to the registry. If the registry doesn't do anything you can appeal to ICANN. All of them are within the scope of the legal
