I used "Inspect Element" to change the body{background-color} and the body{color} because I didn't like the combination.

It never was a neutral unbiased concept. It's always been used by the oponents of "neoliberalism", and (almost?) never by the proponents of a free market economy.

Yes. But the whole point of having a free (as in freedom) browser in the first place is so that the user controls it, and not google, apple, microsoft, 'Moonlight', etc.

No, thanks. I prefer to know what site I'm actually visiting.

If there's a real free market, then people are going to find someone willing to host anything for money. The real problem is when the law prevents companies from hosting them.

But it would make too much sense to criticize the artificial monopolies created by the state instead of complaining about ISPs!

The same thing happens to me, it has stopped me from getting into arguments on the Internet, because I know that I won't be able to express my thoughts clearly enough to convince anyone.

People should stop saying that net neutrality died, it didn't die, it just won't be mandatory in the US, companies can still offer plans that respect net neutrality.

I use it for anything that doesn't involve programming or markup: to-do lists, clipboard, relatives' birthdays, etc.

No censorship, files are not held by any specific organization, etc. Basically the same reasons why someone would prefer torrents over web hosting (e.g. megaupload).

>What irritates me now are more and more sites that only work with Chrome (where they literally throw up a page that blocks access and says go download Chrome). Any example of this?. Because I've never visited such a site.

It makes me so mad to know that these morons are in charge of a developed country. I would love to see protests and massive backlash for this, but I know it's not gonna happen.

Shouldn't we celebrate changes in the binary representations instead of decimal?. After all, that's how it's stored.

90F = 32.2 °C for anyone wondering, I just had to look it up.

Me too, but I still can't stop using WhatsApp, it's the most popular IM app in my country, and only a small percentage of my friends cares enough about their privacy and digital freedom to switch to an alternative.

This. I've been recently wondering if I either sit too far away from the monitor (~60 cm) or my screen has too much pixel density (1080p / 21.5 inches), Because my vision is almost perfect and I can barely read the text on HN with

As long as it's closed source, we have to assume that it's unsecure.

Why not just donate to the sites whose content you value?

It's bizarre to think that, according to most countries' justice, a guy behind a computer is as dangerous to society as a serial killer.

I'm not being coerced to use Facebook, there's not threat of physical violence involved. I choose to use the web, if some site has fb trackers I can disable cookies, I can disable JS, I can do whatever I want with my computer in o

According to Max Weber, Something is "a 'state' if and insofar as its administrative staff successfully upholds a claim on the 'monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force'. I am not part of the state, the stat

Well, your moral principles are very different from mine. I don't feel like I (or the state) should have a say about what goes on inside of Facebook's servers, they can do whatever they want with the information they have as long

I had thought something similar, but with Google drive instead of Facebook. To create a rogue client that encrypts my files, uploads them to Drive encrypted, but presents them nicely unencrypted in my local machine. That way I get the free

Then Europe is going to do the same, and the solution will be to not visit Europe, and so. Eventually we won't be able to leave our country without giving up our privacy. The real solution is that people from the country protest when s

I think that rather than deny access, it feeded the app with randomly generated data.

Well. We have smart phones, which are essentially the same, but portable.

I left facebook a couple of weeks ago. It's been great so far, because I don't feel the urge to read comments on news sites' fanpages. When I did, it usually ended in resent against people from my country for being so stupid.
