Sibling comments are saying money, but that's not the whole reason imho. The mere act of putting out that kind of quality artifact into the world attracts the talent that can produce that kind of artifact (or in fact, even just talent

there you go, good one. Can we resolve with something like a company level "NAT" but for phones? (not a question directed to you obviously :D )

sure. Looks like we need to mildly inconvenience personal-phone-for-work users then? All in favor say "aye" Aye

does somebody know why the hell caller id spoofing is a thing though? It must have served a purpose at some point, otherwise we could just fix it, right? I'm befuddled by the fact that we just don't make caller ids not spoofable..

you are saying that like cybercrime was easier to fight than physical heists. That seems like a bad assumption? And I'm in no way a "banks" fan...

yes, you could describe that use case as "quarantining" websites in short, but I'd say it's a power user feature if managed manually. If you install the "facebook container" extension, it's zero conf but i

what you mention is one advantage, another example is that you are not limited to 2 contexts (private tab & non-private tab vs as many containers as you need). Related to the advantage you mention is also the reverse: clicking a non-fac

just clarifying I wasn't talking about my family, but yeah, I do think that some families have something wrong: bigot/religious extremist members is one of those problems.

still, this seems more like in the physical store you getting tracked with cameras, reward cards and so on and things getting rearranged on the shelves etc. just for you. I consider this surveillance. I consider it less surveillance-y if a

Happy to see you try AGPL honestly. It might turn out to not be the right choice, but I think as a license it didn't get a fair test because of how businesses avoiding viral licenses made software authors shy away from them. With the A

thanks for getting Sidebery on my radar! I tried treestyletabs and unfortunately it felt somewhat disappointing given how much people seem to like it. At a first try Sidebery looks and feels more modern/slick! Might be what I was loo

I see. Agreed that's, not great. I'm still more worried about amazon behavior and power currently tbh. Plus she is replaceable by somebody else that is willing to break up big tech, I don't care if it's her or someone el

what did she say in response? I only saw her tweet and amazon's petty (and misleading) response. Who said she cannot be criticized? I think mostly people are saying that they are cringey liars...
