I find it very amusing that the "A Threat to our Democracy™" card gets pulled out, even when the context is repealing unilateral decisions and bringing the choice to a more local level. People should just be honest and start sayin

I'm pretty sure everybody says this about their country. I've noticed it's kind of like how everyone thinks their state's/country's weather is uniquely unpredictable.

I agree with your point of taking security measures into your own hands, but given how pompompurin was only caught through using a personal email address with his name on it, despite using Windows (!) , I think you're a lot safer than

It's really annoying that HN has resorted to the same hivemind behaviour as Reddit. You're asking a reasonable question, because you didn't follow, and you're greyed-out from downvotes. If someone has a bad take, downvot

To get on-motherboard, one might even say.

I initially missed the comma, and read the title as implying that rich people understood InnerText better than poor people.

I'm certainly not a member of the "trendy crowd." I say Java is ugly as a fan of Lisp and C. There's just so much boilerplate to implement something basic.

I've seen Oil mentioned here and there, and haven't thought much of it. But this blog is pretty interesting and really shows the effort put into it. I may have to give it a whirl.

I'm pretty sure this is the standard belief of most libertarians. People just keep conflating libertarian with ancap.
914.
by seanw444 4y ago
Why does everyone conflate libertarians with ancaps? It's not the same thing. Libertarians accept that there is a degree of government that is necessary.

It's the only use I've personally seen. It's become more popular in the privacy/security scene.

> I love Linux on the server side, but I just don't have time to deal with frustrating bullshit issues caused by this bazaar-engineering on the desktop side, even if it's FOSS. I'd rather pay and have something that works.

Make Monero popular ( doomer wojack )

by seanw444 4y ago
I'm not either. But it's always a fight worth fighting. If nobody is vocally against this stuff, governments can just go "see, nobody even wants full privacy anyways."

I trust XMPP over Matrix. Both for security and less bloat.

Which, depending on the type of encryption, is still too low.

The human race is doomed. We never learn from even the most common tropes used to do harm to innocent people.

E2EE on platforms like FB Messenger means absolutely nothing to me if their client apps are closed-source.

In short: PIs are limited in what they can actually do. They can't imprison you or kill you. However, the government has the monopoly on violence and imprisonment. Seems pretty clear to me which one should be able to purchase this info

This is a stupid argument, and one that will never be won.

Bun* is that much faster. Wonder what Node or Deno perform like.

You mean a VPS? Yes. An HTTP server, no. At least not by default / design.

It's not 100% control over everything as I occasionally work with a contracted dev studio that's building a couple large utilities that would take me individually a very long time to complete. So I work with them occasionally (but
