Regarding war crimes, here's a friendly reminder that they're almost exclusively addressed against black Africans despite the many war crimes committed by others - and usually those with far more global power. In fact, the United

I'm not sure there is a way to create a search engine that can verifiably respect your privacy unless you were to self-host the entire thing. This one's hosted in France. France is part of Nine Eyes, among other things.

For automatic backups of photos, this is built-in functionality of NextCloud. That's what I currently use. My plan is to then identify a good photo organizer / viewing self-hosted application that does non-destructive organizing,

I tend to repeat these types of concerns: the number of powerful and complex black boxes are increasing, with things like 5G making it even easier to low-key pass information without us knowing. A common counterargument comes up when discus

Feels like a corporate op. Good marketing, pretty website, objectively worse software, and they spy on + sell your data. No real investment from their side other than marketing talent.

NextCloud already offers photo sync and gallery functionality that you can self-host. 100% free and open source.

A large portion of liberals convince themselves that woke capitalist censorship isn't really censorship and that it's fighting "the good fight" so long as it's hurting their enemies. A large portion of conservatives

One should be wary of promoting the idea that these companies will create a valid and trustworthy tiered system of validity in news media. News media already has serious problems that are generally ignored, go unrecognized, or become part o

Sideloading is definitely a pain in that the Google Play Store is given privileges so long as you don't have root (the vast majority of people don't). For example, while the Google Play Store can automatically update 10 apps at a

Thanks for the reply! That makes sense. And sorry for the late response.

Unless the typical uber ride is an hour long, the price would not be doubled. And I see no reason that demand would go down in a way that is worth the trade-off of exploitation and forcing people to go on without living wages.

Simply start your own major smartphone platform to compete with the duopoly, duh. Easy as that.

My understanding with Alacritty is that functionality like tabs would be up to downstream software to implement. So I create a new project called "UltraAwesomeTerminal" and use Alacritty as a library. Is that accurate? I'm ki

Sounds like we need to figure out why employers want things that are not necessary for excelling at positions.

This is the clearest and most detrimental aspect of shutting this down. So many blind and/or deaf YouTube visitors depend on user-generated captioning. One nitpick, I would disagree that accessibility features will always be low usage.

It's in capitalists' interest so the pressure often exists prior to the ideological goal. Keeping in mind that I'm not "both sides"-ing this, consider that neither party actually uses their power to address the deep

A repair mindset can also help with wastefulness and standardization. If you expect that you'll need to repair an item, having a certification or expectation that it can even be repaired will force the use of more standardized compon
