The younger generation is more IM focused than social network app focused. InstaGram / SnapChat / etc are going to do to Facebook what Reddit did to Digg.

I had a similar problem. After I stopped using gmail & google search (for privacy reasons) and started using Duck Duck Go, it almost seemed random in what news it was trying to feed me because it didn't have enough data. I messed

It's not at all rare, and it's endorsed by the admins. They LITERALLY changed their algorithm to keep the Donald Trump fan subreddit from appearing in the /all filter and their posts from ever reaching the front page. When y

My understanding is that it stemmed from them being able to compel you to take your fingerprints. In the old days you'd put your fingers in ink then put them on paper so they could record your fingerprint. I guess a judge ruled that

Remember the 5th Amendment applies to passwords. No law enforcement officer may EVER compel you to log in to a device with a password / pass code / unlock pattern, for any reason.

Reddit only used free speech as a draw until it got enough user to make money by pushing agendas. It's been agenda-pushing high censorship for years now, but some people just started noticing around the 2016 US election where they did

I had the opposite impression. Dropbox sync was constantly making conflict files while Google Drive Sync (now replaced by File Stream) was able to more gracefully determine which file was newer. File stream adds the benefit of just keepin

Particularly with how popular it is to use bots to Facebook Like, Retweet Twitter, Upvote Reddit, etc. I'm a little worried about being hidden from search when you get too many downvotes, because I personally could probably create a

Here does "decentralized" also mean "censorship-resistant"? In light of YouTube censoring perfectly legal videos for wrongthink, I think it could be a big win for you to also come out as only censoring when there's

Since you're doing .NET have you looked at https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia for cross platform UIs? I haven't messed with it, but it just hit beta and I was hoping for some insights.

To say there's no encryption AT ALL when it's fully encrypted over the wire is still false. Not having E2E encryption is different than not having encryption AT ALL.

This is 100% false. EVERYTHING that goes over the wire is encrypted, always, just like when you're on a TLS website such as your bank. Group chats aren't end-to-end encrypted, and 1 on 1 chats are only end-to-end encrypted if you

I feel like it got a little slower when they moved it from a Chrome App to https://remotedesktop.google.com as part of deprecating Chrome Apps. Other than that, it's pretty great (and simple to use). I always recommend it

Are you seeing any performance difference in 32 vs 64? I'd imagine the vast majority of newer Windows PC that ship can do 64, but is there a great reason to run 64-bit VLC?

There is definitely no shortage of doomsday climate models. CREDIBLE models is a different story. Look back at ones from 20+ years ago to see what they predicted would be happening by now. It's pretty funny actually.

p7zip was also patched. 18.00 doesn't have the bug, but it looks like Peazip hasn't been updated with it. I'm not sure what other FOSS alternative to use. BandiZip is free (as in beer) but doesn't seem to have an updat
