Why not use something like Postfix or Exim with a local application like Thunderbird? Also unless this is a tech-savvy organization or emailing or FOSS is part of their mission, consider just sticking with something from Google, Microsoft o

In this case I don't think the point is whether Google is better or worse at this search than Bing, it's that Google should fix the problem.

I'm just riffing here but this doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem if you're willing to spend. Open up a training school, put the old guard in as instructors, get some good students, pay everyone big money. Build a la

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying but it sounds like your theory is that Texan and Georgian voters were hornswoggled by New York and California carpetbaggers so their votes somehow don't matter for this discussion. The

One of the most pro-Republican states is Wyoming, state population around 581,000 in 2020. If we consider Trump voters as a proxy for people who might want to secede, we have about 235,000 people who voted for Trump out of about 427,000 eli

Texas went for Trump over Biden by a margin of about 630,000 votes in a state with a population of close to 30 million. That's a really tight margin for New York and California to decide to cut the whole state loose. Another factoid: B

Thanks! Do any significant disadvantages of Privacy Badger stand out to you, contrasted with uBlock Origin? The biggest problem I can think of is that uBlock Origin will immediately prevent me from loading content that could be dangerous, w

You don't really think it's "great", do you? More like, an acceptable trade-off? I'd love to hear the argument if you actually are pro-DRM as a thing in itself.

Are you using some ethical framework to decide what's "fair" in this case, or are you just going with your gut?

Thanks for your work. Has there been any study as to how closely Privacy Badger converges to list-based blockers like uBlock Origin given enough time? Is that at all a metric you use in development?

I don't totally understand your response. "Clans/tribes", which I think you originally used as a catch-all for the many and varied forms of local government over the past ten+ millennia of human history, predate the mode

1. Power in human society is social and contextual. If there's a custom to limit your status and you violate that, you can be ejected from the group and then your status goes down to nothing. This sort of thing happens all the time. If

That's a little backwards: something like the modern state might emerge from groups of people living in any number of ways. Clans/tribes don't emerge from the lack of a state. The state as we think of it is very recent in hum
