   I've released two films, one feature length, and one an oscar-nominated short. They're now in the Creative Commons. You can download them for free. Bitcoin and Dogecoin addresses are included in the torrents. http://spo

   I agree with this criticism. Making auto-correct optional would help usability a lot.

   I find the "!g" to perform an anonymous Google search works great, and has very little added effort.

   It's worth supporting companies who are using a privacy-centric business model.

   Agreed. Though, I don't know of any way to directly send money to Laura Poitras and co. I'm sure they would also appreciate donations made to the EFF.

   It's a funny joke. I didn't see the broadcast, but laughed at just the description. However, in the context of the Oscars, its humor will be lost on a large performance of the Audience. In the context of the narrative of the eveni

   Laws can only be applied retroactively. That's how laws work. That's why courts exist.

    I'm telling you the economic justification for a corporation. I don't like it either, but denying economies of scale as a reality of our world is silly. I would be fine with abolishing arms manufacturers. Have you stopped using Go

    I am really not sure why you are being downvoted. You expressed your opinion eloquently, and well within the rules of good discourse. Downvoters, you should reply to this post explaining what you find wrong with it, rather than simply downv

    This is the most absurd, depressing thing that I've read in a while. The point of a corporation is not to have a legal person without morals. The point of a corporation is to allocate resources more efficiently than could be done by le

    Talking about GamerGate on any forum will get you the craziest vote brigading you've ever seen. My original post went from 8 upvotes to -1 in less than a day. God forbid you use the hashtag on Twitter. It's like summoning demons f

    Sure, I think that's a fair clarification. I think about 98% of "Censorship" is due to vote brigading. It doesn't feel like censorship until your particular cause or group or agency is the one that comes under the boot.
