As opposed the the slippery slope that democracies are sliding down all over the world? I agree that it is challenging, but frankly, given how much evidence there is of bad actors and misinformation on social media sites it has become clear

Creating a "new browser" is monumental task, and it's not enough to make something that works. Browsers are extremely high risk pieces of software with an attack surface comparable to an operating system. Building something

I think you should publish it on a personal web page, and on each of those platforms (Apple, Android, Itch). Without actually playing it, and only looking at the video you provided, it looks like a playable, but basic tower defense game. I

That's one interpretation, and I am by no means trying to defend Facebok, or their privacy team, but it is an extremely uncharitable interpretation. There are many, many, many folks who work in positions that allow them to provide for

It can be shockingly difficult to get Google to talk to you while you have an account too. Unless you are a paying Google customer, it is challenging to get support.

That would be a fair assessment, but did you miss the part where Google got a discount based on an agreement, then changed the agreement and started demanding additional concessions? It is perfectly fair for the people of Toronto to push ba

No. The reason why freedom of speech (or freedom of expression, if you're Canadian like me) is important in a government context is because the government (in theory) has a monopoly on violence. Businesses and private individuals sho

Not to be snarky, but if there is a need to do this, it's pretty easy. If there is a real need, it is pretty trivial to do with VirtualBox or DosBox. Those applications from 20 years ago running in emulators will work far better in 20

Surely you have something to back this up other than a super weak analogy? Lets pick your assumption apart - there are 200 million motorcycles in the world, but there are only an esitmated 35 million km of roads. That means there are appro
