Really disappointing with the google analytics javascript used on this site ironically not making it as simple as he claims it is.

I tried reading the modern quantum mechanics book, but it seems very difficult off the bat. Seems like there is a lot they expect you to have a very heavy physics background already. I have a major in mechanical engineering and a minor in m

If it doesn't have a script/cookie manager (similar to umatrix) then it's worthless. I had the same issue with qutebrowser.

Yes. This is such a bizarre argument. Anime welfare and human welfare are two completely different issues. The fact that people are not treated amazingly farming plants shouldn't stop us from treating animals well. Also, what do we fee

Disclaimer: I'm vegan I really don't know how to help attitudes move towards a plant based life-style. I don't bother bringing it up because the second the topic is introduced, people feel attacked and that I'm just doin

Try ``Cookie AutoDelete''. It's very user friendly with whitelists, blacklists, and such.

In past discussions, I was led to believe we were safe from these devices, in terms of pervasive data collection, because the main processor that was always running was primitive and was only powerful enough to pick up a key phrase. This ph

It being an automatically updating rolodex is the issue. Live without this luxury so that people can maintain their freedom to privacy. Keep in mind that even if you don't care about your own freedom to privacy, you using these service

``Real'' books are an environmental nightmare. One e-reader can save countless trees.

>All can be taken advantage of only by an attacker who has already gained admin privileges within the system in question. A little over sensationalized.

Because they give that information to 3rd parties who have a larger database about you in which to add it. Privacy is a basic human right and everyone wants it. You wouldn't willingly offer all data about yourself and livestream a came

The pros you get are a luxury, while the cons are an infringement on our privacy. We're at the point where you sharing your data harms everyone else. For example, if there are 1000 people in a population and 999 willing share all data

Is it also useful to be contributing to the apathy that our privacy, as a society, isn't worth protecting?

Yeah I'm on linux so I'm just using vanilla mpv. When I was on Windows, I used MPC with MadVR. Have you tried that?

Is VLC even worth using these days? When last I stopped using it it seemed to be pretty far behind the other players in terms of HD video playback.

I think I'll just use this. I often need to cut up videos and I've found that using linux's video editing tools are horrendous. Even using ffmpeg from the command line doesn't work out due to its horrendous tolerance for

Over the last year I have severely cut my contact with these mega-corporations. Don't order from Amazon, google services is limited to the rare use of ``!g'' from duckduckgo, and I tend to get groceries from smaller grocery s

Wow I really think this is nonsense. I'm a mechanical design engineer. My job is most certainly not just calculating shit. There is a substantial amount of thinking about how to solve problems in a way similar to software engineers. I&

I notice AdNauseam blocks your adds even when I have it set to allow non-tracking ads. What sort precautions does DDG do to protect users who use your ads?

Ideally they would be coupled to our government, but since they aren't providing that, our employers should be obligated to ensure they are providing us with the means to keep ourselves healthy.
