Your comment really resonates with me, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. There are two sides of the coin: you as an individual, and society. As an individual, you're doing the right things by focussing on playing your

I agree with others that a new business model for search is refreshing. But... for a privacy-oriented service, Neeva is doing a poor job in earning my trust. I spent some minutes in their website and all I could find are vague promises and

Very well articulated. It's the digital equivalent of emotional blackmail.

I disagree it's out of line to group Reddit with the likes of Pinterest, fb, etc. The fact that they're slightly more user-friendly doesn't make up for using dark patterns and dirty tricks. I think it's unethical to int

Agreed. I am a Mint user and I couldn't be happier. I switched around one year and a half ago because I was concerned about the constant data transfer (increasingly harder to deactivate) between my devices and Apple/MS. I was also

I agree! Linux Mint is very easy to install and to use. I tried both the ubuntu and debian flavours and I love the simplicity and elegance of cinnamon.

> I'm not aware of any Linux distros that are suitable for non-developers This is quite a bold statement. I'm not a developer and recently installed a number of linux distros to try which is best. Some of them were actually eas

You're right, the behaviour of the footer clearly creates a major usability issue. I personally dislike infinite scrolling with a passion. I can't see any big advantages and there are a lot of cons. I keep my hopes high that one

Many thanks for the insight. I am now going on a rabbit hole to discover what that solution implies, how it works, etc. :)

Are you serious? My debian and ubuntu computers can play 4k streaming without problems! (youtube, twitch, etc). I don't see a reason why linux can't play 4K. Could you please elaborate?

For some experiences, content needs to be updated in page 1 (google is a good example). How would you then share page 7? that requirement could only be met if content was static (no updates) or the ordering of results was old to new. Am I

> but when it can be one of several apps, and the sole purpose of the app is retain a cryptographic key and run some hashes on it... I lose most of my sympathy. I can't see how having a choice of apps changes anything. An employer s

Are you talking about any particular individuals or organizations? Who are they? Is this just a general observation? In which case... what evidence do we have to support your statement? Are you suggesting 100% of individuals who support pir

Great advice and thanks for sharing. However, the risk of these programs is that they don't last forever. Microsoft can disable what they do, find alternative ways of stealing data, etc.

Your example is valid for a user familiar with the installation process. OP mentioned is a new user. Also, even if you toggle "everything off" there is stolen data going through which you don't even have an option to disable.

Yes, and that's the issue with most computers today: there's no way to opt out to Windows. Whether you like it or not, licensing cost is blended into the computer and even if you don't use Windows you're somehow supporti

Looking at the evidence, I would say this is a pure UX/UI issue at root: three people got confused about what they needed to do, and they all thought they completed their task successfully when they didn't. The first UI issue is t

To me, the overarching topic here is trust. Who do you trust with you private stuff? On the left corner, Whatsapp. Owned by a company who has been caught red-handed with plenty of shady stuff. From accepting money to manipulate democracies

I agree with @epc. in the mid to long term, it’s best to drop clients that constantly put pressure on you. Receiving pressure on a constant basis takes a toll on mental health, and health is our most precious asset. Don’t waste it with peop
