The idea that Tor is slow is widely spread but absolutely inaccurate. In my experience, in the last two years Tor isn't slow, and the bottleneck seems to be my Internet Provider. People I know used Tor uploading files at more than 10 M

Why is this on top of HN? Because the original founder of Telegram was forced out of his company and his shares now belong to Russian oligarchs, so we all forget that this was a bad softwar with old crypto and claiming to be open source whe

Likely because it follows the highly organized release cycle Firefox has adopted a couple of years ago. If the new pdf.js is included right now in Nightly, which is necessary in order to verify its integration in the browser, its interactio

The question is: once online feature is disabled, can you really be sure no information about you is shared beyond your back? Edit From what I gather they're not open source: I would be happier to see them go FOSS than free.

Wow, really exciting! And I know I am ( not ) being paranoid, but imagine how excited NSAs of the world all will be! A new kind of keyboard, that has capabilities to understand and predict what the user will write? This just looks like so

Doesn't work for me too. Firefox, Tree Style Tabs too, and a lot of other extensions. I enabled scripts, allowed requests. I tried 4 times to let you make my closing the tab harder than the usual.

If running TPB was such a lucrative activity as you assume, why would they hand TPB over to the Pirate Party to run? If you watch the movie (TPB AFK), you'll surely get that they weren't in it for the money, and that they don&#x27

There is no doubt at all about the trial. But as for the arrest, no, no need to bribe anybody to simply execute the sentence.

Me too (they are in closed beta, at the moment, as far as I know). But I have to admit that I don't appreciate hemlis: a solution like TextSecure, i.e. allowing federation, looks better to me.

Yes, I know (one on and one off). They can catch him anyway, like they did with Gottfried.

At the same time you have to consider that this isn't new, as already pointed out.

Too bad he didn't made to the EU Parliament. That makes two out of the three in jail, which is very saddening. I wonder what will happen to Frederik: I doubt they will just let him be. They are beating three to scare millions.

You can watch the movie, it surely will provide you some more context. http://watch.tpbafk.tv/ To reply to your answer: no, they just provide a distribution tool. Yes, it is very much used to bypass copyright, but they just

Not enough to fully understand the situation, but great documentary. Highly recommended. Freely available, of course, so here's a magnet link, for those unwilling to open their PirateBrowser / to bypass TPB censorship. magne

Am I the only one finding it ironic that they used (Adobe) Flash to show the chapel to the whole world, when tourists can't use (camera) flash to show it to their close friends? Well, just jacquesm, I simpathize with the stewards: &quo

Other than Google Play Store, you can use FDroid. Firefox Marketplace also provides Apps: the offer is very tiny at the moment, but will likely grow in near future. https://f-droid.org/ https://marketplace.firefo
