The reasons don’t really have to do with privacy, but rather economics.

The core issue is that most people ignore new features if they are opt-in rather than opt-out. And that presents a problem for investors who want to see people using the new features.

The fact that this is also a privacy nightmare is irrelevant to the money. That part is just a symptom.

As with most things capitalism, the only thing that moves the needle is money. If firefox sees a sharp and sustained loss of the user share, they’ll reverse course.

What root problem are you trying to solve that a password manager and browser extension doesn’t fix?

I realize this is also unverifiable, but it’s just a return to non-existentence.

You already experienced that for most of human history, and then for a comparatively breif period, things were different, and then it’s back to non-existence.

Peans. Not quite peas, not quite beans, but something special, in betweens

It really depends from building to building.

If the building has a ton of bandwidth, good QoS rules and not too many people on the network all at once, the only downside is that you won’t have any control over the network and cant make any changes.

If the building has a shitty connection, no QoS, or too many people, then you are likely to get bad service.

It’s gotta be one of the early ones, before they figured out how to balance things. Something like Avernum, Geneforge, Wizardry, or Wasteland

Treat it like an especially junior dev that just graduated University.

It knows simple boilerplate stuff pretty well, but never trust it implicitly.

a lot of judgement here from someone that doesn’t know what a hamburger is

“Lying or ignorant. Pick one. Only one.”

I feel like both is a likely option here too

This is the correct take.

Content warnings on everything seems silly until you think about what the alternative is. It’s much better to have largely uncensored media that people can engage with intellectually, making their own decisions if they want to experience it or not.

The alternative is visible in the advertiser-friendly hellscape that mainstream social media has become, where people can’t even say words like “kill” or “drug” without being buried by the algorithm.

For a healthy society to exist, people need to be able to interact with sensitive topics and challenging ideas.

How do you handle backups?

The other side of email is that it has become the default identity provider for the Internet. If that VM becomes unrecoverable somehow, how would you get access to your past emails?

Does ACAB include RoboCop?

It still is if you’re willing to jump through enough hoops

This is basically what they did in feudal Japan.

Like, a potential rival that lives near your capital, is given the opportunity to pay for the development of a massive wall to protect it, along with bragging rights that they’re powerful enough to help the city, and that they have close ties with leadership as an ally

This drains them of capital they could use to raise an army, and also installs a big fortification that makes it harder to attack.

I remain cautiously optimistic.

Having a real viable alternative to Android or IOS that is as easy as going and buying a new phone, will be a boon for everyone.

If that company also sells some weird Alexa knockoff, then thats fine. I simply won’t buy it.

A club with fans? Some kind of fan clu…ohhh

Hell yeah

I don’t think you can send audio over DisplayPort

This was a pretty good series on the subject. He goes into what “currency” is right at the beginning

Respectfully, I disagree

given how blatant and inconsistent the lying was no reason to excuse it.

I was 14, and trusted that the US had adults in government that knew more about the situation than I did.
