Interesting, but not surprising considering all the pressure from governments regarding Libra. I wonder if Facebook will ever back down from Libra considering how popular it is, or if they're going to adopt a "rain or shine"

> ServeTheHome asked Oracle why it chose to create a cluster of Raspberry Pis instead of using a virtualized Arm server and one company rep said simply that "...a big cluster is cool." Honestly that's a totally valid reaso

A very interesting statement. The Hong Kong ISP Association makes a number of very good points. Much of Hong Kong's economy relies on the open internet (like most of the world) and censoring it would do it much harm.

I opted out of the redesign on my account. That way, I use the old design on my account, even if I'm not using old.reddit.

It is the worst redesign I've ever seen on a major website like this for a number of reasons. It's needlessly heavy on resources, it's slow, it's difficult to navigate, it's filled to the brim with ads, it's un

Samsung's SmartThings seems to be pretty similar. Not sure about it's security though.

It's super cool that the game is being updated 10 years later to effectively remaster it AND make modding easier! I wish more developers were like this, but I can see why that might be difficult (which makes this all the more impressiv

Just because you don't use or need those features doesn't mean that everyone feels the same. Many people use any enjoy the features that steam provides. For example, I enjoy the ability to go to someone's profile and be able

It promotes athleticism, teamwork, and is generally enjoyable to those around it. Sure, some schools may invest a little too much into sports, but that doesn't mean that schools should drop sports entirely.

This is a really bad post with a lot of completely needless personal attacks, with some coming right out of the gate.

This is really cool! I've always dreamed of something like Google Docs for programmers.

On one hand, this creates a platform that is more or less the standard of the web. On the other hand, this only gives Google more control of the web. I really wish that instead of doing this Microsoft would just stick with EdgeHTML and mayb

> Find the one that is the most restrictive in what it protects and make that your policy. ;) Pretty much. As an example, see how car manufacturers follow California's emission standards nationwide, because it's easier to just

The Internet Archive has been doing great work lately, between backing up arcade machines, to Winamp skins, and now this in addition to all the other cultural works they've backed up. I highly encourage donating if you have the extra c

Exactly. There are often times where I get a blank page and have to refresh. Combine that with the fact that CPU usage is way higher on the redesign for me, and after about a month or so of testing it I reverted to the old design. The fact

I love this! It's really fun, and will be really useful for when I'm making something and can't find a specific color.

This outage lasted quite long. I hope we get a postmortem from Reddit as to why the site went down.

Damn. I knew this was coming but it still hurts. He was one of the most respectable, honest, and hardworking people in this industry. His death is a massive loss. I hope he rests in peace.

Yeah, that's what I want to know too. I'd rather not my purchase data be shared with advertisers.

Discord is pretty alright. It has most of the features that I want (Video calling, search, server administration, etc) and the "gaming" features are pretty easy to ignore.

Somebody on GitHub made a epub version, which you can find here: https://github.com/pettarin/fsfs3 In the releases tab you can find a download for a zip file containing both epub and mobi files.

Signal is easier to use. I use it primarily as a SMS client but when I'm talking to someone who is also using Signal the conversation automatically becomes way more secure.

I'm a happy user of Bitwarden, but until it undergoes a formal security audit I'd probably recommend Lastpass or 1Password (assuming "non-technical people" means friends/family)
