I saw this on my twitter and was kind of surprised that this was patented and had an expensive API to go with it. I don't see why this couldn't be on-device processing. Why utilize a cloud API for an accessibility feature?

I remember someone telling me one time that they were really excited that Twitter, Discord, etc. were making moves to support the blockchain because it meant they believed in a decentralized internet and were going to use their platforms to

Note that I have not even mentioned France. Protonmail was forced by Swiss courts, period. Protonmail will not risk themselves for you. No client of Protonmail is worth fighting the Swiss courts over. Protonmail bowed down to the laws of th

I agree that Protonmail has been dishonest in their marketing, but marketing =/= policies. If you're storing any kind of information you'd rather keep private on a server you do not control and not diving into the policies an

This is exactly what baffled me about people saying "I'm cancelling my PM subscription" as if they didn't make this abundantly clear. In their transparency report, they state very clearly that they "may also be obli

Something else that has happened since the mid 2000's is that the internet isn't a separate, mysterious black box anymore. The internet is now merging with real life and all the negative parts of it are the ones spreading like wil

I would say Linux works well for...70% of end user computing. Browsing the web, watching videos, reading the news, and playing low-intensity games. The newer your PC is or the more specialized work you have to do, gaming being a good exampl

Apple's notification management has to be the worst I've ever seen. For a company that has made some serious advances in UI/UX and is single-handedly responsible for Android not being a Blackberry clone, their notifications a

Is there a conversation that needs to be had around the security of voting machines? Yes. Is America's electoral system fundamentally flawed? Yes. Should election machines be audited and held to the highest possible standard of informa

It's the perfect crime, how will they ever report it?

I shriveled up a little bit when I saw that electronic machines were becoming commonplace for voting. The more complicated you make a machine, the more it can be manipulated and the less resistance it has to public trust erosion. All of tha

Arthur was always my favorite as a kid. What kept me loving it as an adult is how well every episode holds up and how brilliant and absurd the humor could be. In one episode, a kid's head falls out of the sky and compliments the lawn i

When the height of lockdown and the gas shortage in the US showed more people hoarding and scalping goods than trying to self-regulate and ration, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if people had to wartime ration in toda

I knew a girl in school who had one of these. It was a neat little gadget at a cheap cost, but was criticized for not solving more pressing issues (water, schools) and there was no training provided for teachers. The laptops also weren&#x27

I'd like to use OSM for everything, and while their road mapping is second to none, their POI mapping is lacking and there are no good navigation apps that use OSM data. The best one I've used is Magic Earth but there are some str

If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Your logic is living proof that we still don't take the very real harm 4chan can do seriously. We laughed at "POOL'S CLOSED" and cheered with Operation Payback because

I think it's a fair assessment to say that Google does not have a strategy. They're at their best when they were making something that hadn't been made before. Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Docs were/are in a league of

Honestly? I think LibraryThing's UI is the best I've used when it comes to sites of that type. I think the only thing that's a little unclear is adding books, but for managing books and their metadata, the interface is detail

Made an account just to comment: Goodreads seems to be way more interested in selling books than recommending books, and they want to sell books from Amazon primarily, then other major online retailers. I'll give points for includi
