I gave you examples. :) Europeans who wish to wear a hijab may be abused based on where they are; that simple! It is not illegal to cover your face in public in America, and even if it were, the Hijab covers hair; the burkha might cover a

Https encrypts the path and headers. How would they know which site you’re on? I doubt they’re going to RadicalBombPlans.com.

First of all, I have literally never heard a critique about the negatives of american free speech. Could you help me understand the negatives? Second, I do think americans are majorly better off than western europeans for free speech. Consi

Except if they invest a whole $0 in a letsencrypt cert or any service with one.... or have they persuaded the services to allow them to MITM their own citizens?

I did not expect to see “free speech” in there, but I most definitely compare US free speech laws favorably to any and all other countries.

My issue is not that they had the vulnerability, but that the vulberability allowed full access to social security numbers and it wasn’t even the “critical” database! You can take proactive efforts to minimize the risk of breaches; they app

Frankly you shouldn’t ever look at porn on a work machine, no matter how much they encourage you to think of it as your personal machine. It is only a liability.

To my understanding, firefox also has support for multiple profiles at that level, but it may be by app launch, not by window.

Yes, you can. The cookie settings are per-container (and there’s a surprising amount of customization per domain, though I wish it had decent wildcard support, it turns out to not be much of an issue).

Yea, it definitely continues to be an annoyance. I have some great bluetooth headphones, but if I forget them I can’t exactly pick up a cheap pair. The adapter works well but it’s easy to lose, especially if you want to use it in a car and

Well, I think the obvious way to solve this is simply to make it obvious the translation is occuring with a third party (who may do anything with the data). I think this is still fantastic technology even if it is limited to public conversa

I can’t tell if you’re joking with the app or not. If you’re good enough to meditate around the app, you don’t need any help from the app to start!

Living better is a relative term. Having access to cheap junk food and TVs does not pay medical bills, nor the debt that follows.

You’re only addressing half the comparison. Yes, the US has welfare, but it’s conditional and often insufficient.

Yea, I’m not sure why this was posted either. Russian bots aren’t the craziest proposition; they certainly don’t dislike Snowden’s PR.

I would definitely buy a crank cell phone if I were allowed to clone my sim (for emergencies).

I have committed myself twice, once for being suicidal and once for life-ruining anxiety. It did not help in the way I expected. You are essentially not allowed to express confidence in your own health because your caretakers will assume yo

I wonder if, in the mid term future, you could see e2e encryption over slack and other offerings if you added slack as a team member—granted, they’d be storing the messages plain text on the slack side, but it’d ease and encourage transitio

Right, but SDL at least provides either software blitting or gl context setup (ie doesn’t abstract hardware acceleration at all). Cairo is also software rendering. I’ll check out skia!

Err, this is the myth that keeps spreading mysteriously. There are absolutely massive differences between open source and free software. Why would you want to be open but not free unless you wanted to restrict the use of the code you “opene

How is the JSON integration and geometry primitives? I had no idea it was competitive with postgres.

Success does not imply awareness of why it happened, or in fact much of anything. I mean, it’s a joke that he never wanted the job to begin with, instead aiming at inflating his own ego. It’s not even clear he reads memos his own staff writ

It’s hard to see the value here of dynamic linking vs static linking, especially when it seems like a lot of the value is compile-time selection of implementations and lightweight utility code—not exactly a huge attack vector you’d want to

To take from javascript, this is a mix of underscore (utility) and, uhh, babel(?) for essentially polyfilling certain runtime features slated for future (hypothetical) approval.

I’d argue clippy’s issue wasn’t a tech problem, it was that it couldn’t do much to actually help with anything.
