>For more niche apps they ran promotions for students and independent developers giving away free phones etc. I remember they were giving Lumia 925's to computer engineering students here years ago if they made and uploaded an app.

How do you catch criminals like these (in this article) if you have strong anonimity?
15.
by marindez 9y ago
That's one way to put it. Another way is: there are two options. Either we have strong anonimity on the Internet, or the authorities have the power to catch criminals. Which one do you think would win in a vote?

As someone who hasn't used CentOS much, when I've had to use it I've found the package selection (packages/versions) to be lacking, requiring me to use one of the countless 3rd party repos that may or may not contain wha

I’ve heard this argument many times now and I still fail to see how we’re feeling sympathy for these people. Every time this conversation is brought up I see 0 solutions and people that very low-key suggest these people have to die because

I don't use Android. I don't understand why did Mozilla add Klar to the stores of those countries only.

by marindez 9y ago
Is it overly harsh to be pissed at a company that claims to herald privacy but then sends your data to a third party?

by marindez 9y ago
Klar is only available in those stores, but not worldwide.
