In my view, if platforms like YouTube/Twitter/Facebook are going to exercise editorial control over the content they host, they should be held fully responsible for all of the content that isn't taken down. If these organiz

The sense of security that comes with keeping a gassed (or charged) vehicle in my driveway doesn't seem like it will go away any time soon. If a family member needs to go to the emergency room, or a natural disaster strikes, Uber isn&

If you’re like me, you switched your default browser over to Chrome years ago and never looked back. Why should I take browser advice from someone who doesn't pay attention? Especially someone who lauds the "simplicity" of

For me, reading and writing works , but I have major performance issues on /mnt/. `git status` for example is unreasonably slow on any directory under /mnt/. I tried to adapt to this by instead of writing to the Window

I think the problem with a total ban is just the sheer number of people with diagnoses. For example, I read recently that something like 6% of adults have ADHD (I don't have a source, correct me if that is way off). I personally woul

what a terrible change. i've spent the last week developing two firefox addons; now i regret that, because i'll never use a browser with embedded advertising.

by mmcru 11y ago
agreed. i try to explain to people that firefox is an open source program created by an organization that is trying to keep the web free, while chrome is created by one of the world's biggest advertising companies, but they don't

yup. personally i feel that being able to receive unfiltered, honest feedback on the internet is a feature, not a flaw.

you're right, i stand corrected. i should have said that i don't want to host my community with a single, likely profiteering entity.

right, perhaps i could use vbulletin or wordpress with another piece of software handling the decentralization and encryption parts, i didn't think that was built in, though.

i agree. recently i desired to create an online community for a small game that probably wouldn't have many users or posts. subreddits are fantastic for that type of thing, and i like the ease of use and PRAW, however, handing over al

wow, awesome response, thanks for the information. i actually bought two scoops of django for 1.5, only to read that they released an updated version about a week later! i'm not sure how out-of date the 1.5 version is, but i'm g

you're definitely right. unfortunately i've been busy with a move and learning angular, which was new to me, so i haven't had much new code. i plan on adding more this week. thanks for your advice =]
