As much as I love IRC, it is fundamentally incompatible with the way people use IM these days. Even if you gloss over the lack of "modern" features, you're still going to have a very hard time with vanilla IRC on mobile where

It's amazing that technology is empowering these protestors, but I'm not sure a vulnerable group of people such as this should be leaving identifying information on these servers. - You cannot sign up for Telegram without your pho

That basically hits the nail on the head, but it's not the full extent of it. We have ["Jugaad" culture]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugaad ), where we actually take pride in doing things that would be

Users who care about privacy are, quite literally, the only demographic that cares about Firefox at this point. The numbers clearly say that. I'm not even remotely versed in how to run a business, but in what twisted universe does it m

I wouldn't mind doing homework that is related to what they need me to do on the job . Make me code. On a real computer. With a compiler. With an internet connection. On real problems, even if they're conventionally hard to solve

I'm tired of these "assessments". Solving contrived algorithm puzzles is not an indication of programming skills, which mostly require organizational skill. I don't know how this sort of thing became so pervasive, but as

Glad to see this under scrutiny. A lot of websites are eager to recommend any application that claims to be secure, and it is often the case that neither the author nor the audience is equipped to make that judgment. Hopefully we'll se

Orkut was our go-to social network as teens, before we all moved to Facebook in 2009. I'm was going to join this out of sheer nostalgia, but it appears to be lacking a web app. I'm curious as to why they went with ONLY native Andr

I'm genuinely curious as to what makes LinkedIn worth that much. On the surface it just looks like Microsoft is trying to commit suicide. As as aside, how many startups in Silicon Valley are rushing to up their spam game in the wake

I know, right? They've been working on their v3 release for centuries now, but it looks like it's another few centuries away. It's a shame, because it's a really good client. I just wish development was faster.

As someone who has been using OTR/DuckDuckGo as my primary chat server since early 2014, I would recommend against it. When it goes down, it goes down for multiple days, even a week. Prolonged outages have happened twice or thrice in t

I wonder if there's going to be any noise over this outside the developer community. There was when Twitter pulled this nonsense, but their third party clients had massive followings. I, personally, have never heard of a third party In

I've been following OwnCloud for years, and the one thing that has kept me from using it is the lack of delta sync. This fork has piqued my curiosity again. Is delta sync going to be a priority for NextCloud?

Does this work on localhost? Apart from the increased privacy, it sounds like this would also improve offline web development. I could be offline, and still have all the CDNJS libraries on the page load correctly.
