    Thank you for this link. That was incredibly interesting. I won't spoil the twist at the end, suffice to say that I now am hoping for something like that in a scifi movie.

    I feel like the biggest piece of this announcement was buried at the bottom of the article: > We're excited to announce Tobias Koppers, the author of webpack, has joined the Next.js team at Vercel.

    What this entire thought is missing is that you need to have a idea you're saying yes to. This is about prioritisation more than it's about focus.

    I'm not advocating for anything specific here. :) And frankly, I take your point and actually agree wholeheartedly. The status quo of data mining and tracking is terrible, and leads to exactly what you're talking about: people cha

    You make a good point. PDS solutions aim to get rid of "big data", and centralised data lakes that can be queried. It's not inherently a bad idea, but: > a nicely structured datadump is not particularly valuable if it&#x27

    Of course. :) I don't mean to patronise, and I hope you're not trolling, but I feel like you're missing the point a little. Using a "cloud" to store potentially sensitive documents or information is not comparable t

    I understand this, and there's an argument to be made about ethics here.. but, these companies do have a non-trivial amount of work to do to collate the data into profiles. There are also ways of making the attribution of this data to

    This goes against my internal logic about personal privacy. The solution to online privacy and data mining is not collecting it all in a central repository, it is not collecting it at all. Further, and I realise this will come off as alarmi

    Adding an 'f' in front of the word 'mining', just to make all the words in the list alliterate. :) It's pretty funny to me, and shows the author is just ever so slightly making fun of the compulsiveness and repetiti

    This feels like a scramble to recoup some lost trust, and I imagine that they're hoping the media storm passes and the exodus stops. I really just hope Signal can get up and running again soon.
