Well, more than diet, anything that isn't technical in nature. Economics, (geo-)politics, biology (particularly humans), etc. There's a lot of that fallacy around here that being k…

There are a lot of things we can do, but that requires the EU, the US and China's neighbors to work together. It requires US to have a vision for countering China's growing sphere …

> This is totally the right move. I am a (very happy) user of Stadia. If you haven't tried it, you really should...it's an amazing piece of tech. I can find myself with 20-30 minut…

Have they tried Ritalin? I hear it helps quite a bit.

Primarily tabs losing their position, not maintaining their hierarchy, weird behaviour around moving tabs around, crashing and freezing. Also all-around bad performance. Maybe it's…

I haven't really seriously looked into Matrix before. I've briefly skimmed what I could find about it, but didn't see any simple way to get something running where I could easily o…

Does it matter? People care. People don't want to lose years worth of chat histories with friends, family and their significant other(s). That's just how it is. I'm not sure why it…

The backup issue makes Signal infeasible for me to suggest to family/friends as a serious alternative. It's just not up for discussion. People care about preserving their chat hist…

You mean Signal which was created by Moxie Marlinspike and other legit cryptogaphers and security researchers? Who rolled Telegram's crypto? No idea. Why should we trust them? No i…
