    Won't your device holding the passkey still take passcodes to unlock itself?

    How does Opera have 3-4x the market share of Firefox? Is it installed by default anywhere?

    As an alternative, you can get a stable release with about:config by installing Firefox (or Mull) from F-Droid.

    Not being indexed by search engines is a fatal flaw in my opinion. There might be some interesting discussions taking place on Mastodon, but I would have no way of knowing.

    Have you tried deleting your profile and starting fresh? Something is clearly messed up. Launching takes a fraction of a second for me on NixOS with a years-old profile.

    Have you ever visited Vietnam? The people I've met there are highly motivated to build successful businesses, even more so than in many western countries.

    Racism definitely is based on race, hence the name. Maybe you're referring to some other kind of out-group bias based on tribal or familial status?

    Because perceived race is a big factor in how most people treat strangers, so having that information would likely be useful in identifying unfair bias in enforcement.

    I think it'd be impossible to anonymize data in such a way that it's still useful but not easily identifiable with public or partial private information.

    I could not disagree more strongly. Giving large corporations (and governments effectively) the power to control my access to 3rd party resources is totally unacceptable.

    That's a depressing viewpoint. The text chat version of Omegle could have easily been hosted on a single server with some kind of automated spam protection. Donations could have mo…

    It is possible (and likely quite common) for a layman to only have partial knowledge of how SARs work.

    One could argue that cryptocurrencies solve these issues (while creating some of their own).

    Are things like Operation Chokepoint [1] still a conspiracy theory? It appears to me like a sophisticated and coordinated operation, not the accidental result of bureaucracy. [1] h…

    Is it by accident though? Aren't US regulators intentionally (but quietly) pressuring financial institutions to do the enforcement of policies that they know wouldn't stand up to p…

    Why are you so stuck on whether the utility is "lawful"? Is the law really your barometer of what is valuable and just?

    The answer depends on how your specific state defines tax residency (for example California is notoriously difficult to escape). Generally the rules will be something like you rema…

    This depends highly on the country. Cash doesn't work so great in most of the EU anymore. In Spain and Greece for example, it's illegal to buy anything with more than 500 euro cash…
