Such great advice, had never thought of that. Thanks!

I mean, "my card information being stolen" is literally only an issue because credit card companies won't force US retailers to accept proper chip and pin. It just is not an issue …

What the hell? I get downvoted for linking an authoritative answer to the question I was asked? I'm so god damn sick of participating here in good faith and getting wordlessly crap…

It's almost like my own comment said I wasn't making excuses and pointed out it was a preview release. I don't know why I bother. Also, I don't understand what Google being in trou…

How does this argument come up every time? If I can't have absolute privacy, I should just give up? The same way I'd love to give up every last bit of dependence on Google, I'd lov…

Please understand I'm not excusing anything, it's horrendous it took this long to have user controls. That having been said, in the Android Q preview, Android occasionally lets me …

I thought Radicle was cool too, but as I understand it (in its current state), it has a much "larger" SPOF in that changes can only be submitted when the single authoritative repo …

`nix-env` can be coerced into pinning a package at a specific revision, effectively ignoring channel updates. However, yes, I do all of my nixos package management in my system con…

And yet, I would (will?) likely be derided if I complained about every forced show of heterosexuality, in virtually every piece of media produced in the last many decades. I immedi…

I'm curious to understand what you're describing. Can you give an example of a Netflix show, the season and political trope, and how it detracted from the show's quality? And I'm d…

There was a time where every login was followed by auto-playing trailers for a show about suicide, during a time that I really just didn't need to be seeing that. With no way to pr…

See also: SAP's Gardener. Their website reminds me of a spam landing page more than a valuable, robust project, so I'll link an official Kubernetes blog post about it: https://kube…

My understanding is that bad/poor gateways are penalized. In my own experience, I've only ever needed to change circuits manually once (but I'm primarily using Tor to NAT punch to …

While I said less than 30 seconds, it really was about 10 seconds but I didn't want to sound like I was exaggerating. And that was of course including switching apps, the initial T…

Why is this downvoted? It took less than 30 seconds to fire up Orbot, connect, open YouTube and start streaming a video without any issue or fuss. Sometimes when people talk about …
