I saw this on my twitter and was kind of surprised that this was patented and had an expensive API to go with it. I don't see why this couldn't be on-device processing. Why utilize…

I remember someone telling me one time that they were really excited that Twitter, Discord, etc. were making moves to support the blockchain because it meant they believed in a dec…

+1 to Vivaldi. I use tiled tabs all the time.

Note that I have not even mentioned France. Protonmail was forced by Swiss courts, period. Protonmail will not risk themselves for you. No client of Protonmail is worth fighting th…

I agree that Protonmail has been dishonest in their marketing, but marketing =/= policies. If you're storing any kind of information you'd rather keep private on a server you do no…

This is exactly what baffled me about people saying "I'm cancelling my PM subscription" as if they didn't make this abundantly clear. In their transparency report, they state very …

Something else that has happened since the mid 2000's is that the internet isn't a separate, mysterious black box anymore. The internet is now merging with real life and all the ne…

I would say Linux works well for...70% of end user computing. Browsing the web, watching videos, reading the news, and playing low-intensity games. The newer your PC is or the more…

I'm not saying that in regards to voter fraud, but in the big-picture sense of how elections are run as opposed to other countries.

Apple's notification management has to be the worst I've ever seen. For a company that has made some serious advances in UI/UX and is single-handedly responsible for Android not be…

Is there a conversation that needs to be had around the security of voting machines? Yes. Is America's electoral system fundamentally flawed? Yes. Should election machines be audit…

It's the perfect crime, how will they ever report it?

I shriveled up a little bit when I saw that electronic machines were becoming commonplace for voting. The more complicated you make a machine, the more it can be manipulated and th…

Arthur was always my favorite as a kid. What kept me loving it as an adult is how well every episode holds up and how brilliant and absurd the humor could be. In one episode, a kid…

When the height of lockdown and the gas shortage in the US showed more people hoarding and scalping goods than trying to self-regulate and ration, I couldn't help but wonder what i…

I knew a girl in school who had one of these. It was a neat little gadget at a cheap cost, but was criticized for not solving more pressing issues (water, schools) and there was no…

I'd like to use OSM for everything, and while their road mapping is second to none, their POI mapping is lacking and there are no good navigation apps that use OSM data. The best o…

If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Your logic is living proof that we still don't take the very real harm 4chan can do seriously. We laughed at "POOL'S CLOSED" and che…

I think it's a fair assessment to say that Google does not have a strategy. They're at their best when they were making something that hadn't been made before. Gmail, Google Maps, …

Honestly? I think LibraryThing's UI is the best I've used when it comes to sites of that type. I think the only thing that's a little unclear is adding books, but for managing book…

Made an account just to comment: Goodreads seems to be way more interested in selling books than recommending books, and they want to sell books from Amazon primarily, then other m…
