Is the blocking on DNS, port, pattern matching URLs? If DNS perhaps using an encrypted DNS could work.

Apparently it’s no longer mitigation, now adaptation. The desire to avoid nihilism at point is tough. I’m pushing 40 and I hope I get 25 more years, family kids are in for it.:(

I’m not flying anymore. Between the GHG annual personal emissions and the stunning staggering massively deadly failures of rushed Boeing product launches. Finally I will note the w…

Ok - everyone should feel free to publish as they prefer. On the other hand lashing out at critics is unproductive.

If you use Safari try 'Reader View'. It is so nice cutting out the clutter and making the formatting suitable for easier reading.

There is an emerging argument that vaping is less health damaging than smoking and it likely is, however, Nicotine addiction is key to the business model and that will not change.

How does this pass the straight face test. The proposition is insane, I hope I wake up and this is all a fever dream.

Yes! I’ve never used FB, and refuse to, as a result I miss all sorts of notification of things occurring because everyone seems to assume everyone does use it. Drives me nuts!

Sorry folks give up the ghost nuclear was dead at least 3 decades ago. Solar and wind are the future. We don’t have a decade to build a new nuclear plant, in that plan we’d need a …

I’d wager yes firmly, a privacy invasive technology does not just fall from the sky. Salespeople are pimping it hard, and the world incrementally becomes more like a dystopian hell…

if they do it all on device and do not transmit out, then the privacy concern seems squelched. On retail tracking yeah it's messed, practically no one knows their movements are tra…

the flawed product was rushed to market to "beat" Airbus there, but hey it's only ~350 people killed, and weeks of delay to ground the fleet. Sorry Boeing, you messed up hard. Pers…

Hehe insane, you get better performance in a virtualized environment! I understand why that could be but virtualization overhead exceeding native performance is bonkers.

Check out ‘World Without Us’ by John Wiesman. A fascinating thought experiment wherein we all suddenly ‘beam up’ and Earth left to go on evolving.

The company knew the physical ramifications from at least the 1970s, suppressed that knowledge, and now we are locked into decades their product manifested for many decades. Extrac…

The light green may have an origin in submarine vehicle internal paint model, chills captive people.

If I interpreted this argument correctly - regulation is bad, costs money. How much is a human life worth? Clear to me is that Boeing did that sick math and rolled the dice and F’d…

It appears the 737 Max is a total failure. Pushed through by Boing to outpace Airbus, from physical design, attitude sensors, re-certification bypass imperative, and flight control…

Drive less, and use public transit more, a relatively modest proposal. Vote out the blatantly vote pandering politicians pushing fossil fuels. Endorse those pushing solar and wind,…

Neat! I was also unaware of this.

So AFAIK Electron is built on V8 JS engine. Last I looked that has a JIT compiler, then I’d expect performance to increase as that ‘warms up’

Oh dear this ancient repeated never ending debate. Nuclear lost - in cost, in failure modes, in lack of private funding, in plant build time, in risk of enrichment systems... dead …

Not quite the same, but reminded me of reversible debugging: https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html

You might ask if FB organization is a parasitic operation sucking down personal data any way they can and selling it to who?. Who knows who else. You know part of the answer. Watch…
