I know, that's exactly the point I'm trying to make. Yesterday I drank a beer out in public - a perfectly legal and culturally/morally acceptable thing to do here in The Netherland…

So it is doxxing if the doxxed committed wrongdoings from the perspective of... the doxxer? Ideals, morality, alignment, goals and purpose are and have always been a static constan…

Oh you flatterer! My top level comment was not a complaint at all, but rather a heads-up regarding the potentially unexpected or often misunderstood effects of applying these font …

Just found this[0] implementation roadmap on Mozilla's wiki, recently updated too! At least it's actively being worked on. Not going to lie, this makes me happy. [0]: https://wiki.…

I think it's highly disingenuous of you to claim that the regulators in question are acting without any plan or purpose even if those might not be immediately clear. "If you don't …

Good point, I did conveniently gloss over that one didn't I! A switch to break the physical wire connection is about the only thing I can come up with out of hand right now. I beli…
