On your Google, with your results, with your search history and thus in your specific filter bubble. Fuck, people, don't you get this already? There is no n-th result on Google. Do…

I seriously do not understand his problem. I don't like LotR either, but its cultural impact is huge and it does in no way devalue the gigantic literary work that Tolkien has creat…

Exactly.

Do yourself a favor and use a native client. Every single web client for IRC sucks. No exceptions .

I'm sorry to say this, but all issues you describe are instances of PEBKAC.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Why in all seven hells would you use a proprietary, hosted service which brings you zero advantages over a time-tested, open and simple network proto…

>1. People afraid of being tracked down and prosecuted because someone used their exit node for criminal behavior Again, Flash Proxy is not an exit node, it's a bridge. It merely h…

It's equally debatable whether it's okay to put stupid advertisements or tracking technology on your website - which have infinitely less positive benefits for humanity than Tor. A…

It makes me extremely sad - and somewhat angry - that a lot of people just associate Tor with CP and criminals. Tor enabled and helped carry out fucking revolutions. Hundreds, if n…

>a serious crime You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. Piracy is not a crime, much less a serious one. Murder, for example, is a serious crime. …

The bad thing about the "nothing to hide" camp usually isn't their opinion that they themselves have nothing to hide, but the fact that the majority of these people seem to want to…

Your examples only make a legal name important if you consider these things important. I don't, and they aren't. Part of why we need to get rid of the concept of a legal name is ex…

I always wonder during those discussions - what exactly is a "real" name supposed to be? I don't have "real" name. Rather, I have many chosen names, and a name my parents gave me. …

> no major wars That's demonstrably false. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_wars

I don't think you understand how science works.

If you saw it on twitter, why don't you ask this on twitter?

>I see that a programmer or artist is slightly different because the work the programmer or artist did can be duplicated. That's not only "slightly different", that's the crucial d…

There is a very important difference between "owning" information - which is impossible and any attempt to do so is morally reprehensible - and the "creator's right" of being named…

Except here in Germany, where the local fuckwads at the GEMA [1] made Youtube block the video because "they hadn't granted the necessary rights". For a fucking copyright-waived vid…

Our first, yes, but not our only. Otherwise, dolphins and whales might be extinct soon. There's nothing preventing you from supporting both, say, Amnesty International and Sea Shep…

Education shouldn't be about not doing drugs, but about not getting addicted to them. It's perfectly fine to occasionally take drugs (you know, like CH₃CH₂OH or C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, the form…

I do believe most new projects today would be better off with a combination of a high level language for the logic, like Python or Perl, and a low level language like C or maybe Go…
