It's time to bring fanny packs back, but please don't turn them into power banks.

> So what company that once it gets into a position to bully won’t? All of them will. All of them need to be regulated better instead of just getting a slap on the wrist. Just don'…

Not being in a position to bully everyone else really improved their attitude. Microsoft is my friend now! They wouldn't abuse us if they were on the top again, right? ------------…

I can't find the article but I remember reading how Google is closing the platform more and more. That's the reason why many people are forced to use MicroG since things are routed…

I would be even more worried about DNS/domain hijacking if the HN stories I hear are true. Not only technical issues but social engineering of the domain ownership. Whatever you do…

It's just EEE, they'll slowly introduce better features (with a colossal marketing budget) and after they gain the userbase back they'll close it down. Until I see a solution for t…

Some login servers that you go through, like Skype's, share the same IP address that many "anti-telemetry tools for Windows (10)" are blocking.

I see. For some reason it was updating the database but not the software itself. I had to dowload the installer again.

And MalwareBytes is still using 7zip 18.01

I think the network effect is too great to ignore. I would guess the number of potential contributors you get just by using GitHub, where many people have an account and know the w…

And it has to keep up with Gnome/GTK too. I heard it's not easy.

I don't know much about licenses: is Matrix and/or the protocol safe from Facebook, Google and co to pull the same thing again? Feels like EEE is inevitable when these companies al…
