It does seem to grind poor or poor-adjacent people faster and more finely still.

Weren't some of these widespread conventions in some sense strategically designed or implemented in such a way as to ensure backdoors and/or contrived vulnerabillities? Something, something …

Is it a fair conjecture that in some sense there's an issue with cryptographer's trying to push the field in terms of the efficacy and robustness of encryption forward while "the govern…

Can someone chime in with how quantum computers effectively at least double the output of traditional "classical" computers? I legitimately don't understand why its not easier and in so…

Kids THESE dayz. SMH —Chaucer, definitely

Who do you think is truly at the top of these efforts? Like, what is the motivation? How is there not more money to be made on a purely quantitative basis from regular clearnet dwellers?

[comment eliminated]

Didn't mean to throw shade at the more reasonable among your ilk ;) You might find comfort in the fact that karma always comes around eventually and more money blatantly does not equal more happi…

I might just move a few things to Resilio Sync and/or Cryptomator where possible, altho I wonder if you feel similarly about such quasi-replacements. I definitely need something that preserves so…

I wonder if the dot above 'i's and 'j's are in some sense a diacritic or like "1/2 of one"

I mean, if they didn't have such political and economic sway, I'd be fine with it. One would hope meritocracy and fundamental economics as they relate to competency would apply but its just …

Decision tree is an astute algorithm for the problem of knowing which algorithm to use.

Kids discover the darndest hacks

Their defaults can be a tad fucked up straight outta the box

Awful lotta work they've done to create a platform independant of Google and Bing (particularly with images), it would be a real shame for them if some silly privacy snafu turned them into LastPa…

Interesting point, but wouldn't Brave be more mindful of damaging their reputation for privacy which is basically (in combination with their VPN service) their entire value prop? Like Google is n…

Ya same but it can't be "as bad", right? I realize the naïvete and irony inherent to that speculation but please entertain and edify me

Installed ;)

Hopefully you can "Brave", "Kagi", and/or "DuckDuckGo" them

That reaction when Chinese devices are "freer" than Western ones. Shameful!

Same with not allowing fine-grain control of what apps are allowed to use your WiFi/connect to the internet. I don't give a shit that an app feels entitled to it, its my internet bill and it…

Like Fluid, kinda

Is it like Grid or whatever?

Maybe they need an RSS feed or something

No way?! I stand corrected but also that is hilarious. In fact, I think I have used it like once with regard to the physical basis through which qubits actually reify computation but I don't even…

That's a delightfully "extra" word lol. I can't ever see myself using it unironically or outside of some goofy language game or something. Same way I feel about "reify", …

I love that spelling for some reason. Can't put my finger on why

That's cute, it should read" "opt"-"out" "

Yas! Paper trails and more paper trails. Follow the money and handoffs

Mostly this is correct but it happens. There are always outliers and edge cases and its good for the system to have them so that they can be mitigated by iteratively improving the laws based on how th…
