> It is better to try to buy domains of local companies in your area that went out of business. These are much stronger. In your opinion, is this ethical?

I enjoyed this: > My passion is making Free Software because it seems to be the software that lasts, the software that turns out to matter in the end.

Subpixels of modern high resolution screens are below what a normal eye can resolve, but that really isn’t necessary to perceive apparent shades of color. You get the same experience even with a very …

No, I’m saying it’s the same type of illusion. Small areas of color blend together and look like a single color to our eyes. (CMYK printing of course works on the same principle)

You could even say that actually , the balls aren’t brown. They are made up of pure red, green and blue subpixels on your screen. It’s really not a particularly interesting illusion.

That’s where the comparison to environmental protection is so powerful. For the longest time, if you would say “We lose something by exploiting natural resources”, people would have just pointed out t…

You seem to think an institution the size of Apple is able to turn on a dime and change their entire modus operandi. That is some kind of supervillain logic, and I don’t think it’s true at all of real…

Is this question a trap? Isn't it rather obvious that Apple, a company that has never really had a business model built on surveillence, is less offensive than Google in this regard?

Since the article is down, maybe change the URL to the page it describes? http://www.africavernaculararchitecture.com …

Doesn’t work on iPhone Safari for me, I get the same translucent gray overlay regardless of where I tap.

Arguably this means that Google is breaking point 11 of their own AMP Cache Guidelines [1]. If I ran any AMP pages, I would be quite upset. 1: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtm…

Not unreasonable, but then they would probably A/B test it rather than just break it for everyone. Although I guess they might be A/B testing and I’m just in the same group as OP.

> sharing actual business logic through libraries is often a bad idea (which is unintuitive to most). Seems unintuitive to me too, would be curious to hear if you have more to say about it!

GDPR deals with processing of personal data, not just collection or canonical records of it. If personal data passes through a system, it’s probably covered by GDPR.

I’ve been enjoying this blog for years. It has an amazing web 1.0 spirit and always great content. Very sad to hear these news.

I’ve built a few sites with Gatsby and Netlify, so I might qualify as having “the knowledge to do everything else”. Haven’t tried the tool, but I can’t imagine that I would get the end result of the G…

Related: please never use red to give me feedback on what I typed into your form. It’s not dangerous if I have skipped filling out a field. And it’s awkward because it’s not clear at what point you sh…

From what I understand, it doesn’t matter that it is publicly accessible content, you still need consent from each individual that is a GDPR data subject before you process their personal information.…

You might want to look into how to make your website GDPR compliant. I don’t think you can create a database over random EU citizens’ interests, mood and activities without permission. (Edited)

Tiny suggestion: GIFs showing someone enter “a”, “b”, and “c” as their tasks tell me that this is more about the system and tech than what it’s like to use it to handle tasks in a real situation. Sure…

What about whataboutism? It’s not the least of my problems. A to me unknown but large number of companies try to track as much as possible of what I do online, and buy and sell this intensely person…

I’m not against targeted advertisement, I’m against being spied on. You can target advertisement by picking which media you advertise in.

Thank you for taking the fight and making a scene! I tell myself that I will send Facebook my GDPR letter one day, but just thinking about the time and brainpower I’d have to spend to understand exact…

The makeup and haircut applied by the filter are social constructs, though.
