Just make the button work on the 3rd click, and count the other 2 as ad clicks.

I agree, but the CIA is quite out of line, quite a lot of times. Specifically in its current iteration, I do not see the agency being high up in the absolute requirement for the capacity to govern.

We all hate adverts, some of us don't like or can't pay. Those who pay, have access to a few publications they enjoy. It would be absurd to pay for all the publications, all the streaming services, but we don't want monopolies either. What could be a solution for this madness?

How much is a foreign intelligence service tied to nation's capacity to govern?

I assure you, dealing with the staff at the bank is different ball game altogether.

I had to write 3 different "letters" (paper pen) to have a phone number typo (on their part) corrected.

User facing tech and marketing practices at banks are the worst. Every Indian bank login form I've ever had to use is

- hostile to password managers.

- You cannot copy paste passwords.

- Client side password hashing

- Stupid requirements like the password cannot have more than 15 characters and even have a whitelist of character sets! (Looking at you HDFC)

- And of course, run of the mill spam

They are all stuck in the early 2000s.

Not put absolute profit over principles? Or at least don't advertise they do?

All those are Kendrick Lamar tracks. Highly recommend if you're into hip hop.

I remember using this back in the day, cool stuff!

I've always used Firefox. I've long converted my friends and loved ones into Firefox users, going in depth about the pros of using a browser that does not exist solely to profit off their data and impose their rules onto a free internet (somewhat) that I grew up on and live off, to this day.

Dev teams find it easier to slap "Use Chrome for best experience" or the more annoying "Your browser is not supported" on web applications instead of maintaining compatibility for another browser, but can you blame them?

I've thought long and hard about the "free" internet. The free internet, the trove of knowledge, the bleeding edge of what technology has to offer, one of the more important places where humanity advances. Also perhaps regresses in the veil of psuedo anonymity.

Pixels, cookies, beacons, benign sounding words all used to profile and map everything about you on this internet. To sell you more ads, to keep the % increase over past quarter at acceptable rates.

This rant is exaggerated, inaccurate and perhaps emotional coming from me. The internet is something I hold dear, my privacy is something I hold dear. From time to time I see myself type "dat" and FF autocompletes it to "data.firefox.com", say a little "oh well" to myself and click the return key. I click on the yellow button at the bottom of the page and stare at the MAU chart for a good few seconds before Ctrl+W and going back to whatever I was doing. Small up spikes made me happy, but the downward trend does not make me sad, since I have accepted it. Maybe somebody crazy and determined will fork the project, if it comes to that, but maintaining a browser is a tall ordeal and maintaining is not enough.

Baker at some point after laying off hundreds of Mozilla employees said something along the lines of "I could be making more elsewhere, so this little pay increase to myself is no biggie" (not her words at all, but this is what she meant).

I have waited so long for this news. A long, long, time. Maybe now, FF can ship security patches as fast as Chrome does, maybe now the small upward spikes in the MAU chart won't be so small anymore, maybe now Mozilla will stop making Pocket a thing, maybe now the days of free internet are extended a little more.

Bean counter moment.

So, yes ~$2-3/user/month. The 3p app has to charge the user and then pay reddit. In the case of Apollo, it is to the tune of $20M a year. Apollo (the app) is developed by 1 person and so are most other 3p apps. Suddenly (with months notice) they are going to be billed millions.

Even after the user pays to use a 3p app, they cannot access any NSFW content through it.

This isn't a case of opportunity cost or lost revenue, reddit simply wants 3p apps gone.

I mean, sure, yeah, we're not North Korea yet. And is that the bar we are setting for the "World's largest democracy?"

> The pogrom is an internal matter. A hitjob is external interference.

I find myself continually dumbfounded by the kind of reasoning and justifications, the supporters BJP come up with. Thousands of people killed and in many cases, even worse. Terming it an "internal matter" is being cruel beyond my comprehension.

> Btw, I watched the documentary and it actually covers the Supreme court judgement, so the responding accounts are actually spreading misinformation.

So you're implying the Supreme Court has a "Ministry of Truth" type of thing going on? How many judges transferred, maligned and were even killed for clean chits? Institutions ceased being autonomous and ethical a long time ago in India.

A hitjob is a hitjob, but a pogrom is not a pogrom?

Is it like a custom setup on a linode vps? Or does linode offer some kind of managed solution? I’ve always wanted to run my own email setup but then, just seems like too much hassle. How is it going for you?

This was my attempt at writing a simple polymorphic engine to generate obfuscated shellcode. It is very simple, doesn't actually do any true evasion by current AV standards.

Many have tried Signal in the past few months here in India because of WhatsApp's privacy policy changes which managed to create quite a buzz. None of my friends stuck around though. Everyone is back to WhatsApp.
