Check out Blokada. It's a free open source app that does the same thing.

Or creating their own recommended design principals and then never implement them into their own flagship apps.

I think double spend coins as well, but don't quote me.
SpaceGorilla··on Compiz: Ubuntu Desktop's little known best friend
Oh man, the memories! I saw the title of this thread and thought "no ways its the same compiz".

Somewhere on YouTube is a pretty cringworthly video of me demoing beryl by drawing fire anarchy symbols

SpaceGorilla··on California Based P2P Trader Convicted of Illegal Money Transmission
Would her paying taxes make this less illegal? If she was dealing with gold/diamonds instead of bitcoin would it be legal?
SpaceGorilla··on What Businessweek got wrong about Apple
Iirc that's only in theory. I don't think there has been any precedent set. But I always see people say that a warrant canary is a false sense of security.
SpaceGorilla··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
Im always pleasantly surprised when I do a search expecting to have to click a site to get the answer, only to have ddg show me the results(a lot of time with a nice widget)
SpaceGorilla··on iOS 12 released
Yea, not sure what he's talking about. You can choose not to sign into Google and use the web browser to install either fdroid or Aurora as the app store. Pretty sure you need to sign into iTunes to use the apple app store and cannot install any ipa?'s.

SpaceGorilla··on Dropbear SSH, a lightweight alternative to OpenSSH
Huh, this sounds too good to be true.

Remote FDE? Yes please!

SpaceGorilla··on The Tox project
It's amazing the project has gotten this far. I honestly thought this post was going to be announcing the end of Tox.

The project started with a ton of momentum but never really got picked up in the mainstream. Iirc the founder and most of the core code came from one guy.

Not to mention there has been a ton of internal drama: iirc one of the devs stole a bunch of tox donation money to pay off part of his tuition. Then there was a split in the devs and one of the devs stole all the credentials for the website and they switched? Then there was the accusations that some of the devs where child molesters and where doxed.

They also his a brick wall at one point on mobile due to the protocol being very heavy on battery usage so for a while it was only realistic to use on the desktop.

I wish the project nothing but the best and hope they succeed, but I feel like they have reached a point where they have lost interest. I hope I'm wrong.

SpaceGorilla··on Announcing TypeScript 3.0
This seems like the most logical. Growing azure meant MS had to pivot. They finally embraced Linux/open source because without them azure would be doomed.

I really hope they continue doing so and it's not just an attempt to take over a market then lock it down how they want. What's the term? Embrace, take over, discontinue?

SpaceGorilla··on Banner ads on CNN.com contain keyloggers
Right? Imagine IRL advertising that would break into your house and put up advertising posters or plant listening devices.
