bugtodiffer··on Firefox tracks you with “privacy preserving” feature
> subsidize your browsing

Well, I do not have the option to pay for a privacy preserving browser, so I don't.

It's promising but like 10 years behind chromium

I'd not use Orion. They can barely build a working search engine, I don't trust them one bit to code a secure browser

"Privacy preserving Advertising" is bullshit. Just do context based ads.

Oh you're in a car subreddit? Maybe show car ads... instead of hyper personalized diet ads for my fat ass...

Advertising is not hard to do without collecting tons of data, it's just a little bit more expensive if you can't target that well. I don't care. Only they care about that.

Why do we need to regulate all this, I thought the market will do what customers want?

Couldn't I just publish a package? Then there's malware on the package manager wohooo

We are, but people want convenience.

Try to get a company built around Word to use another tech that doesn't requires running unsigned macros from emails...

You literally can't, they lough at you for saying things like "don't use Microsoft"

> How do you think people should get skilled up?

You didn't ask me but I can give you my answer: not on prod and with a lot of reviews!

Seems like a solid development cycle.

Junior tries something -> hit production

I do not see multiple issues with this.

Stop them ads please
bugtodiffer··on Beyond the Brew: The Medicinal Power of Hops
Cannabis suggests we evolved with it, see Endocannabinoid system or whatever it is called. However, I do believe it is random. Magic mushrooms have been around for longer than we have, so it's probably just chance that they make us trip (which enabled lots of mental healing power).

I didn't even notice. I think I wish all websites would just use the full screen instead of leaving blank space (for ads)
bugtodiffer··on Chrome is entrenching third-party cookies that will mislead users
Hey Google, this site is the password change site for Google.

Is that enough rationale to add this to the list?

bugtodiffer··on Dawn of a new era in Search: Balancing innovation, competition, and public good
I wish Kagi would use the money to build a search engine.

But instead they use it to build a browser no one wants and an email service no one needs.

Yet their search website is still broken here and there...

I only saw people regretting staying for too long when they whined about the job for years before actually leaving

sadly bounties only barely work in a security setting and I've never seen it work for other things. Too much noise vs value.

> the commercial internet tries to raise the price of bandwidth somehow

This is already happening.

They wanted to make us pay more because we are using netflix and other streaming services so much.

Everything important like internet and streets should be built and maintained by the gov and not some random companies, f*ck Telekom.

bugtodiffer··on 84% want stronger online privacy laws, but Congress's corruption stalls progress
> Lobbyists are there to remind you of the costs and prevent from populism destroying civilizations

What? We have different views on lobbyism. I think it should be forbidden for companies to lobby
