deith··on Open letter concerning Facebook's proposals to apply end-to-end encryption
Of course they do. Facebook does not implement E2E encryption by default and they have to respond to lawful requests.
deith··on Windows 10 Desktop: Physically building and photographing the logos (2015)
It's actually called "teal" in X11: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Color_name_cha... — It's also available on Windows 10 by default where it's called "Seafoam Teal"
deith··on Anti-vaxxers get around Instagram’s new hashtag controls
Why did Instagram ban hashtags like #vaccinescauseautism in the first place? I mean is there any other reason than to look good in the eyes of others?
deith··on How Smartphones Betray Democracy
>If we really want to influence politics, we need to get rid of this idea that voting is all that democracy means, and try to get people more organized, try to get many more people to participate directly in politics, get them to talk to their representatives regularly, get them to organize and pool resources together for important causes and so on.

You think people have time and energy for this? If they did they could already do it.

Usually you take the good with the bad and vote for the candidate that agrees with you on the issues that you care about the most, or the one that seems more reasonable overall.

Am I the only one that thinks this is just absolutely crazy and a complete waste of money and time?
deith··on ECMAScript proposal: String.prototype.replaceAll
And because regexes are regexes, so one might introduce bugs by not escaping what's meant to be escaped. (I didn't read the article so maybe he mentions this already)
deith··on U.S. Navy bans TikTok from government-issued mobile devices
Well... I guess I can understand they don't want to go around with two mobiles.
deith··on Nitter: Alternative Twitter Front-End

deith··on The modern web is becoming unusable
Nitter might not require Javascript to run, but it's everything but fast.

Every page that's not cached takes several seconds to generate. It's not much better to show a white page for seconds than it is to show a skeleton page and then load the data using javascript.

Also they have taken the decision to proxify all images/avatars through their own servers. Why? And if you do that, at least set appropriate cache headers! Every time I visit a page inside Nitter every single image loads again even if I've seen it already.
