tdkl··on Building, and Losing, a Career on Facebook
E2E encrypted chats aren't by default. But they did achieve what they planned - you thought they were because you saw it mentioned sometime somewhere, but didn't look into the fine details. When reading headlines, a person might memorize "facebook encrypted chats available", but the devil is always in the details.
tdkl··on YouTube removes hundreds of the best climate science videos from the Internet
One opinion is on top of the comment thread, while the other got downvoted.
tdkl··on Australian cable provider suing people who streamed event via Facebook
I expressed myself badly, your term was correct, breaking TOS, not breaking the law (for now, hope never lol).

In the worst case he would get banned from using Facebook, which nowadays can have can be negative based on the capacity user is engaged with it (using it as an online identity manager for logins, social consequences etc.).

tdkl··on You can build a laptop out of open source components if you want a bad laptop
Insulting how ? First metrics you mentioned are measurable, 2nd base on philosophy.

I can try to convince a rock to split itself with any attitude I believe in, but I'll still be more effective with a hammer.

> Rebroadcasting copyrighted event + Facebook live = ?

I'll add that this is breaking the law twice, once with the origin and second with Facebook as violation of their service.

Otherwise, the parent doesn't make any sense in his ramblings.

tdkl··on Dutch security chief says Russia is trying to hack government websites
You forgot to mention China and Iran, but I understand click bait is important nowadays.
tdkl··on Australian cable provider suing people who streamed event via Facebook
Lets not get stupid now.

It's all based on intent. His was fine, until he forgot that the medium used was putting him in the violation in the first place, but the cherry on top was not limiting the access to the people the stream was meant for.

Well this is what you get, when idiots get access to the web.
tdkl··on Google is finally making web apps first-class citizens on Android
Can't wait to have all kinds of malware sites try to put shortcuts to my home screen.
tdkl··on What should you think about when using Facebook?
You're addicted, you just don't know it yet.
tdkl··on The woes of Windows 10
>On Linux you just open your terminal and execute a single command.

Lmao, yes speculating that it includes that certain software package or that it's the latest version.

That burden is on the developer (if there's no maintainer) which has to waste time packaging same thing for X distros. Windows developer uploads the .exe to the web and he's done.

tdkl··on The woes of Windows 10
>The package management is still a mess. If you mean for system updates I'd agree, but software package management is a shit show on Linux and it shows why less people bother writing software with & why Electron is popular there.

What's more easier then clicking an .exe ?

tdkl··on The woes of Windows 10
Right click on the tile and "Remove". There's also a setting which blocks reinstalling those preloaded crap "apps" with updates. O&O Shutup 10 can help with that.
tdkl··on The woes of Windows 10
5400 RPM HDD ? Also what's the amount of pre-installed crapware running in the background ? Because these don't have anything to do with Windows.

I think Windows 10 can be a really nice OS, considering MS would stop with the telemetry/ads BS and make it more accessible to opt out. Until then O&O Shutup 10 tool is indispensible in that matter.

tdkl··on Fearful of Hacking, Dutch Will Count Ballots by Hand
That just speaks about the misinformation media machine nowadays.

The "hacking of election" is the same thing as having a 1 year media smear campaign between candidates that occurs before the USA elections.

tdkl··on Computer Science Education
Yes, we live in a time where minorities tyrannize the rest.
tdkl··on Welcome, ACLU
One of them isn't a hypocrite though.
tdkl··on Welcome, ACLU
You might want to ask Obama why he left them out in 2011.

But considering the existing bullshit rollercoaster, you ask why MORE countries weren't banned ?

This video presents all points of hypocrisy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNu4xU9qOEM

tdkl··on Facebook challenges email for control of your online identity
That's why you buy a domain.

Although you can argue this is still a service, it's way better then Facebook.

Also multiple personas online is a feature. Unless in rare cases, this doesn't replicate in real life.

tdkl··on Ask HN: YC please talk about Immigration Order
Point out an American politician who doesn't do business / takes donations from the Saudis. I'm waiting.
tdkl··on Toy Channels on YouTube are Ruining Society
Well it's easiest to addict them when they're young and clueless.
tdkl··on Dutch secret service tries to recruit Tor-admin
Opening borders then putting everyone including your own citizens who pay you on surveillance isn't patriotic.
tdkl··on Google has banned 200 publishers since it passed a new policy against fake news
You mean after their "homie" lost.

tdkl··on How to Deal with Populism
They're also irresponsible and blame others (Russian hackers).

Like children who grew up being sheltered, then came to college and saw protesting (blaming others) is the answer.

tdkl··on TheFacebook.com’s darker side (2004)
I'll rather browse WAP pages again compared to modern "mobile optimized" sites. Huge fonts, huge pictures (sadly this trend came back to desktop, what's information density again), sticky toolbars with retarded social icons, ads that make a multicore mobile device with several GB of RAM to hiccup, etc. Desktop view was fine.
tdkl··on TheFacebook.com’s darker side (2004)
I'll just comment on the stanforddaily website how clean it looked and loaded fast even without any crap like AMP. Just compare it to the current site.
tdkl··on Facebook isn't necessary
We already had websites+rss, which actually does the same result, but isn't inside a Facebooks wet dream of being "The Internet".
tdkl··on Google AMP Is Not a Good Thing
Some call it "SEO optimization" I call it extortion because they'll get better ranks and a "carousell".
tdkl··on Google AMP Is Not a Good Thing
The company who is selling you the B+ package (ads, tracking) now reinvented A to leave the same + "features" intact.
tdkl··on [dead]
Lets also not forget "Caused millions of civilians to flee the middle East and destabilize the EU".
