everyone here will forget we only have encryption today because openbsd was in Canada.

every usa based project had to quit shipping any cryptography code. but who cares about history. who cares you can only participate in some open source project today if you have an account with usa companies? nobody cares. screw the Iranian engineering student. and hope the usa doesn't outlaw encryption again.

it's about having you logged in for the day.

logged in user ad impression is 8 to 12 usd. anonymous user is .01cent per thousands.

most open source projects migrated to gh when they pledged it would always be free and open for open source...

now under new ownership they closed search and "pray they don't alter the terms further"

ps: also everyone here guessing wrong. Microsoft is an advertising company. requiring you profile for a service is self explanatory.

exactly. odd uh.

most firefox changes are actually to copy what chrome is doing.

like removing the search bar and forcing sending everything you type in the address bar to a search engine, having a logged in account in the browser, etc

support cost is inversely prop to quality (code and design)

knowing code quality levels at those companies and how they replace actual designers with PMs... it was their goal to have the most expensive support!

that's wrong, silly, and just bad advice.

installing crap on dev machines is as bad as recommending "curl -k ownme.wtf/install.sh | sudo bash"

just DOCUMENT things. if the requirements section is not trivial to satisfy, your dependencies suck or you suck at writing docs.

my point was that google does.

it tries to whitewash how they moneyize it with the "cohort" traffic...

he's an anthropologist, he doesn't make predictions or be a prophet.

only Foucault, and not even on his research, only when being a rock star and giving interviews.

anyway, deleuze there is showing how society already is. how the phone company used privilege information since the 1890 or so etc.

now whatsapp and and apple replaced the phone company in that data collection, and scales are larger, but it's still the same, just intensified.

anyway, you must read the foundations. on anthropology every banal looking word carries a whole complex concept that is not clearly shown in bibliography or other means. losing that context seriously harms the understanding.
