As other have said, doxing is even worse! If they had searched for her privately, and didn't find her, bummer. But to step up the hunt and dox someone publicly is a totally different story. Disgusting what organisations are capable of, and what is being casually supported by the public!

I don't want root on my Phone, I want a stable and consistent UX. Maybe even efficient and simple. You can give me root if you gift the device to me, I'll accept that. But I am totally done with "our users are our beta testers". Even switched to upgrading iOS only at .3 minor releases. It is so fucking tiiring.

This sounds like borderline stalking. I am not a woman, but I have my experience with getting treated unfairly/getting patronized. And I never felt like I wanted to give a bad actor a second chance to talk down to me, even if they pretend to have good intentions. If you fucked someone over, you dont have the right to run after them. Leave them alone, stop confronting them over and over again with your own stupidity.

Becuase they are afraid to figure out the truth. It might not fit the propaganda narrative.

Its an (political) echo chamber, and will ultimately contribute to the division of people.

Well, but personal websites and rss have lost, sadly. I agree with you that being mainstream is not the defining characteristic of a working system. OTOH, every "community" has a lower bound when it comes to involvement. At some point, things just die out, like FidoNet or CB radio.

Wha? Well, there are blind people who barely know how to use their cane, but... Let me explain.

Manfred Spitzer once wrote that he thinks there are two groups of people on this planet who really have good audio location capabilities. Blind people and conductors. Conductors because they need to be able to listen to a particular performer, to isolate them from the rest of the orchester. And blind people, because we use the ear to navigate the world.

Now, I actually use everything around me as a source of sound. Tapping with the cane is one of them. However, if I want to "scan" my environment, I usually make a clicking noise with my tongue.

But those are the a small part of the game. The rest of the noises I use come from outside. Just a small example, before I loose myself in thsi comment: I can hear poles and trees on the sidewalk. Not because they emit so much sound, but because they eat it up. If a car drives behind the pole along the street, I can actually hear the point where the external sound doesn't reach me, infering that there must be a pole or a tree. Echo location is not always about what you send. Its m6ore about you learning how the sound waves around you behave. Sometimes, but this is getting borderline esoteric, I can hear the materials involved. Walking towards a wooden wall sounds destinctly different from walking towards a concrete wall...

Why is it that the first thing I try tends to uncover shortcomings?

typedef uint64_t qbb_t __attribute__((vector_size(sizeof(uint64_t) * 4)))

Syntax error

OK, its an extension, meh.

The problem are incentives. There are monetary incentives to create whatever technology you can, because you can, and thats the way you earn money. There is zero incentive to consider how your technology might be abused.
