How about not using your servers for anything?

So we need a cloud service for "read receipts"? Interesting.

A vulnerability you know of and choose to ignore IS a backdoor. All the rest is fancy talk.

Maybe it was harsh, the idea is: You might write better when you don't know how many people read your articles. On the other hand, you might write better when you know. Plan accordingly :)

My two cents:
1. All local. Unless you don't want and a 100-200kb JS file is too much of a strain on your server bandwidth. Or are you serving 15Mb of JS files?
2. Screw Disqus. Screw Facebook Comments. Start thinking about your visitors, as someone said on another related thread, you are responsible for the tracking of your visitors by 3rd-party sites. Local comments or turn them off if you don't care about what others are saying. Don't save any information about the commenters except what they enter in the boxes. One-way hash the IPs if you need to compare for spam reasons.
3. If you need your ego stroked when you see you had xx visitors on your site, go ahead, use Google Analytics and screw us all. We're gonna block it anyway.

Google Analytics code is still there, so I guess, no ad networks were harmed during the making of this blog post.

All due respect for Leah Rowe and her work on libreboot, but this kind of drama only hurts the OpenSource (regardless of the name you like to use) initiative.
Stallman did the right thing I guess.

Exactly. The people that think Medium is innovative are the same people that think Farm From the Box (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13309610) is innovative. Some people just live in their pretty bubbles.

I wonder if you'd be this dismissive if an autonomous car kills your parents or children, and you'll still advocate "don't put anyone in jail".
Just wondering.

It's not a matter of GG being white or black (not racially), it's a matter of taking his opinions/writings with a bit of salt, but taking them nevertheless.
As much as Noahpinion is entitled to his opinion, so is GG.
