Does this also share back DHT information like a "server"? I am not downloading torrents, but I always wished to have a daemon running on my servers to help the overall DHT networks health. Is there anything like this out there? A DHT server, that only collects, stores and gives back information?
You can be sure light bulbs no matter the type will never reach even 5% of what they could reach if research would focus on longevity instead of controlled failure.
Does it matter if they see our private messages when they hand all of the metadata (locations, usage patterns) to their own company Onavo to build extensive profiles? This for me is more of a concern than the message text itself.
I don’t think you can be in support of free speech and at the same time mix in your personal feelings. If you support free speech, then you have to accept trump supporters, people who disagree with gay marriage, abortion and so on as long as they chose their words wise enough to not offend anyone.
And yes, personally I also feel it’s a good decision by Twitter, but it’s also concerning what kind of power our platforms have.
Sounds interesting. Since when is TechCrunch redirecting their traffic via guce.advertising.com? My Pihole Setup Blocks this and I wont unblock it to support this kind of technique.
You seem to underestimate the level of productivity and willingness to bring the company forward, that comes from a good worker/business relationship. And a good relationship requires good management and trust from both sides.
I would try to explain that in more detail, but I feel like your opinion is already very much set in stone.
It seems like Google disabled excerpts to news sites in France back in September 2019 leaving the search results only with the headlines/titles of news pages. What the French do there sounds incredibly unfair and I am certainly not a fan of Google.
I once heard as a rule of thumb, that your base salary is quite low (somewhere in the area of an account manager). Usually you can assume to receive 10-15% from the yearly revenue you generate.
I mean imagine you have a bar and although you needed to close it due to covid19 you are still good financially. If all of a sudden someone else decided to ask your customers for money because you might need it, wouldn’t that be weird? I wonder why such things aren’t just opt-in. I mean it’s a really nice and good thing, but Yelp proactively activating it makes me believe they are bad people and have some kind of revenue/fee share model in place.
This is also what I observe. Those small scale companies might also work on very specific problems. However, at least for the internet brands I think it is true, that no large platform or service is actually coming from Europe.
How would you actually strip unneeded javascript anyways? Let's imagine I have a setup like the OP and want to optimize it. Is there something, that would be able to strip down all JS functions, that are not needed by the site?
Hey ludde, I highly appreciate your work. Especially because there are no real alternative clients at the moment for Windows. Also from knowing the first utorrent versions (not the crap from nowadays) I believe you are able to produce efficient code. However I would agree, that the spirit of Wireguard is to encourage to keep code simple and auditable. That's what Jason highlights in his motivation. Having a closed source implementation on top of that feels a bit wrong and I find it hard to support this.
Why not go the hybrid approach and make it open source so people can understand and audit it. You could still ask for donations or even provide a compiled version for some dollars like http://www.blink.sh/
Android tends to be more flexible with a few things. At least I see a lot of users using custom fonts and crazy widgets, that would never work out with the iOS sandbox concept. iOS users that i know often have an iPhone because it just works pretty well. They would use iMessage and iCloud and everything is fully integrated.
I am currently on iOS, but I have deep concerns how Apple is controlling the Apps on the App Store and in general is pushing its agenda to everyone’s phone just like that. When my 6s breaks I will very likely switch back to Android just for the reason of being able to root my device, sideload applications and control traffic via hosts file. Also, Wireshark and other fun stuff.
