I found https://www.orangewebsite.com/ - no idea if it's trustworthy or not, but they promise "Signing Up Anonymously", paying with BTC or Cash-per-mail, etc

I guess because you need a special DNS server for them with your default browser - onion is directly linked to TOR.

How does this work? Normally I download and install TTF files and install them on my computer. How are licensed fonts work? Is there some kind of proprietary installation?

Why is quickly hitting Esc working? It's perfectly working and that is strange.

I don't want my terminal tools rely on a Python pip library. This Rich really looks cool and is nice, but nothing for (my) server use.

That is the problem, when many sites are hosted in the same country (USA). DMCA = US law.

Well, it seems not to have a Swype functionality. Actually, on small Touchscreens without feedback this is quite essential.

We really need an full open source keyboard with some kind of Swype. Sadly I don't know any.

I was reading it and thought: wow, this guy is absolutely right! Great things he's talking about. After reading it, i saw it was Linux Torvalds :D

Absolutly! Also, Webcams are almost not developing. e.g. the Logitech C270 is 10 years old and is still selling for 30-40€, I think almost the same price since 2010.

Imagine the phones or cameras in the year 2010. I really think the webcam industrie is a cartel (not to say mafia).

You probably know the song, if you watched the Matrix movies.

I guess, I'll watch Matrix this evening. The song he used for the video really is amazing and gives Matrix Vibes. (Chateau - Rob Dougan)

Getting 10$ a month for using Gmail? Sounds like a deal for me. At the moment these companies get my data for free thinking about it
