I would rather live on my feet in a dangerous world than live on my knees in a safe one.
There is a tremendous difference between residents being aware of what's happening in their community and mass governmental surveillance.
I won't ever get over it. Some things are so important that they're worth fighting for regardless of how futile the battle may seem.
I don't really know why, even though I did the same for a lot of years. That my laptop never left my desk is why, when it came time to replace it, I finally switched to a tower instead. If mobility isn't a concern, the…
Interestingly, I'd already disabled update notifications and automatic updates in Firefox because the one-month release cadence was so fast that I found it seriously annoying. As a result, I update much less often than…
I think it was around 50 when I noticed that I didn't pick new things up quite as easily as I used to. I'm still a fast learner, but not as fast as I used to be.
Most people I know who use a laptop do that.
Software engineer, last laptop was Dell Inspiron, I use it until it breaks in a way I can't fix. Laptops typically last me 7-10 years. However, I decided to switch away from laptops entirely when my last one broke.…

The odds of this being effective are very, very low. Low enough that I'll still avoid being near anyone wearing a pair of spy glasses regardless of whether or not an LED is glowing.
I hate Flock (and similar companies) and the horrific things it wants to expose us all to. Trump has nothing to do with it.
You wouldn't expect him to risk damaging his shiny new bribe, would you?

My social circle has been talking a lot about this problem and question. I have no idea what's next, but suspect it's going to be more balkanization. My friend group has been moving more and more to a private,…
The defining feature of hackers and hacking culture is not computers (hackerdom is larger than, and predates, computers), but curiosity. The drive to know how things actually work.
While there are bad companies to work for of any size, in my experience, small companies tend to be much more enjoyable and meaningful to work for. But "small company" doesn't have to mean "startup". I'd be unlikely to…

This strikes me as yet another reason to never set foot in one of these things. Both being spied on and that the company has the ability to straight up kidnap people is just too chilling.
Much, much more.
