The cloud is basically a loser so long as some one outside is controlling it. Not your cloud, not your data.
THE way to build a UI that worked and looked consistently across platforms at the time as well. It was a great time! Even now it still takes some work to achieve the same!
Same. But I switched because I felt that Adobe got very abusive with customers that paid for a $2,000 and had the misfortune of having a serial number tied up in a crashed machine that wasn't deactivated. The…
Did anyone really expected better from Google?
They're a publisher that edits content, plain and simple. Take away the platform status and let them play by the same rules as other publishers.
Funny. I've basically done the same with UltraEdit. Although, when it comes to certain languages, I prefer to use the dedicated IDE. Especially if the GUI is involved. For .net, it's straight up Visual Studio. For Java,…
Under conditions like these, a thriving black market is inevitable.
Isn't that like comparing apples to pears?
These services can't be trusted anymore as a single point of failure. Distributed torrent like systems need to replace them. Trusting any of these companies as the stewards of content is foolish at this point.

It's about time now to declare the "social media" experiment dead. We're basically learning that there is value in excluding. The all inclusive buffet only brings you down to a neutered lowest common denominator. You're…
I'm convinced that implementing so-called "free speech" sites in public doesn't work. Real free speech happens in closed networks, invite only. The only downside is those take more time to grow.
Also, I think begging politicians to see it any other way is a waste of time. Widespread disobedience and resistance is the only way to knock it down. Make it cost a lot to enforce.
When Phil Zimmerman created PGP one of his stated use cases was protection of speech in totalitarian regimes. Well... looks like we're approaching that use case. Encryption is permissionless by design.
After listening to the conference it just boils down to whether these social media companies are public forums protected from liability or publishers. Once they made the move to edit content, they became publishers.…
The idea that this won't be abused is nuts after seeing what's already been done by the likes of Facebook, Zoom, Microsoft and others. Privacy is privacy. No one has the right to take that away.
What is it about weak encryption that has these politicians convinced that using it won't lead to higher incidents of hacking and identity theft? We're already dealing with one blow to our economy, should we bracing for…
If you think identity theft is bad now, wait until this gets passed! Not to mention embezzlement, corporate espionage, etc. They'll need to set up a recovery fund in addition.
I hear people junk talk the iPad all the time but I love mine. I rarely open a computer at home because of the iPad. A lot of times I don't even turn on my TV and just use it as my mini TV. It's basically a laptop in a…
Great. More identity theft for the masses!
Haven't we known this for quite some time? I'm just amazing many places still use it!
I almost thought we were talking comeback when I saw the headline!
These dummies never learn, do they?
Yet people still refuse to acknowledge permissionless crypto as an alternate form of exchange. Instead of sticking it to the Man, they want to stick to the Man until the bitter end!
Imagine that. Downvoting correct answer. Did I somehow end up on Reddit?
