Yay, a blank dark page. Thank you, page author, for contributing to making the Internet an inaccessible shithole and requiring Javascript to read simple text.
$500 for a crappy netbook with 1080 resolution? What year is this? Go on Swappa and find yourself a used computer for less money and more power, install Linux yourself.
> They require you to send them pictures that you took using their app. Nonsense, just tell them you can't do that and will email them. Have a back bone. > I want to use my accounts for anything other than debit…
Classic EFF, having gone completely downhill and capitulated after Snowden, writes another idiotic article about police "noooo ... can't do that!" in spite of overwhelming evidence they can and do. But it's cool because…
I love how #2 is, Linux will "Fight Toxic Waste" because presumably you don't have to buy a "new" computer. It's always hilarious to see individuals trying to make a stand against "bad" environment policies by acting as…
Corebooted Thinkpads are the gold standard. Don't listen to this article - it's utter nonsense - the author even recommend Libreboot which is effectively abandonware barely maintained by one unstable individual.
Stopped reading at "Macbook is ... as trustworthy as the Libreboot ThinkPad". Anyone who trusts closed source, proprietary, for-profit platforms from PRISM partners doesn't know what they're talking about.
iOS is just as bad, if not worse. See https://gist.github.com/iosecure/357e724811fe04167332ef54e73...
Not unless you have a lot of free time to pour through thousands of log lines manually.
"Safe and effective" yet we don't even have a full year of data on it. How are people this clueless?
The article is talking about non-organic, GMO "foods" which are that in name only.
Ugly. Use teddit.net for a clean experience.
Translation: police can now identify you with your permission.
We are building systems for turn-key tyranny. Stop using closed source, proprietary, for-profit technology which only oppresses us and builds a hellish future for our children to experience. Avoid rotten Apple.
This is how you know you need a vacation from computers - when you write an article literally fetishizing sounds they once made. The whole piece is symptomatic of a fried brain. To the author: go outside for a long walk…
More baseless gender-bating nonsense. Nothing to do with technology or "hacker" news. Just some useless trivia editorialized to paint the "MEN BAD" narrative. Can't believe how the quality of front-page stories has…

The audience here should know that where there is capability, there is abuse. Android and Windows are no exception.
It's not "censorship" it's "programming" also known as "brainwashing" of a population not to care about contrarian viewpoints, rather to view them as "dangerous" and "conspiracy theories" which only "right wing nuts"…

They don't have any incentive to, in fact the opposite is true - they purposefully don't fix zero days so intel agencies can use them to spy on dissidents.
Right? Even suggesting that there might possibly be perverse incentives to prolong a state of emergency will raise ire and draw ban hammers.
How do people not realize this, even when it's been made so painfully obvious with their photo scanning debacle? There is *zero* privacy on closed source, proprietary, for-profit, shareholder-owned platforms. Zero, zip,…
Chris Hedges calls it a "coup d'etat in slow motion". The elites have realized time is on their side and they can implement their agendas on their own schedule, covertly.
