There are no "100% safe" solutions. There will always be weaknesses and vulnerabilities in any system. The sort of criminal who requires or expects 100% safety is quickly going to be caught due to being a dullard. Knowing you're never truly "safe" is what good criminals are keenly aware of at all times: you can plan and prepare for certain eventualities. Once you think you're "safe", it's the beginning of the end.

I'm in the same boat; diagnosed with ADHD-PI (UK, so we don't use the term 'ADD') as an adult. I've improved vastly thanks to medication and good routines but it remains a constant effort, and improvement is a continual process. The book Taking Charge of Adult ADHD by Russell Barkley helped me significantly.

I thought that too, but perhaps only personal data is deleted irrecoverably, allowing them to retrieve other/periphery account data; maybe an account's "fans" aren't considered personal data, for instance? I'm not familiar with TikTok, admittedly.

Otherwise, perhaps there was some delay on account deletion?

Why wouldn't the EFF concern itself with the careless and disorganised response of a digital company to online privacy legislation?

This doesn't appear to have been the case:

Oof, yeah, that one's something else entirely. I don't tend to mind these newer formats, but I'll admit I'm not a fan of that one.

Reader view in Firefox has always worked flawlessly for me with BBC articles, including these "funky" ones. It's a godsend.

Is there a reader view/mode in Chrome, or is it only supported via extensions?

Haha. I don't have much to add, but this seriously made me chuckle.

I misread it similarly, at first glance.

Really enjoyed reading this! Seems like a fascinating journey, I'd love to make the trip some day.

Yes, I worded that poorly. I meant loading Piwik's UI; it was cripplingly slow and often timed out. I had little luck in narrowing down the cause, but it was hardly a thorough investigation on my part, IIRC.

I tried Piwik but it seemed so cripplingly slow. Trying to load the analytics often took minutes.

Has anybody else experienced this?

He's seemingly either a climate denialist or some sort of troll; just look through his post history.

I think we can all agree 1080p is "good quality", right? Your average pirate probably isn't demanding 4K quality, I imagine.

> in the UK for example they just need a BSc

That doesn't seem to be true? This page says you need an MSc, in the UK, to register and be a licensed pharmacist: https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/pharmacy/stud...

I'd like to think plenty of folk here would have ethical objections, too. Perhaps that's wishful thinking.

> How many people here track their users?

Right across the Internet? Very few, I imagine!

Opinion pages are clearly set apart from news reporting. In The Guardian, opinion pieces appear in the "Comment is Free" section.

It oughtn't be. You might not like their opinion pages -- yes, they're typically left-wing -- but The Guardian's reporting is absolutely top notch; amongst the best in the world.

Probably not, hence "almost certainly".

That's a line pushed by large corporations to convince people that money saved through tax avoision is somehow benefiting the consumer. Companies should pay their fair share of tax.

Moreover, the argument makes little sense when dealing with companies like Google and Facebook. The average consumer isn't paying for access to Google Search, Gmail, or Facebook...

This is awesome and will save me a lot of time. Thanks!

'Optimize' has been around for quite some time, just in case anybody thinks this is new. In fact, I believe this feature has been around for over a year, now.

HN is for more than tech.

There is more evidence: https://s-e-o.org/which-font-is-best-for-dyslexic-users-the-...

Apparently there have been a few studies, and a thesis, investigating "dyslexic fonts", which found no real benefit. I can't find any evidence that OpenDyslexic and the like are helpful, meanwhile.

Regarding the font used, OpenDyslexic, there isn't actually any evidence it helps readability (apparently): https://s-e-o.org/which-font-is-best-for-dyslexic-users-the-...

Even here in rural Devon in England, nothing running in our libraries is particularly old, and there's nothing truly "ancient" left at all.

There are already significant seaweed farms in Japan, and farms exist in China, Korea, Fiji, Zanzibar, and even the UK.

Because most people here are rather left-wing, and I feel that the majority of lefties hold the US military establishment (rightfully, IMHO) in very low regard, due to recent activities and engagements — e.g. the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya and Syria, and so on.

Not to imply this is only a position of the political left; it's my experience, however, that left-wing folk, including myself, are not exactly overflowing with praise for the US military...

Seems sensible to me.

> I’ll start: do we ever store 1.1.1.1’s users’ IPs? No. They’re never written to disk.

Is there a guarantee that this will always be the case? Might there, in theory, be a point in the future where users' IPs are collected and stored?

Loving 1.1.1.1, btw.
