So don't use Google as an intermediary. Debian runs popcon, for example. They could run something similar.
Re:Tor General Strike on Sunday August 21, 2016 @07:57AM (#12330581)
If the Tor management wants to fire him, that's up to them. For any reason, or no reason at all. It's their decision. On the other hand, "rape" is a delicate matter, and all of this shouldn't have been discussed in public.

>I believe them. You should, too.

I don't believe them for two reasons:

1) There is no actual proof. I don't believe things for which there's no proof.

2) It's possible multiple people didn't like him and therefore between themselves they decided to accuse him of rape to get rid of him.

This should be settled in court, not with witch hunting.

I personally don't care about the people who work on a project that should be strictly technical. I don't understand why did they have to mix politics in.

Re:Tor General Strike on Sunday August 21, 2016 @07:25AM (#12330473)
The Tor project, as many other popular open source projects, has been infiltrated by tons of people who like to use the popularity of it to spread their liberal propaganda. That's why it's in their interests to make as much noise as possible.

The project itself is full with all sorts of people with mental illnesses, including sexual deviations, and a strong political bias--it's a massive echo chamber right now.

And it's a shame because of the nature of this project: it should be kept neutral. Similar to the EFF for example.

Serious question: why would you want to send to Google details of the software you're installing on your computer?

Re:New Mozilla logo concepts on Saturday August 20, 2016 @12:45PM (#12327286)
The original logo is nowhere to be found on that page because they don't have the balls to compare it to any of the new ones.

Translation: you better not change it.

That is correct, but as you can see this account is not even two months old.

I use flag because I can't downvote.

They say if you use flag often you lose your flagging ability, but I don't care because I'm banned often and I have to keep creating accounts.

No but I expect them not to make it look like they just want to help OSS

People shouldn't be writing comments at all…

The tone is the same as always: "buy our product". That's what all viva64 submissions are about.

Re:Writing Less Code on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @11:42AM (#12305517)
That's correct for many websites, but others such as Facebook have such a complicated but still correct UI on a desktop that it's appropriate to have two different websites.
I don't even know what Curse is, but I use wowpedia every day, I hope they don't screw it up.

Re:Stop Treating Marijuana Like Heroin on Saturday August 13, 2016 @09:08AM (#12281316)
That's like asking for alcohol that is not denaturalised. You need to prove it's for... well, serious purposes.
I do, but like with Linux, be prepared for constant troubleshooting after each update.

Also you'll probably get lower performance, especially from your GPU, and also from your CPU if your ACPI tables aren't properly configured.

Same here, I see no ads somehow. And if I start seeing them I'll stop using Facebook, after all it is just some kind of RSS reader with built-in dumb comments now.

Won't you need another exploit to do this on RT/Phone? It's not like they allow you to write to arbitrary files by default...

Re:Updating Torrents via DHT Mutable Items on Tuesday August 09, 2016 @05:35PM (#12257868)
An index? That could be huge. I think it's senseless.

So many p2p protocols have support for p2p search (to my mind comes Kademlia), why can't BitTorrent have p2p search?

Re:Facebook will force advertising on ad-blocking users on Tuesday August 09, 2016 @11:22AM (#12255180)
No, that's for bandwidth savings I reckon.
Because complexity lets them keep their jobs for longer. :-)
A fair solution would be to remove both states.
Re:Ask HN: Details behind years old Windows taskbar bug? on Monday August 08, 2016 @08:11AM (#12247068)
I think it has happened to everybody, but I can't reproduce it reliably. It happens to me at random, if I don't reboot the computer for days it will always appear.

You can kill explorer.exe to fix it.

Re:A x64 OS #1: UEFI on Sunday August 07, 2016 @07:49AM (#12241815)
Do you even need LFN for UEFI? I don't think it should be a requirement for a FS that is not exposed to the user...
