> Reddit has some explicit content

Understatement of the millenium there.

I really don't want to read the blog of a messaging app. I don't care about messaging apps. I just want to be able to message people without worrying about my privacy.

Not my experience for dev related searches. I assume this is because Google has learned I always search for JS stuff and I've gotten used to that so I'm not specific enough in my searches on DDG.

Use duckduckgo and this is a non-issue.

Bold move suggesting Adobe products on a Blender thread.

I reccomend watching this interview with him - at least the parts where he talks about money. It's incredibly refreshing to hear someone at the top of their game in the tech sphere say they're not interested in money except as a tool to help them create.

I'm pretty sure it does - or maybe it's the e-privacy directive or something else, they all get called GDPR. But you have to make clicking no obvious, easy, and not degrade functionality.

Yeah it's frustrating. WA also requires this, in fairness. It's very annoying though. I want a messenger app that's not owned by Facebook and doesn't require that I'm constantly glued to my phone to use it.

I didn't have any issues witg Signal until they introduced this crypto BS recently. Now I'm suspicious of them. I don't know if that's unfounded or not, but I don't know much about crypto and I don't have any interest in spending my time researching this to see whether it's a problem for me or not.

Maybe I should take the time. But I guarantee I'm not the only person feeling this way, and most people will simply avoid Signal if they're doing suspicious stuff that they don't understand.

Mozilla has never made Firefox completely stop working for 2 days. Even if they did, it's still a false equivalence: if FF stops working for a few hours you'd just use Chrome pretty much seamlessly. With Signal you have to switch to a different messaging service (easy) AND persuade all your contacts to switch too (hard).

I do mean editorialized:

> To present an opinion in the guise of an objective report.

As in, I'm suspicious that the words the farmer spoke were heavily edited by the journalist before being published to better fit the narrative.

Bananas are radioactive. The ground under your house is probably radioactive. Saying something is radioactive is meaningless without saying _how_ radioactive it is.

I live in a small city in Vietnam. There have been about four weeks of lockdown in the past year, besides that my life has been pretty much normal, dinner parties, festivals, hiking, island hopping. I've traveled a lot around Vietnam over the past year, there's so much to see here.

The only thing that's really changed is that there are no foreign tourists, but the local tourists seem to be making up for it.

Genetics and aging? He's 72.

> work with them to tell their story

Hmmm... Suspicioun that this is heavily editorialized intensifies.

It's written by this woman, who calls herself a "pop philosopher". Her name is at the bottom of the article:

What about when competing services launch, as they will if this is successful? What are the total numbers going to look like if EU, Russia, China, Japan, and India all launch starlink services?

Well, my reaction to this one is suspicion that it sounds a little too perfect and either the farmer is idealizing his life or the journalist has taken editorial liberties.. so, maybe?

Cattle are treated well in Ireland, and sheep too (comparatively). However, pigs and chickens are treated terribly, and we have a total cultural blindspot to it. We have nothing to be proud of when it comes to animal welfare.

Maybe it is. What's minimum wage like there? Are low level employees guaranteed good pay, decent quality of life, sick/parental leave, and so on?

It's a marketing thing - the engine is free and open source, the editor is not.

Yeah, I think they are pretty much identical. I should have said choosing any more restrictive license would cause problems.

This guy has clearly never looked at an actual animal, like a dog dozing in the sun or a dolphin surfing along a wave for fun.

Did switching DNS server fix it?

> License: MIT.

Virtually all open source projects in the web dev community are MIT licensed, especially when it comes tooling. Choosing any other license would cause a lot of friction and prevent adoption.

This is an actual newspaper - it's one of the main "serious" Australian newspapers, apparently.

> here's how worried you should be.

... A lot, according to this newspaper. Because the more worried/stressed/scared you are, the more likely you are to feel you need to care about reading the news every day.

As for how worried you should actually be that you'll get hit by a piece of space debris: zero. You should be zero worried. And you should stop reading scaremongering newspapers like this and go find your information somewhere that is not actively trying to make you feel stressed and scared all the time.

Note: I'm not saying this story is not newsworthy. It is. I'm merely commenting on the awful writing style used in this article. Murdoch is to blame, no doubt.
