I think you did not really try it. Compressing a long variable name and uneeded whitespace is just as good as minification. A compression algorithm is optimized for making redundant data small and of course everything which can be minified contains redundancy, that's why you are able to shrink it. And you're elegantly ignoring the other point, that your minified js file is cached for two weeks or something similiar. No need to use something minified.
I bet you visited one in your life;-). Now compare: a 500kb banner less or shrinking your js/css from a total of 50kb down to 30kb? The banner is loaded dynamically, the css and js are cached for two weeks.
You see what i am talking about. And most ad systems need more than 500 kb of traffic nowadays
Everybody would argue about any moral algorithm, while the egoistic one is the obvious one. If everyone's thinking about himself, everybody has someone thinking about himself. You may get prisoner's dilemma, but in how many areas do you have one and it works out anyway?
Bullshit. At this times nobody cared to minify js. This insanity started much later, when people noticed their sites are loading slowly (because of ads, but we cannot remove the ads, so lets save 200 byte in the javascript file, which is cached anyway). At this time you could read html/javascript source code like a book, nothing was obscured.
It's consistent. Try to compare several truthy/falsy things to NaN, undefined, infinity and so on. You will notice, that the operators are not transitive, sometimes equivalence operators are not even symmetric or reflexive.
did you try? there isn't much activity with sysv scripts and no poetteringware. networkmanager? a plain dhcp-client and network/interface needs almost no cpu. init? always idle. syslog? very little cpu. what does he do, what needs so much cpu? bitcoin mining?
How do they do it? I really liked mozilla prism, then it was discontinued. Chrome --app isn't quite the same, currently i have one app with epiphany app-mode, which works like prism, but doesn't hide the navigation bar, which takes quite a lot of screen-space like all recent gnome programs with new style. And epiphany doesn't have all html5 features, yet.
as widevine is used by chrome, opera, vivaldi and others, there would not much be left. some msie with all its quirks and a vanishing number of firefox users.
As all DRM: If you give me the encrypted content and all i need to show it (decryption code and somewhere hidden inside the key), i will be able to decrypt it. No surprise.
But next: Hollywood will demand the nightmare DRM. While w3c said "EME is harmless, you run the CDM in a sandbox", the movie companies will demand the CDM to be run with admin privileges to check the integrity of your video driver. And when it's established, there's nothing stopping them adding code to scan for clonecd and other signs you might be a movie pirate (and not like in johnny depp).
Google should never have agreed to EME. They should have said fuck off, no flash, no silverlight no eme, just provide your streams or fuck off and try to sell discs.
Whatsapp and Signal can probably (whatsapp is no open source) see the same amount of data. Whatsapp is honest and tells the user, what they possibly can see, signal doesn't do this that upfront.
Nothing against some actually secure apps (and one point you should not neglect is a trustworthy vendor, which doesn't push malicious updates to an app, which is secure at the moment), but check your facts. I think there was one messanger (app, programs there are some), which wanted to get rid of the metadata by using tor. I guess this sucks quite a bit of battery, though.

so, then please debug an minimized script. Of course minifying obfuscates the script. And compression makes it unneccessary. That's the point.

remove one ad from your site and you'll saved more than obfuscating the js file does.
despite this, compression is part of http for a long long time.

I like the elaborate reasoning of your argument and now i am fully convinced.

Which is solved with netflix as well.
Which means, if you do not obtain a license, it is a copyright violation. And nothing more.

i think you can grab audio via pulseaudio. linux has some recordmydesktop program, which does so as well. I guess it has ffmpeg under the hood.
why should netflix care? They sell their accounts and that's it. The movie studios can try to sue the payment companies. Good luck.

JS will be tossed at the day, that the government closes facebook.
mod parent up.
disable media autoplay in about:config.
nope. The malicious adserver standards came before anti-adblock techniques, just because it's possible.
Why no banana pi with real usb and SATA?
Get a 4 TB drive (100 eur), get some usb3 case (20-40 eur), get some actual cable instead of wireless shit. Be happy with your cheap portable drive.

you know, you do not need to agree there? You can just skip the step.
