Absolutely true. Using a 2nd browser for checking out the comments on demand could greatly limit the 3rd party stalking but it's not worth being called a solution.
But there's eventually going to be an alternate version of the plugin to anonymize the data. Accessing it randomly through Tor or something similar, maybe?
Someone pointed out it'd be great to fight fake news (on any side).
I have to agree, even without outright lying "news" outlets are often very selective in which facts of any stories they let out and delete comments from so-called "trolls". I don't mind sifting through a majority garbage comments for nuggets of info that the site conveniently (for them) left out.
In some case It'd be also nice if we could look up the comments without actually going on articles that stink of clickbait before clicking the link and feeding the trash. Because otherwise by the time we've figured it was indeed (less obvious) clickbait garbage it's too late: They made their money.
Yes those labelled as the heretics spouting witchcraft and the devils words must be silenced.
Like for example Meghan Murphy who got suspended on Twitter for saying "Women aren't men". Dear lord, the horrors! The ministry of truth is gravely needed. Of course, I will be the sole member deciding what comments "we can live without". Because I say so. Only the enlightened's world views shall be heard. I know what's best for every one and I shall decide what people hear.
It's funny that Trump can't block people on Twitter because that would infringe on people's rights to communicate but somehow Twitter can ban whoever they like and that doesn't infringe on those exact same rights.
[...] which won't tell you anything aside from how the people who want to bring back the Holocaust need to start with themselves.
The first thing you need for a Holocaust is to make it socially and morally acceptable to point at racial or ethnic groups as the evil undeserving privileged oppressor, as all benefiting from the oppression of others, make it acceptable to dehumanise an entire racial or ethnic group over some arbitrary criteria of a few members.
Guess what AC, the right isn't the side that's pushing to make open hatred toward the "oppressive" entire-demographic-du-jour socially acceptable today.
And once this becomes the socially accepted "woke" value all it takes is one guy to point the acceptable hatred at some "privileged" ethnic group, say, with lots of bankers/Hollywood/business owners, kind of like the National Socialist party did.
They took advantage of the already accepted oppressor/oppressed relativistic morals and society "Punched up" toward a certain ethnic group.
The regulations say 3 point belt, has to be 3 point belt.
It's kind of ridiculous when you consider motorcycles exist (thank god we're still allowed *some* personal choices) and just about anything else is safer.
How big of a beach ball do I have to kick toward the car for the airbags to detect "a large fast incoming object" and deploy, costing $1500+ to replace?
I'd love 5-points harnesses in passenger cars. They'd make airbags completely unnecessary. Would reduce cost too. Replacing airbags adds a lot to repair costs, can even total a 8+ year old car that would have been otherwise repairable. But the market finds them too bothersome and there's also an issue with overweight passengers.
So every near-misses and door dents we'll have to pay over $2000 for replacement doors, airbags, and labour. That's going to be great for people who can barely afford a car.
Because once it's a "safety device" it has to be in perfect condition for the car to be allowed on the road. Parking lot scrapes that would have been an otherwise innocuous door dent and a good pull with a suction cup will now require an expensive repair and airbag replacement. The manufacturer can charge a maximum because it has to be certified.
I hope they won't just take the manufacturer's word for it and independently evaluate the functionality and safety benefits before updating regulations and jacking up the costs. There's going to be added dangers too when the airbags don't go off (frontal collision or other) and the emergency services have to cut the door.
I never had a single Linux machine sleep and wake properly. I don't think I even tried on the GPD Win 1 I just shutdown and turn it back on if I don't need it for 5 mins. Sorry I cant be of more help
Haha! I'm actually (badly) quoted on that page! "Fixing occasional crash when using all cores" section links to my reddit post 2 years ago.
The wiki asserts that it's software-controlled when I wrote "It seems it's software controlled" because I'm only guessing. It could also be because Windows might adjust the PSU, allowing the CPU to run at full speed. Maybe both, maybe something else entirely like a missing microcode update or whatever. All I know is the crashes went away.
If anyone reading this has an editor access to the ArchWiki and would kindly fix the assertion to a hypothesis it would be much appreciated.
The GPD Win1 was definitely quirky to get working. The GPD Win2 I've only heard "it just works".
I've had mine (1st gen) working for a while, I haven't tried reinstalling since (if it ain't broken...) so I can't tell if newer xubuntu just works out of the box or still requires a lot of tweaking. But I got the GPU 3D acceleration and can use all 4 cores (turbo boost disabled), sound card, mini HDMI port, touch screen, USB-A port USB3, gamepad works.
USB-C works as a USB2 port & charger, I haven't tested hdmi out functionality of that port in Linux uSD card slot doesn't work for me, I use a USB adapter if I need to read an SD card. And when Linux boots I have to close the lid and reopen once for the LCD to turn on after the latest kernel update (didn't use to do that, but it's a small work around)
Correction: The without-4G Gemini is $10 cheaper than the GPD Pocket (I only noticed the +4G model price.)... for half the RAM and half the storage of the GPD Pocket & no x86 Windows 10 compatibility... yeah... still a pass for me.
I have a GPD Win 1st version dual-booting Linux & Win10. I actually dev using it on the train/ferry/plane: Kdevelop, Gimp, Modo. I play some Steam games too on the Win10 partition. I've been considering upgrading to the Win2, not Pocket because I dev games so the built-in controller is great OTG and doubles as a half-decent mouse. But if it wasn't for my need for a built-in gamepad I'd go with the GPD Pocket.
This Gemini PDA seems like a downgrade. For 4G connectivity, I have a cell phone I can tether to and there's WiFi almost everywhere otherwise.
"Apple has been neglecting its responsibility to police" How is it their responsibility? Are they officially the (thought) police now? If there is a crime report it to the actual police. If not then it's not their responsibility.
Spoon manufacturers have been neglecting their responsibility to police people eating too much ice cream.
On a more serious note: won't the tiny plastic spheres embedded in the electroplated metals be a giant source of microplastics and turn into an environmental disaster during the recycling process?
Yep and pretty soon everyone is only hearing the opinions they like, automatically think every other opinion is the minority, in a giant happy bubble echo-chamber enabled by technology.
Then when reality hits them entire offices have mental breakdowns and have to shut down for a couple of days and think everyone else is a radical extremist because how else can one's isolated brain explain that other people have a different opinion?
It must be trolls! It must be 4chan's doing! It must be xenophobic-racist-misogynists-radical-alt-right-transphobic-homophobic-Nazi-Russian bots!
Or maybe the like-dislike ratio is representative of the general population and it's their consumer polling / market study method that is flawed and only covers a subset of the population, the type that answers polls and wherever they did their study.
We saw how wrong polls can be with the last American presidential election.

I'd +1 you for balanced list if I could. There's trash on all sides.

A bit of an inconsistency there.
The ironic thing is in 1941 the Third Reich forgave a man who trained his dog to mock Hitler & the Nazi salute https://www.nytimes.com/2011/0...
We're not so fortunate today.
Now people will be able to demonetise and shutdown videos/channels by posting fake pedo comments.
Progress!

My car is from 2014 and has none of those. I can buy this year's model and they still have none of those "features". Not all cars cost $40,000.

Do they also own Vice? I assume all the V-named radical left channels are the same.

yeah... still a pass for me.
The GPD Pocket is cheaper, double the memory, double the storage, x86-64 CPU...
GPD Pocket: $509.00 USD, Win10 or Linux, Intel x7-Z8750, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 7" 1920x1200

Airlines are not "All you can fly" deals. Really a terrible analogy.
It's not a buffet with a fixed price where you can order 1000 flights with no extra cost to you and waste the seats.
"Apple has been neglecting its responsibility to police"
How is it their responsibility? Are they officially the (thought) police now? If there is a crime report it to the actual police. If not then it's not their responsibility.
Spoon manufacturers have been neglecting their responsibility to police people eating too much ice cream.
I'm stealing that title for my Robocop fanfic.
