HugoDaniel··on Facebook lawyers explain to a judge that privacy on Facebook is nonexistent
FB notion of privacy is wrong. Privacy is not about what i publicly share.

My right to privacy is about all the info they secretly collect, keep and sell to make a profit. My right to privacy implies that they do not keep a shadow profile on me and my relatives who are not on Facebook. My right to privacy implies that they dont read through me phone messages at will. My right to privacy gives me the freedom to avoid being spoon fed by the highest bidders such as Trump, farage et al

FB knows this and they consciously divert the attention towards what we publicly share. Evil.

HugoDaniel··on Mozilla will reportedly launch a paid version of Firefox this fall
The logic here is that Google will never send/sell your data to third parties ?

How do you think Facebook et al gets a hold of your google data ? How do you think companies like Cambridge Analytica thrive ?

I am genuinely curious to know what your view of the world on these topics is and why are you so insistently (and apparently naively) defending google in this regard.

HugoDaniel··on New Mac Pro
Do these roadmaps include running at half a speed after a couple of months due to (arguably purposeful) design flaws ?
HugoDaniel··on WWDC 2019 Keynote Livestream
Who is going to give up that money on an Intel in 2019 ?

A few months later it will be running at half the speed due to new sploits being found.

HugoDaniel··on Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements
It depends on the ad unit in question. Ad-tech is a very tricky world with a ton of meanders and intermediaries/mediators.

Anyway good luck with that if the app is using a mediator from a big known name as it will likely block all of their services as well.

HugoDaniel··on Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements
The pages you use the most serve some ads from their own domain. E.g. Youtube et. al.

Also beware as most ads in your phone apps come from ad intermediaries that are either dynamic or constantly change.

Pi-Hole is a cool project but please take in consideration those two when using it. We are far from the 90's in ad-tech.

HugoDaniel··on Chrome extension manifest v3 proposal: comment from uBlock Origin author
Google is an advertising company
HugoDaniel··on The sorry state of OpenSSL usability (2017)
I found it strange since OpenBSD is known for their excellent docs. So after opening the libressl site they have that paragraph stating the parts of the lib and links to their docs. That page works as the documentation index.

Namely

https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1

Which the author was complaining about needing to use google for. Specifically the https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1#GENRSA seems well document.

Forks are just the way open source works and if documentation could be better then we are all free to contribute to it.

HugoDaniel··on Housing Can’t Be Both Affordable and a Good Investment (2018)
You are disregarding tourism. It can disrupt housing costs while the wages of everyone living in that country stay the same.

This is also a related article:

It is more high level but a very good read on the subject.

HugoDaniel··on Rise of Netflix Competitors Has Pushed Consumers Back Toward Piracy
"file-sharing accounts for 3 percent of global downstream and 22 percent of upstream traffic, with 97% of that traffic in turn being BitTorrent"

Two questions:

1. How much is 97% of 3% ?

2. Why did the writer used such technique to make it sound big ?

HugoDaniel··on Disable Flash support by default in Firefox 69
"First, there’s “Open”.

Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Adobe, and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc."

oh the irony on this :D
