Technetium··on Google bans Podcast Addict app over non-approved Covid-19 content
I would rather apps be automatically suspended and the install marked as potentially dangerous than have my device goatse'd to a malicious developer for any amount of time.
Technetium··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
Strong agree here. Infinite scrolling is painful. I would rather be given an ENTIRE page to scroll as I see fit.
Technetium··on Lyme disease bacteria eradicated by new drug in early tests
Thank you for this comment. It prompted me to look into Nicholas Zakas and his story. I've decided to make my way to a Lyme disease specialist based what his information lead me to think about co-infection.
Technetium··on Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
This is so amazing I'm going to switch from Atom because of it! Thank you for making this!
Technetium··on Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained
They deleted all of my data when one of my payments didn't go through, without notifying me. They are impossible to contact outside of passive aggressive email support.

Technetium··on Germany to make it a crime to run a Tor node or website
If something like this goes through, I consider it my duty to run tor nodes myself. There are multiple cheap VPS services that support you running a node and will have your back if something happens.
Technetium··on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?
If you think you're going to have a good time living in the Carolinas, then I genuinely hope that you don't plan on being black or gay outside of a major city. There is a ton of bigotry and racism still present there, and the politicians in charge are happy to see it continue.
Technetium··on How Firefox Got Fast Again
This really depends on the lists that you use in each. Research exactly what you want to block. I personally don't like a few of the lists for that specific reason, they block everything all together, not just tracking pixel domains and things of that nature. There is also an official uBlock Origin Extra extension that I find very handy for blocking websocket garbage. This is becoming more important as websocket connections become more prevalent. https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra/wiki/Sites-on-which-uBO...
