techeliteon Improving DNS Privacy with Oblivious DoH

Didn't twitter survive?

Also how would we know if Apple is working with other companies? It's not like they are known to be transparent or Truthful.

I urge people to stop repeating Apple Advertising. Claims of privacy and security are debunked weekly. You put yourself at risk if you believe it.

It's just marketing. Apple has already shown they will sell you out with PRISM.

Who knows what other backroom deals are happening outside our knowledge. The only reason we found out about PRISM is because the gigantic scale and Snowden sacrificed Everything to let it be known.

Notably absent are your left wing Maos and lenin.

Either you aren't discussing in good faith or ignorant of left wing populism.

techeliteon Uber sells self-driving unit in deal that will push Aurora’s valuation to $10B

Nah, companies on the brink of collapse will keep saying cruise control is self driving. Companies with a foundation keep calling it cruise control.

All about risk.

I'm more curious what caused the wave of populism in the late 2010s. Was it really Russian propagandists on social media?

COVID will be gone in a year or 2, but the economic damage may cause things to be worse.

My best hope is a reform of the medical cartels, but that is wishful thinking in the face of a billion dollar lobbyist group.

techeliteon With Proton and Steam Play, many Windows games now work on Linux

Ahh yes I will surely miss COD and FIFA /s

My bigger concern would be a permanent ban on an indie game.

I'm a bit skeptical of all the positivity here.

Heck if I can't edit mouse acceleration with ease, how hard is it going to be to watch Netflix? Do I need to downgrade chromium to 30.4 just to install some plugin incompatible with the v32 chromium?

These are real issues that you'd expect Ubuntu to have working from defaults.

techeliteon Tech elites leaving San Francisco threaten Silicon Valley's supremacy

"Detroit" moved to the suburbs. Check out the statistics for Oakland county (and possibly macomb county for the blue collar workers).

Toyota, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, VW, and all their parts suppliers(and the supplier parts suppliers) have at minimum a white collar office in south east Michigan.

The event that caused the Exodus from Detroit was the Race Riots. You can Google that because I'm not touching that topic.(and it doesn't help Detroit has a 1% tax)
