I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the “standard” way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

The article criticized the closing of the Internet by Tehran, but the Internet is clear vulnerability that can be exploited in times of war.

Good article. Very pro-gaming.

I can’t wait for our Indian overlords to do the same soon. We can’t get enough money.

That guy (Rich) got a big piece of shit up his ass. He goes all the way to quote Socrates. It’s funny.

This is just trolling, at this point.

Creating unbiased public, open-source alternatives to corporate-controlled models.

Unbiased? I don’t think that’s possible, sir.

“Sex is a huge part of life, and it feels strange when art ignores that.”

I hate that every big book has a sex scene. I think it just doesn’t fit with the overall feel of them. And now games are going that way.

But getting more sex coverage on news media is good, I like that.

I think owning a platform like GitHub and acting like you can profit out of your code (not your product) isn’t good news.

I think many people wouldn’t like to live under a “Nerd Reich”, so it’s only natural that there is a mainstream article against that. I’m assuming people who don’t understand anything about the technology that keeps their attention most of the time are concerned about the possibility. Society losing grip over itself, that is, language (social skills) not being the primary characteristic of the successful anymore. That is a blow conventional people won’t take easily.

Awesome discussion.

People not accepting that other people got a easier time doing certain things than others is certainly a problem, but too much blaming isn’t good as well.

It doesn’t matter if they’re nerds or not. What matters is where society is swaying to.

I’ve just finished reading “A Hacker Manifesto” by McKenzie Wark. I recommend that as well.

Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.
