the people on these communities creates their alternative reality. selectively avoid news/information that can burst their bubble. its the same with /r/politics. both living in massive bubbles with complete opposite realities.

the difference is that r/the_donald is more violent. They cordinate gatherings, "attacks", a violent protests.

r/politics which is liberal bubble is more peaceful but both these communites censor opposing views and is dangerous to democracy

Where does the line between blocking illegal content vs censorship go?

In the western world we would probably allow ISPs to block sites that promote traditions that we do not see as normal. For example; in some east asian countries they eat dogs during festival. Websites selling dog meat shipping to western countries would be blocked in my country.

Why can't India censor websites than promote values they dont agree with? Or Russia?

Every country and people are unique and they have different values. We shouldnt try to assimilate those.

I am tired of this 2trillion company becoming too strong. Screw them. I aint gonna develop for them anymore. Parasites. Got this mail from Apple:

Dear Developer,

Compatible iOS and iPadOS apps will automatically appear on the Mac App Store when the first Apple silicon Macs become available this year. However, we noticed the following issues with one or more of your apps that are opted in to appear.

The following apps will not be made available on the Mac App Store until you address the issues and select Make this app available on Mac in the app's Pricing and Availability section of App Store Connect.

Microsoft has to reverse this takedown. Even though it is called "youtube-dl", it also is for downloading videoes on hundres of other video platforms! Many, as stated in this article, use it for research purposes and investigative journalism.

Why do companies like MS, Google, Amazon etc acquire smaller companies if they cant protect the values these small companies stand for and made them attractive in first place.

I think even if 99% of google users have strict privacy, this tool is still worth it for data brokers as they can run email lists of millions of users.

And every data about a user that can be connected to the rest of the master data is gold as its all about the network effect.

here is a good example. The white box is from a publically available dataleak of a site called SexDating.se. its 10 years old db. but still i managed to extract the name of the person even though the original DB had no identifiers apart from this gmail.

wait untill more people use Apple Pay, they will be taking their infamous 30% fees. Either from you or the merchant.

sidenote: Apple Pay is being blocked by major Norwegian banks because Apple refuses to let banks create competitor payment app with NFC.

this is so confusing. .net core

.net (before core)

.netstandard 2.1

.net 5
