For those that are new, you may not know that I've been nominated for the #HackerNoon Noonie Awards. It's the last few days to vote, and if you could it would help me out so much!

Over the last 2 years, onion service usability has become a primary feature of Tor Browser. The security and improved usability of onion services are the reason we can run an onion adoption campaign like #MoreOnionsPorfavor.

Come Back with a Warrant for my Virtual House

Jeremy Bentham believed that transparency had moral value. For example, journalism puts power-holders under moral scrutiny. He wanted such transparency to apply to everyone. Imagine the world as a gymnasium in which each "gesture, every turn of limb or feature, in those whose motions have a visible impact on the general happiness, will be noticed and marked down." He considered surveillance and transparency to be useful ways of generating understanding and improvements for people's lives.

where were you when you found out the UK's track and trace software (which cost 12 billion quid) has excel as a backing database
sadly there is a backlog of cases which were untracked because they exceeded the excel row limit
worry not, they have solved the problem and are now using two excel files to keep track of people
@syntax I have thought about it, but haven't enacted upon anything yet...
Just switched from andOTP to Aegis due to @lynn_stephenson 's recommendation. I'm loving it so far!
