Good guy Canada establishing a migration route for Human Rights Defenders. I'm actually shocked this is an apparent first in the world.

@nikolal Also concerning it basically only lets you specify which group to share but no other restrictions on what application can access it or which fields are visible to the application. Sure it pops a notification but if I'm looking away that doesn't help me.

@nikolal Have you tried using it with Firefox or Chromium like the article suggests is possible? Neither seem to have an option to integrate with the secret API and instead use their own storage.

@nikolal Oh nice. I didn't realise this was properly integrated now. I have still been using the autotype feature.

@resist1984 Probably could have just looked at the HTTP response code unless they were not sending that correctly either.

Yes let's throw the entire GNU ecosystem out while we are at it because you don't agree with Stallman. I hope you aren't using GNU/Linux otherwise you obviously support him too.

@foreverxml
It is if the destination source is licensed differently though no? Although in such small snippets its going to be hard to show any direct derivation.

@robertcc
It'll be interesting to see if it actually reduces average payments overall too. Now that they are taking a minimum percentage cut I am much less likely to pay over the minimum value like I normally would. I'll put my dollars to direct donation instead but overall this will hurt the charities.

@foreverxml
I don't understand how they aren't respecting licenses when mining this code. Seems like a nightmare for the MS legal department if true.

@robertcc
Gathering a cut to cover infrastructure and other expenses seems perfectly reasonable. 30% seems excessive though. Still a great service for devs, consumers, and charities so I'm not mad.

πŸ’― And for good reason. Every time the search shows it is a marketing number. Anyone who wants to contact me will IM or email.

@dsfgs
Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea about the purchase and subsequent changes to the privacy policy. Uninstalling from all my machines ASAP.

@seb
Yeah, this is going to be chaos. Forming a trust network with hundreds of other companies via one entity - what could go wrong ?

@a
Fair point on intention and humor! You seem like you can handle yourself. As long as you are all cool with it.

@CKsTechnologyNews
Reminds me of Pinpoint. I loved that software but writing presentations in markdown never really took off.

@polychrome
I think that was the entire reason it was up against the wall. If it had anything that wasn't a plain texture behind it then people would realise how dumb and unusable it is.

@fdroidorg @AntennaPod
Love this project! The streaming has been a bit flaky for me; but, it's great if I just download the episodes first. Recommend to all podcast listeners, not just those who want a FOSS option.

The way that @duckduckgo@twitter.com render ads now is borderline deceptive. They look just like normal results with a little [AD] next to the title. Can't they at least shade the background or something? I know they need to make money somehow but don't use dark patterns to try to trick me into clicking on the ads.
