Well confined in their instances for now. Wait until .ml and the Grad starts overflowing.

I loved the the interface design to be honest despite it being a closed OS just like Apple. Window Phone and Firefox OS going down the drain were the biggest disappointments.

A tragedy for the family and the colleagues. On the other hand, Putin's cronies were killing their own journalists digging up dirts around the Chechen wars. Nothing to be surprised from those gangsters who took over a gas station.

Two letters TLD like .io are ISO country codes. Catalonia's .cat is a generic TLD in comparison. Since .io stands for the British Indian Ocean Territory and Chagos Island isn't going to be 'separate' anymore by becoming part of Mauritius, IANA's logic is that the ccTLD has to be retired. That .su is still around after the collapse of USSR isn't a valid argument for them.

I have enough PTSD from the aptly named TouchWiz era. I simply can't imagine all those Samsung executives nodding approvingly with the powerpoint presentation in their offices.

I enjoy occasional co-op gaming with people I know personally. Faceless strangers teabagging me and throwing racist insults like raging 13 year olds who just got addicted to Mountain Dew? No thanks bud, I'd rather spend an entire day scrolling through Netflix catalogues without actually watching them or something.

They probably did that to prevent "concerned citizens" from attacking their property.

If only banks and government websites moved their asses and stopped mentioning Internet Explorer for one more time...

Implementing an in-house encryption was raising eyebrows already back then. No e2ee as default was also a red flag since it gives users without proper knowledge a false sense of security.

An unintended benefit of using Qubes is that everything is a virtual machine and physical disks have to be manually attached to a vm before doing operations like dd. I haven't had to worry about accidentally nuking my main partition for a while.
