  • No offence but comments like yours serve no purpose other than to impede non-tech-savvy people’s digital empowerment.

    I would argue that empowerment is more associated with capability rather than privacy or social justice (Whatever reason people are protesting Google); and having an all in one stop is incredibly convenient, and thus capable.


  • A pair of safety goggles that seal well against your eyes will help you a ton against tear gas. You’re still going to have breathing issues but you’ll avoid the eye pain.

    I used this trick when I needed to cut lots of onions.

    Gas masks just aren’t practical for large crowds due to the expense/training required. You’re looking at $150 new, filters being about $40+ new. Sure you can get surplus for cheaper if you can find it, but most people can’t, not enough to go around.

    Also filters should be replaced after being esposed to chemicals they’re designed to protect against. You probably could get away with using tear filters exposed to year gas.

    This is like switching from Walmart to 15 other stores just to buy the same stuff. It’s going to be extremely difficult to convince anyone to make this jump.

    It’s a actually harder because whoops, three years later you try to log into a service and it asks for a verification code sent to your Gmail address that you no longer have access to, oh well.









  • Unless you’re Skyrim you can’t just reskin a thing and release it. I think the problem is there’s either poor marketing, or nothing new here.

    In order to oust a competitor, and take their audience you need to be a more than a little better than the previous game. You need to be A LOT better for people to leave behind the familiarity, the time invested, and the community.
