It even allows you to see satelite pictures of other planets! I'm not sure how old is that feature, but it's awesome.

You just have to unzoom far away from earth and it'll show you a menu where you can choose where you want to go.

And interior of the ISS :). Thanks, that was a fantastic journey!


I got clickbaited. I thought it's about ad blocking in general, but it's actually an ad of great piece of tool which is uBlock Origin that I already use.


I like mpv the most. It's simple, but still has everything you need (and you can do rest with the keyboard shortcuts), and it's pretty. In my opinion, however, the problem with Netflix player, is not its design. It's that it's pretty laggy, it is not nearly as smooth as for example YouTube player.


Yeah, IE and Edge are the only browsers with PlayReady DRM. Rest of them (besides Apple devices) are using Widevine DRM.


They support PGP, so you can use this.


They support PGP keys, but I don't think anything in the keybase UI or proofs will reflect key certifications made in PGP's web of trust. You can "track" people, but that's not the same thing.

It should be possible to augment the existing proofs with the WoT relationships, which could be valuable in a small number of cases.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if more people started using Keybase because of this one blog post, than have ever used PGP's web of trust features.


I don't even use Google, I use my own searx instance instead. Completely unpersonalized, and completely private. And I feel that it's better this way, cause privacy does matter.


I just use my old Britannica CDs. Completely private.


Using DuckDuckGo is fine for let say 98% of my searches (most of them probably IT related). For the rest, I go to Google or Bing or others. Is there Britannica on flash drives? I should add it to those 2%.


Wikipedia can be downloaded in its entirety in an easy to use package. For STEM articles, it's better than Britannica (and cheaper too).


I wouldn't trust Google in anything, especially opt-outs.


Do you actually believe it will delete anything? You're wrong. NSA would still get the data, and so would Google for marketing purposes. It's just to calm privacy-aware, but not techsavvy users.


If you don't want the NSA to gather information on you, the GDPR will not address that.


If it is illegal for google to collect the data, then the NSA can't force them to or subpoena the non-existent files.


The NSA will collect it on the wire anyway. They have drilled in and tapped underground fibre optic cables on private networks behind HTTPS load balancers before, and simply captured what they want.
