    @clacke I don't know, since I havn't investigated it in detail. But I am sure that whenever I try to re-join FSF or buy anything from their shop by bank account gets suspended immediately and I have to go through a procedure to unsuspend it. That doesn't happen with any other site that I've used which involved a payment.

    Does anyone have experience with the HRNGs which FSF is selling in its shop. I would order one to test, but my bank definitely does not like FSF and refuses any transactions with it.

    @solariiknight DDG is a metasearch engine. So it uses other search engines and systems to gather the results, including from places like Microsoft Bing.

    @mmn the lesson of history is that companies will initially adopt open standards because there's already a user base, but usually then after a few years transition their users to a closed protocol in order to lock them in.

    Microsoft Windows exceeded my BS threshold long ago. That's why I don't use it, except perhaps on rare occasions at work. I also no longer support Windows users. I just say something like "I can install a version of Linux, but if you want to carry on with Windows then you're on your own"

    2016 has been my year of Tor. Previously I didn't use it much, but now I use it almost exclusively (including in Emacs).

    I tend to ignore anything blockchain-based, because as we can see with Bitcoin if it becomes popular then after a while it also becomes centralised, because only a few people can do block solving.

    When block solving is controlled by a small group, then all sorts of bad things can happen, such as false transactions, censored transactions and so on.

    So I think blockchains with proof of work aren't viable as a decentralization method - or at best they're only viable for a short time period while block solving difficulty is low enough that consensus provides protection against bad actors.

    At the risk of attracting haters, one of the clips in the ORG film this evening was from this speech by Jake Appelbaum.
