I really think so. They are forcing everybody into their services.

g-garron | 5 years ago | on: iOS 14 will let you change your default email and web browser apps
Android gives one more freedom here and there, but tracks you more.
At the very end we are tied to Google or Apple, and that is bad.

Ok. I’ll wait till then before buying my new Laptop.
g-garron | 5 years ago | on: Most employees of NYT won’t be required back in physical offices until 2021
Some people just do not understand that employees are more productive if they are comfortable. They think employees need an eye behind its back in order to produce.
And if it is that way, it is their fault, they have chosen bad when hiring.
g-garron | 5 years ago | on: Introducing Facebook Shops
You are right, it is a great move. I do not like it either, nor use it, except when I need to find small commerce sites in my city. I know they do not have their own webpages, so it is useless to look them on Google, but they all have a Facebook Fan Page.
With this move, Facebook will get even more business, and less and less small companies will see the need to build and maintain their own sites.
It is also a great move against Shopify

You mean Linus Torvalds?
Or Linux, Linux can’t be bought

For those who want to read blogs.
Here are some of them, a feed with lots of them.
g-garron | 11 years ago | on: If you are storing important info in Evernote, think twice
Keep all important data with you, both in your PC (better encrypted) and in an external disk (backup).
If you are really paranoid, you may backup it in the cloud too, S3, Dropbox or any other service.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Goodbye Google Analytics. Hello Piwik
Hi, realized about this post here in HN thanks to Piwik.
I am the author of the post Tony is linking at the top of his post, and I also use Piwik, where I saw my article was with 300+ visits instead of the 20+ it gets daily. :)
Piwik is great, and I use it to track visits to a few sites I own, all of them are some 6000 page views per day, so no real traffic.
Because my site is powered by Jekyll, I also use vanilla forums as commenting system, so no Disqus or Intense Debate either :)
Have a nice day, and thanks Tony for the link and credit .

I am bolivian and live in Bolivia, this is one of the most accurate comments about my country I've read from a foreign.
If you have questions about how is here, I will try to be as objective as I can. (Disclaimer: I am not into politics, I am a geek/hacker :) ).
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
The title here in HN. It was originally "Don't expose your visitors to tracking. Use share links instead of Java scripts"
It was then edited (by a moderator I assume) to reflect the actual title of the post.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Nice. thanks.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
That is why I said, I am thinking about not serving scripts from CDNs, at least not from public CDNs.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Thanks for the advice. I will change them later.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
You are right. The web today is full of scripts and is slow sites.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Can you give me your website url, please?
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Thanks, changing it now.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Thanks.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
:(
At least I am trying to do my part. And that is the only thing I can do.
g-garron | 12 years ago | on: Why to use Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus share links and not buttons
Sorry, you are right. it is NetDNA's
From the performance point of view is better to use that public CDN. But they have control over the javascript, and they may change it at anytime. Maybe too paranoid, so just thinking about it.
