yorby | 8 years ago | on: How fast is AMP really?

Thanks. And I have a feeling that it would be much worst (aka better) for a mail.google.com inbox page, even if you keep the useful Javascript. But their javascript is so obfuscated that it is not too easy to test. One time I extracted a simple feature for gmail's javascript... it was fun (probably would be easier for a programmer though)

yorby | 8 years ago | on: TweetDelete – Automatically delete your posts that are older than a maximum age

This is false for comments... it is true for posts however.

Also, reddit once said that they only keep the latest version of a comment in their database (not sure if it is still true though).... so if you want to really delete a comment from reddit, you have to edit it to some random text and then delete it.

I never got AIM... I think around that time I had ICQ

yorby | 8 years ago | on: VPN leaks users’ IPs via WebRTC

Maybe the browser should not have access to your real IP when you are using a VPN? so it's the OS's fault?

How did I hide my Facebook activity from myself and my friends?

alternatively, you can block Facebook's tracking (poisoning data might be somewhat easy to spot automatically)
