I still use an iPhone XS and that's one of my favorite features that it has, I use it all the time and it's a shame it's not still there, kind of holding me back from upgrading

I use an iPhone XS too. I love this feature & did not know it was 3D touch-specific.

I was wrong about the last part of my comment. It isn’t entirely 3D touch specific.

From the original post:

“Fast forward to today, the trackpad mode and selection feature technically still exist albeit in a lesser form. If you long press (aka hold down) on the spacebar of your touch screen keyboard (which works on iPad too) you can get into trackpad mode.”

Also confirmed by another commenter in this thread.

That isn't even close to what the author wrote. The "quote" reflects nothing of substance from the article.

I agree with the sentmient of doxxing neo-nazis, but leaking the data of millions of innocents who just use Epik as their regular DNS provider seems unnecessary

The problem described doesn’t apply at all with external password managers. Pass hosted in a git repo is still the best.

This is most likely bad news, unless privacy is the #0 priority

The status quo in many countries implies sending scans of your ID to many administrations and service providers, which is way worse.

Who are these people, and why do they get more say? I assumed their level of "trustworthy" comes from them consistently flagging content or issues of the platform and those reports being valid, as some sort of reputation system, and not some users being selected for more arbitrary reasons.

I could be wrong though.

Vanilla reputation systems don't optimize for "validity"; rather, they optimize for consensus--whatever opinions are popular get hyper-reinforced in tight feedback loops. If you believe that our society is irredeemably racist, then a vanilla reputation system will optimize for racism. Basically, the reputation system can't dictate what is valid--that has to be determined outside of the reputation system. In other words, set a clear, objective standard for "valid" content and use a reputation system that holds moderators accountable to that external definition of "validity".
