I'm surprised but happy to see you and so many others here saying this. In recent years it seemed like this 'hacker' community was all about Apple devices, but now that Google is going partway in the same direction, people ar

Does it work for you guys to go to about and then click on the "list" link? For me it says I'm blocked due to hitting a "secondary" rate limit (don't understand what that means). I don't think I've op

There's a lot of things you could do to be malicious towards other people with minimal effort, yet strangely few people do it. Virtually everyone has morals, and most people's are quite compatible with society (hence we have a s

I didn't see it was satire (having only skimmed the site) until scrolling through the comments and seeing this fake review being quoted. That's when I went "surely not", checked the site, saw it was really there, and was

Seems to be convention. If you search for "Russian war", the top hit is "Ukraine war", second hit "Ukraine-Russia war". Most results seem to mention both parties but when brevity is needed, the place where it&#

"just develop a personality" sounds like a shallow dismissal. Most comments in most threads could theoretically be autogenerated when given style samples of what fits on HN and what opinion to use A personality hardly shows throug

I could see the comparison to hobbies which pollute the environment, but in general people do tend to vote for reducing freedom where it harms others

And here I am turning my computer off at night for energy consumption, while others run a few extra ones for... for what, anyway? If you're working on problems real people are having (diseases, climate change, poverty, etc.) then sure,

I'm not sure where you think goalposts were moved (especially since my initial response was "we've had this conversation"; it's not a new position when they keep reposting the same fallacies) or what makes you think

Yeah they're not very popular, partly because they're not very powerful: it's always multiple-choice, answer order doesn't randomise, and I don't think you can see how many unique people even voted (which can vary w

What nonsense. I certainly feel like a medieval peasant sitting in a high speed train crossing a large country while I read a book for a few hours, costing three hours of work at the median salary if you book your ticket far enough ahead. (

More extreme weather events are a consequence I've seen mentioned before, as the main thing to expect besides a slightly higher average temperature. Is that what you mean by unpredictable?

Is that still higher entropy when you already (necessarily) have the IP address? 225.12.3.11 sends two requests, both with accept-language nl_BE 226.4.5.244 sends two requests, one with age bracket 13–15 and one with bracket 18+ Which group

This approach makes sense to me, though I'd expand password to be a broader term because people might prefer different authentication methods or approving a request to install software from their own device or so

In your opinion, who should be in charge of the OS? Can I make my own (where you select an age per user upon installing the machine and upon creating subsequent users), or must it be government-sanctioned such that the age verification is w

You mean a dedicated license that proves the holder is over 18, separate from your identity such that it's not usable for tracking or identity theft when the verification platform gets hacked?

A failure of management can still lead to a successful business for a variety of reasons, ranging from an in-demand product and lucky timing to great employees. Bad parenting with a great child or a great school might, too, lead to positive

I thought it was a typo but I see you've replied elsewhere that these really are the two options > I've seen it go both ways where children with freedom [turn bad] and sheltered kids turn [good] So you've seen it one way,

How to avoid that survivorship bias though? I'm sure a study can follow kids or look in records, but that takes serious time, so I can understand looking at oneself and everyone you know and coming to a conclusion that way. Do you know

I read it in the same way. What did you mean instead?

Thanks for the answer! Interesting that this stops people. It could be correct of course, I just can't think of anything that would cause it to work on Lineage but not Graphene. They're very fast about upgrading to the latest vers

by Aachen 8mo ago
Any idea why any app that works on Lineage would not also work on Graphene, provided you are okay enabling the exploit compatibility toggles where necessary?

GrapheneOS evidently wants to helping people manage threat actors in their life. Having a terminal with full control of your own hardware would help with that goal because it lets you further control what your device and the software thereo

Read what I wrote, "demanding" was addressed (though with the word obligation, functionally the same here): > and Graphene is under no obligation to provide anything to anyone. And here I thought it felt repetitive between (s
