I've got an old machine in my basement, google can't ban that, ha. <then comcast/xfinity went down...>

Automated account bans are the bane of internet existence today. I was banned from reddit for "bad behavior", I appealed and both times it's oops, there was nothing there, some automated system thought your comment was rude

I can't think of a way to mock all the ai hype more than what they actually just talk about. "Next, our hacker news AI agent reads and comments for you based on your commenting history, no need to think or do anything at all - we&

I'd suspect almost all drones lose significant range if wet or stormy. But in Ukraine the drone war seemed to go on all winter

another move is the trump admin trying to "prohibit" wifi points unless they are "approved".

Trump is making it worse, but there had been examples of bad behavior. Now the US is completely uncontrolled. I can't say we wouldn't do something like happened here (trying to stop a foreign company from selling stuff or developi

There's always two sides, but there's a power imbalance. One side includes two of the most powerful nation states (Israel and the US), plus the oligarch billionaires in the US on Israel's side. The people wanting to talk abou

This feels very different because there is no powerful political force trying to squelch discussion of colour or sardine. But there are lots of powerful folks trying to avoid discussions about Gaza or Palestine and related things. It's

The difference is ubiquitous surveillance, which is well known to lead to false positives and inhibits freedom and protest. A world where we are all under surveillance and people actually want to increase it is not a free world.

Yeah, I'll add that to my phone. what kind of scsi port, there are a few choices ;-)

But what if you don't steal anything but the system is messed up. I had a case where I bought multiple things at a big hardware store, self checkout of course, and on my ticket was something I didn't notice. Because I bought a lot

I do recognize that not having headphone jacks make it easier to waterproof phones.

Often big company drm software to read encrypted/drm files will have a time limit on it, where it will stop working if not updated - because they require knowing the current date. This is how they could block it. Dvd players didn'

And also the us not prosecuting those people in 1935is sadly a precursor of j6 in the US.

They are simply following along with the basically fascist direction of Trump, or maybe leading them.

I also want headphone jacks back - which I'm sure will be less popular here than batteries. We used to have waterproof phones with both. I'm not sure about the rules around required ability but I'd like that too

We have many restrictions on what spend our money on. You can't buy illegal drugs, you can't pay someone to kill someone else. You can't buy many different substances without permission of the govt like certain explosives. So

Watching some of the endless examples of police abusing their powers or committing crimes or obviously lying in the US on youtube videos has removed any ability to just trust police. In the US, because the police basically can always escala

Yes, I'd like to hear more of their background, because they seem very naive about writing software, adding to it, testing it, etc. You can't just whip up a replacement for salesforce using claude code. Who's going to fix the

I've had multiple "big companies" leak my randomly generated email addresses. I create a unique one for each such account, like say my airline frequent flyer account for delta, and I've had several of those leak. blah138

A few ways I've heard about - DuckDuckGo.com has a system that generates a random email address on their domain where you can request "a new email address" whenever you need one; you request a new alias and they create a per

Of course a new genre defining company can do what existing companies did and vastly increase the market if they make it better, more efficient, easier whatever. All taxi companies are not all transportation needs, not even on the road. Bus
