I've been using it for a year for one of their Ampere instances and haven't received any phone calls. Might be because I'm in the UK (region UK South (London)), I imagine they're much more call happy in countries where

As much as I do support free software, there is a limit. Just because I can run free software doesn't mean it's always the best option for me. Running your own servers isn't free, especially if the task is more specialist. Sa

I've noticed that channels tend to be used as a sort of garbage bin, such as the popular 'memes' channels. If any of your friends are insistent on spamming them constantly, you can just direct them to the waste channels to ig

It's funny that crappy is the same as stimulating, if the offices were perfect then there'd be nothing other than work to think about. I wonder if that's why I most enjoyed the school classrooms with oddest chairs and tables

It's not the government dictating the lawsuits, I was referencing the deal between Apple and Google to have Google as the default search engine on Safari.

I imagine that it could cause accusations from Apple that Google is trying to take their customers out of the ecosystem, putting a nice cash flow at risk.

They just all need to have the latest shiny thing, spurred on by the idea that a huge amount of abstraction is a good thing. Abstraction is great, our modern world wouldn't exist without them, but it's a website. Let's put ou

I wonder what would have to be done to turn it around. The B.S. detectors seem to be less effective during panic and stress, so marketing must be booming right now thanks to the pandemic.

I believe that people themselves aren't as gullible, but rather that we now know how to manipulate people much better. Huge companies like FAANGs only exist because of human manipulation, there's entire fields dedicated to manipul

The point is that people who choose an OS other than Windows or Mac tend to choose something based on Linux, and are usually technically skilled and submit much higher quality bug reports, more often. Linux users just care more about the ex

Seems as if they're willing to fight dirty over the internet, but not to do anything physically.

IFixit sells the battery [1] for £130, they also have a useful guide [2], though it being Apple, repair-ability is rated difficult and requires many tools, so an independent repair shop is probably your best bet. [1] https://stor

I was puzzled over why trampolining is used, so a quick look shows it was used for tracking notification clicks. Anybody know why these analytics are sometimes handled before the view instead of inside it?

People are bad with passwords, so while I understand that a single key to the kingdom is a nasty idea, it's better to have most people trust password managers. Better 1 bad password in 1 service than 1 bad password in 20 services, lowe

Very neat project, I hope it'll be used to prompt people of Windows versions of software.

Ah yes, the scientific debate. Honestly I thought it would occur elsewhere, such as in papers being published, with a book review being a watered down version for the more lay person, with less polarisation due to the aggregation of sources

This book review doesn't seem to agree with the book itself anywhere. It feels very polarised, for or against, isn't that the basis of flame wars?

This looks quite useful for scheduling promotions e.g. a video stream going live. Though that'd quickly end with certain accounts being just announcing bots, which isn't the point of social media

It'd be interesting to see if edge on Linux tries special tricks to force itself on the user, though they'd definitely have less sucess with that. Maybe it'll rewrite my bash profile and desktop entries

Really depends on your DB setup, ie if it's on a managed service or not. There's plenty of work done into intrusion detection if you're managing it.

What language is being used for configuration there? It looks surprisingly intuitive for code being mixed into a configuration file.
