The horror of Apple: not just one repairshop, but a whole street full of them.

Another typically ungrateful and entitled comment about opensource on HN. Color me surprised. > Do these men think that time is free? Do you think they have endless time to plan a migration with minute detail for every possible usecase?

To add a voice in support of your comment, I agree with you. Amazon and others is why we can't have nice things. I'll quote Bill Burr here: > Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's right. And just because you

I think we all know which gatekeepers are going to land on the list and how happy they'll be to be on it. If this does more than just create a list and actually punishes gatekeepers for bad practices, I'll be impressed.

Yeah, only a few years late. Seems like a pretty fraudulent claim.

> Finally, I am also hounded by teams at Microsoft and Apple, who want me to port the extension to their new plugin ecosystems so it can be featured/showcased. Do they ask you to do that for free or is there a monetary amount they t

As much as I feel that Firefox isn't delivering, Brave just extends a browser engine monopoly which is dangerous for the web. Google can decide to change a fundamental part and suddenly 90% of all users will have it because they use th

It's pretty clear from the post that Amazon is not acting in good faith and very short-sighted. If they destroy ElasticSearch as a company, their foundation will erode: no more updates, no more improvements, no more bug fixes. All for

How does RISC factor into all of this? China is working on its own chips after Trump poked the bear. It wouldn't surprise me if, seemingly out of nowhere, they suddenly started promoting and selling RISC chips and compatible motherboar

Healthcare system? More like moneycare system. I like his idea and would've also been naive and idealistic to believe doctors want your best. However, you learn the hard way, even in Europe: doctors want your money. If they get a lot o

Instead we see how people go onto Facebook to get inseminated by strangers. People would literally rather be injected with somebody else's semen, go through 9 months of crazy hormones and multiple hours of the worst pain in their lives

Nothing is ever good enough, is it? No matter what is built you'll have people complaining about any aspect of it they can find. Most of them won't so anything more than that. They won't contribute a single thing, pat themsel

It might be solvable with an external identity server that keeps the ID + key of users, but then you just move the problem of trust to another party. Additionally, that ID+key would have to be updated somehow by the user and now you have a

Doesn't Google Chrome do that already (log everything) and still many people use it? And wasn't there a recent article about how programs couldn't be run on Big Sur because some server somewhere could verify the hash before i

I honestly think we shouldn't be writing a new protocol to replace email but repurposing an existing, safe protocol like Signal's protocol and writing an app that looks like an email app. Not only would it liberate Signal from cen

I agree, what for? I would rather reduce the wages of those richer than SWEs by taxing them more and using that to reduce housing prices, increase wages of health workers and educational staff, and pay for more social programs to get the po

I think the model you're describing is the flipped classroom [1]. If all course materials are put online and lessons consist of requiring pupils to prepare by using the materials and whatever else they can get elsewhere, it might actua

Nice community users: do your part! Don't just be a silent majority. Being nice doesn't mean being passive. If you see something wrong, make someone aware of it nicely and if they respond badly, flag or report them. Be nice, be ac

I remember trying this and it was OK. It didn't fit my needs however as I wanted to find forks of pages. Unfortunately that isn't possible and one can only navigate revisions backwards, not forwards. Quite a pity. I don't kno

If that's the price of reigning in US tech giants, so be it. Make planes and flight more expensive, in fact, please tax flights heavily and introduce a yearly limit. Then, use that money to expand the train network and promote it for l

Self hosted Matrix server? They also use jitsi for voice and chat, so I don't know if you have to set that up separately. Maybe they have an ansible role or docker-compose that does both.

I thought building housing for the homeless was a good solution. Of course if it's built in an expensive area and the construction company is expensive, they run out of money way before enough are built. 700k$ for one house? That'

Precisely, thank you. There are molten salt reactors [1] that are projected to be cheaper than light water reactors too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor
