Developers can store items in keychain on your device/icloud account that are only visible to the apps made by that developer (and not you). It is a feature that it works this way, and this whole concept is fucking insane to me.

I've seen a lot of people say that 501's got noticeably worse over the years. If you want good jeans buy traditional selvedge denim, you know the ones that can stand by themselves if you put them because they are so dense. Back th

So in this thread we have one person claiming out of nowhere that one attack on underwater infrastructure is definitely a false flag, and you are claiming that another one is definitely not a false flag, all without a shred of evidence. How

I'm sorry, what? It seems to me the reverse is true, manosphere is mainstream and it rejects anything woke, while even mentioning anything lgbt related on any mainstream platform is enough to get a bunch of people to try to remove it v

So you discount mozilla actually implementing and maintaining a separate multiplatform browser engine and a whole ass language for that and instead find more value in forking other people's work and adding rudimentary features on top o

It's rare enough to warrant a discussion in passing wherever I notice it. Usually people use it because they don't want google monopoly and I have not seen anyone have the kind of burning passion for looking into pockets of women

If you judge things based on hn threads, you'd think google is going to be bankrupt tomorrow while having 0 users. It is still the most popular search engine in the world.

I don't know how to be any more clear, as someone who used firefox since 3.0 and talked to plenty people irl who use firefox - the haters are a vocal minority that only exists on forums.

I can assure you, the amount of people who daily forks of ff is even smaller than the amount of people who hate Mitchell Baker.

If you are suggesting that people who still use firefox hate Mitchell Baker, you are mistaken.

My personal pet peeve is that buggy client will also not start streaming at maximum available quality and most likely has no selector for it either. I sure enjoy watching pixel soup instead of what's happening in the story for minutes

If you buy a phone in any place of this planet and then go to its app marketplace, you will likely see twitter as one of the most popular apps on it. I cannot seriously continue this conversation with someone who considers that to be same a

I would argue he's the first to just buy one of the biggest social platforms so that he can show his ass on it. Probably not the last one, that we can agree on.

If I remember correctly, Steve Jobs did try to maintain non-offensive outward persona. At least from what I remember, the people who he was an ass to were mainly people physically near him: family, coworkers. Scaling that to whole social pl

It is. A bunch of vocal people having loud opinions online doesn't really matter and that's what he demonstrates perfectly: people are mad, but tesla's are selling like hotcakes, spacex is still successful and his money keeps

In context of habr, even asking "why'd my internet/corporate vpn stopped working?" or "why did I suddenly get summoned for a medical checkup to enlistment office?" are politics.

You'd fit right in on habr, in a society specifically built to not discuss politics. Complimentary tumbleweed in comments included!

That post was a reaction to the war and a lot of people trying to talk about it and getting banned for it. It was one of the major exodus triggers after which the site was practically empty of engagement for months. Here's a link to co

I think there is also another issue on top of that - once you establish yourself as a big money maker (a part of FAANG), a lot of tech people start treating a position there as a way to pad resume or make a ton of money. I am convinced it w

HN guidelines has this to say about contents of your comment: Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

I don't use google mail much, but fastmail seems to be capable of making fine-grained judgements on transactional/promotional mail coming from the same address. I reckon google will be able to do it too, certainly easier than chan
