They do, but the fact that they have to do this means there are fewer bots because it's less economical to go to such lengths, compared to something much less complex (which is orders of magnitude cheaper).

So the state first mandates the cars exist, then mandates the cars be destroyed. Truly this is government efficiency at its finest.

I have spent a significant amount of time with all 3 OSes and Linux was by far the most functional and least broken. I haven't used Windows since Windows 10, though, but I have used macOS as recently as last year.

Yeah, if it was Linux it might actually be usable! I'm not sure how Apple acolytes can say this stuff seriously what with the deluge of complaints and completely broken features and terrible UI their own kind have been posting about it

SSH does have a certificate format that can place restrictions on what the user can do when connecting with that key. I'm not so sure about the hostkey side of things though. For example: https://smallstep.com/blog&#x2F

I don't have a strong opinion either way on the effect, but I do have to say that I always find it amusing how fatalistic HN can sometimes be over the most minor cosmetic inconveniences, couching them as "wasting (large amounts of

I was putting together a new PC in 2024 after not having built one for ~7 years, and browsing for motherboards, I kept saying "just give me an ugly green one, damn it!"

But you don't own it. X does. It's their service, they are free to apportion handles as they see fit. It is nothing like a house where you have an actual ownership claim through the deed.

It's less sketchy than third party underground sites, though, which is the alternative.

I can't believe X would take back the account of such an active and valued member of the community who is clearly not squatting on the name or anything.

I look forward to your blog post on how to implement "an API" without writing source code. It should be informative!

by arcfour 7mo ago
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but if you are suggesting that writing an "API", as is legally required in AB1043, can be done without writing code I would be interested to know how!

Code is speech, though, and is protected by the first amendment: see Bernstein v. United States. I don't think a cryptographic algorithm is "expressive" any more than it is purely functional; indeed, the 9th circuit evaluated

You have to configure your own Git client manually. But you can configure GitHub to block pushes from any email other than the no reply email GH generates for you.
