That seems a bit fatalistic, "we have lost so much because curl discontinued bug bounties". That's unfortunate, but it's very minor in the grand scheme of things. Also, the fault there lies squarely with charlatans who h

The presentation here was really interesting. It felt like reading a magazine story on something back in the day. Wasn't a huge fan of just how much I had to scroll sometimes, but still cool overall. It's really dishearting to ima

You love noise, interruptions, and a lack of privacy?

This is overly cynical without reason. CloudFlare is hardly "big tech" even if it is a "big" "tech" company. They have no record of killing or abusing open source projects.

That makes zero sense. You're aware that they get the client's actual IP upon connection? You're saying they have groups of servers with every possible permutation of censorship that they direct clients to through DNS? Absurd

Yes, because users don't like when things don't work, and they don't think about that time they blindly dismissed a permission notification and don't understand how to go undo that easily. So we make it easier for the us

Had nothing to do with spam, the argument by archive.today that they needed EDNS client subnet info made no sense, they aren't anycasting with edge servers in every ISP PoP.

I believe they're probably trying to get the blog suspended (automatically?) hence the cache busting; chewing through higher than normal resources all of a sudden might do the trick even if it doesn't actually take it offline.

Well technically a nuclear bomb would also degrade the jacket of fiber cabling pretty badly, but we don't really concern ourselves with that since it means you're dead and the house is gone anyways.

But in many ways, self-driving cars are better than or equal to the average driver. If I make a mistake once but am otherwise an exemplary driver, am I a bad driver? Same goes with these. The question isn't are they perfect (which is u

Feeling empathy (for a machine) is... psychopathic?

I absolutely believe that humans would drive on train tracks. There is no shortage of terrible, insane, ignorant, and purely self-interested drivers on the road. Just look at any dashcam video compilation! The difference, of course, is that

So Mac doesn't support DisplayPort MST like everyone else does (Windows and Linux have supported this STANDARD for years), because they are assholes and don't care about their users, and the fact that multi monitor support is diff

Oh god, I had a Mac for work recently and had to spend 3 weeks becoming an expert in Mac External Displays And Thunderbolt just to get my HP Thunderbolt 4 dock (officially compatible with Macs!) to use a dual monitor setup with it. Finally

I don't care if they're sponsoring it because they made a deal with the devil. It doesn't change the outcome for Tailwind or me.

I was honestly surprised they weren't already, given how heavily they use and promote it! Good to see they are helping out now too, though.

My understanding of modern Bose kit based on RTINGS reviews is that it's fairly competitive in its price range. Still a touch pricey for what you get, but not bad by any means—like 2nd/3rd best, and occasionally punching above its

At the time it was overhyped because just by adding .com to your company's name you could increase your valuation regardless of whether or not you had anything to do with the internet. Is that not stupid? I think my comparison is apt;

The AI bubble is kind of like the dot-com bubble in that it's a revolutionary technology that will certainly be a huge part of the future, but it's still overhyped (i.e. people are investing without regard for logic).

I don't mean this to come off as rude, but how much did you know about SELinux? Because in my experience, when people are "dealing with weird...issues" and "[finding] little value in it" they usually don't und

Well, they also provided a fake "employee badge" to the Verge, which Uber confirmed was fake.

Yeah...and the fact that they evidently had no responsible disclosure process and ghosted the reporter...for a security product?! Big yikes.

This is a non sequitur because "stability" in Debian has a specific meaning and Canonical also does things to ensure their release works properly.
