Given OpenAI and Anthropic's behavior, do you really expect them to be singled out for this practice? Zero trust has been in "LGTM" territory for years now. Meta's bet against people taking a principled stance arguably

If "can be nice" is the bar of quality we hold ads to, then all advertisement passes the bar. A lot of newspaper ads were for luxury tchotchkes, cigarettes, booze or gambling. Back then, advertisements had some pretty substantia

Publicity stunts like this are why I deliberately avoid SaaS products like 1Password, even if it's nicer than my Keepass workflow. When you can see a train like this coming down the tracks, you get off the rails ASAP.

I don't trust Brave to fight the good fight against Google. Brave wants to sell their own ads and push Web3 slop, making them an ethical tarpit with questionable motivations.

Opposing that logic, we should only support 1 or 2 GPUs (just like consoles) and lock down Windows to run nothing but games. Then the problem will actually be solved, like on PS5 and XBox! Really, "stopping cheaters" is a slippe

> How do you expect them to pay their developers? Ethically, for one. I'll be fucked if you expect me to "donate" to a browser that thinks my friends and family deserve a lower-quality browser experience.

You're conceding my exact point back to me. Linux-compatible anticheat uses many of the same pre-TPM measures that Windows 10 used to combat software cheating, and prevents the 95% majority of software hacks and process injection. The

It's largely 4chan "look what they took from you" cultural panic newspeak, either ironically or unironically. "sovl" has been variously used to describe LaserDisc, summer camp, bench seat trucks and the McRib.

Wine works fine with many DAWs. Not sure where you're getting this information from. Ableton Live has worked on Wine for close to 2 decades now. WineHQ has positive run reports dating back to 2006: https://appdb.winehq.org&#

On macOS, it often means the opposite. Natively compiled games like Portal 2 stopped working when Apple depreciated 32-bit libraries and transitioned to Metal. This is why Proton is so important, since the games are theoretically supporte

Bitwig natively supports Linux. I bought a license a while ago and while the cost is steep, I don't regret it at all. The downsides are going to be the bland cross-platform UI and the general lack of plugin support on Linux. But the up

I had a good number of hours in Minecraft Classic's browser version, mostly in online servers though. Solo wasn't much fun. Modern Minecraft is still not much of an appeal to me without mods. I'm happy to see more block games

The realpolitik is not lost on American HN readers. It's like you say - there's a balance between maintaining a competitive economy and a fair one. In this instance, should we let AdSense persist as a platform? It does turn out lo

macOS has changed a lot more than Windows or Linux did in the last decade. It's hardly Tarn's fault, here.

The game runs fine in Proton, including with dfhack. You can probably get it working on your Mac with a tiny bit of Crossover/Wine/GPTK tweaking.

For prefill, it's basically all that matters. Long-horizon agent tasks, session compaction, file reads and context manipulation will all hit the compute bottleneck in regular usage, incurring several minutes of latency on most Apple

Minecraft's early game is relatively boring. Empty busywork like punching trees, village raids and strip mining are vestigial gameplay loops that neither Mojang nor Microsoft had the confidence to fix. I'd agree that they're

FWIW, the reported reason for OpenAI buying Macs has nothing to do with the memory by the sounds of it. Every single outlet I can find reporting on this seems to repeat that the intended use case is for agentic workloads and generating trai

This is pretty cut-and-dried, nowadays. Linux distros are Linux, often GNU+Linux+etc.. Windows and macOS users are indeed running NT and Mach underneath. The year of the NT kernel was 2001, when most people used it. Android is typically not

If you're not going to use rootless containers, then you simply cannot ship the rootful solution as default in a desktop operating system. There's absolutely meat on the bones regarding root/rootlessness, but that's no

It's easy to disable rootful Docker support in an ISO, but much harder to fix the vulnerable installations. That is not the system working as intended. And sadly, this stuff isn't bewildering at all. We saw it happen with LARBS,
