Maybe I did. But what difference does it make? There's plenty of other instances where Apple has reportedly been bullied into action or inaction (being dissuaded from implementing E2EE for iCloud is one example). I've really just

I'm so done. I'm sorry to dump a pointless rant like this on HN but... what the hell is going on these days? Nobody seriously seems to care about legitimate privacy concerns anymore. If I were in a position of power, like being CE

For me the whole page is just some kind of abstract image captioned "MS Tech" with a tiny shred of the actual article at the bottom of my screen.

So it was quite literally introduced as a trojan horse. "We're so excited to bring you all these new features and bugfixes in iOS 14.3, plus one more thing you'll hear about and object to in future. Too bad."

The algorithm seems very simple. How does it perform compared with the Marr wavelet algorithm?

Well, yes, obviously the money doesn't vaporise. My question is whether these companies are taking a bearish position by investing into assets (instead of employees/new ventures), and whether this could be a sign of an economic st

I'm no economist, but companies putting their cash away into assets like this is a bad sign right? My understanding is that money flowing indicates a healthy economy of people unafraid to spend.

I heard Fedora recently started using this for password hashing in /etc/shadow. My question is - why? Argon2 is proven sturdy, well known, and there's many implementations of it. I could be wrong but I don't think this i

No, there's no confusion. I'm not happy to have my personal files scanned on my personal device that I paid for, simple as that. Apple aren't getting another penny from me.

I don't think replacing soft language is going to solve the complacency of the human collective.

The front page is a perfected outrage machine. I don't think even Twitter comes close to it.

I don't think the theory that consumption drives production holds true when talking about child pornography because the material can be copied infinitely, it's not a finite resource.

I don't know yet, I'm aware of the Librem 5 and Pinephone, the former being more attractive to me because of the isolated baseband modem. But let's be real, the user experience of these devices doesn't come close to an i

Wow I thought something felt weird when I looked at the screen then looked away. I'm not dyslexic or anything but looking at Twitter with that font almost makes my head hurt, not kidding.

There's a lot of nonsense in these comments that doesn't hold up to the most basic scrutiny. >Humanity is going to go extinct There's no evidence for that. A temperature rise of 2 degrees celsius is by no means a threat to

This has been said time and time again but packages should be namespaced. This problem was effectively solved decades ago by Java, and probably even further back than that. I seriously wonder what goes on at npm. They seem very active in ac

I'm disturbed by this ordeal and Apple don't seem to be backing down. I was thinking of getting one of the new MacBooks later this year but I think I've changed my mind - I won't buy products from a company that treats i

That's not really possible. iPhones require an iCloud account which even if not directly linked to you, serves as a pool of information that Apple can gather about you and work out your identity from. The second you switch on your phon

I don't know, would it? It requires fairly modern browser features that I don't remember the old school phones' browsers having.

The only thing I'd struggle to lose is a map (Google Maps/Apple Maps). For me, it's essential if I'm going somewhere unfamiliar.

I remember years ago when Firefox Quantum boasted of lofty performance improvements only to get pummelled in just about every benchmark against Chrome. I still check out Phoronix's benchmarks now and again and Firefox is consistently b

Catching child pornographers should not involve subjecting innocent people to scans and searches. Frankly, I don't care if this "CSAM" system is effective - I paid for the phone, it should operate for ME, not for the governme

It's very diffierent in the Apple ecosystem in my opinion. People are usually nonchalant, even excited about upgrading. I think that's how Microsoft want people in the Windows ecosystem to feel, but it's just not refined enou

Your mistake was bringing critical thinking with you when you clicked on a hyperlink to Twitter. The outrage machine spins another cycle.

Yep. I got rid of my headset when the account migration plans were announced but I've never heard of anybody else doing this. General consumers just don't care, even with all of the complaints about Facebook accounts being locked

I wish I could rejoice at the adoption of VR but I can only feel despair that Facebook of all companies is leading the way. I owned an Oculus CV1 for 2 years and loved it. It completely shifted my perspective on VR, changing me from a naysa

It's useless. It is a problem looking for a solution much like most "AI" tools these days. I am frankly frustrated at everyone buying into this stunt.
