This says it all really. Apple clearly won't risk losing profits while pushing a veneer of privacy. I have no trust in it at all.

I often use whatismyip.akamai.com as a reliable "what's my IP" service but unfortunately it isn't configured correctly for HTTPS.

I read books very rarely because embarrassingly I find it difficult. My job is basically skim reading docs, so when I try to read a book I find myself going into autopilot and read pages upon pages without actually absorbing anything. I fin

It's horrifying that Jenkins is still the industry standard. The whole thing is poorly documented and full of cruft and vulnerabilities. But there is nothing out there as flexible to my knowledge.

C'est bon. I'd change Current to Present though.

That sounds like a problem that could be solved with a lanyard.

I'm still having trouble understanding the purpose of these things. There are way too many unethical applications of this technology, and what kind of person loses things so often that they need to buy trackers?

What is there to compete for? Video hosting is a money-losing business unless you have exclusives, like Floatplane.

The code they're shedding off is drivers. They won't ever get rid of old syscalls because Linus refuses to break userspace, ever.

My concern is not about what my flavor of kernel includes. It's about the size of the codebase, and whether the limited number of maintainers can keep up with the countless features being introduced.

This might get me some angry replies, but does the feature set of Linux ever end? Will there ever be a day where someone says "you know what, Linux isn't built for this and your code adds too much complexity, let's not".

Even if nobody wanted to work for them, they'd just offer even better salaries until people did. Punish the politicians who allow this unethical software. Punish the CEOs and managers who make it happen. But don't punish the guys

I don't like the suggestion that rewrites are based on lack of knowledge or insight. As requirements change over time, past assumptions and architectural decisions also accrete. Unless you're in a company with strong engineering c

One of my GDPR data downloads contained a list of programs I had ran along with the command line arguments. Not sure how you can explain that if it's not sent to the server.

by c7DJTLrn 6y ago
It sends a list of running programs, including the command line arguments to the server. It's worrying because although it's bad practice some programs get passed credentials like this. With regards to Discord's invasion of p

That's interesting, thanks for the tip. I would hope they would have a sort of garbage collection that deletes orphaned messages, but this is Discord we're talking about.
771.
by c7DJTLrn 6y ago
It's not a silver bullet of course. Discord, for instance, just 'anonymises' message history by renaming your account to Deleted User. But most people's message history is enough to deanonymise them, making that complete

by c7DJTLrn 6y ago
Disagree. One of the big selling points of Rust is the safety guarantees you get unless you use the escape hatch, which should only be used conservatively. When you add third-party code, you are trusting that the maintainers of that code ha

For every rational person like you who realises their mistake and decides to collect facts first in future, there are 100 others too angry or too obtuse to admit they made a mistake in the first place. Senseless cancel culture needs to stop

How is refusing a vaccine putting anyone else at risk if the people around them are vaccinated? The popular vaccines are highly efficacious and enough to make herd immunity kick in. I don't know how I can make you see that it is precis

That's not comparable at all. Taxes are payments that a citizen is morally and legally obliged to pay the state for upkeep and services. Not paying taxes is essentially stealing from others. There is no moral or legal obligation to hav

And although it's not relevant, the whole vaccine passport thing is turning me against it. I don't see why everybody should be required to have something injected into their body to live their lives as normal, especially given tha

You are making a common conflation when talking about VR. Better specs does not mean better technology. Sure, the Index looks better on paper right now, but in 2-3 years it will be an unthinkable purchase. There is a limit to how high the r
