I assume not, but I figure someone does payment processing for them that an upset crowd could apply pressure to? I guess I was generally curious if people thought there'd be any sort of similar repercussion(s) toward Twitter though. I

I am sort of assuming this is related to this article? https://www.businessinsider.com/pittsburgh-synagogue-shootin... Is Twitter, who also gave him a forum and declined to censor or punish him for threatening tweets, being

Wow, so after it took them years to get U2F, you can only enroll one device? Is it still setup to require that you activate SMS 2FA too (thereby backdooring your entire 2FA process). I swear, I don't understand how Twitter is so utterl

The irony being that remembering that is almost guaranteedly easier than acquiring and installing mole on every machine where you may need to Port forward.

I don't know a single service worker or single former service worker that doesn't tip 15 or 20% as a minimum. Everywhere. The pay disparity between tech workers and service workers is so severe, it really pains and confuses me to

I mean this with love, but the project would possibly get more attention if there were regular, automated releases. The 0.10.x release is not really rebuiladble without patching cargo files which has made it hard for me to package it for ni

MS doesn't really have a role that focuses on the things you're talking about (though I'd really hoped the big DevAdvocate push would include "advocating on behlaf of devs" but doesn't seem that way) and they

Wow, (regarding that video you reference) this is the first time I've seen someone use an obvious mentally ill person to push their strawman representation of a perceived ideological opponent. >Sorry, I am not yet convinced. And th

I had unlinked my account using the officially supported method. It appeared to work. Months later, I noticed they were still updating my profile picture. I contacted them via Twitter. Four repeated explanations and screenshots later, they

I like being on the bleeding edge. My only Windows PC is a gaming machine, so I don't mind it updating frequently and/or needing babysitting (for example, the very latest flight added a HyperV adapter and broke my internet, despit

I'll chime in here with +1. It's why I refuse to mess with KFR anymore. Wound up in a situation with multiple directories with the same name appearing, with different file contents, with different behavior depending on how you acc

It's basically the only reason I didn't lose a bunch of data from this bug as an Insider - the "Libraries" and special "My Documents" folders are so damn messy and have caused me data loss at other times, that

Why do we need more of them when we already have a number that are capable of deploying into a home directory? As someone who has worked on software that has needed packaging, and someone who tries to help out with packaging for a distribut

As my comment implies, nix and nixpkgs can do what `linuxkit` does (in terms of image building, at least) but better and in a more powerful manner. I can create nix derivations that look like a linuxkit yaml, but instead of having a bunch o

The best part is that some people think 'brew' is a solid package manager and then show up in Linux and try to make 'linuxbrew' happen (no really, it is a thing). I just wish everyone would take a day and read an intro t

Do you know if they're collaborating with the Sway folks? The Sway folks, via wlroots, seem to have their own protocol for surface capturing. It sounds like there is a potential for an adapter that speaks Sway on one side and Pipewire

I'm not sure if `rpm-ostree` can (yet?), but NixOS can do the pivot with a live running system. It's a similar pivot/symlink-farm strategy.

Is it safe to assume that this is being done for Intel before AMD/Nvidia due to the more open nature of Intel's drivers? (I had thought AMDGPU was supposed to be better?) I'm just wondering if features like this can be used a

Painfully slow. If you load the interface, it becomes "mostly" functional, but if you start trying to say, search your email: 1. The page will reset and reload, or, 2. Your keys will trigger a keyboard shortcut and then truly, goo

I can't tell if people defending Linus's behavior are unaware of how overly abusive it was (not "to the point"), or are intentionally misportraying it in this thread. The things Linus has said on LKML would be fireable

And maybe if that functionality were in an optional extension it would be easier to add features to it for the users that want it. It's not as if it being an add-on has, in any way, hampered your ability to use it in Chrome. It's

I'm a huge fan too but it seems like Mozilla keeps dropping the ball on specific odd, "easy" things. The built-in screenshot tool makes it really easy to accidentally upload private information to a public inage sharing site

Maybe they've revised the flag, but the flag did not disable the feature as much as the text might lead you to believe. My comment from a couple weeks ago... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17943524

I don't see how it stands to reason that this is a function of large corporations. Rust has been further along this path given their relative ages and Mozilla is no where near the size or scope of Google. Likewise with a number of othe
