Can also try: https://farside.link/https://twitter.com/TimMLatimer/status/... to use a random (functional) Nitter instance. Helps spread traffic around a little more evenly.

I really appreciate the voice directions given by Apple Maps when navigating. Instructions such as “go past this light, then at the next one turn right” are so much more helpful than Google’s “in 1000 ft, turn right”.

Maybe a little off topic, but I'm curious -- why are all of the Actually Portable programs always named with ".com" at the end? Does this have any special purpose?

Hmmm. Not to sound overly skeptical, but I find it a little weird that in none of the images/video the watch itself has a band attached to it. Did the wearer take off the band after it started overheating? If so, why? I personally have

I generally don't see any appeal to in-app browsers in the first place. They often have extremely broken navigation controls (i.e. attempting to swipe back to a previous page usually just returns back to the app), block the ability to

Haven’t used Libredirect, but there’s also https://farside.link (on GitHub: https://github.com/benbusby/farside ). Not an extension, but it redirects to an active instance for most privacy friendly front end

A login-required terminal that sends telemetry to multiple sources is on the front page...why? Is it just because it's written in Rust? I don't see any other reason. It's not even fully open source. > After 20 years of pro

As if the pointless prodding of “any updates? :)” is ever called for. If there were any updates, there would be fucking updates posted. I frequently get comments like this in projects they I maintain, sometimes less than a day after the iss

HackTheBox (hackthebox.eu) has some great reverse engineering challenges that you can learn a lot from, and have a clear difficulty progression. The non-retired challenges are all free with a basic account, but if you're starting from

Oh wow, this truly rattles me to my core and I will never look at things the same ever again... ...said (hopefully) no one. Why is "Google being shady" news anymore? No amount of education on the topic ever seems to change anyone&

Alright so lots of people are saying certs aren’t worth it here. But as someone desperately trying to pivot from software development (5 year exp) to anything security related (which I find far more interesting), how are you supposed to do

Wait people were fooled by the "don't be evil" thing? That's just willful ignorance, in my opinion. I don't fault anyone for wanting to work at Google. The pay and reputation it carries are hard to ignore. But anyon

I feel like at that number Reddit is in the goldilocks zone for being a useful social media platform -- big enough that there is tons of engagement, but small enough to not drown out anyone. If I want to, I can make a post about a hobby pro
