By auto-update I mean it opens a prompt asking you to update. If you choose not to update it eventually stops working because they change the protocol periodically.

vscode is open source but many of the most interesting features are proprietary, making the use of anything but the official build impossible for many use cases. A few weeks ago I investigated using an embedded version of vscode to create c

The Google Pixel phones are the easiest to run alternative Android roms on because Google provides the sources and allow you to unlock the bootloader. They also pay Qualcomm more so you can re-lock the bootloader. The Pinephone is great but

It's all I've ever used. I think it works great but I think your experience will depend heavily on your expectations. I don't use any proprietary apps and only install them from fdroid or build them myself. But if you do, you

I agree it should be implemented but it could be implemented differently. Just like zoned datetimes are represented as a UTC time + timezone. UTC could be represented as TAI timestamp + leap seconds.

by dmm 5y ago
I would argue UTC timestamps are still ambiguous, just in a different way. How many seconds between now and 2038-01-01T00:00:00? It's impossible to say because we can't predict future leap seconds. Many uses of future times are al

Be careful with browser extensions. The edge old reddit redirect extension was malware and because they autoupdate your safety is dependent on the extension author refusing near-daily offers to sell out. https://news.ycombinator.

Do you lock the doors on your house? Why bother? Someone could break a window? Security is about identifying and mitigating threat models. For example, if you're concerned with mass surveillance an encrypted messenger will stop that.
