Lol. T-Mobile has gotten good at flagging spam calls as "Scam Likely", but for the landline I do the same thing. (I don't believe landline carriers...at least in the US...were forced to implement Stir/Shaken, so it gets

Is there anything in MV3 that enforces signed code? Could a separate client that fetches block lists itself and then side loads them be the answer?

Indeed. Currently using an Android 13 Motorola until my Sony is fixed. It's not labeled RCS, but one of the first things I did was disable Messages Settings -> Chat Features -> Enable chat features - Use WiFi or data for messagin

Sorry you're feeling down. I've read/posted here for only a short while, but there were times in the past when interacting on some web board was the highlight of my day. In a way it's a shame HN doesn't allow PM&#x2

Going forward, it would seem like a good idea for the UK government to stop treating the removal of items from garbage bins as a crime. I'm no lawyer, but a quick web search suggests that nowhere in the US is "dumpster diving&quot

As a teenager/early 20's in the late 80's and early 90's I worked at a K-Mart style discount store. We employed up to four plainclothes "loss prevention" associates who absolutely could and did detain people fo

"I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one." - Mark Twain, et al. A codec bloated by megabytes to me is a little too close to a web site bloated by megabytes. It works...but isn't it al

I'm thinking about a corollary to Net Neutrality (which is allegedly coming back thanks to the new Biden-appointed FCC commissioner) which states that public web sites need to be accessible by the public. I've ranted about this a

An alternate paradigm? 20 years ago I mused over a law called the "Operating System Fairness Act", designed to level the playing field, mostly for smaller OS's. It's nowhere as revolutionary as separating hw development

I believe there is a Registry of sorts in Windows 3.1, but is largely empty. It was only in the Windows 95 era that it ballooned into what we have today. Coming (at the time) from an Amiga perspective I was bemused to realize that if 3.1&#x

It was once a thing for webmail services to have an option to integrate your various email accounts. Might there be any with a lightweight interface, that still offers this feature, and can log into Gmail? That could be another possibility

Thanks for explaining. Happy (for once) to hear that I'm negligible.

YMMV but as a teenager I devised my own low tech solution: I taught my cat her name. We lived in a rural-ish area with little traffic and a large wooded area behind the house. She would be outside for sometimes 10 hours/day and if I ev

I'm confused. What is the Android or app configuration necessary to enable this tracking? "Web and app activity", the only setting mentioned in the article, doesn't ring a bell. Is it all assuming the creation and use of

I worked with a Marl once and couldn't do more than look on in disbelief. This was on the job (tech company), not after hours or standing in a customer service queue. He wasn't the CEO, but maybe had more potential than I thought?

Cheers! I am gearing up for some OS4 coding eventually (need a PPC Amiga first), and am sure one or more of those books will be helpful. A shame the grandaddy Guru Book has yet to fall into "PD" status.

Slightly off topic, but possibly my biggest annoyance with web design is trying to find where the designer hid the Logout link. This, on a web site designed with endless negative space. I swear for a while the site of either my electric or

Completely agree: change for the sake of change. I held my breath for a while after Office 2007, hoping the Open/Libre Office developers wouldn't be tripping over themselves to implement the Ribbon, too. That they've held fas

Iceraven's reason for existence has been about allowing (pretty much?) all Firefox addons since day one. And about:config. Wish you hadn't downvoted him.

Long term, I can imagine this becoming a corollary to Net Neutrality. Whenever that finally becomes a thing, the next step could be a law/rule that "public web sites need to be accessible by the public". Not that developers n

Maybe some kind of public nuisance law applies then? Akamai knows their place and doesn't tell me to go pound sand when I'm trying to read somebody's obituary. Incidentally: legacy.com Ray ID: 7f3e7bad3afbb731 That's the

This post touched on something I was pondering recently: disappearing. If users of alternative browsers (Firefox apparently being one now) are more likely to block analytics scripts and more with uBlock Origin (etc.) then we've fallen
