There are ways to tell if an image is real, if it's been signed cryptographically by the camera for example, but increasingly it probably won't be possible to tell if something is fake. Even if there's some kind of hidden wat

I understand there are nuances here, and I may be oversimplifying, but if part of the contract effectively says "You must act as a proxy for npmjs.com" yet the site has been returning 500 Cloudflare errors across all regions sever

This is weird - at this level contracts are supposed to be rock solid so why wouldn't they require accurate status reporting? That's trivial to implement, and you can even require to have it on a neutral third-party like UptimeRob

Maybe because in airports people are sometimes required to walk long distances to go from one point to another, while in a city there are public transport, bicycles, taxis, etc. plenty of other options so walking long distances is usually n

Congratulations on the release Johan! We definitely need alternatives to Nextcloud and looks like Sync-in could do that job and more. Does it currently support plugins, or is it planned?

Is that macOS and Apple Silicon only? In this case indeed it's a no-brainer not to use Electron (why even use it in the first place?). If you ever want to support Intel processors, Linux and its many variants and Windows that will be a

Would be more interesting if the link was encrypted client-side using the provided key. That wouldn't change the UX much and it means you can guarantee that the shared URL will remain private. But anyway I'd expect if someone is n

I can't find the reference now, but I think I read somewhere it only redirects when the user got there by clicking on an ad. In that case it would make a bit more sense - the script essentially swaps the intended ad target to that spor

One example is the calendar that keeps getting worse release after release, so much that I had to switch to macOS calendar. Global Inbox also got broken several years ago and never fixed, since it seems all their energy goes into making thi

I don't know if that's his use case, but we had many users tell us they share their account with other users so they want the data to be encrypted even when logged in. Of course if they share their computer, someone could install

If AWS and other cloud providers gave if only 0.1% of the profit they generate out of these open source projects back to the developers we probably wouldn't have this problem. Unfortunately they don't and it's only fair that

Getting a chargeback in Stripe is costly. As soon as a dispute is started there's a fixed $25 that won't be refunded even if you win the dispute. So for a service at $4 a month which is likely to get a lot of fraudulent payments I

Shouldn't use the term "web browser" when it's Chrome-only.

Not really, there's a lot of "perhaps" and "maybe" in those sentences unlike in the title. And indeed there's no reason to think dark UX patterns do not work in the long run - Google, Microsoft, Facebook and ma

I flagged the post which I guess is what flags are for? (And somehow the author made it to front page but is not here to discuss his app as would be also be expected for a "Show HN" post)

Doesn't qualify as a "Show HN" - it's already been posted twice in the past few years and there's been no updates for more than a year [0]. Sounds like an attempt to get a few clicks by labelling it as "Show HN

This is a strange article. I think the relevant part is "Because I like it", which is absolutely fine, that seems like a fun project. But whatever problem he's identified has already been solved in many different other ways.

I'm not proud of that answer but to be fair there are also more balanced views in this thread. It's also an old thread and some of what's in there is no longer relevant. For example someone recently created a prototype of the

Using the Android mobile app, create a Fastmail link and add it to your home screen. Open the app, try to block a sender - it asks you to confirm and it's not possible to press either buttons. The same workflow works fine in Chrome.

There's an open issue about it, so hopefully github should fix it eventually. It's on firefox mobile

I'm always surprised to read claims that Firefox is the same or better than Chrome. I switched to Firefox recently and many sites don't quite work: for example the pull request popup menu on GitHub appears off screen so can't
