Which is why i just report (to Verizon) every piece of shit political spam text as junk as I delete it. The “do not call” registry had a purpose, and it’d have been so easy to add an additional “and also no political anything” to it. Let th

No such thing. You’re paying or you’re the product.

Quite unlikely. This doesn’t differentiate between paid and non-paid PM users, or those just hosting their domain email with PM, either, but if a company wants to cut off its face to spite some users for the communications provider they use

“Passkeys, developed by the FIDO Alliance, with support from major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, offer a more secure and user-friendly alternative to traditional passwords“ is a lying, surreptitious statement. Yes, “pass

The forced telemetry on the unpaid version is a good enough reason to opt out of ever considering their product, if there’s an option to do so. If they don’t respect me before I pay them, why would I believe they’ll respect me more after I

As a US taxpayer, charge them. Charge them, and make sure they understand why - they’re benefiting, and have been benefiting, from software developed at no cost to them. If they want anything, it needs to cost them; otherwise, …

Seriously, if there’s any security risk here it’s Chrome. Ffs, even the FBI recommends using an ad blocker.

And what else does it break-break, even if you do kill the antenna, more that just the annoyance of a light? Integrated GPS, because it uses cellular to “enhance” that? What other risks are there? Haven’t we seen CAN bus “hacked” over the a

Google can die in the biggest, best fire before I’ll pay—or willingly let anyone I know pay—a cent through them. They’ve been declared monopolists, abusing everyone else. They destroy web standards, crush other browsers using their influenc

Reddit already shot itself in the head shortly before its IPO. The sycophants at the top have cashed out, and the corpse is just still falling towards the ground.

I admit I didn’t think of this, but… without another science mission or something, what do they do up there? This said, yeah, I wouldn’t want to come back on Boeing hardware with Dragon available.

I don’t get the blanket ban on AGPL-am I misunderstanding how attach-y it is? For example, people seem to have the impression that if you host something like an AGPL email validation service that just has an API to request a check for an em

Amex and Discover, as someone else pointed out, are their own banks too-so they are both running the payment network layer for their cards. Or they are at least at the final point; I have no idea whether there’s some blended payment layer&#

After looking at it, the “uses a different number” would seem to imply that the side-channel thing is right. Pace-participating entities load your cards to their system, you get access via your email address, Paze acts as an interface where

They probably won’t give us the concrete numbers. They definitely don’t want to get sued if they facilitate what turns out to be not just distasteful to them but potentially illegal-see the PornHub lockout by all the CC companies after it w

Packet doesn’t have to be in any particular frequency band, e.g. not in ELF-MF (3Hz-3000kHz). It just implies packet switching instead of circuit switching or message switching, and can be done at any frequency. APRS is packet; anything tha

Well, if you’re not happy about it, as a paying customer, you should let them know. I did.

I’d probably never pay for this, even though I want something like it conceptually-tab hell is a real thing. $12/mo is too much, and to be honest I just don’t trust that, with the state of the enshittification-of-everything (doubly so

There seem, to me, really two bifurcating paths ahead. Maybe 2.5. In both of them, AI is Not My Problem. In A, we get a technological singularity, and AI is beneficial and benevolent; life is radically improved. In A.5, we don’t quite get t

To quote from Reddit: “tcook@apple.com is a legitimate account, but monitored and managed by admins.” To answer your question, you don’t, mostly. He might answer sometimes, as Jobs did, but it’s not normal or expected. This also depends on

How does this manage to say that ZGC and genZGC are not production ready - “not that ZGC and genZGC are production-ready” - then later reference JEP 439 and note that Generational ZGC is production ready with, “At the time of writing, She

There is something to be said for owning things you like, instead of those things being “available to stream” on service X. For now.

Game theory has some things to say about this, and the expected long term outcomes for everyone aren’t good. Employers could use some study in the subject, but I’m firmly convinced this is past the capability of HR departments in general. I

Except they ignore subdomains. Unless you fix that on a per-item basis, in their desktop application. I think, finally, that the reason this feels so dirty-apart from companies and lock-in and all-is that it’s taking the “something you know

No, you’re smart to feel this. See the previously linked comment from someone upset that KeyPassXC lets users export: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407 When it comes to Apple, or Google
