This will be the straw, and now comes the “god how do I migrate off this shitshow” - enshittification pun intended. I nearly cancelled upon their choice to even add telemetry, then they made it possible to disable and off by default (though

One has a couple options here, given that the EU didn’t seem to listen re: certain classes of developers, small software projects, and the like: 1. Ignore the EU, meaning a couple different things depending on what your commercial activity

Interesting in light of this posting’s title; I expected it to be the same thing before double checking, since this was a recent posting (that no one had much to say on): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40070432

I can’t help but feel like, while the plural of ‘anecdote’ is not’ data’, lots and lots of people make the same observation about “Boomers”. The human body has been working with fat and sugar and such a lot longer than all the newer, more e

Every single switch to Chromium, at this point, is another knife into any kind of hope for standards, privacy, or sanity from Google. Their browser, for the browsing part, is technically okay-maybe superior. Chrome 124, though, is now sendi

This sounds more like a case of “know what the things in your pipeline do, if it’s odd/abnormal” than “avoid -o pipefail”.

From working in government, “no, they don’t care about doing it the right way.” The people who get hired are, largely, the ones who will work for the lower salary paid, and plenty lack enough experience and/or capability to even do wha

There’s a reason I just used Proton’s service: a combination of making sure you configure it right, trust of IPs where major providers will treat your mail as spam despite DKIM/DMARC/SPF being good if you run it yourself and it’s

Finally, is about all I have to say. The FAA has been operating in a world that left them 25 to 50 years ago on certain medications, esp for private pilots.

No. I still don’t trust you with private key material in the way you want it here, even if you could just lift %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\… and take it. You’ll do everything you can to lock people in, making it nigh impossible to move said private

Sounds like usual, empty, lying corporate-speak, full of buzzwords and saying nothing. Their days are numbered, to be ended by the dagger they drove into their own heart. Melodrama aside, I see nothing to convince me that they’ve heard anyt

I managed to subscribe at a really good annual rate vs. list through some online aggregator, where they pre-warn me of renewal and rate changes to let me cancel if I want. I don’t remember what it was without searching my email, so not shil

As others have said, there’s the UDRP, which is what the GoDaddy-linked answer is covering, but here’s from ICANN (the source, mentioned in GoDaddy’s policy): https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr&#x

I suspect, somehow, that this is stupidity with the bank's processing core systems, which ... things are weird with financials. They buy someone out, and now there are two systems. Glued together with duct tape. Then they release a new

I’d second ESET. Go for just their AV product, not full everything-shield, and there are configuration options to make it do less and less, up to a point. Plus, it can be had cheaply-keys from prior year versions, IIRC (someone correct me i

The only thing that has saved Netflix, kinda, so far is that they left the "current" plan alone (though they still throw in their "occasional" small price hikes) and added a new tier with ads. Which they didn't try

By SKU pooling do you mean Amazon consolidating things that they think/claim are the same SKU, or something else? I specifically go out of the way to get "sold-from/shipped-by Amazon", but I don't know if that'

This is really great to see-second the “thank you very much” to the Fine company for making this possible. Altap Salamander has been a good friend and constant companion for years, and there was some fear when Fine acquired Altap that it mi

I’ve wondered how long this would take, and what effect it would have during a (not-even-mass) casualty event. The more paranoid might see events like this a probing attempt into how far one can go in infrastructure chaos-people still think

Where there’s a architecture position open now… Despite being told that it’d be a thing to help “modernize us”, what exactly do other people - both in and out of the IT world - actually thing an “architect” does? In deep time I might have e

No one has yet convinced me that “cloud development environments” can come close to meeting the experience of lots of local, fast compute resources. Add the expense of putting it in AWS where it seems like us-east-whatever suffers a major o

I’m surprised that things like US military-style tritium-illuminated compasses aren’t more popular or widely used for cases like this. They’re very safe, last something like 10 years, and aren’t really expensive (compared to “I need to know
