It never occurred to me to pass a *, thanks for pointing this out! It looks like all tiers can do 600 + 15 per user; I don't remember if it's always been like this, but I was pretty sure there was a limit. https://www.f

I do this too, with Fastmail, but they do have a limit on how many aliases you can have without paying them more (last I checked). The way around this is that they let you do alias+something@domain.com, or for sites that won't accept a

I bought some Yubikey standards back in 2014 and they were $25 apiece. The Yubikey 5 NFCs I got 4 years later were $45 apiece, but had NFC and did more stuff. They released some U2F-only yubikey security keys that I thought were $20 but I a

OK. I read the entire article, so I was able to see those terms used in context, which I think is key to understanding what the author is trying to say. The discussion around acquired immunity also includes vaccinations, as in "...will

Where did he advocate for an increase in foreclosures or acquired immunity? I didn't read either of these things in the transcript, and rereading doesn't seem to hint at it, either (to me).

Please don't characterize this as a political voices thing. Of course it's _related_, but this instance is about misclassification of private data, not silencing voices online. Also, Google is not a private company.

The key is the virtualization. I think (!) with `brew install docker` you've got to set up a VM and get Docker running inside it, yourself. Docker Desktop for Mac does that, and implements filesystem and networking integration for you.

It's not great, at all. But at least on Mac it's a lot easier to get going with Docker for Mac than it is to roll your own with e.g. VirtualBox. I assume it's the same on Windows.

I was hoping to read an article about free range goats but instead it's about programming languages. On Hacker News, of all places.

Most of the answers here are about games being addictive and a time waste, but what about communication? I actually have no idea about this - is in-game communication in e.g. fortnite able to be monitored? If not, and if the CCP is as inter

Are you kidding? Look at the US in 1980 vs. now. There has been a lot of societal change. I don't think it has much to do with video games, though. Nationwide BBSes (Compuserv, AOL, etc.) and then the Internet have made or accelerated

This is the common refrain, but I think it's equally likely that it boils down to "I did this, so you should have to do this, too."

It is. If you go read about these, on balance the information is negative. The projects suffered from design creep and cost overruns, and turned out not to be well-suited to the types of missions we allegedly needed them for. The US Navy is

I think it's ironic that you're saying he has to pay to run his business safely, when Amazon's set things up this way specifically because they don't want to pay to run their business safely. It's a little outrageou

I don't think I'm exactly right about this, but consider three sets of words: - man/woman - male/female - masculine/feminine There is a concept of grammatical gender, where words can be masculine or feminine (or neu

This has no bearing on whether the idea is right or not, and shame on you for trying to shut down conversation by comparing adherents to child molesters.

The idea is that sex and gender are different though; gender _is_ a social construct. I think lack of agreement on this is a big part of the issue right now. Edit: as pointed out below, gender roles are something we've made up, but pre

You're both correct, I'm not sure why I made that mistake because I definitely know the difference. I believe Amazon currently is restricted to SD/480p, at least, that's all I can get with Firefox right now.

by saxonww 5y ago
I'll second this, with the caveat that you won't always get HD streams. Netflix only supports 720p on Linux, and I believe Amazon Prime is limited to SD as well. Disney+ doesn't support Linux, but works for me right now with
