thanks, i installed this. I couldn't find a way to set it to 'always delete everything from container x and never anything from container y' though.

I've been using this for a few years now and love it. I wish for two things. 1) i wish there was a way to automatically delete cookies/cache/history from specific containers every time. My personal container needs cookies and

Anyone have the 'long form' of this to read? Twitter is such a terrible way to read long content. Aside: I really enjoyed Taibbi's few books, but haven't respected his online opinions since around 2016. I'm not surp

Do you worry about the battery being a fire hazard? But I do agree: run pi-hole as vm/dockers on some home server.

Exactly the quote that caught my guard. I don't really shop with amazon, because two things: 1) the rune goldberg machine of suffering of amazon laborers and, more selfishly: 2) everything is so cheap, that it's useless. I would r

I recommend checking out https://80000hours.org/ -- it may not matter what you do day to day, as much as it matters why you do it and what it effects outside of your life.

Have you tried using the website without logging in? Basically impossible.

I'm halfway through CS50P[1] which was just made this year, and it's one of the best courses I've ever taken (online for free or even at my real university). [1] https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/

per the article, they were fined 62 million for (years of?) fraud. Their 2021 profit alone was 730 million (on 8 billion revenue).[1] When the fine is less than 9 percent of one years profit, will they really stop doing what they're do

Yeah, I rarely like to use the word 'privileged' but that is really the definition of it: what can you do vs what you have to do.

I suppose you could argue sentience is subjective. But then that argument ends up extending to us eating babies -- at least, as Peter Singer taught us, right?

+1 on OPNsense. I switched from pfsense to opnsense a few months ago without issues.

At $45 per month, you must only be interested in helping affluent people in HCOL cities. Otherwise, that's a truly baffling out of touch price point, especially for an app which requires little interaction with individual paying users

I'm not sure why it is 'virtually certain'. It seems very likely to me that a company, which takes payments as a funding model, could exist with end 2 end and be a legitimate business. Do you have any source at all to back a

I don't follow your logic here. Why can't a company legitimately focus on a niche sub set of users who value privacy in their products? I'm thinking of products like protonmail, standard notes, and signal.

I recommend reading the book "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie, if you have any second guesses about your 'soft skills' and people relations. Reading this book really changed my personality in in

AI/ML just isn't at a point yet where it can encounter something it's never seen and make a decision about it in a predictable way. Which is problematic with driving for two reasons. 1) crazy things happen on the road all the

I'm curious, did offline mode show ads? If not, then I can suspect why it was disabled.

I suspect it being Chrome only is one of the reasons you receive minimal responses here. At least, for me -- I only have FF installed, so I can't test for you. I imagine a lot of the HN user base is similar, due to FF's target dem

AI is very bad when it comes to making a linear narrative due to it's memory limitations. I doubt we will be seeing long form content that is made 100% by AI even in 10 years. I can see a sub genre being born where authors let AI auto
