The title changed! I hate when Hacker News does this. Before, it was: > FBI arrests PureVPN user with log data that was said to not exist (justice.gov) Nothing about cyberstalking. I too figured it was going to be something stupid like p

I mean, the special agent even calls it a fact: "the fact that VPN's track activity with logs." >As an aside, it's good to see another example that the FBI does actually investigate cases of cyberharrasment and takes

Ugh you reminded me why I never went all-in with Notion. Having to remember what email I signed up with every time I need to log in is super annoying (as it doesn't seem to trigger my browser's autofill dialogue).

I really like Notion and have this same feeling. The app being Electron is a really big bummer for me, though. Performance is terrible on my Android phone. I really want to ditch Evernote but nothing seems to compare still.

Hey, that's not fair to RDR2! I actually bought it the day it came out because it _didn't_ have a huge day one patch. I think it was only about 4 GB, which is barely a blip on my ISP's arbitrary data cap. Fallout 76, however,

This is unrelated, but I've never had the opportunity to ask before: in what cultures is it common to put a space before a colon (e.g. "Librefox : Browse With Freedom")? When I see that behavior, I immediately know the author

It's not stubborn to design your application to work as users have come to expect.

The premium renewal thing blew my mind when I first saw it. I couldn't believe they were so bold as to say that one .com is more expensive to renew than another.

A few years ago, I typed in a domain I wanted and was surprised to see a link to Godaddy Auctions saying I could have it "Buy It Now"-style for $80. I've had miserable experiences with Godaddy so I really didn't want to

I recently got into the first wave of Cloudflare's domain registration, but I have had a pretty good experience with Namecheap over the years. It looks like I can save a few bucks here and there, but my next expiring domain isn't

Wouldn't they be saving tons by not having to hire QA or do user experience testing? They can just push stuff into the wild and see how users tolerate it.

If it's Comcast Xfinity, you'll get a text, email, phone call, and JavaScript injected into non-http sites at 70%, 80%, 90%, and beyond.

This has been my reality since Comcast announced that awful data cap. I have to juggle streaming TV/movies, video game patches, and various cloud backups just to make sure we don't go over. This is at a house with just two adults

Redbox sent me an email that had a picture of RDR2 "Disc 1" in the list of new games. I wasn't sure what that meant, and figured that data disc might have had a gimped version of the game with only one or two chapters. Turns

Boy oh boy, I can't stand that sound. Must be years of being trapped in other kids' parents' cars, who were educated and listened to NPR. I just wanted to listen to Big Douche and the Boys talk over the intro to Enter Sandman

I've seen Tailwind pop up in some of the JAMstack starter kits, and I could have sworn it was some framework of yesteryear that I just missed that was now largely replaced by Bootstrap/Bulma/etc. Now that I've looked at

I see that blurry zoom transition effect all over the place. I suspect retina Macs don't do it, so designers keep doing it. Kinda reminds me that up until recently, Shopify used to only list Helvetica in their font-family, so Windows u

The download button is _below_ a block of text explaining that this isn't new, this is old code that someone leaked, and they're releasing this so you don't download some spyware-riddled version.

Doesn't Firefox use the default OS scrollbar? I believe Chrome has their own custom scrollbar, and it allows developers to replace it. For instance, in Trello on Firefox, I see my big native (read: usable) scrollbar on the bottom and i
