Google Search? A knowledge repository? Literally day-by-day it becomes near impossible to find the knowledge you want by a fresh concoction of being flooded by paid-for links, incorrect web scraping/SEO spam, or downright scrubbed from

I have the 2022 Zero S and it is a delight. Highly recommend it for anyone who would be interested to try a motorcycle but don't want to deal with clutches. First motorcycle as well. There is simply less overhead to getting started, it

Hi Richard, how does your organization achieve carbon neutrality? What metrics are available, or how do you know it's accurate? As a software engineer, this has never been a requirement of me, but I want to start conscientiously workin

We're talking about this in the context of environmental reform. The idea of decentralized change is good for change over time, but not when it's to avert a crisis, unless everyone thinks it's a no-brainer decision, which the

This is a usability stance. Removing the ability to use phone numbers would have made it harder for users to adopt Signal, and I find it to be a reasonable trade-off. At least right now, the only thing prying eyes can do is know that you us

I can't agree with this one. I enjoy Apple products and consider them to be of high quality, but they should not be the star example for user privacy. iCloud backups are turned on by default, which means they have access to the private

Signal seems to be a lone island in its dedication to user privacy. Is this naive or an accurate evaluation? Have they done anything recently to signal that these may falter? What is going to suggest they won't resort to rent-seeking o

Same! I always thought I was alone in feeling this way. When I first heard the phrase "baby names", I first understood it as that: a name used for people while they are still a baby. I was confused for many years until I realized

I like that idea, or at least contract a private company to do the pentest. That makes it government-sanctioned and pushes the responsibility back onto the people who run the services in question, so we never have to guess about whether it&

I was following this chain until the parent poster said "Shill harder". What a shame. I think it's made obvious that you're operating on a level in which you still critically think about the opinions that you hold. Most

Wow! I had no idea. That is actually hilarious and many parties have even used that to reject it's inclusion as Free Software https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil I was hoping for something more enforcea

Is there an example of a software with a license with more overt political views being directly stated in the agreement ? I'm NOT saying that it's wrong to have personal views, or to make a statement about what Mastodon feels abou

Does a history of enforcement help in cases like this? The article itself says that Truth Social is "antithetical" to Mastodon's values, but that there's nothing they can do about the usage of their software other than l

Honestly I think the scarier part is that "real" tech articles are rapidly approaching this level of quality and I can't tell if the "real" articles are being written by automation, or people who love to copy and pa

I think parent means to write "pacemaker". What makes this modification much worse than a pacemaker? I can see why it would be bad to be dependent on an internal artificial device, but not why it would be worse than a heart device

I don't think a rise in corporate power and a fall of nation state power makes sense. At some point, some group is going to need to have a monopoly on violence. It doesn't matter if two groups of power don't have complete dom

Wow, this entire thread has made me appreciate OpenBSD a lot more compared to FreeBSD/NetBSD. I'm interested to hear about part 2 when it comes out and what he has to say about macOS/Apple.

Are the only people who perpetuated the acronym stocks people? I'd like to know what other acronyms competed then, if they existed

Imagine if Apple started making their chips available for use on server platforms, with that power efficiency.

I feel like the last bit isn't exactly right. Their compensation is still more competitive compared to Microsoft. On the tech side, they are also innovating as a breakout new producer compared to the incumbents.

But there's a million acronyms that could be made by popping some good tech companies in and pushing out less nice-looking initials out. Why did FAANG catch on and not GAMMA, SLAAP, STINT, etc.? I think it's partially your reason,

Welcome to the opinion zone. You mention market caps, but I don't think that is really the reason why certain companies enter the mindshare of people. I think the reason that Netflix became a part of the acronym is because, like its co

Ease of being able to replace the battery has never been the reason stopping me from upgrading from a 2015 MacBook Pro. Anyone with the the intent of replacing a battery today will be able to make it after buying some readily available tool

A hot-button issue gets corrected now, but then they continue to make subtler moves. Why say you love open-source if you keep the juicy bits of Visual Studio Code closed-source? More like you love open-source... for making money. Microsoft

I really enjoy the way that they admitted their design mistakes of the past by having the speaker mention that users love tactile function keys and made it come back. They tried their best to say it was a mistake without explicitly stating

I've been wondering for a long time what's been going on. This makes a lot of sense! So if the User Agent is Google, the website produces relevant-sounding content with no JavaScript spam? I never realized GPT-3 could be used for

Wait. Is thst true though? I'm a technical person, with a lot of very specific searches. Around 70% of the time, I don't actually get the results that answer what I'm looking for, no matter how many quotation marks I surround
