I thought it was for newsletters, like Substack. But I wasn't sure and now I'm even less sure.

This feels like a strong signal that either - this app won't see much adoption and will eventually fall out of maintenance, or - the developers are going to be a pain in the ass to work with, or both.

Same here -- I tried the x86 build as well with the same result.

But that's an IETF standard, not an ICANN policy. AFAIK there's nothing in place today that would _prevent_ ICANN from granting .local to a registry other than it just being a bad idea.

Sure, that means Twitter probably uses Okta for corporate SSO (as do many companies), but nothing more. Okta offers white-labeling on your own domain (and some advanced Okta features are only available via white-labeling), so twitter.biz i

Pixels aren't pixels , oddly enough, it's marketing jargon for cross-site tracking, which way back when was accomplished by pixels. So even relatively sophisticated analytics platforms are still "pixels". I don't l

Driving to almost every US address? I'm not American, but I was under the impression that mail delivery people mostly walked their routes.

I used this for ages (and its spiritual, if not actual, predecessor ClipMenu), but these days I'm using the clipboard in Raycast because it's right there.

Tough question. Alfred never really clicked for me, Raycast clicked right away, but I can't put my finger on why.

For the first five or six words, I thought I had 30 seconds to get 23 words, which seemed kind of unnecessarily difficult.

A little of both, I think. I remember having decommissioning ceremonies for long-lived, specifically-named servers, and I remember the era when people were proud of astoundingly long uptimes. Both of those things are aspects of pet-hood tha

There is a video which makes its way around the Internet regularly of this crash[1] which was attributed to exactly that, killing all seven on board. (Which makes it pretty heavy for an anecdote, admittedly.) [1] https://en.wikip

Encrypted state files are either done or coming soon. That's going to be a big one, since Hashicorp used that as a selling point for Terraform Cloud.

The primary purpose of the DMCA was (and, I suppose, still is) to criminalize technology that circumvents access control protecting copyrighted works. There's also the part about takedowns, but circumvention was definitely the big issu

"ADSB" data isn't always ADSB, either. The big ADS-B mapping sites (adsbexchange.com, and the ones that popped up after its acquisition) also collect MLAT data from their volunteer stations to triangulate aircraft with ADS-B

Alas, the part you're describing as great is written in past tense.

This is about new cars, so the condition is expected to be "unused". Of course there's always the possibility of a lemon. But in terms of how lemons affect negotiation on the used market, there is a classic economics paper, &

It's not about wet, it's about salt. You're on the wrong coast to have to think about rustproofing. Rustproofing is less necessary on modern cars than it used to be, and dealer rustproofing is pretty much universally worse

Certainly, I can provide some feedback on a proposal to start a social club for people who have been accused of being an AI on HN. That sounds like a grand idea.

I can't help but feel that the TV show would've ruined it, like Scarfolk only works if you only have a certain amount of it and the TV show would've pushed it from "wait, was that real?" to "Ah, right, that&#x

Speaking of conferences, this is one thing I loved about the Monitorama conference in Portland. It has a single track, so everyone attending the conference goes to all the same talks, which means you now have something in common with everyb

Mastodon instead of Bluesky and you've got it, I think. (Bluesky has its own protocol.)
