> I appreciate some effort on Apple’s part for privacy and security. What effort? If you're truly interested in privacy and security you'd use something like grapheneos.

They both have many different businesses under the hood, and they both heavily rely on advertising. Both collect, sell, and use their users' data. They even have special deals where Apple sells it's users to Google. Not sure what

Brave is slower than chromium from my experience, had issues related to bookmarks when I last tried it, and it doesn't do stuff it claims to - such as privacy, ad blocking, etc. Safari has weird Apple-isms like nonstandard shortcuts, w

Meh, Safari and Brave are crap compared to Chrome(ium).

Apple absolutely has that same business model (though it's not the only one for both companies).

If it's the first time - yeah, reach out to the person and talk to them. But if the person is consistently leaving such comments under the guise of mentorship, 'raising the bar', or some other bullshit which boils down to the

This. Any subjective style/pattern agreed to by the team should be checked and/or fixed automatically. If you don't have lint rules set up to enforce these things - go write them instead of commenting about subjective style p

It really depends on the company/team. Certain companies (Amazon), use PR feedback stats as promotion metrics. They don't even consider the feedback quality, literally the stat 'average number of comments per PR' was one

by wubrr 3y ago
Generally agree, but at some companies/teams the ratio of 'nitpicky subjective feedback' to 'you have a bug here feedback' is like 95:5 while at others it's 5:95. The latter function much better.

The fun thing to do in these situations is to add yourself as reviewer to all PRs by the person giving such feedback and return the favor. They learn pretty fast.

Yup, they will shower you with 'promo' offers like '2 for 1' (where the price is typically just doubled for a single item anyway), then try to charge you like a 36% tip. They also straight up steal many of the tips from

You can also set up gparted live to be bootable from GRUB from the same drive.

by wubrr 3y ago
Not while it's running obviously... you boot into gparted live and do it. And btw, yes you can move partitions while linux is running.

If they made self driving with the same quality as they made their apps, they'd get shut down pretty fast.

ubereats is actually kind of a scam though. They lie about some of their promotions, they lie about their delivery times and 'latest delivery by' times, they lie about 'uber cash credit', and they lie about refunds. I&#x

You can resize your primary partition, move it to a larger offset, then resize /boot. You can also move /boot to the end of your disk. gparted supports this stuff pretty well.

Huh? The link would still resolve and work, just the referrer header wouldn't be set.
291.
by wubrr 3y ago
Referrer is basically optional though, you can specify a link to have no referrer : `<a href="example.com" rel="noreferrer">link</a>` , among other ways. It's true that the links only increase the r

How would news organizations deny the request referred by a linking party? Are you talking about a technical denial - as in reject the HTTP request? I guess technically they can base something like this on HTTP referer header, but you can h

Selecting seats used to be free for available seats. Now they artificially reserve empty seats such that you need to pay for them. No extra value or improvement is introduced for customers here, quite the opposite.

That may work where you have a visible visual watermark over part of an image, but not so much if steganography is used to add an invisible watermark.

by wubrr 3y ago
Couldn't they apply the watermark post-compression? But yeah, eventually people will figure out how the watermark works and be able to remove it.

That could work if the existing code is actually up-to-date, correct, and if you have knowledgeable users of the systems backed by this code. The part about 'code corruption' makes me thing this is not the case. Worked at a big ba

I think 'intelligence and character' in this context, can be interpreted as the knowledge of and ability to control world events. All of the wars are started by the 'in the know' few that have their own goals, have power

Are you like an aspiring moderator? Nobody asked you to review anyone's comments or comment on anything. Save this petty nonsense for reddit.

Of course it's true. Most of congress doesn't even have security clearance to know what exactly the NSA is doing, and the ones that do technically have the clearance can really only questions things they are already aware of - the

One of the big Snowden revelations was that NSA can literally do whatever they want without needing any kind of government or public approval. There is zero transparency and accountability.
