    Eric Berger has a strong pro-Musk bias (having literally written a fawning book about him). To him, Musk can do no wrong, it seems. I also dislike Dan Goodin’s reporting. He tries …

    Yes, it’s “spyware” to want you to update an OS. That’s definitely the definition of that. Good job for decoding conspiracy.

    But wasn’t macOS the only major gaming-relevant platform still using OpenGL anyway? If you’re already writing a Mac-specific backend, why not just write directly for Metal instead …

    > The data isn’t trustworthy and underestimates the true count of crime. You’ll need to back that up with facts, not “it seems to me…”. It’s easy to say “the data are wrong, think …

    Why would you think that? Lobbying organizations exist to advance the interests of their members. Their members in this case are businesses. This will restrict the control business…

    Ironically, their page doesn’t seem to work on Safari. I get a 404 error after signing in, every time. Switching to Chrome on my desktop lets it work.

    The limitations and clearly second-tiering of the Exchange connector are what pushed me to move away from Google Workspaces last year. I settled on Fastmail, precisely because they…

    Anecdotally, I can say that I’ve definitely noticed a negative correlation between affiliate marketing and content quality, though I would be very interested in seeing a formal stu…

    I think this is a byproduct of being email first. PMs love to hate on email because they can’t add a bunch of noise, animations, videos. But so far as I’m concerned, that’s not a l…

    That’s a great link, thank you for that! Their support page linked from the “email changed” message, under “if you didn’t make this change”, was less than helpful. It just said to …

    I luckily only had PayPal connected to my account. I was able to unlink it on the Uber side before the attacker blocked access to my account. I also blocked it on the PayPal side t…

    Moderately tangential, but I just had my Uber account hacked today. I also used a strong, unique password managed by a password manager. As far as I can tell, my email wasn’t hacke…

    Respectfully, this just sounds like the screed of somebody who doesn’t like Trudeau/liberals for political reasons not like an unbiased, cogent analysis of Canadian policy. Though …

    I think the person you’re replying to is more concerned about privacy implications than a security exploit involving an exotic TV airwave signal attack.

    I mean, proxy support is listed in the config docs[1]. Those docs also break down the functionality of gallery-do by module, leading me to believe you either didn’t read or didn’t …
