The lack of consequences for misuse of power will doom us all in the end.

> The streaming services also don’t come with who knows what malware like pirated media can. How does one put malware in media? Are we talking exploiting unlatched vulnerabilities …

> Have there been new games where they haven't been able to do so and offer installation solely through the GOG dekstop client? No... but GoG does not prevent the publisher from in…

Assuming it's like previous Light Phones, it's Android with a custom launcher and proprietary app framework.

> hanks to Google efforts switching to GrapheneOS mean tons of apps either not working or break every few months. I've been using GrapheneOS for years and that hasn't been my exper…

I want to love all these "alternative" phone projects but shipping Android 14 in 2026 is just a non-starter. IIRC the Sidephone also runs an old version (12 or 13). Why does this k…

I wanted to love my Garmin watches so much. I've tried a couple of Forerunners and an Instinct 2S. The hardware is great, but the software UX is so poor... I had to memorize an arc…

There's plenty of ways to make games outside of Roblox. Maybe they could sit down together and work through some Löve2D or Godot tutorials? No one can take that away arbitrarily

> A question is whether infrastructure needs to be built. Unfortunately, yes. Because we live in an economy that only works if things grow, we can expect life to be worse if things…

So... you would be fine with your home being leveled to make way for power lines?

Establishment Dems looking at the GOP's plummeting approval rating and looking for ways to sink their own numbers, faster. Like cutting your own brake lines after you watched your …

If you're like me and want an open or non-google-play alternative to these, this is available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.davidv.motionsickness/ I can't vouch f…

This really resonates with me, and reminds me of all that I've missed in the years since COVID and going full remote. There's magic in a room when a mob programming session results…

I fondly remember loading up a janky version of MAME that only ran Pac-Man via the newly discovered kxploit on my PSP in ~2005. That sent me down a two-decades-long road of fiddlin…

I'm interested in the hardware on this... does anyone know if this laptop can boot arm64 Linux natively? Perhaps with an alternate bootloader install? I've read about plenty of oth…

I believe they're specifically referring to energy policy. As they said: > massive growth in Chinese renewables while the US opens up national parks for drilling and cancels solar/…

Would be great if we could buy/drive these in the US. Funny how we have a "free market" only when it is convenient for certain interests...

Humans can be held accountable. States have not yet shown the will to hold anyone accountable for LLM failures.

Also true on my 2020 RAV4 and 2025 Tacoma. I tried a 2025 Ford Maverick for a year before I traded it for the Tacoma. All the AC/Heat/Etc controls were on the screen. Couldn't stan…

What difference does that make, exactly? I'm fairly certain there was only one finger on that trigger...

Taking my technician test tomorrow! Wish me luck! Not only am I pursuing this because I want long-range emergency comms in case cell networks go down (like what happened with Veriz…

[citation needed] I run GrapheneOS and use several US-based banking apps. I'll not name them since I don't really want my HN account associated with my financials in any way, but I…

This is why every device should be bootloader-unlockable (with legal enforcement). There's billions of old phones and IoT devices out there locked to outdated software. This has to…

Pretty much the same setup here. Pixel 9 Pro GOS + iPhone 15 (USB-C everything!). The iPhone is a Canadian model that retains the SIM slot. Most of my banking apps work fine on Gra…
