Glad I moved off GitHub a week before this happened. I just keep my repos on my server now and local backups.

I'm not convinced that would help. The problem is that large companies and government agencies are both misusing and NOT using the appropriate trust anchor - their fucking domain. …

Does anyone know if the Motorola partnership is still on with GrapheneOS or how long until a phone is made available from them?

There is no distinction between the two. If one can do it the other can just as easily. I know multiple people right now that can scrape any a site very easily. I do this at scale …

I don't think any scamming should be normalized.

Apple has been gate keeping for decades. It's a fundamental part of their business strategy. Anyone still expecting anything different is ignoring reality. It's really not complica…

It was kinf of a protest against the whole popcicle stick controversy in Path or Exile. People were getting banned for using macros and I wanted to demonstrate it was a pointless b…

I was automatong pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in a loop with a knob to adjust the loop time. This was to protest Path of Exile potion management requiring you to constantly press that fo…

Would you say the same about a vendor selling rotten or spoiled food?

I had the opposite problem actually I think. I have these small nano teensy USB things that are programmable similar to Arduino, but they have a poor negotiation at start. I was us…

My 8 year old nefew can come into random HN threads and post "this is trash yo" and that would also be the same signal I suppose.

Those are closer to real objective analysis. Much better than hand waving near LLMs and dismissing the content without articulating why. My guess is that a comment that directly sa…

In this case someone could argue you are very verbose, needlessly breaking things into lists, and comparing or contrasting things that don't have much impact or relation. None of t…

None of that is specific to the actual content. Might as well just say "I don't like it" which is also not objective analysis. This article was about math functions, chrome, etc. I…

Sounds needlessly divisive. Why not criticize the content instead of the source or medium?

The US cannot produce most of what that TSMC can can. And those US factories aren't rolling yet either.

Hi! I have been following n-gate.com a small bit over the years, because I found it very interesting and it was a rabbit hole I wanted to go down. I actually setup "xor-gate" for a…

I think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies. > Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative. https://news.ycombinator…

Back 4 Blood?

Thanks for sharing. I have been enjoying Davids content for many years and hope he keeps making awesome stuff. The Time Rift Arcade has been neat too.

I'm so confused.

Not that it really matters because almost all the consumer roiter manufacturers are pretty bad, but TP-Link is really, really bad. I would highly recommend not using any of their h…

HN ongoing support and disdain for AI is perplexing.

I was given one and it had some fun gimmicks but if doesn't really last beyond a few sessions. The ecosystem is strange and I just went back to a "real" device a bit after.
