I assume the chief reasoning behind this decision twofold. First, it's a crapshoot to get alternative stores working on my steam deck (I wouldn't expect my less technical gamer fri…

I'm cautiously excited/optimistic for this. That said, I wonder if this feature will end up seeing all that much usage? Once your inputs are sanitized/bounded in a Golang applicati…

Sorry, I made a couple of points in that post, and you're conflating two of them. Ben Shapiro isn't radicalizing anyone, but he's definitely a hack who regularly says controversial…

You don't need to trust him, but I think you're making a false equivalency there. The reason Joe Rogan apologizes, is that some of his takes are WILD. The whole thing about the wil…

I think this hits at the heart of the issue though - you don't get to, as a public figure, decide whether or not you are "the voice of a movement". In mass media today, influencers…

I thought based on how pilots were paid, longer routes were more desirable? And shorter routes would be in lower demand, since airlines don't typically pay for time spent on the gr…

2 and 3 are great points, but honestly - and especially if you're working in multiple repos, or multiple subdirectories in a monorepo - VS code's folder search is better than grep.…

And this is where the NIMBYs come in; people who bought in years or even decades ago, who want to see prices rise to astronomical levels so they can retire off of their home's equi…

To What, though? This is the problem I'm currently struggling with. I could go to Android, which is relatively good but still run by Google (one of the most data-hungry corporation…

I'm on the other side of this; I don't use my phone for anything more than messaging, light browsing/videos, and social feeds, so what I really want is more battery life. Last I ch…

Facetious as this is, I can't imagine this is anything other than Apple's endgame here. The best of both worlds: keep advertising their privacy chops to the masses, while also allo…

Yeah, I've worked with HSMs in the past and to say that it's a challenge to get key material out of them is an understatement. That said, a lot of this depends on the architecture …

I would disagree here. AWS has to be strong out of the gate to push opensearch as more than just "elasticsearch, but on AWS". Elastic has proven its worth, or this fight wouldn't e…

This is the right answer - HN is absolutely not representative of web users at large. If we were, I'm sure there would be much stricter anti-adblock/ad protection systems on large …

KYC only helps to an extent, right? My understanding of crypto is minimal, but if you run your own miner I assume you don't need to verify anything to anyone. You should be able to…

While I agree with the broader point, this is grade A BS and I think you know it. Anyone who's ever spent time in a classroom viewing the experience with an objective eye knows tha…

This clearly isn't marketed towards me (I'm happy running firefox locally), but from what I can tell I'd like to use every part of this product except the core offering. - Mirror m…

Isn't this just notification center? I don't think you can reply to say, a slack message from it, but most services have some form of notification support that will redirect you to…

I don't understand why anyone would pay for this, under any circumstances. You're not paying for exlusive access to the tweet, or even ownership in any meaningful context - you get…

That's smart - I know I've had a couple of folks interested enough to download the app, but not interested enough to use it on a daily basis. If I may, I'd like to push a little de…

Anecdotally, it took me about an afternoon. I realize that I'm more technical than the average person, so setting up the certs and installing the python deps was a breeze because I…

This seems like a great move forward for Element, looks like this is angling to replace the New Vector offering they had a while back? The pricing is certainly odd, though. For 5 b…

Can anyone chime in on their experiences hosting a synapse server? I have close to a dozen people on mine (although we don't federate much with the network as a whole, I set it up …

Synapse is essentially invisible on a $5/mo digitalocean VM, in my experience. I don't have too many people on it, but I've run my own server for about a year and a half now and I'…

I feel like I have to ask: where are you getting a server that'll run arbitrary erlang code for 2 bucks a month? The absolute cheapest I've seen seems to be 5, from digitalocean/li…
