> Also it really is sad to see “Hacker” News be “World News”. More Zig and less White House, please. I have been on this website for 17 years (ugh that's scary), and people have be…

I don't know the parent's policy position, but it seems like they didn't express one, and you've just assumed they support deanonymization?

"Access" is the filthy dirty word here. Can't be anything other than a stenographer because you might lose your ACCESS, with which you can do MORE stenography. It's a sickness.

Defunct? I just switched to it a couple months ago, and it seems actively developed. (Though I think this announcement is sufficiently unpleasant I'm starting to reconsider)

They are right to say it though

That's good to hear!

Maybe the technical politics have changed, but I feel like I remember there was some push in the late 2000s to rewrite libraries that were using Xlib to instead use XCB. Regardless…

Whenever people complain about Wayland being hard to program in, I think about how Xlib was largely replaced by XCB, and OpenGL is increasingly marginalized in comparison to Vulkan…

The absolute lack of consequences Trump faced after his first go-around all but guaranteed the crime spree we're now seeing, and will probably go down in history as the primary blu…

Not the parent, but products like it are strongly Protestant Evangelical-coded, so that could actually be a selling point for the intended audience

ah yes, clothes not fitting, a famously bourgeoisie problem /s As somebody with an atypical body shape, not being able to find things that fit is an endless source of irritation an…

Unfortunately, the citations are generally quite low quality and have in my experience a high rate of not actually supporting the text they're attached to.

Adventure Maker and Bryce3D were an S-tier way of making very nonsensical games as a child! It would be cool to have a FOSS redux of it, to be honest.

I remember when everything was "Sign in with .NET Passport" as a yoot and just being like "what the hell are you talking about"

I really haven't found this to be true at all ; corporations are just as dysfunctional or worse. It's more that there's fewer legal protections, so private surveillance is a great …

I ran xfwm's compositor back when it was first introduced on a 400 MHz Pentium II with a GeForce 2. It was fully fine. The compositing tax is just waiting for vsync; unless your ma…

The 2026 redesign has put in a proper liquid cooling loop. (Battery heating is inexplicably an extra $300 option, and not available on the base trim AFAICS?)

They often have eSIMs I think, but (depending probably on the car) pulling the modem's fuse can be safe. That's the case for the VW ID.4 at least.

I found USB-C to be pretty unreliable up until the past several years -- I had multiple phones and laptops from multiple brands Things are better now in my experience, but for a de…

About 0%. China really has no serious interest in Greenland, and Russia isn't going to trigger direct confrontation with NATO. At least, unless NATO splinters, which is looking som…

I just cannot stomach the number of people who apparently value nothing except displays of performative cruelty and childish tantrums. There's been a significant shift of an "ow-I-…

I'm sympathetic to the position that a lot of people just didn't pay attention before voting in the '24 election and voted purely off of some incomprehensibly puerile vibes, but th…

IMDB stars are probably one of the worst SNR filters you could use for film, to be honest.
