I agree with the sentiment implied by the author, but I would reword it slightly. If you don't have the freedom to share something, you don't own it. I disagree with the interpreta…

This game was released via a physical release on the Nintendo Switch. It's very clearly intended for teens+.

I think most small communities will stand bot-free because there's little incentive to have bot engage with it. But I wonder if there's a size of conversation after which people wi…

I tutor advanced math and science and so have updated my daily driver along with whatever students were most likely to come across. In the past it was a ti 84 and then ti 89 titani…

I have had a bad experience using the modern iTunes/native music app. It's clear that Apple has moved away from local first features.

Merry christmas y'all and happy holidays. I can't put in to words how much I appreciate the culture on HN and the conversations I've been a part of. It's the only social media site…

The polar verity sense is what you're looking for. It connects to your phone via ble so it doesn't need a display. It's not as popular as a chest strap.

I've never run in to that issue in the last 10+ years of using notepad++ with these plugins. Since my autosave location is dropbox, it's automatically backed up the moment the file…

I use the autosave and take notes plugin in notepad++ which makes it perfect for this use case. I have it set to autosave when the window loses focus. And the take notes plugin let…

DRM limits hardware options significatly. Open standards are embraced even when they come later, AV1 vs HEVC is a great example. The standard will exist but hardware adoption of th…

I can't imagine myself watching a livestream of something like LTT. On the other hand, I have listened to 'Lofi HipHop' and 'oldies playing in another room' and aquarium/submarine …

Similar to how most people have shifted to permanent shuffle for the song selection queue, online streaming caused the same shift in how people decide what to watch. Familiary with…

I am glad, I won't miss this feature. This will also mean there is less adoption of the new stanard and so the old standard will be kept around for longer. ATSC 3 was guaranteed to…

Correlation is not causation. Piracy related free web streaming has existed since the moment it became possible to profit/run with ads. Looking at a list of the most popular torren…

Since Google controls the implementation and the featureset of this API, they are effectively controlling the entire chain of access. Having open source implementions does not make…

Yes, because a feature flag shows intent to implement it before any real discussion have taken place with privacy and non-corporate security advocates.

From a very top level view, this gives Google, and other websites, the ability to block requests from devices/browsers they don't approve. This implements device level verification…

Threads is still lacking a proper discovery algorithm, desktop interface, and compatibility with ActivityPub/Fediverse. Desktop viewing currently only works for reading, but not fo…

From what I've read, the current theory is that access is initially possible using the cellular modem. Building and running a custom Android wouldn't necessarily help in that case,…

From an opsec standpoint, would leaving the phone in airplane mode and turning off location services effectively block access to the phone? From my understanding airplane mode disa…
