I'm glad I don't matter to you as long as I haven't yet killed myself. I'll try to keep that in mind while I'm dying inside and dealing with severe depression.

And Tesla needs to be held accountable for a security system than be easily defeated and puts innocent bystanders in danger.

I largely despised the commandline until I discovered z. Then I realized there are ways to make the commandline actually usable and it became an incredible, useful and user-friendly tool for me.

As a member of the general public, I absolutely believe it's on Tesla to ensure that their cars can't be tricked into driving completely without driver supervision.

I don't understand why you or others think it's fine just because somebody found a trivial way to defeat their checks. This is a severe public safety issue, since it's not just putting the occupants at risk.

Might have been different hours ago, but now I see plenty of comments saying "but it's necessary".

I don't understand how that passed.

What's the point of GDPR if you can side-step it in this way?

No, every guy I know, including myself, consumes porn. But it's not because I or they want polygamy. I'm not even sure how you're making that connection, since that's quite the leap.

That's interesting, thanks. Makes me wonder how widespread it is, but when spots are scarce and every bed counts, it's awful all the same.

Also ties back into the idea that governments need to act earlier than might seem necessary.

That's always been the biggest fear with Covid, so that's not unexpected. Long ICU durations, lack of sufficient ICU spots and staff, high infection rate, low case fatality rate still means it can quickly overwhelm hospitals and lead to much higher rates of death overall.

People crying "it's just a flu" were always missing the point.

Why would it be any different than it is now other than having a slightly more centralized platform? Do you use a cleaner now? Unless you're installing junk, you don't need one.

> Monogamy is, more or less, a female fantasy. All women love the fact that birds mate for life. Meanwhile males fantasise about polygamy

Maybe there is a kernel of truth to it deep in our evolutionary/reproductive drive, but every guy I know, without exception, wants a monogamous relationship.

> These changes will allow developers to bring their Win32 apps to the new Store without any changes to their existing code. In the past, developers were required to package their Win32 apps as an MSIX, and were forced to use Microsoft's own store-driven update and commerce platforms. This will no longer be necessary with the new Store.

I'm so relieved at this and hope these changes make their way to the Xbox app. Their store platform has been the worst thing I've seen in gaming in recent years. I've never had as much trouble getting games installed or updated as I have with the MS store. There's also their efforts to prevent users from modifying game files unless developers explicitly allow it, which would've prevented things like the absolutely necessary unofficial patches for Nier Automata.

Favoriting episodes, bookmarks, auto-queues, prioritizing podcasts, downloading episodes for archival purposes, playback history, list of all episodes in progress, stripping empty audio, crazy amount of configurability, and an interface that isn't terrible. I'm sure there are a bunch of other features I'm forgetting.

I've tried Spotify. It's not a podcast player. It's an audio player with none of the conveniences of a modern podcast player. If all you want to do is listen to podcasts, I'm sure it's fine, but it's not in any way sufficient for my needs. At this point, Podcast Addict is the only app out there that I can stand to use.

And it's time we all stopped being that dependent on the US, considering how unreliable and untrustworthy they are.

Huh, I've been working on something similar. One of my suggestions would be to play it as a God simulator. Let players make changes to the simulation, play with the variables and see how it affects things. Add goal states based on economic metrics that provokes players to experiment. Sort of like a puzzle-like experience.

Isn't it obvious? Tech has a clear blind spot for geopolitics. Saying anything critical of China or Russia, even if well-founded, is a great way to get downvotes and be stamped as propaganda or parroting propaganda. It's representative for how these companies and their employees view these issues.

So it's funny and depressing to see a comment here questioning why a Russian company was allowed to join a program like this after a massive hack by Russian entities, when Russian efforts in this sphere are more than well-documented.

I don't understand how it's in any way feasible. Do none of these people own laptops with sensitive business or political information? How do they think they're going to protect any of it without strong encryption? Or all the sensitive data on their phones or other mobile devices? How do you secure anything ever against espionage without strong encryption? Have these people not put any thought into this?

I'm also baffled by his position. I often think that downvotes on HN serve to reinforce conformism to an accepted set of values and ideas. Which might be okay if, say, you want to "immunize" a community against racism, sexism or fake information, but isn't great if issues (as in politics or even in tech on a social level) are a lot more nuanced and there might be plenty of room to explore ideas off the beaten path (and no, I don't mean inane stuff like "but masks don't work" or "but it's just like the flu"). It's easy to find yourself on the receiving end of endless downvotes for something that isn't offensive but clashes with the accepted HN narrative.

It makes me wish downvotes weren't a thing. I'm okay with flagging, since I mostly see comments flagged that clearly break HN's simple rules.

As somebody with ADHD, I can't consume audiobooks at all. My mind just starts to wander 10 seconds in and eventually I realize I haven't been listening for the past half-hour. It's the same with talks or lectures on YouTube, though I've found that putting them at 2x speed helps to keep my attention.

I really do need a book in text form, because it allows me full control over how quickly or in what order I consume it. I learned a long time ago that reading books linearly doesn't work for me, so reading as I do involves a thorough look at the table of contents, then a lot of skimming and jumping back and forth to find the most interesting/stimulating bits and assembling that into a coherent view of the book.

Except even the most destructive technologies have lead to incalculably valuable advancements for society. This is clearly a step back when we'd rather funnel our best minds into ads rather than things that could in a very real way help advance our civilization.

We're going to regret this sooner than later.

Linux has been my main OS on at least one of my devices for as long as I can remember. I still think there's a stark difference in what applications are capable of. It feels like most Linux applications try to make GUIs as simple as possible, while shunting all possible advanced features into the command line. For example, there's not a single file browser that in any way compares to Directory Opus, which is my replacement file explorer on Windows.

Why disable service workers?

And it's still only half as effective as uBO on Firefox. The amount of pop-ups that manage to get through is absurd and it's one of the main reasons why Firefox remains my daily driver.

This exists for Windows though as a third-party application, which points to one of the reasons why Windows is great. There's great software for nearly anything you could think of. It's one of the main things I miss when I use Linux. The usability/functionality in the applications simply isn't there and it will never be there, for whatever reason.

Ah, a bit of a shame that it isn't supported yet. This looks like something that might interest my team and I would've loved to try it, but we're all on Linux. Looking forward to hearing about that being implemented.

Yes, they're working on multiple processes. They're working on both 7nm and 5nm, and it's expected that 10nm's yield issues will effectively be solved by releasing 7nm.

I think the problem is that the demographics are already niche for the existing Linux on mobile software ecosystem on a device with as many software issues as it has. Then the issue of what little extra money they could make doesn't make it easier to find components that match their philosophy, much less performant parts, making a high price an even harder sell. I like their current strategy and it seems to be working for them. Slowly build an audience while helping the ecosystem to develop while maintaining a sustainable business that isn't prone to demand falling off a cliff because your phone is suddenly a year old and people want the new hotness.

I don't quite understand. What's the difference between this PinePhone and the one they've been selling for the past year?

I know parts of Europe which would definitely benefit from Starlink. There are plenty of rural areas even in the most well-off EU countries with shitty internet.

Why do you care so much? Did you complain about the same thing with Steve Jobs, that we should be saying "Apple said" instead of "Jobs said"? Or Bill Gates? Mark Cerny? Or.. Well, in many situations where the CEO or other management of a company says something, where it's absolutely normal to mention who said it?
