This ruling is not about the users. It is about Google pressuring manufacturers. This is completely different case.

Re:Do political stickers work? (2020) on Thursday September 02, 2021 @06:15AM (#28390357)
Full agree. Political stickers are much more like graffiti tags. It's pretty fun to 'follow' some groups around by just recognizing their stickers.

Re:$1 Unistroke Recognizer (2007) on Wednesday May 05, 2021 @04:54AM (#27047668)
I used it to integrate sketching into a web-based diagram editor ~10 years ago and it was a breeze. OK, I had to train it myself. But it takes only minutes to draw all the shape variants needed. In practice I used 6 shapes and about 5 variants per shape. I conducted a usability test and the $1 recognizer only failed to recognizes the sketches 2-3 times out of ~300 shapes drawn by different users with no additional training.

gpick is a nice tool to do it: http://www.gpick.org
I'm on 0.11, too. OS crashes are rare ~2 time, maybe. It's minor things, embedded qr-scanner fails, AntennaPod crashes and needs a restart, some Apps like eBay just crash... But checking the apps I got from /e/'s-Store: They are up-to-date :)
I'm a FP3 and /e/ user for about half a year now. And well, it works for me but frankly there are some issues. Nothing I'm not willing to take, but it's different to the premium android device with google services before. The Appstore provides some apps. But not all of them and some are quite outdated. They seem to get their APKs from https://info.cleanapk.org/. Some apps just don't work or stop reacting to touches. But this can be an Issue with the missing Google Services. The FP3 is a decent phone. It does its job well images are ok (old camera) focus and stabilization are not as good as flagship phones. The fingerprint reader is pretty unreliable. It usually needs some tries... However, its repairable, the price is fair for what you get, they try to be sustainable, there is /e/-os and lineage available. That's the main reason I bought it: I expect to use it as long as I want and not only as log as the manufacturer publishes the patches.

It's the official solution created by Interactive Advertising Bureau and as the standard way to opt-out for all the companies in this organization: https://github.com/InteractiveAdvertisingBureau/GDPR-Transpa...

There are serious doubts if this is a complaint way to handle cookie consent.

It should be Open Access all the time. Keep the change!
Re:DuckDuckGo will use Apple Maps on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @04:16AM (#18919336)
OSM is really awesome in (western) Europe. I use it all the time. All new bike trails are in it. Even the trees in down town are in it. It is even great for car navigation. I used the map data to navigate in tiny beach villages in Spain, for a round trip in Iceland and on several other occasions in western Europe. However, i only relied on the data and let my Garmin device create the routes.
Google does the same. They regularly send your password to their server to rate it. A curl-example is provided below.

I think I already noticed that some websites used googles api to do the rating of passwords on their website but I can't recall where I saw it.

curl 'https://accounts.google.com/RatePassword' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'Passwd=jbcfaihrwefgbGWETZHGAESjbnajfcw24704%$§&%§!vf&[email protected]=&FirstName=Hacker&LastName=News'

or another endpoint:

curl 'https://accounts.google.com/InputValidator?resource=SignUp' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"input01":{"Input":"Passwd","Passwd":"GoogleBatteryHorseStaple","PasswdAgain":"GoogleBatteryHorseStaple","FirstName":"Hacker","LastName":"News","GmailAddress":"[email protected]"},"Locale":"en"}'

Well, they seem to have some opensourced some of their code. But they are far away form being free software although they claim to use the GPL. If I can't build the software myself, I won't use it.
Flash is not installed, so there is no need to block. For Adblocking I use Bluhell Firewall, to stop tracking Ghostery and Self-destructing cookies. On top of that I run noScript to kill remaining junk. And because I like to encrypt: HttpsEverywhere.

Maybe the password is the same for the wp-admin user. Password reuse is a really serious and common problem.

Re:Ask HN: How do I become a faster programmer? on Saturday March 21, 2015 @06:06AM (#9242306)
Don't google every error and use the top answer on stackoverflow to fix ist. Read the docs and try to understand why your solution didn't work in the first place. Basically this results in getting familiar with stdlibs and/or frameworks.
Bountysource should invite projects to their program rather than removing them on request. As this discussion and previous ones have shown diffrent communities, diffrent maintainer even diffrent project member have diffrent opinios on introducing financial rewards into their projects and need to firstly discuss it. Afterwards they can approve or reject getting the offer listed on bs.

Re:Show HN: Password-Protect My File on Wednesday March 05, 2014 @02:10PM (#7349044)
It's the same as using openssl aes-256-cbc -in plaintext -out ciphertext That's as easy and convenient as it can get for me. But it might be helpful if I have to send an encrypted file to someone not able to use openssl or gpg. It's pretty cool to combine an encrypted file with the tools needed to decrypt it :)
