Re:Nothing is stopping feral pigs in Canada on Saturday March 25, 2023 @01:01PM (#35304599)
In Texas we kill wild pigs. Behead wild pigs. Roundhouse kick a wild pig into the concrete. Slam dunk a wild pig baby into the trashcan. Defecate in a wild pigs food. Launch wild pigs into the sun. Stir fry wild pigs in a wok. Toss wild pigs into active volcanoes. Urinate into a wild pigs gas tank. Judo throw wild pigs into a wood chipper. Twist wild pigs heads off. Report wild pigs to the IRS. Karate chop wild pigs in half. Curb stomp pregnant wild pigs. Trap wild pigs in quicksand. Crush wild pigs in the trash compactor. Liquefy wild pigs in a vat of acid. Eat wild pigs. Dissect wild pigs. Exterminate wild pigs in the gas chamber. Stomp wild pig skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate wild pigs in the oven. Lobotomize wild pigs. Mandatory abortions for wild pigs. Grind wild pig fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown wild pigs in fried chicken grease. Vaporize wild pigs with a ray gun. Kick old wild pigs down the stairs. Feed wild pigs to alligators. Slice wild pigs with a katana.
>Asking that CEO "does TikTok access the home wifi network?" is such an incomplete question.

It's similar to what phones ask the user on behalf of the app.

I don't see what the problem is, imo it is a specific question. Almost no apps access the home wifi network, they connect to a remote server on the wan side of the network going directly through the default gateway/router, knowing nothing of the devices in the lan.

Perhaps this could be achieved by blacklisting the cloudflare parent certificate in your browser?
That's false. You can download the app and check yourself.
Who's going to pay for that? Not only the software, but the video hosting, transcoding, etc.

And don't tell me you can do it with p2p - the entire point of tiktok is that you can load new videos by swiping your finger. If every video takes 10 seconds to begin buffering nobody will want to use your app.

Of course they do. It's got another name (抖音) but it's basically the same exact product.
How does he feel about being a sodomite?
I'd rather install edge on my computer than type more than one sentence using my phone.
I signed up to the Bing GPT "beta" waitlist (I hadn't logged into my Microsoft account in years) only to be told, days later, that I had to use Edge to try it. I noped out of there.
All of reddit leans progressive, I refuse to touch it myself.
I suppose those who have a problem with this would rather live in a cashless society, right?
That changed recently, 13th gen intel remains to be beaten.
Funny that if you google "Who Owns the Future", the Google featured snippet says the answer is Jaron Lanier.
Why not? EPA exists because you can't "escape" the environment. But the web? If social media is full of crap, then don't visit it - that's what I do.
At the same price tag and with the same taste and colour?
>obviously staff would recognize him

I think it's probable that they wouldn't.

Re:Acropalypse: Windows Save File API is defective by design on Thursday March 23, 2023 @08:35AM (#35273732)
"How did this make it into production" is what I've felt every time I've had to use metro apps since Windows 8 was released.
It's not a false dichotomy. You can't have an office work culture if most people choose not to go to the office.
>What I'm worried about is a lot of the talk about guarding models, public safety and misuse of models will end up leading every big company to pull public access of their APIs.

Look at how Facebook closed down their APIs when Cambridge-Analytica occurred.

Literally any difference between men and women can be explained by BPD.
Chrome will still be faster even if ublock doesn't block as much as FF does. In fact the new declarative filters will most likely be faster than the current ones.

Gmail was so much better than the competition... in fact, it still is.

Bard, on the other hand...

Re:Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @09:20AM (#35245722)
Yeah? If they don't know how to operate a computer then they shouldn't be operating one. The same I would feel if someone without a licence crashed their car.
Demonstrably false.
Re:Curl 8.0.1 because I jinxed it on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @05:24AM (#35244081)
Isn't it really irritating when HN goes through the annoying fangirl phase with a certain developer?

At least the Drew DeVault days are over.

That would require coordination from the ad delivery networks.
Re:Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists in City of London on Monday March 20, 2023 @10:03AM (#35231642)
Then it's not wonder people would rather cycle. What a deceptive headline.
A poor argument? To me, as a final user, it's the greatest one.

>Because according to the typical regulator it’s bad when others impose limits, but not when they impose limits.

I agree, regulators shouldn't exist.

Didn't they make it very, very expensive to drive in the City of London?
I wish I could understand that article, but it just doesn't have enough emojis :(
