Throwing shade at the FSF by not calling it GNU+Linux?
Re:Chinese Netizen Fined over 1M Yuan for Using VPN on Friday October 06, 2023 @02:38AM (#37787793)
The way international roaming works, is similar to a VPN back to your home cellular network on the back end, this all happens transparently to the user. You can verify this whilst traveling if you browse to any site using IP geolocation, it will think you are in your home country.
Re:Enabling IPv6 support for IPv4-only apps on Linux on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @01:50PM (#37768974)
China has mandated moving to single-stack IPv6 by the end of the decade.

It is not well publicized.

It turns out when you have a government that can tell you "move to IPv6 or we'll have your legs broken and your family thrown in prison" it's a bit easier to get things moving.

This isn't a workaround; it is a kludge. There are far better solutions in this problem space (some mentioned in this very thread).

Or you could purchase inFuse, point it to a Samba server and literally walk away and be done. They even support connecting to a Jellyfin backend. Paying for commercial software that works out of the box, I know, the horror, I'm literally shaking.

Clearly you have never dealt with traffic in the Holland Tunnel.

What is the point of this? Why do people care? Do you expect these people to fly commercial like you and me? Hoping for that fateful day when you're sandwiched between Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos on a Ryanair flight, so you can give them your elevator speech with all three of your knees pressed up against your nostrils?

Taylor Swift would be mobbed everywhere in the airport.

Donald was a former president. The Secret Service doesn't let you drive a car after that, let alone fly commercial. Even if they wanted to; they can't. Many former presidents were car fanatics; Bush Jr. lamented to Jay Leno about not being able to drive his truck off private property anymore. 45 was known for sneaking past security detail in his pre-POTUS days to drive his Rolls around NYC. Not to mention Biden and his Corvettes, in his pre-dementia days anyway.

This article is implying wrongdoing for situations can logically cannot exist.

Re:Safely open apps on your Mac on Thursday September 28, 2023 @12:00AM (#37685098)
Microsoft has had digital signing with Authenticode certificates for ~20 years now but they didn't give it a fancy name like "notarization" so nobody cares.

"Safely" is strong language that implies software digitally signed by Apple does not contain malware. In my experience, their system is more a sieve than the condom it purports to be.

> keep up the drug treatment so the children of people with drug problems stand a chance

The current "treatment" is to hand out free drug paraphernalia and what has been proposed in cities like SF and Seattle are taxpayer-funded "safe injection sites" fully staffed with nurses. An analogy would be to try and cure a rat problem by sitting on a park bench tossing them pieces of bread. It's irrational and it doesn't work.

In 15 years, I only had a crackhead try to forcibly open my passenger door at a stoplight one time, so clearly this is an overreaction. Maybe he just needed a ride.

Tell HN: Amazon Music UX is embarrassingly unusable

I don't even know where to start with this, but the UI/UX of Amazon Music is so incomprehensibly bad it's hard to believe it wasn't put together by first year interns. We're led to believe that FAANG hires the best of the best minds but it's increasingly obvious this can't be the case anymore. A short list of my experiences:* Infinite scroll is broken in the desktop browser. I can't access...
