Ah the wonders of SPA! I know there are lighter ones, but it is not the first time hearing things like React being slow. Of course, when one start to do sntax highlighting on the client side....

Shamelessly authentic might be what is causing the increasingly success now days.

Doubt that shamelessly corrupt will have the same effect.

Nice to know that, but are the data-centers Carrington Event proof? Always wondered that, but never worked in a data-center.
It is better to NOT delete facebook, but spam your profile with other data and just leave it.
A educated guess would be that the establishments intentionally want to have these monopolies around, so they stand down on the antitrust stuff, and in they would get total control and surveillance. That is how you get these guy like Peter Thiel going to Standford to recommend everyone to start a monopoly as their business model. In reality these guy (groups with low cost access to capital) have no clue how to really run a business they are just heavily subsidize by the establishment.
Would it also be true for DNS over HTTPS right.

Re:What Will Become of the CIA? on Monday July 21, 2025 @11:34PM (#44642985)
Spun off to another subsidiary seems like the game here!

Not just CIA. Whenever military industrial complex or bankers want a make over, defers litigation risks or just conceal ownership, they just create a subsidiary, spun it off with another name and/or hide the everything behind client attorney privileges.

It also gives the public a memory wipe. Very clever technique indeed.

Re:I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022) on Thursday July 17, 2025 @06:38PM (#44599072)
>No, the vast majority of people use their phones as video viewers, increasingly so after the rise of TikTok. I have family members in their 30s who don't have laptops or TVs, all media is consumed through their phone, and for most kids/teens across the world it is their primary video consumption device.

That is one thing that is more disgusting about using a smart phone now days. When iPhone first came out it is about a music player and phone with extra features to facilitate real life things.

I don't want a freaking small computer in my pocket, and looking at small screens for long period of time is just NOT good for our eyes or postural.

We need to start treat these small devices as something we interact with very occasionally to facilitate real life interaction, not get our face stuck to it.

Not that working on laptop or workstation is much better, but it is better than writing on and viewing a video on small screen.

Thank you for bring this (conduit) up!!! Nothing beats a binary and toml/json/yml file deployment!!!

And it is what great about the matrix.org vs other open source app such as Telegram/Signal/Wire.... The protocol was designed to be open. If you don't like the client, write one, if you don't like the server, write another. Just follow the API specification. Being it is REST it is much easier to decipher than IMAP/SMTP. And port 443 works every where! Even on proxied Internet!!

To be fair on matrix.org they recommend that you host your own server. Main selling point of matrix.org is there is NO centralized server!!! That is whole point of using matrix instead of Telegram, Signal, Wire.

Element for smart phone, please make it very easy to change custom server instead of the default "matrix.org" ( Schildi Chat did a good job in their UI) I would recommend matrix client over Element TBH.

>Also, if one can leverage multicast that's nice, but not only clouds have it disabled, and Aeron works fine with unicast to N.

How did that happened? Seems multicast is already built in, just use that for massive broadcast. Is TCP used just so we can get an ACK that it is received. Seems multicast and UDP shouldn't be a problem if we just want massive people to listen in on it, but if we want to also track these people then that is another story.

From a user perspective, use UDP/multicast all the way. Let the client to request something if it is dropped or missing or otherwise just multicast for everything.

Re:Apple vs the Law on Saturday July 12, 2025 @07:51AM (#44541405)
Good luck with that. Even when Standard Oil has being broken up, it just resulted in a bunch of smaller but more profitable companies. Following the breakup of Standard Oil, the government created the Oil Division of the US Fuel Administration and the Federal Oil Conservation Board, effectively making the oil industry a government-protected monopoly.

With the JEDI contracts ect that is basically what is happening to Google, MS and AWS.

Re:Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @07:01PM (#44438746)
Hmm while projects like this is nice. But being it NOT open source such OmmWriter is what stopped me eventually stop using it.

Writing in program such as that is a very personal experience, and doing it on a non open source platform just seems off for me.

Re:Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta on Monday June 30, 2025 @12:10PM (#44424953)
Very nice! Looks like OmmWriter. Is it open source?

there is also Bruno and Bru seems quite similar this: https://docs.usebruno.com/bru-lang/overview

It is targeted toward more postman crowd though. May not be as lightweight.

>Is the main benefit that we can do all of this in natural language?

Hit it right on the nail. That is pretty much the breakthrough with LLM has being. It does allow the class of non programmer developer to be able to tasks that once was only for developers and programmers. Seems like a great fit for CEO and management as well.

And on top of that if you want make any money with company like X, you need to send your biometrics to some company in Israel. What is this Israel and surveillance capitalism? Or has this always being the case, and I am just now start to realizing it.
