Counterpoint: generated CSAM on his platform.
The problem with opt-in telemetry is that 95% of users are sick and tired of being spied on with every little thing they do.
Probably for the best. Quality is nonexistent vs a decade ago.
Re:Apple is dropping AFP/TimeCapsule support in macOS 27 on Monday April 27, 2026 @03:33PM (#47926219)
It’s more tangential than unrelated. It’s how conversation naturally flows, and this is a discussion board. No need to fire up a new post.

On another tangential note: you’re insufferable. If you’re like this in the real world, I can’t imagine you’ve got many people wanting to hold a conversation for very long.

Re:Cal.diy: open-source community edition of cal.com on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @05:29PM (#47854739)
You might want to double-check the cal.diy maintainer before your wish is granted..
Sure it’s strange, which is exactly why so many folks* recommended calling the police.

I’m really unsure what you want this community to answer beyond that. There’s nothing we can investigate for you.

*Context: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1sljeh6/my_isp...

Isn’t the answer fairly simple?

They were going to disconnect it either way, and the 15-year-old was the one that answered the door.

Cable internet sucks, but you’re being ridiculous. Get a seedbox if you’re torrenting that much my dude.

I believe the answers on reddit said about the same, why drag this out further?

And call the cops if the tech was trespassing.

This is how you’re coming off: https://imgur.com/a/hiUyh19

You really need to calm down and act more professional.

Between that and his behavior in this HN thread, looks like I'm done buying from Adafruit. Shame, they were decent.

Feels like yet another solution in search of a problem.

All the same, looks like y’all are having fun working on it, and maybe some unforeseen usecase will bubble up.

That’d be the autism kicking in, you’re gonna have to be 10% less miserable if you want anyone to put up with you.
I'd imagine there's a fair amount of folks with autism here. Nothing wrong with that, but it can lead to these narrower perspectives about certain social topics.
Re:The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job on Saturday January 25, 2025 @04:48PM (#42825200)
I feel like there’s a disconnect in this thread. The things I mentioned are pretty standard fare.

If you don’t mind me asking, are you a senior level engineer?

Re:The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job on Saturday January 25, 2025 @06:07AM (#42820934)
How much of the article did you read? They were looking for a senior, with more than twice the experience the poster has. Being able to pump out algos is only part of the job.

While there a solution is clever, it’s not terribly maintainable and likely didn’t fit the bill.

Beyond that, things like soft skills matter for senior roles. The author can write, there’s no denying that, but we don’t know how well they can explain the why of their solution. It’s very likely the interviewers wanted more traditional functions that were unit-testable.

Re:GitHub Git Operations Are Down on Monday January 13, 2025 @08:40PM (#42692392)
Have you never fixed a prod-specific bug before? They’re common enough, and it sounds like they patched this one within a reasonable amount of time.
GitLab user, then?

If I’m reading the formula docs right, only homebrew-core packages don’t support it (due to CI not testing them). That part does suck, though.

Other taps, like homebrew-ffmpeg, offer a ton of options.
