You realize China is having its own demographic crash, yeah? And India's birth rate is at or below replacement? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_India Bluntly, whether you meant to or not, this comment is…
So, to be clear, I spent my time reverse engineering software rather than the hardware itself. That said, my observation is that a lot of hardware reverse engineering is software reverse engineering since the software…
Yup, very true.
Shame the dream of multicast died...
ffs, they're OAuth providers. It's not like they're passing the video streams over to Google and Facebook so they can mine them for PII. All they'll learn is that a user with an identity on their platform is using…
No, this is like a restaurant giving you free food, and then when they change the recipe, you saying "WTF, you changed the food and now it's too salty, I hate it. Yeah, I could cook my own meal, but screw that, I demand…
> but we badly need more options just as accessible- what other E2EE anonymous web-browser accessible tool is as available to the masses, that they can be convinced to use? Just stand up your own instance and make it…

> I doubt this is due to illegal things. There's kind of a limit to how much you can do illegally on a video feed. ... are... are you joking?!
Just popping in to say: me too! I feel like there needs to be a community or forum for people like us. I know at least one other person in my circle doing the same. Seems to be rare but more common than I realized...
Not worth it. A temperature controllable kettle that shuts itself off and can keep water warm is both incredibly convenient and far more safe.
It's Electron-based, yes. Anyone using it on Wayland with fractional scaling will know that...
No you don't. A ban forces industries to create alternatives. Otherwise they won't bother. You just schedule a phased elimination over time so those alternatives can get developed. That's precisely how the Montreal…
Except ironically there's a theory that a lack of parasitic infections may contribute to autoimmune diseases: https://focus.science.ubc.ca/worms-ae3a1579c58c Humanity evolved with parasites. Like gut bacteria, excessive…
Ah but that's a very different thing. You're treating tech as a hobby and engaging with it accordingly. This piece literally started with: > My software developer colleagues often ask me where I do get all the time for…
Guess again. I'm old enough to realize that tying your self-worth to objectified life goals and measurable achievements is a fool's errand sold to us by a self-help industrial complex designed to make us feel as bad as…
Yeah except the piece started with: > My software developer colleagues often ask me where I do get all the time for reading all the tech books or articles, watching conference talks and listening to podcasts. They're…
Another commenter also made a very good point: you've gotta let off the gas a bit. If everyone is going flat out, the surrounding pressures will cause people to prioritize being responsive to those pressures. But that…
If you think that's a good idea, you don't understand why tools like awk/perl/sed/etc exist and are popular. They are, by design, optimized toward specific kinds of use cases. In fact, their dynamically typed nature is…
Just gonna say: my god I hate productivity hacking culture. No, I am not going to optimize in additional professional learning in my off hours. I have a life. And I'm allowed to have idle time where I spend it just…
Totally agreed. This was my policy with my staff. I straight up told them they can and should take a couple hours a week (tried to start small to make it achievable) on personal development, whether that's reading…
Apparently Elon was more serious with that kitchen sink gag than we realized...
Breaks? How? Jekyll doesn't enforce or validate links between posts. I know this because I build my site with --limit_posts all the time (it's literally part of my build pipeline due to the way I handle webmentions). Is…
On Android you have to pop open a menu and find the install option. That's not inherently discoverable as you need to know it's even possible, and most people don't. It would be trivial to present the user with a more…
I used to think that, and then I started using Phanpy and Voyager. PWAs can be surprisingly good if they're done well. The problem is the mobile platforms have done nothing to optimize the experience or encourage their…
