Anthropic is massively bigger than a studio, Zig is massively smaller than Unity, and it wasn’t a quiet switch, it was a huge publicity event. It’s more like the #1 movie of the year being “The Profound Joy of Finally…
Thank you for taking this stance. It is the mature, intellectual, and virtuous one, and with it you are on civilization’s side. The US is currently in a very bad place politically. It’s visible not just in politicians,…
To be fair, where this applies is specific countries outside the US, not just outside tech. Very few Americans own a smartphone and not a computer, and they are mostly poor and not in the market for an ultra-luxury…
Huh, yeah, I’m not seeing it there either. The macOS app is what I checked previously. iOS-only users might be able to see it at 1password.com. Weird inconsistency.
I think it’s basically recalcitrance. Same as they suddenly turn into the world’s worst devs every time they have to make software for Windows. Apple hates mouses, but many people won’t consider not using one, so they…
1Password does do full previous versions. It might be a newer feature, I’m only seeing passwords, not full versions, prior to 2018.
It doesn’t, it opens Apple Music. Apple has a longstanding problem with giving their own apps privileged roles that they don’t expose to competitors. What concessions exist in browsers, maps, and music player are all…
This should be at the top. It pisses people off because we reflexively think “I’m not a weak-willed procrastinator” or “I’m no addict” or “it’s not that simple”, but it is the truth, and the way to fix it, and harder…
The first amendment is indeed concerned only with the US government’s interaction with the matter, as is appropriate, but that does not imply it’s without other limitation. Your list is very broad and covers a wide…
I agree in theory, but this is so extremely far from the US political and social system that I think no nation has ever changed so much without being overthrown. So unless you’re talking about plans for a post-US world,…

Strictly necessary cookies don’t require explicit consent, and generally can’t be rejected. Functional cookies don’t require additional explicit consent if you actually use that function. “Performance” actually refers…
This is already what LibreWolf does for most of its fingerprinting protection, including resolution, which you call out. It already works, LibreWolf is the only browser besides Tor I’ve found that actually defeated…
This is misinformation stemming from disinformation propagated by organized industry retaliation to the law. Cookie banners are not and never have been required by law, they are intentional harassment designed to make…
Genuinely, I’d recommend you spend a day manually verifying every AI answer you otherwise would have just trusted. I suspect what you’ll find is actually that you cannot bring yourself to do it. I’ve found myself…
This is going to be unpopular here, but life became easier when I quit trying to write semantic HTML. It’s just poorly designed, I’m sorry. Every time I’ve reached for a <dl> I’ve eventually regretted it because I…
Every single macOS update the top comments are about giving it six months to stabilize, but when a program’s biggest ever rewrite involves a lot of AI, the top comment is calling you irrational if you don’t YOLO it, and…
The known/unknown question is not separate in the real world, computing avoids it by asking binary questions only when they’re answerable. Considered generally, though, if I ask a true/false question then read your…
It’s phones, mainly. People do also have multiple other devices, yes. For me another big pro is having a realtime offsite backup and being able to survive simultaneous loss of all my devices, which is plausible in…
Down for me too, in the Philippines. Maybe it’s not down in the US. I found out when I was using DuckDuckGo just fine while my friend thought the internet was down, that was kind of fun.
> what do you actually want? Give me the ability to choose what I trust. “You can either trust Apple and nobody else, even yourself, or you can trust literally everybody” is obviously not a good faith implementation of…
Is this really true? The Mullvad report a year or so ago was that they didn’t want to turn on no exceptions mode because it breaks network connectivity until reboot if you don’t pause it when updating the app, not that…
Never retaliating is a great way to get people to attack you. Of course escalating to all-out war provokes the same in response, but there does need to be a proportionate response, because it needs to be stupid to hurt…
This page helped me understand what they’re going for: https://patapom.com/blog/Lighting/Colored%20Penumbra/Colored.... The way I’m intuiting it: some things will “glow” when strongly illuminated, and the glow is more…
A week ago GitHub published a blog post saying this, a day later GitHub execs were in HN comments repeating it, and just like that it’s common knowledge that GitHub’s steady reliability decline from the 2019 onward was…
