While most Flatpaks by default aren't all tuned up, you can easily set overrides for them, see `man flatpak-override`. There also exist `Flatseal` which is a GUI for doing so.

AppImage can be used with Firejail.

Firejail use is trivial to setup, we try to keep out of box breakage minimal but still strict, just `sudo apt install firejail && sudo firecfg` + a logout and back in.

Kind of. As I explained in my sibling comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26801359 , it really exists because people (e.g. intranet administrators) expose resources based on your network status or IP addresses. I think this is a bit more general than specifically VPNs.

If it wasn't for that, then yeah, we could just strip cookies/client certs/etc. from cross-origin requests and they'd be safe.

No, as long as you are paying I don't see that problem. Its only when you are getting "free" services were you are a product and not a costumer. People forget that corporations are there to make money and nothing else. All the rest is little more than theater. The reason that Twitter, Facebook, etc. bans you is because advertisers don't want to put money on the places you are because you are problematic. What's the use of you for YouTube as a content creator if they have to demonetize your channel because add buyers don't like you? Say Alex Jones for example. He is nothing but a cost to them, and on top of that, it gives them bad publicity all over the place.
This is the bottom line, these are private corporations managing a private business trying to make money, the rest is just a lot of hot air and click bait created by other business that want to push outrage and controversy because it's what gets the more clicks.
A lot of complaints sounds to be hardware specific, so there's really no cure for it than filing the bugs.

> Ubuntu LTS, I also tried Fedora and it was even worse.

The firmware for a lot of hardware has been lacking for years and sometimes can bug down after upgrades. And we shouldn't even speak about the proprietary buggy-man that terrorizes a lot of linux users trying to get their hardware to work, that is called NVidia.
If you would have waited upgrading for a few weeks after a new release becomes available things are often fixed. You need to understand is that it's community effort and filing bugs is also very important.

Missed the Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure, did you? I wish I could call it insight, but it was just blind luck and timing that I got a Switch and Ring Fit before Covid hit. I have to say, for something that I thought would a lockdown gadget purchase I'd regret later, I'm still using it. And I don't need my exercise gamified, I've been a distance runner since before the first Sony Walkman. But it is a surprising amount of fun, and impressively done with a variety of options. And, runner or couch potato, it can be a decent workout. The Apple Watch says it burns a reasonable amount of calories for time spent.

But anyway, back to the point, Ring Fit is just the Switch version of Wii Fit (for loose definitions of...), so it's not a new thing.

I know you can do this, but then you can't do

You could do

const { Function1, Function2 } = Oak;

But that is still an awful workaround.

How come more people don't use ReasonML in place of this? It runs as OCaml on the server, it is a typed language, it's faster than v8 JavaScript. Or F#? Not a fan of the functional? Then maybe Kotlin? Nim? No?

There are a ton of great languages out there, many arguably better than TS in many ways. But for a language to be popular, being great is not enough.

I'm not sure what it is that makes TS so popular, but I am pretty sure that you have to look past mere language qualities for it.
I wish my discord did that... it just errors after timing out trying to connect to their update server. Sometimes force killing helps, sometimes trying the next day does. Once it connects the rest is all automatic though.
I can think of at least one reason where tax calculated on the final total vs each price is better (for the consumer), rounding. With tax calculated on the final total, you pay at most $0.01 extra in rounding “errors”. However with tax calculated on each price you pay at most number of items times $0.01, which is more and could add up over time. I personally want to give the gov as little of my money as possible.

Stupidity transcends parties. I have no dog in your fight, and I would not be voting for democrats if they were politicians where I live.

That said, despite all the new new age stupidity and antivaxx misinformation from some liberals, only one party has a platform that is obviously anti-science.

He's a developer that's been dealing with Apple for quite a while, I see no issue with him having a position on what he believes Apple cares about.
Yes. If the alternative is a climate catastrophe, I will have to accept that.

Again, the same applies to everything. You might not find a regulation about how much mercury is allowed in food items necessary or even "useful", but I, and many other people, are glad it exists.
AWS DynamoDB is multi-AZ and is strongly consistent (at least for a single key update).

I believe you confused it with a Dynamo DB described in a paper Amazon published long ago. AWS DynamoDB has nothing to do with a eventually consistent design the paper describes. It was purely marketing gimmick to call the new AWS Service that.
> Most Android users use the Google Play Store.

This as you must be aware, is because first class alternative stores are not possible on Android.

> Facebook does not run their own separate Android app store, even though they could

This as you must be aware, is because first class alternative stores are not possible on Android.

> Apple is a master of dark patterns and social engineering, and can easily convey the safety of the App Store without stooping to heavy-handedness that would trigger regulators.

This is made up and has no validity.

> I find your lack of faith in Apple to be most disturbing. It's easily imaginable for Apple to re-frame the entire game so that they are the ones who are encouraging third parties...

More fantasy. After years of public statements to the contrary this is not realistic.

> You are refusing to acknowledge that when someone is scammed, the scammer is the one who holds the greatest fault for doing so. By doing so, you are passing the buck up the the responsibility chain.

They may hold the greatest fault, but facilitating scammers and then blaming them is kinda silly.

Apple is taking responsibility for reducing scams. Let’s not stop them.

> Apple's App Store enforcement standards have been slipping compared to previous years.

A claim with zero evidence.

> Its clear that scammers are far less limited than back when Apple was more diligent at stopping malicious apps from being on their own platform.

A false conclusion. There can be simply more scams being attempted and so more slipping through. Indeed this would be expected in a growing market.

> And you seem to be the only one who believes that Apple cannot extend protections even to hypothetical Apple-powered third party app stores.

The only one along with everyone else who understands computer science.

> At the end of the day, they control the operating system. They would always have ultimate control.

Obviously not, for two reasons.

1. Nobody in history has ever produced a perfectly secure operating system.

2. No anti-trust regulator would allow Apple to block apps installed by other stores.

> Finally, the original statement you are responding to is talking about the possibility of third party app stores that are more secure than the Apple App Store. Given the App Store's huge size and apparently slipping safety standards, it's certainly possible for new entrants to provide competition and offer an even better curated and secure experience than the one Apple provides. By preventing Apple from allowing the creation of such third party app stores, you are in effect the one forcing Apple to reduce protections, making their customers vulnerable.

This is of course nonsense.

Stores won’t compete on security. They’ll compete for customers using all the usual mechanisms - buying exclusives, tying their stores to other services and products, heavy marketing, and discrediting their competitors.

Even if a store did exist that was less scammy than Apple’s, it simply wouldn’t have everything a customer wanted anyway.

Does anyone run System76 hardware with a distro other than Pop!_OS and if so, how's it working out for you? I love what the company is doing and will probably consider a System76 laptop in the future (once they move away from Clevo to custom designs), but I'm pretty attached to my Linux environment of choice. Arch Linux and KDE Plasma have been very good to me for years and the idea of moving to an apt + GNOME-based system doesn't quite appeal to me. That said, the tiling window management features here look really nice and I'd love to see something similar for Plasma (KWin scripts work fine but have always felt just a bit jank in my experience).

One major thing to consider when thinking about replacing JS with another language:

All JS already works inside TS so it's really easy to slowly transition your project over time between the two languages without losing any functionality or needing to take time off to make the transition.

In practice this means, new code can just be written with TS and any existing code updates can be made in TS. After that you can decide whether to even touch the remaining JS which still works.
> someone comes up with a playbook convincing nontechnical users they need to send mobile coin to them in order to keep using signal.

This sounds pretty unlikely, as long as signal does not integrate a payment processor (and they've made no indication they will) the majority of users will not have enabled or funded their cryptocurrency wallet(s) (whichever cryptocurrency they settle on).

Funding MobileCoin requires steps of non insignificant difficulty, not to mention Signal's trust model of using your contacts by default.
> What I DONT care about is the Email client they are working on. I'd rather see them focus on the browser features.

Like you, I've used Vivaldi for years. I downloaded because of the email client. Opera's M2 was a great mail client. I'm probably in the minority of users who don't use the usual suspects for webmail, and having an integrated mail client is nice. M2, in particular did some nice things:

* Fast full-text search through mail

* No organization: automatic mailing list aggregation; easy contact management; easy email filter by contact or thread

* Keyboard navigable.

* Doesn't default to top-quoting.

* RSS integration.

The M3 client had to be rewritten, one presumes, as a Chrome extension. This had to be pretty awful, considering, and probably explains part of the reason that everything took so long. I've been driving M3 for awhile, and what I really miss is suitable keyboard shortcuts. For the most part I've been very happy with it, though.
I think MS has ARM based Surface laptops.

It's just that they're a joke compared to the M1.

> I meant the original comment where you levied a personal attack against me.

I think you mean me. What I actually wrote was:

> Comment history on the topic of COVID is littered with trollish behavior and bonkers-bad reasoning fitting a pattern.

And I stand by that statement. You've had a long history of rolling out dubious arguments and posting inflammatory misinformation with a deliberate agenda to minimize COVID from the very beginning, the whole damn year. I have no idea why. Your comments on other topics seem reasonable and level-headed, but your COVID trolling is just off the charts. I wish you would just stop it. The world hasn't even processed the trauma of going through millions of deaths, we're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and we got you out here just making more noises again, with driveby doubt mongering. Every. damn. time. Only with one more zero on the death counts each time. Please, just can it, dude. What are you hoping to accomplish? Talking people out of getting vaccines? You're afraid that you need to take a vaccine, because it's just the sniffles, or something? Fuck off with that already, the world's been on fire for a year. People I know have died. Friends of mine have long COVID. Friends of mine are doctors, nurses, who have seen thousands die. Fuck off with your stupid "gene therapy" fear mongering, on exactly the wrong thing, in exactly the wrong direction, at exactly the wrong time.
That is called society. Have you ever worked in a private company? Went to a private business, like a restaurant or a shopping mall? What happens if you start insulting people and been rude and un-polite like people are in social media? You get fired or you are asked to leave. This is the reason why when you go to a new job they ask for references and call your old employers to inquire about you. The internet is going to be the same. You are going to have a reputation to protect or you are going to pay a price.
Sure it will. I mean, coastal cities will flood regardless, but the nations which understand what's going on and get a head start on a compassionate, equitable approach to relocation will fare much better than those which prize rugged individualism and react to a climate refugee crisis with victim-blaming.
I'm not sure what that has to do with my argument. Besides, banks have less and less walls, guards, and vaults, because they keep less and less cash on premise.

This is a prime example of the monetary system having been made more efficient over time.

> like Budgie

I also would like it more if System76 contributed to existing project like Bugie instead. It's tiresome how GNOME monoculture is dictating everything in GTK nowdays.
Three quick points:

You have to multiply the IFR by the odds that the person gets COVID to begin with. In countries where there's no community transmission (Australia) or in countries where it's possible to kill the virus just by vaccinating the at-risk population combined with shut-downs, the multiplier should be pretty small. Even in countries that have handled it badly, it still might be only a 1/3 or 1/2 chance of catching it. So as a young healthy person my chances of dying from COVID are probably less than 1/100000.

I bring this up because I think it misses the actual point. Even if the vaccine had a 1/100000 chance of death or major complications, I would still take it. Because my life is not the only one that matters. Killing the virus is likely (in this country) to require most people who are physically capable (including the young) of taking the vaccine. My taking on a 1/100k risk with the vaccine vs a 1/100k risk without the vaccine is worth it, because for most other adults, the risk is much greater than 1/100k if the population doesn't get vaccinated.

Fortunately, I don't think pausing J&J is necessarily the wrong decision, even given the argument I just made. AFAIK it's the least common of the three vaccines, and so there should not be many "missing" vaccinations that result from the pause. The fact that taking a risk is justified does not mean that pointless risk is justified.

> it gives an impression that black girls need to do programming in a protected separated environment because the environment at large is not safe for them or accepting of them

That's a pretty accurate impression. And it's not groups like BGC perpetuating that idea, it's the culture at large. We're nowhere near the utopian ideal where black groups are overly cautious about American society.

Mass migrations and food shortages are happening now, but not as bad as they will be. This is due to both climate and US Monroe doctrine meddling (crime caused by the War on Drugs and installation of right-wing leaders with death squads).
I'm trying to charitably understand what you're advocating for but it sounds like you're arguing that getting multiple people to use any app is criteria for dark pattern because once they do start using that app, to switch you have to convince them as a group. So.. should everyone use different apps? Or is a protocol the solution?

As far as where data is stored, which sounds a bit like a different argument, I guess what you're advocating for is some kind of peer-to-peer sync solution across family member devices that would work anywhere. That's cool but I think it may a lot of technical complexity vs a cloud solution, and it still doesn't change the fact that you still have the issue above about switching as a group.

It might be worth reviewing what dark pattern actually means - UI tricks to get people to do things they don't want to do. If people like a product enough that they convince others to use it as well, that's ... a good product? I get the data storage concern though.

Because it blows the cover of diplomacy. Sovereign nations not at war aren’t supposed to conduct hostile ops against each other.

Diplomacy and international relations are sort of their own universe with their protocols, traditions etc. Admitting to the attack would mean that the US appears as the blatant aggressor, and may have to make concessions. Plausible deniability is often safe and has no consequences.
