I've also had email from the wrong person delivered to me some times. One company in particular kept sending updates for a service I had no way of using. An unsubscribe link would have been handy, though confirming email addresses before linking them to an account would also be a good idea, probably.

Oh wow I had no idea I could use a custom domain with iCloud, and I'm already paying for the 2TB tier and family sharing. Thanks!
I've been a paying customer of rsync's service for more than a decade. The only mail I get is the monthly invoice, and roughly once-per-year notice of infrastructure changes that may temporarily affect availability.
I agree there's no pressure on these companies as a whole. Ideally, they should be heavily investing in R&D while the moat is still wide.

I manage a product design team. We've long moved away from from using Adobe products. It's not that we detest subscription model or Adobe as a company; their products were no longer meeting our needs.
When you turn 18, you should start your conservative-only trucking company that only trucks food between rural areas.
Whenever I'm excited by the prospect a new Google product, I remind myself that I am not Google's customer but their uncompensated QA team.

Google's customers are finance, government, retail, defense, healthcare, entertainment, manufacturing, etc. We are a small, disorganized slice of of that pie, and products like Stadia aren't meant to succeed as much as collect data for as long as they need to understand whether there's a market to make.

Anyway, if you're interested in creating your own Stadia, you can do so with things you've probably had at home for years: a device like a Raspi or smartphone with a utility like ReLive or SteamLink installed, a home computer to host the games, and a VPN to your home network.

I find that HN is really creaking under the weight of "I'm genuinely curious for you to look something up for me, I looked for werewolf shoes and I didn't find anything about this"

This form of walrusing pretends to be diligent interest in factual information, but it's actually sloth, attempt to control others, and a giant "I don't know how to use search engines skillfully" sign around the neck

They did something like this to me, 3 persons on the phone (all English speaking) later some manager finally caved after me repeatedly stating they were breaking Dutch law with 1 year renewals (after one year it’s always monthly if there is no new approval, it was my 3rd year).

I reported this to the relevant instances here, heard nothing from it.

> It can be a self-indulgence in which one engages at the expense family or friends.

It’s even worse if the perfectionism is applied to those around you directly. The thought process is something like “well I hold myself to a high (but maybe poorly defined and changing) standard, so why not hold those in my life to that same standard!?”

Of course it is impossible for anyone to live up to your nebulous and nonverbal “standard”, so you see your close relations primarily in terms of how they are deficient. And because what comes around goes around, you assume others are perceiving you in the same way.

You may actually find yourself surrounded by people with obvious issues like addiction and depression so it easy for you to perceive exactly how much more perfect you are than they are, and of course you remind them of this frequently through backhanded comments that let them know that they are almost good enough to be your equal. It takes a certain kind of person to regularly take that abuse, so your warped reality self-selects for friends that are obsequious puddles or anxious wrecks. Thus begins a feedback loop that reinforces everyones mental health issues, with you being the pump that brings water from the well.

It’s a bucket of fun for everyone!
Yeah, it's a privacy nightmare. The exchanges refuse our money if it has ever passed through a privacy service and they continue to track what we do with it even after it's been withdrawn from our accounts. Nice to have a collection of examples I can point to whenever someone says bitcoin is fungible.

It makes no sense to me how bitcoin is still number one cryptocurrency despite it's garbage fundamentals. Failed at everything it was supposed to do.
That's not how unsubscribe links are supposed to work.

Once the unsubscribe is activated -- and it's supposed to be very easy to activate -- then it's permanent. There's no "un-unsubscribe", "oops I clicked it again", "some other service glitched and clicked it for me".

Further, there's a distinction made between "commercial" and "transactional" messages in both law and etiquette. The unsubscribe link is expected in commercial messages, not transactional ones.

Abusix didn't know what they were talking about.
> Black markets are markets that break existing legislation, not markets that are free from legislation.

Your statement "black markets are not markets without legislation" logically implies such existence. I regard legislation as a governmental act and in my opinion you stretched its meaning to an informal agreement between market participants.

But, if you meant legislation as some kind of unwritten law, that breaks state laws, i would fully agree.
How about no.

I co-maintain a piece of software and I would love to have a Windows binary. We have few dependencies, all well behaved and we dont use any OS APIs. It's a Cmake projectand I'm sure if I would get it to compile on Windows it would work fine.

I gave it a shot twice, first by hand, second time through Github CI. I just don't get how any of this works on Windows.
Wow, thanks for leading me down that interesting rabbit hole. Being born in the US in the 80s I only knew of the Energizer Bunny. The Duracell bunny was actually first for a single campaign in 1973, then parodied by Energizer fifteen years later. They settled a trademark dispute after that with Energizer having exclusive rights to use a bunny in the US and Canada, with Duracell elsewhere.

I am still surprised how far ahead the N900 was. It is still my daily driver because there is simply no comparable alternative.
The wi-fi access point doesn't even need to be IPv6-aware, I'm pretty sure. Most can be set to a "bridge" mode that should work fine (note that I did not test this personally).

But even cheap wireless routers I bought 10 years ago support IPv6, and I doubt you really want to use that on a modern Wi-Fi network.
Seriously. Some people need to lay off the Fox and the right wing talk radio. They act like they’re being so oppressed because they have opinions people don’t agree with and they get called out for it. Like, how privileged has one’s life been and how much of a small bubble do they live in that they have never said something stupid and faced consequences for it. These are the same people that bitched about desegregation.
I built the nwavguy O2 kit from jdslabs and like it. It does perk up the Sennheisers and would probably work well for your headphones.

I don't hear a lot of difference between the Apple headphone adapter and jdslabs' "Objective DAC". The $10 Apple adapter might even be better than the ODAC, but it only works with my phone.

I haven't used Spotify in years; I think I never reinstalled it when my old laptop died in 2018. I could never get past the audio quality of their free tier, and never tried the paid tier. Maybe it's better now. Their recommendations back then for me were really odd; I can understand why some people would complain. I am about the only person that likes Amazon's streaming service but their recommendations are just bland-to-bad. I've noticed Pandora channels have become much more repetitive. Maybe the whole industry has been pushed by their metrics to some horrible least-common-denominator point.

There's an argument that discovery is an unsolved problem that doesn't pay. There was a discussion a while back on this here:

Interesting that the behavior Perry describes is now being called “maladaptive daydreaming”. It’s not in the DSM yet, but it probably should be. It’s highly comorbid with obsessive compulsive disorders, which is also associated with perfectionism.
I don't know honestly. I tried asking about exactly this on Community but they just wanted to gaslight me about it being a valid question and then deleted the thread to hide the evidence of that embarrassment. I did a Google Takeout and moved all my stuff to Proton and whatnot.
> I think it should really be called monetary debasement instead of inflation.

That suggests that you don't know what inflation is.

.

> I am genuinely curious. Please help me understand.

You say this too much. You can't understand from fly-by comments on the internet, which is why you're in the state that you're in.

If you're actually as genuinely curious as you pretend to be three times a day, go to the library and read a book.

All you're doing is chattering on the web. You will never understand anything this way.
While I am happy for you that you have found a solution, the solution you found is symptomatic of a very dangerous situation: it is increasingly impossible for individuals or SMEs to use essential online facilities like sending messages or transferring money reliably unless they use a broker service as an intermediary. We are allowing small numbers of tech firms to take control of vital functionality that should be using open, standardised protocols in a decentralised way. This leaves everyone who isn't big enough to run their own implementation that others can't afford to ignore beholden to those brokers and subject to arbitrary charges and/or denial of service.
The inability to generate IP reputation smaller than a /24 is inherent to the way internet routing works. Nothing smaller than a /24 can be publicly assigned or advertised to prevent the route table from becoming too bloated. On IPv6 the smallest advertise able block is a /48 for the same reason. Privately managed assignments in shared or further split subnets aren't publicly visible, verifiable, or accountable to anything but the organization owning and advertising the /24 (or larger).

As such the reputation score of a subnet is the reputation of the entity advertising itself as publicly controlling and maintaining that network, not the reputation of individual sub entities inside that subnet (which is known only to the controlling entity). If that entity is constantly allowing bad actors onto their block then that block is considered poor reputation.
What burgeoning bike cities? The sparse article only mentions cities that were already favorable toward bicycles with the possible exception of Austin.
I am not really convinced that it is “not uncommon”. Maybe MIT does but again, I have never had a colleague sign any. And I personally would not work for an institution that does.
Bravo. Not enough people are willing to step up to the plate when things go south with any company; the fact that people are willing to call bullshit when a feature stinks as bad as local scanning does gives me just a little bit of hope for the future of consumer technology.

> Apple's restrictions are anti-competitive for all iOS users, and have a negative effect on iOS users who have different preferences than you. You don't speak for all iOS users, and it is not your place to demand iOS users who want to obtain iOS apps from alternative app stores to go out of their way and switch ecosystems to satisfy your preferences, if a more convenient option is available for them to obtain what they want.

Ok. Now just reverse everything here. You don’t speak for iOS users. It’s not your place to demand changes that satisfy your preferences. Etc. And honestly you can just buy an Android phone with the features you want. Why is this so difficult for people?

> Allowing alternative app stores does not prevent Apple from setting arbitrary fees and restrictions (like Apple Pay and Apple sign-in) on apps published through Apple's App Store. You are still free to exclusively use Apple's App Store, regardless of where other iOS users choose to get their apps from if Apple's anti-competitive restrictions on iOS app installation were removed.

What your suggesting degrades the ecosystem (privacy, payments, etc.) and does not provide value to users. If anybody at all gave a damn it would be affecting sales. Literally nobody cares. Walk down the street in idk, Indianapolis and ask people if they care that they have one App Store on Apple. It’ll be crickets. It’s literally just figuring out whether Facebook or Netflix have better margins or if Apple does. That’s it. There’s no cost savings to customers. 90%+ of apps are junk, and these changes mean that Apple is no longer able to collectively bargain against developers on behalf of users. When you add another App Store what will happen is the big companies will create new app stores. These stores won’t have things like privacy protection. You might say “apple should compete on privacy protection” sure just like people who advocate for bike lanes should compete with car owners. The overall product of, say, Facebook being on another marketplace will cause users to switch. And now Facebook (again just picking on them here) gets to collect invasive data, skirt ethical privacy policies, and just do whatever they want. With Apple you get the best of both worlds. Facebook has to provide their product and they have to do it in a way that protects privacy.

Also it would be great if you and others would consider not using “anti-competitive” here because what Apple is doing isn’t anti-competitive. If you want to suggest that it is, then the term loses meaning. Kroger can’t sell Kroger brand products at Wal-Mart. I can’t sell custom game skins on the Epic store. Apple competes fiercely with an all-in experience against numerous competitors. That they’re crushing the competition is proving what the market actually wants.

> First of all, assault is not a "minor" crime.

Standard assault such getting punched is a minor crime. That is why people don't get jailed for it. It may not be enjoyable but it is a minor crime. Stating otherwise is simple a falsehood.

> So now, people who are not the police, have to "detain" this individual to keep them from hurting others.

This is some overly dramatic bullshit. Just because I punched Johnny because he was being a dick doesn't mean I'm punching anyone else. Simply people very rarely go on assault rampages. The fact you think they would shows out of touch you are.

> The plane has to divert to land so that the person can be handled by law enforcement. The 14 hour flight is now potentially 24-48 hours total, people have missed connecting flights, holidays, work meetings, etc.

Yes, and that why air rage is a much more serious crime than punching someone. We have courts and punishments for these things. Banning someone forever from being able to travel is absurd. Banning companies from providing services for someone because they found out their wife was sleeping with their best mate while in a plane is absurd.

The real world is significantly more "contrived" than anything Jepsen can come up with.

Transactions timing out, Nodes losing transactions even after they've been acknowledged etc.? None of this is contrived.
> antithetical to the principles of the open internet.

No. These blocklists are employed by the actor receiving the email. They have a perfect right, even on "the open internet", to decide that they want to limit who can send them messages.

There are tons of checks on the people who provide those blacklists, in the form of their users complaining about lack of mail delivery and ultimately not using their list anymore. We vote with our wallets, and as a group we have decided that these blocklists are useful.

> and for what?

To make email usable. Full stop.
Lately, my Teams has been popping up a purple bar that says, "other people may not be able to hear you". Yeah, duh - I wasn't talking!
It's a fair point - Especially when you consider that modern nationalism and political ideology is a religion unto itself.
Everything you've said makes perfect sense - for a contact management function.

We have that. You can change contact info, set owner/technical/emergency contacts, alert thresholds, etc.

But unsubscribe means something totally different:

When I click on unsubscribe I want it to be the end of all communications. Period.

In this case, that makes no sense. Ceasing communications for all purposes implies service cancellation and, in our case, service cancellation implies a human interaction confirming data destruction.

How would we confirm data destruction for your implied cancellation if no further contact is permitted ?

You, and the blacklist operators, have become so jaded by the abuse you've suffered that you've forgotten that legitimate, paid services exist. I'm sorry.
They absolutely do medicate people against their will all the time. Google "booty juice".
Really glad I didn’t buy any titles on the platform, which I presume will be non-transferable when this folds.

The glory days of cloud gaming, for me, were when i was a beta subscriber to GeForce Now and I could play all my Steam and Blizzard Games at high graphics. Slowly the picking got slimmer and slimmer, and then Nvidia started charging.

My dream is to pay $5 a month to play my existing games on a decent computer without having to buy one. Given the heavyweights who have tried and failed to provide this, I’m guessing that it’s not going to happen any time soon, or at all. The more likely future is platform-specific, siloed.
Docker, Postgres w/ proper indexes, Django. If I remember correctly Instagram just used postgres + django and may even still use it. If you can adhere to it, the 12-factor app rules may simplify the design choices in both the short and long term.
There’s a view that countries which have deep and mutually dependent trade relationships have too much to lose to go to war with one another. The success of the European Union in this respect appears to validate this view. I’m not saying it’s correct, it’s just that German dependence on Russian gas, and Russian dependence on German gas payments isn’t necessarily a bad outcome for two old foes.
Went through something similar recently. Start by teaching yourself how to sleep.

The root of your problems is something else though. I like science, so this helped me more than anything else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqtYZJSGeEY.

Everyone will suggest professional help, and you should seek it if you're comfortable, but the Internet has everything you need at this point. I'm sure your adventures have trained you in the Art of Googling.
True, but since this is about adding them to goverment no-fly list which would mean it was no longer the companies refusing service but the goverment punishing them kinda makes this moot.
> Further, there's a distinction made between "commercial" and "transactional" messages in both law and etiquette. The unsubscribe link is expected in commercial messages, not transactional ones.

Most of the junk that gets through my spam filter are transactional or other "mandatory" messages intended for someone who fat fingered their email address. If those senders don't want to be marked as spam, they need to provide a way for me to make the messages stop.
Fell for that trick once. Avoiding Adobe products since. Found Capture One instead of Lightroom, the Affinity Suite instead of Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator.

I am upgrading Capture One every year, so I probably pay the same as what I would pay for Lightroom.

But it just feels like a fair contract. And I love the product (probably because I know it well by now).
For my power to be cut off, I would have to…

1. Forget I had a monthly power bill for a couple of months.

2. Ignore the e-bill that gets sent to my bank bill payment service - ebills have been a thing for almost two decades. I worked on some of the early implementations.

3. Ignore the physical snail mail warnings for a couple of months.
The difference between you and the “cancel culture” is that you are a real person who exists, and “cancel culture” is an emergent phenomenon that happens on social media. People complaining about cancel culture is like people complaining about traffic jams. There’s no nefarious person in charge who’s trying to “cancel” things, it’s just lots and lots and lots of people and a tendency to overreact to stuff.
