There are a ton of 'workarounds' like that in play, parallel construction being one of the most extreme ones. It's interesting how these invariably work very well when it is the government in the position of the plaintiff but citizens will never ever see the benefit of any of this. Cameras everywhere, but good luck if your car gets stolen. Meanwhile all of your movements are tracked with abandon, ANPR on every second street and so on. Privacy is very hard to come by.

At the same time: I sympathize with LE and intelligence service operators that have their heart in the right place and that would just like to be able to do their jobs in a hostile and hard to navigate digital environment. Tech moves so much faster than they can keep up with.

I think this site is somewhere near the boundary, IMO. I don't recognize every commenter, but in most comment sections I'll see posts from someone I recognize. There's also a pretty consistent culture (or, more accurately, two cultures, devs and tech entrepreneurs), though, compared to say a Reddit comment section. It's definitely not an intimate social space like my private Discord servers are, either, though.
I think the gear was greyed out until I added my first site, but it's working now. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll give it a try!
You are aware that users are not privileged by default in Linux? While historically in Windows...at least until UAC and Windows 2008...

Not sure what the example proves. The simple fact you can compile your kernel, have a strong model with Linux SE, it's just another ballpark.

Besides the fundamental aspect that Microsoft are telemetry kleptomaniacs, one OS assumes the user machine does not belong to the user, and Microsoft knows better.
Linux assumes it's your machine and nobody else.

You can have your own hardened and lighter Linux kernel, with less surface exposure, while with Windows you start with whatever version version of Cortana Microsoft would like to push that week on it's users...Plus all the other unnecessary components that create an almost infinite opportunity of attack vectors.

Naturally for Linux, the open source code, makes for a more transparent process, even if I don't subscribe to the idea that more eyes on the code, correlates directly to higher safety.
> I have read pretty credible studies that contradict you.

Studies cannot show if something was the right course of action. This isn't something that can be accounted for by some peer-reviewed research paper.

The fact of the matter is, the response to covid was a massive disaster that did far more harm than good. And that is an absolute fact and one that will take a long time for people to swallow. It's hard to realize you literally wasted several years of your life for absolutely nothing at all.
each eye is not getting "4k resolution" they are claimed to be each capable of rendering a 4k screen in natural resolution.

If I hover over the link like my phishing training says to do, Chrome correctly shows it as "https://v1271.zip"

If I don't bother hovering over the link then the domain never mattered at all. Could have hosted the file anywhere since the link text in HTML (including HTML email) need not have any relation to the destination. You can simply write a legitimate github.com link but the href goes somewhere else.

Any situation where you're relying on users to visually inspect every link and decide if the domain looks plausible is already a security failure.

If I'm downloading and executing files that are randomly in a Medium article or in my inbox from an untrusted source then we're in trouble whether they are hosted on github or not.

In Europe it doesn't work like that. There you give consent to collect for a specific purpose and for any other purpose you need to go back to the source for another round of consent. This is something that many companies haven't implemented properly yet (but a surprisingly large number actually do).

Yeah I did look at the docs, hence my question. If you have a deeply nested comment tree, wouldn't you have to load each level sequentially?

So let's say you have
A (root) -> B -> C -> D

Wouldn't you make one request to fetch A (root comments). Then a second request to fetch B (replies of A), another request to fetch C (replies of B) and then finally another request to fetch D (replies of C)?

And you can't fetch B,C,D in parallel, because you don't know the id's ahead of time to request the child comments.

Just something to think about, obviously doesn't matter until you have deeply nested discussions. But if you look at Reddit (or even HN) that is probably the most common case.
It doesn't make sense because you need to read carefully. I said "loading your own extensions", ie loading extensions not from their store but by dropping a .xpi in /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions that you made running `zip` and changing the filename.

Microsoft had VBScript installed on >90% of all browsers at one time. Google almost installed Dart by default in Chrome and then walked it back. Java was installed on all browsers for a decade, but no one wanted it. WebAssembly allows for languages like Rust to be used, but its adoption is still very niche.

JavaScript lives on. It's not just inertia. IE for example supported multiple languages at the same time. As a lingua franca, JS is simply better than the alternatives.

Python is subjectively cleaner than JS, but it isn't sufficiently better to warrant replacing JS, especially after JS started becoming more Pythonic. Lua is arguably a step backwards. Go adds a necessary compile step. Folks already gave Java a shot. C/C++ was a hard-learned lesson after ActiveX regarding web security. Perl ain't gonna be it obviously. Rust has a much too steep learning curve for the vast majority of web developers to tolerate. Ruby is slower and also not sufficiently better.

I know folks don't like to hear it, but JavaScript is nowhere near as bad as folks like to go on about it. In fact it's so flexible, an entire ecosystem rose up around it on the server side more than a decade after its client-side debut. If JS were really that bad, no one would adopt it for other areas if they didn't have to. It is familiar and gets the job done. We only highlight its shortcomings because we've had almost 30 years to pick it apart and dissect it.

Google could team up with Apple and make Swift a supported language. Within 2 years, it would be on >90%+ of all devices. Maybe 95%. And it wouldn't matter. Sure, a bunch of folks would use it, especially if they were Apple devs. But the vast majority would ask, "What would this new language give me that JS can't do? Is it actually worth rewriting apps and retraining my staff?" Honestly, the answer is 'no'.

Because JS really isn't bad. It has warts (though many/most of them due to the DOM rather than the language). It has legacy. But after 30 years, it's still doing surprisingly well at both speed, flexibility, and the ability to evolve.

Are you TAJ? The only people who refer to me as B0risGrishenko (my old Reddit account for a few months) are either TAJ or the crazy people on r/privatelife who have no idea what they are talking about.

Quite frankly, anyone looking at that subreddit will know that it's just a bunch of incompetent and incoherent rambling from a few guys with quite literally no technical understanding. They been doing this for years now, spreading terrible privacy and security advice and spearing developers with these cheap shots when they cannot argue on the technical front.

They don't practice what they preach, whereas South-Africa preaches and practices the same thing.

If you know elixir, but don't know python, it seems like a no-brainer to choose language you know over language you don't. Plus the portability and dependency management of Python has traditionally been a nightmare. Elixir has great solutions to both of those problems for scripting contexts.

Another case, if your code base is in Elixir, picking an unrelated different language (python) would (IMHO) be as silly a decision as picking elixir for scripts when you have a python app, and I would strongly question that person's judgment and fitness for making sustainable and maintainable technical decisions.
>make you click on ads accidentally

This has been a very frustrating experience with new YouTube which now hides comments in the vertical layout. I used to pay for Premium, so it’s some random recommended video that I constantly accidentally click, it’s very frustrating, esp when it doesn’t save my location in an hours long video. It only clicked for me that it’s actually for adverts when I saw someone else’s app.

Now, instead of paying Google $10 a month for a better experience, as I was happy to do, I’ve just spent a few bucks on Vinegar and donate the $10/mo to a couple of creators I like on Patreon. I’ve been successfully converted from an extremely happy paying customer to an annoyed leech.

With Apple's marketing power, I really would expect them to claim a higher resolution number if it was that high. After all, why not? If it's actually 5K they would shout it from the rooftops. All they've said is "more pixels than a 4K screen", also we know this type of lens distortion causes some waste.

We also know 23 million pixels for the whole system. So, 11.5 million for one display. a 4K display is 8.2 million. So it's not a whole lot more than 4K, and lower than their own 5K display (which has 14 million), which matches what they claim ("more than a 4K display"). That's not enough to cover the full field of human vision and still have pixels so small they can't be seen.

With corner waste it's just barely enough for one 4K display this way (and stretched to the full limits of vision it will be pretty unwatchable so close). You can't display two as you mention, because AR/VR projection works by using the 2 screens to display the same content just from a slightly different position (parallax) causing the 3D effect. The more overlap between the eyes the better and more comfortable the 3D effect (some headsets try to get an ultrawide FoV this way but shoot themselves in the foot with low overlap).

If it has a really wide FoV its sharpness will be pretty much on-par with a quest 3/Pico 4, if it's got the same FoV it will be a lot sharper. I expect the truth to be somewhere in between. Wider than a Quest and also sharper, but pixels visible if you look well and not quite full human FoV.

What I expect Apple will have done is sacrifice a bit of vertical FoV for horizontal FoV. Vertical FoV is important in VR (especially 'roomscale') because of orientation issues, and not quite as important in AR. Also most of their marketing material promotes a seated position so moving around is not an issue. Most VR headsets have an almost-square resolution per eye, but I expect this one to be closer to 16:10 (maybe not quite that wide). I think it will come out at around 4300x2600 pixels per eye which is slightly over 11 million pixels.

Still very impressive (which it must be at that price point obviously!). But real-world and not magic. Makes sense because Apple's engineers, as good as they are, are bound by the same laws of physics we all are. Their marketeers would love us to believe otherwise though.

It's really time for some real-world specs on this thing instead of marketing blah. But I think Apple specifically doesn't want this, it's no wonder they let only the most loyal media outlets (like Gruber) get as much as a short hands-on with this thing. And even those experience are white-gloved in detail (they even prepared custom adaptive lenses). They just want to keep the marketing buzz on as long as possible.

> We're never moving post scarcity.

We already are with digital goods, society just hasn't caught up yet. I can make essentially infinite many copies of, say, Braid, and give every person in the world with an Internet connection a copy of it for a couple thousand dollars by using Cloudflare unlimited bandwidth R2 and bittorrent. A couple thousand dollars is basically a rounding error in the scheme of things. As I am not Jonathan Blow, distributing Braid would be a violation of copyright law, but copyright law is just a social contract that we entered into to incentivize the creation of work. If Jonathan Blow were compensated for every copy of Braid out there, I'm sure he would be quite happy to be (even more) rich.

So even in a post-digital-scarcity world, artists and programmers need to get paid, and so we have various DRM schemes, the first of which is the copyright system in the first place, but that works about as well as trying to make water not wet. Movies are leaked onto torrent sites like Rarbg (RIP) and people make copies all day long. libgen mirrors are still around despite the best efforts of the copyright regime. But let's be honest with ourselves, digital goods themselves are already post scarcity, we just haven't figured out how to incentivize the creation of works in our half-post-scarcity world and have no idea on how to move forwards.

Alternate solutions are out there, but we have no experience as a society in upending large social contracts (like copyright). You can easily imagine a system where what's popular gets tracked, and money flow to the creators of the media that people are actually watching and consuming. It would be a more draconian system than the DRM we have right now, but on the other hand, if it promotes the arts, then maybe it's worth it.
Are those products or just individual features wrapped within a domain name?
In the beginning of a project I want velocity and progress. CF gives me:

Easy SSL. Register domain at cost. Throw up static site on S3 equivalent (or app on whichever cloud), add Cloudflare and a couple redirects (no www to www, no ssl to ssl), done. It’s like gmail for simple web hosting. It’s also like early Google, friendly and useful and not trying to squeeze every dollar for shareholders and bonuses.

They lend us their very competent team at free or minimal cost. I totally get the single point of failure and monopoly but compared to AWS, Azure and Google complexity it’s a simple web app dream until I have time to care about certs etc.

Competitors need to build an easy alternative and get as good as the CF team. Which is way better than me at futzing with config I only touch once every couple years.
Thank you for checking it out. I will make sure firefox is supported, I don’t see why it won’t work out of the box, but I’ll investigate and roll out a fix asap!
> it's starting to become hard to really qualify what I really get for being american

I’m preparing to renounce my American citizenship (lived most of my life elsewhere, no remaining ties to the USA), and I am amused by the frequent exhortation on internet fora against renunciation "If you have a US passport, you can rely on the US government to get you out of trouble". People really seem to think that Seal Team Six is on standby to save any ordinary American facing violence or natural disaster abroad. Me, I remember the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami when many European countries swiftly evacuated their citizens or citizens of fellow EU states, while US citizens were mainly left to fend for themselves.

I realize yes. And do you realize if you'll be using keyboard and mouse you may as well not literally wear a computer *on your head*? Are you aware of displays? They can support themselves. On desks.

If a European visits your website you do have a business-customer relationship though, of sorts.

Very cool to see the coverage of this Reddit blackout on the news.
Maintaining a firefox fork is a much bigger job than putting `--with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app --allow-addon-sideload` in the package build script.

Distros already share effort implicitly because maintainers of distro X often look at what distro Y is doing for that package. Also users compare distros frequently and will tell the maintainer of distro X that the same thing works with distro Y.
Do you have any examples?

For example during COVID, Reddit was extremely toxic and hostile to any questioning of COVID lockdown policies. You couldn't even talk about travel in travel forums without being shamed as some kind of murderer and downvote censored to oblivion, let alone questioning the justification of lockdowns, border restrictions, and vaccine mandates.

Reddit has had an extreme woke left bias for a long time such as in its main subs like /r/politics. Of course this extremity on one side breeds counter extremes on the other like /r/TheDonald. The hivemind nature of the site ultimately makes everyone more divided and worse off.

> hope it's a better [model] than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years.

It may be a better model for something, but it's impossible for this to be used on a "reddit-like" site.

Reddit is a large community where many users are anonymous. A paid model means it will never be a large community and posters will never be anonymous.

And while reddit has tried to make freemium work, I'm pretty sure it has never worked and their real business model is ad based. Advertisements are a centuries old model that has proven to work well, I encourage you to switch to that (and on your API, make it a requirement to show ads).

Also don't allow people to remove the ads by paying - you need to show ads to people with enough money to buy the stuff you're advertising. Exclusively showings ads to poor people does not work. Just make sure your ads aren't annoying.

It's your site, you can do what you want with it, but it won't be like reddit with your proposed business model.
The government has the monopoly to violence, Google does not. The cops can arrest you, Netflix can't.

That's why information in government hands can be more dangerous than in corporate. A good example is when Nazis occupied Holland they used governmental data on religion (collected to properly allocate funds for places of worship) to track jews and send them to the camps.

So data in corporate hands is bad, but governmental data can be even worse.
