After testing mosparo for over a year, first in private beta, then since January in public beta, we’re happy to announce that we’re ending the public beta phase and officially releasing version 1.0, the first official stable release of mosparo.

We got great feedback over the last months about the project and the software, so that we could develop mosparo in a very good direction. With version 1.0, we’ve added another round of new features, for example, the invisible mode. You can find an overview of all features and changes in version 1.0 in this post. Additionally, we prepared a video with the most significant changes. You can watch it on YouTube or Vimeo.

We additionally produced a video to explain the general functionality of mosparo. You can watch the video on YouTube or Vimeo.

We’re thankful for all the support, feedback, ideas, and kind words we got to hear from our contributors and fans over the last months.

We’re looking forward to reading your issue, question, or idea on GitHub or your Product Hunt review. You can also contact us by emailing feedback@mosparo.io or on all the possible social media platforms (see footer of the website).

All the HN MS/Google bashing when it's not clear in the article what caused the popup. Who knows what the person's got running in their systray, what gaming apps are all tied into the browser engine and triggering the popups etc.... It's not as clear cut as "MS is throwing crap at you".

I've got multiple installs of Windows 11 going, which I only did minimal pref settings to eliminate default search toolbars, and not using Edge or anything.... Chrome default. Never any popups.
IIRC, it’s broke because only a small handful of properties account for a disproportionate amount of the claims.
Do we have the EU to thank for this genuinely good change.
IIRC, on technical side Android have "intents". An app says to the system : "users wants to navigate to a place" and other apps can say "hey, i have a feature to navigate to a place".

Apple don't provide such system and so you are blocked by what the source app wants to open. On Apple apps, it will open other apple apps, and on tier apps, it's up to what they want to open. Of course Apple have zero incentive to change this so I don't see it changing.
As someone who uses Pinterest for its intended purpose, like home decor inspiration, fashion ideas, etc.. It’s actually very nice!
It’s structured like a moodboard, a format that fits me nicely whenever I‘m looking for ideas…
However! Even though I enjoy and use Pinterest, it’s never what I want to see in Google Images. If I need to find the artist of a drawing for example, Pinterest is often spammed to me in the results, often with a link leading to absolutely nowhere. Usually the Pin is locked behind a login, which is annoying since I only use the app on my phone.
There’s tons of reasons to dislike Pinterest on Google, it’s not just a dichotomy between nerds and women (not to mention that these groups have overlap anyway, of course).
The intent of the GPL-- and Linux's interpretation thereof-- is that you can't just circumvent it by putting a thin API in for what you need and then shipping a huge closed source and/or restricted blob that integrates deeply with the GPL thing.

> “We are aware of these reports and have paused this notification while we investigate and take appropriate action to address this unintended behavior,” says Caitlin Roulston, director of communications, in a statement to The Verge.

I wonder what the intended behavior was.
Assuming the structure of the current economic system follows some kind of inevitable (natural?) law is part of why you are unable to reason beyond the logic of the markets we contend with today.

Markets have taken many different forms, have been entrusted with different sets of responsibilities to different degrees, over the course of economic history.

Perhaps it makes more sense now to develop a fiscal institution to run insurance than to continue to rely on a market-based solution.
Source? That sounds straight from a Facebook group
There's code that resembles error correcting code that is used in browsers inside physics calculations. We're nearly able ourselves to create a full universal computer simulation. There's arbitrary speed limits or other 'settings'like a clicker game might have. Speed of light, planks constant, etc... The fact we haven't seen any life could mean we're the only life simulated. The entire universe needn't even exist just our perception that it does, we see it, we can observe but maybe we're just observing facts fed to us if things that should be there in a universe of infinite size. Perhaps the speed limits are set because of size limits of existing hardware. it's easier to believe than there being a god, or the universe could be conscience and we're simulated like a dream is simulated in our subconscious.

Highly unlikely. For starters, it's not paid-to-enter.
Thousands? The OS is specifically tied to the hardware. You buy the hardware and the OS is free of charge. They don’t sell separate licenses.
Okay, it's not like a horse or an astroglobe or a steam engine, but c'mon, it's definitely like a computer.
The manipulators mostly reach for low-effort high-exposure interventions. They wouldn't actually engage in honest debate.
I think in 2 or 3 years you will most like see a Huawei's M1 like reveal. Where they will reveal a Kirin based Matebook pro running HarmonyOS Next desktop variant.

Yeah Apple will have a fierce competition in China and the BRICS/SCO countries.
I hope China can soon start internationalise some of their social media so there are more options then only western options. It will hopefully unleash some much needed competition in IT services.
Meh, doesn't surprise me. Google Fi was a shady, clunky, horrible service when I had them with the most abrasive and hostile support staff.
You pay for talent. A business at this level is an entity that provides value to a lot of customers, and creates an ecosystem of velocity of cash flowing through employees families, vendors, suppliers, investors, etc.

Cutting officer salaries would accomplish little, except accelerating talent loss.

Man those SaaS products are so expensive, cut those programmers salaries - might be a corollary.
> Leaving a negative review of the product because it doesn't work where you want it to work is absolutely not "toxic fanboy" behavior

You can also call it free market research. Here's someone who wants to play your game enough to go through this extra effort.
It was called 'Unite', some of the details: QnX clone for x86/32 which at the time wasn't available (nor would Quantum commit to releasing something like that). Pre-emptive multi-tasking, multi-user micro kernel based on the QnX API calls. It worked quite well, we built a bunch of devices that used it internally as the firmware (mostly: internet bandwidth management in the context of a hosting facility). Some HN'er has been trying to revive it in a virtual environment.
There's quite a lot of questionable telemetry in the driver, I am not sure how it would work if exposed to GDPR scrutiny like that.
From what I understand, initial messages don't come from the slaves; instead, you get connected to one if you reply. So the english skills might shift drastically between the first and second message.
Midland is a pretty interesting concept. I could see why the kids seem to value it so much. I often think about how I don’t think I would have survived today’s social media environment were of around when I was a kid.
I think mostly people condemn the eu for its attempt at censorship.

The eu would actually have to have a big tech company consumers actually interface with in order to fine them -besides just hardware.

The meaning of "Russian soul" is secretly adoring and mimicking the West (for centuries), while overtly threatening to burn it to the ground. The wives and progeny of some of the most ardent haters live in Europe and give birth in the United States for American citizenship.

I guess that's one of the advantages of serverless - by definition there can be no unrelated error in the state beyond the request (because there is none), except for the infrastructure definition itself. But a misconfig there you'll always see in form of an error happening at calling the particular resource - at least I haven't seen anything else yet.
Not to mention that MS already went out of their way and spent considerable technical effort to not have the system apps respect the default browser setting - such as introducing a separate URL scheme for "edge-only" links, then later patching the scheme registry so that no other app could register itself as a handler for that scheme.

It was never a technical issue, on the contrary.
one solution is to exclude hail damage to roofs from basic home insurance policy. Similar to how earthquake and flooding is a separate policy.
>anyone who has desired a frozen dairy products from McDonald's

That's a sentence I wasn't expecting to read, ever. There are only two types of people that I have ever met that would fall into that category: kids, who don't know any better about what food stuff they eat, and addicts.
Maybe you've heard about it, but then forgot.

From your statement, I'm not sure which position you believe is the bold assumption. The null hypothesis in my view is The Universe is not whatever latest technology we humans have created like a simulation or a quantum computer or clock or steam locomotive. The extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence for me would be Yes, the Universe is one of those.

If you agree, then we agree.
Mass protests work. But they take time and persistence. It's not the spectacle of the actual mass protest itself, its what they do to create connections and unity between people who previously felt isolated from each other. The most important thing coming out of a protest is not the pictures for the news media, but the "come to this next event" fliers handed out, or mailing lists put together, to continue to build momentum.

Protest was most likely a huge factor in keeping Canada (and probably other potential "allies") out of the war, no matter what Chretien says in retrospect. The federal Liberals in power at the time were on the fence, but the mass protests that week (and leading up to it) were the largest in history and the government clearly saw it would cost them. (But then they turned around and provided backchannel support, and were still involved in Afghanistan, etc. so...)

I suspect getting involved there was also a big factor in the implosion of the UK Labour Party since then...

I marched in the protests that week in Toronto. They were the largest mass street protests -- and probably the most emotional -- I've ever been in. It got pretty heated outside the US embassy, too.

Seems to me the problem in the US with the Iraq war is that Americans are on the whole brought up to be extremely pro-military, "support our troops" at all cost. Lots of ra-ra patriotism stuff that is about the only thing in US society that is not partisan.

Many of the "liberals" I know there still give me shitty excuses why they initially supported what was clearly, to anybody who was thinking a terrible imperialist war. Anybody with half a brain knew it wasn't about "weapons of mass destruction", and people still using that "they lied to us" excuse are being intellectually dishonest. They supported because of nationalism.

And you know what, instead of Russians using this historical example as a "What About?" moment to point fingers at the US -- which accomplishes nothing -- they should be absorbing the actual lesson about the awful things that imperialist nationalism makes people and nations do... and get a spine.

I expected Americans to get a spine then and stop the war, and I expect Russians to do so now. Disappointed both times, so far.
I've done a quick test and it runs very smoothly on my original OnePlus One from 2014 (so 11 years after the game). This is on latest Chrome, Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1).

I still find it amazing that this game never made with this in mind, the web tech at the time on the OnePlus One was nowhere near able to run this in browser and it works perfectly today!

False equivalence: books are static once printed. Computers use energy to perform calculations. They are not at all static, and fully capable of creating emergent behavior, where a book is not.

A book can create emergent behavior in a mind that reads it (or a computer that processes it). But without those, it does nothing.

A computer doesn't need to be observed to run. You can press a button, walk away for a few minutes, and come back to find an entirely novel image generated by Stable Diffusion, for example.

Sure, all computers currently require an external person to push the button, perform maintenance, provide electricity, and so on. But that doesn't mean that all computers will always need this.

Meanwhile, all books will always just be static words, because that's what books are.
Google did all of the above?

Hobbled Firefox on YouTube via ShadowDOM and polyfill? Hobbled internet explorer on windows mobile for both YouTube and google maps.

Google on iOS and android does the same shitty nonsense as Microsoft here.
Fortunately politicians are never influenced by money or ideology and 100% represent the choices of the voters.
“Open mindedness” does not mean to “treat all ideas as being on equal grounds”

All it means is to listen. After you listen, if you judge that it’s clearly just some quack trying to Mark Seargant some people (this is clearly what’s happening), then that doesn’t make you “not open minded”.
I paid for a product and I expect that product to at least not intentionally restrict use on proton. If you intentionally restrict its use on whatever platform i see fit then you are getting a negative review. The wine folks and valve have put serious effort into patching your product to work on linux, but when you actively undermine their effort and intentionally limit its use - either by banning players on linux or hacking your game to not work - then that's not nice.

There is no fanboying in wanting to use a product whichever way I see fit. It's mine.
They publish monthly reports about their progress on all development related to SQ42 though..
It also shows total ignorance of what we've learned about computing, namely that P vs NP and various Big O challenges mean it is not feasible to simulate some physical space without either cutting corners and not doing a complete simulation or using a computer in some sense "larger" (or slower) than the physical space.
More than half that distance, but maybe not in that direction? I don't know, that's just what Wikipedia said. Alpha Centauri A and B are each roughly the mass of our sun, so together they should have more pull. Yes, this stuff is continuous (but gets very sparse), and there must be some region where it's temporarily balanced between the stars. It's all quite variable as stars move relative to each other, and the stuff can be taken for a ride on a new star.
>I think the problem you're touching on here is that in recent years the bottom line of businesses don't correlate well with the income if its workers.

Yes, I was attacking your argument that eased regulation would profit the workers - in our current climate, it doesn't. So regulating phone chargers makes a difference to the plutocracy only, not the workers. And you should not forget that a phone that comes without a charger can be cheaper by the BOM of the charger.
Ironically, there are so many pointers at this point that OSes often now do use a single address space for every program (with escape hatches in case you need aliasing).

Virtual memory and vtables are now more about access control than about managing the scarcity of pointers.

If you did it right, you went straight down, and the swing lost all of its momentum and sort of just dangled loosely afterwards.

Ignorant but curious questions

Do insurance policies get packaged and sold as financial products, or are they re-insured on the backend but continue to be held by the originator?

Related, at what point of policy origination/reinsurance are standards audited and applied? I.e. if I originate a mispriced policy, where does that get noticed/rejected?
FOE wrote a report on this in the early-2010s. For quite a while energy use was dropping in California, PG&E was a leader in improving energy efficiency and replacing "negawatts" with "megawatts", which was a highly successful policy... for a while. Thus FOE thought electricity use would continue to decline in California but... it didn't. And it won't.

Many people today think we are not moving fast enough, but climate change is on the radar now, we are seeing "net zero" commitments from governments, corporations and NGOs. 10 years ago there was a lot more talk about decarbonizing "easy to decarbonize" sectors and not about making sharp cuts in all emission sources.

There are electric cars and a movement to stop using natural gas for heat and cooking. Thanks to climate change we need more air conditioning. For that matter, climate change is putting pressure on water supplies so there is more interest in desalination, which today is done by pushing water across membranes with high pressure, which takes electricity. Industrial carbon emissions are under attack with hydrogen, gas turbines run backwards, electrolysis and other methods... That need clean energy.

Thus. California's demand for clean energy appears bottomless in the next few decades.

> it is not super attractive to start subsidizing people who choose to live in increasingly disastrous zones

At the risk of taking this down a political path, I'll take this a step further. States like FL who fall into this bucket are further aggravating as they are also the ones that espouse personal responsibility & small government.

I'm not personally against subsidizing these things. But I am against people screaming until they're blue in the face that they hate socialism and then cry foul when their insurance rates are too expensive for them to afford.
I am glad that I am not the only one who hates Pinterest, lol
If enough insurance companies decide to stop doing business in Florida, Florida is welcome to create a state-run insurance company to serve its residents.

That's literally the apparatus of the state (in both senses of the word) used to the benefit of the residents. That may just have the effect of moving the problem from "my insurance premiums are too high" to "my taxes are too high", because at the end of the day, someone has to be paid to fade the risks inherent in insuring the property against perils.
I'll bet on Star Citizen 3.0

I bought mine at a local phone repair shop, but Amazon is rife with them. Here's a random result which I'm sure you can improve upon. They generally come with a little lanyard of nylon or silicone to permanently tie to your USB cable.

Yeah I don't understand the love for WSL. Within the first couple weeks of using it, I've run into

* Time doesn't stay in sync after sleeping, which breaks package updating.

* It doesn't get the DNS servers it should from DHCP, so you have to go manually edit /etc/resolv.conf

* The filesystem is super slow, and git commands take multiple seconds.

All stuff that can be worked around, but I don't have to deal with this crap when just running Linux, and all Windows gets me is a clunky UI and ads. It's mystifying to me that everyone is somehow capable of managing fleets of Linux servers just fine, but for some reason managing developer Linux workstations is impossible, so we end up with these Rube Goldberg machines.
Still doesn't really make sense, as the original algorithm is not 100x faster. The replacement is.
Are royal families mafias themselves? If so, Communism rose by deposing one mafia, which of course morphed into a different but similar mafia?

Sort of the history of Europe in many instances?
It's more that those states are becoming the most expensive to maintain intact houses in, with the increased insurance a side effect of that. I know someone in TX that has needed a new roof like 6-7 times in 10 years because of hail damage - the insurance company has been bleeding money on their house for a decade, but that's because the house has actually been sustaining significant damage every single year. The only answers to that over any length of time must be: 1) improve roofing so that they're not sustaining damage so frequently (even if it increases costs), 2) decrease the value of housing so much that replacing the roof out-of-pocket every year just becomes 'cost of doing business', or 3) stop living there because it's just intrinsically expensive. "Pay $1k yearly insurance and average $10k yearly damage" for a whole region is not going to last much longer.

> How do you explain why more recent movies are more expensive to buy or rent on streaming services, then?

Artificial price inflation and recouping costs combined. Fueled by FOMO, people tend to pay more to be able to access it and be up-to-date (TM) in their social circles.

They'll probably recoup the costs without inflated prices, but if they can exploit that title for more money, they'll do it.
For every bad thing that's been done using WhatsApp I could name 10 great things done using the platform. No one is going to use your shitty alternative app dude.

Also it's spelled Myanmar. You can't even spell the name right of the country that you're all upset about. Were you personally affected by what happened there? I bet you just like to cherry-pick tragedies and use them to virtue signal your depressed world view on Hacker News.
I don't know anything about how their market share varies regionally, but Florida and California (states in which they are taking steps towards no longer operating) are a combined 60 million people, which is 18% of the US population; they may just be scaling down all of their operations to match the reduction in population served.
