Have you and the other active mods considered adding a civility rule in the sidebar?
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 1 month ago:
Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought you could only upvote / downvote posts. Comments were just a thread, and whoever commented first was at the top.
Hence why a lot of our early shitposting was just commenting “first” as soon as an interesting post when live.

You don’t have to fund severance if people leave on their own.
- Comment on Google is automating temperature checks for Pixel Pro users 1 month ago:
The pixel’s temp sensor reminds me of the iPhone’s rear facing LiDAR Scanner. It’s cool, but most of us probably won’t use it in its current form.

Disable biometrics and mention your password.
Android: look up “lockdown mode”
iOS: hold volume down + power, or press power 5 times fast.

Reminder: If you are in a situation where you’re presenting a digital ID to a digital ID reader, do not unlock your phone first. Tap your locked phone on the ID reader, then authenticate the document share.

They did option 1. The big app stores require that disclosure these days.
Problem is, people were surprised that a stupid wallpaper app from a know person / brand had ads and ad tracking like scam mobile game.

- Comment on Jony Ive confirms he’s working with Sam Altman on a secret project 1 month ago:
I’m mostly referring to how the case functioned. The door, the legs that tripled as handles and rack mount holes. The G3 / G4 cases were easy to access, upgrade, move, and store.

Product design Anakin used to make some dope shit before he turned to the dark side.

- Comment on Apple's mobile chips are now made in the U.S. — TSMC produces the older A16 Bionic at its Arizona fab 2 months ago:
That was Foxcon, not TSMC. And all of us have a LOT of shit in our homes made by Foxcon.

Less risk of tariffs on China, less risk of supply chain disruptions like with the pandemic, takes advantage of incentives from the US government, and is something that is cool to advertise.
- Comment on Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
270 active users isn’t much for a masto instance.
Given that Mozilla is a small company, and small company’s really can’t afford to lose focus for the major roadmap initiatives, I’m going to bet that this was someone’s hackathon project.

- Comment on Novel technique allows malicious apps to escape iOS and Android guardrails 2 months ago:
I guess I’m saying that I didn’t think the headline was too bad. There is a new PWA install flow that’s widely available on Android now, and phishing via that new PWA install UX is potentially a new hot area. I’m not particularly offended by calling that novel. Just my 2¢
- Comment on Novel technique allows malicious apps to escape iOS and Android guardrails 2 months ago:
Mobile dev here.
I’ll play devil’s advocate. Android streamlined the PWA install experience a few years ago. You no longer need to drill into a menu and select an add to Home Screen option.
On one hand, have more users using a better mobile experience, but on the other hand, I now have a lot of users that think they installed the native app.
I don’t think the end user should need to care about my tech stack, but I could see how a malicious actor could dupe people with this newer streamlined PWA install flow. These malicious actors probably caught a lot less people with the old menu > add to Home Screen flow.
- Comment on Novel technique allows malicious apps to escape iOS and Android guardrails 2 months ago:
I would argue that the new piece is that phishers are taking advantage Android’s ability to throw an install button in the browser.
Enough phones support that now, and they’re able to catch more people in their nets now that folks aren’t installing web apps from a nested menu item.
- Comment on Novel technique allows malicious apps to escape iOS and Android guardrails 2 months ago:
IMHO, getting people to install a sketchy PWA is going to be more successful with newer versions of Android that allow a PWA to throw an “install” button in the browser.
When I look at my mobile end users, the people who install PWAs are overwhelmingly on newer versions of Android, not older versions, or iOS. Opening the share menu and adding a bookmark to the Home Screen seems simple, but it provides an amount of friction that scares off a lot of end users.
