- Comment on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says 2 weeks ago:
Specifically only ios users are locked down in the Walled Garden. Android users can switch manufacturers at will since they all have Google play - except to Apple of course.
Most apps nowadays are subscription based anyway.
- Comment on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says 2 weeks ago:
Developers already pay a subscription fee.
Apple is just being greedy and tries to disincentivise developers from using third party stores. They are not incurring any cost associated with those downloads.
- Comment on Your body is completely dark except for the 1 molecule outside layer that light hits. 2 weeks ago:
1 molecule thick skin would be pretty see through. You need more than that to block out the light.
- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 3 weeks ago:
“I’m out of soap”
Well duh, you wouldn’t even fit inside one.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Legally this is similar to euthanasia or abortion. The priority is to keep the person alive at all costs even if it means lifetime of suffering.
Morally… I mean the person did it to himself, i bet he’s already suffering. While being ablaze he is a danger to others as pointed out in this thread, and a literal fire hazard. Their suffering (that they caused themselves) takes second priority after safety to others.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 5 weeks ago:
That’s why I started testing Fedora Linux a few weeks ago
- Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off 2 months ago:
It just means you are around more iphone folks than android. If roles were reversed, android users could share photos using nearby share, or even nfc which is at least a decade old by now, and neither is compatible with ios.
- Comment on Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries -- smart security systems vulnerable as tech becomes cheaper and easier to acquire 2 months ago:
I have a wifi camera. It saves locally to sd card. When it’s jammed, it won’t be accessible, but it’ll still record motion, so recording will be accessible as long as camera itself isn’t stolen.
- Comment on Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries -- smart security systems vulnerable as tech becomes cheaper and easier to acquire 2 months ago:
Power line Ethernet is actually more similar to wifi than Ethernet the way it works, it uses your power cables as an antenna. Probably won’t be jammed as easily though, you may need to plug the jammer into an outlet.
- Comment on What's stopping you from coding like this ? 3 months ago:
I like to see the screen whole coding
- Comment on Zuckerberg to Get $700 Million a Year From Meta’s New Dividend 3 months ago:
Compared to Microsoft, which is 75c per share, and stock is cheaper.
- Comment on Ditching PaaS: Why I Went Back to Self-Hosting 3 months ago:
Isn’t VPS PaaS?
- Comment on Sometimes things do go your way 3 months ago:
And the library update isn’t published for 6 months
- Comment on NYPD faces backlash as it prepares to encrypt radio communications | New York | The Guardian 4 months ago:
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear (or something like that)
- Comment on puzzling 4 months ago:
The thing is if you start with a frame it takes up more space, and it’s more difficult to move finished portions unside. Without the constraints of the frame you are free to position your portions where you want before merging.
- Comment on puzzling 4 months ago:
How else do you start puzzle? I prefer to start at multiple points in the middle and then connect them.
- Comment on NASA uses laser to send video of a cat named Taters over 19 million miles 4 months ago:
Having a laser they could just as well send the cat. He would follow the laser just as well.
- Comment on A scandal about Bill Gates would be called Bill Gates-gate. 4 months ago:
Why not Bill Watergates?
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 5 months ago:
USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.
- Comment on Show me a better text format for serializing 5 months ago:
Json should also allow for trailing commas. There’s no reason for it not too. It’s annoying having to maintain commas.
- Comment on A lot of YAML 5 months ago:
How’s it annoying? It’s easier to edit by hand than json as it allows for comments and there’s no trailing comma errors. I prefer it any day over json.
- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 6 months ago:
On the other hand the vaccine was free. What’s their target market, the antivaxers?
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 7 months ago:
What do you mean almost as good? You can spend your refund money anywhere. Gift card is only accepted by the store issuing it.
If you’re only shopping with Amazon then for you it may be, but it’s not true for everyone.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 7 months ago:
Not a refund, a gift credit.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 7 months ago:
Can you still access them with VPN?
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 7 months ago:
Don’t confuse store credit with a refund. You’re not getting your cash back. You can only spend it on Amazon which is a dick move, not the right move.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 7 months ago:
Just because they send out the password does not mean it’s not hashed. They could send the email before hashing.
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 7 months ago:
Could be something wrong with a cable? A damaged cable can downgrade your connection from gigabit to 100mb

Haven’t they fished it all out in one of the seasons?
- Comment on PostgreSQL 16 Released 8 months ago:
Sqlite is nice and fast. I think the only disadvantage is you can’t connect to it from multiple processes or machines, so scalability goes out the window.
