- Comment on YSK that JetBrains IDEs do not remove old share and cache files from the previous version when upgrading. Every folder includes a local LLM, plugin executables, and old search indices. They go unused. Removing old versions freed up 14.8 GB storage for me. 1 week ago:
I think this is probably because of the setting in toolbox to keep previous versions for rollback
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 1 month ago:
I think Wero is supposed to become the replacement for all of that, though I’m not sure if it’s gonna have similar features. For now it’s only available in a few countries unfortunately.

It can alsoake fes that perform way worse than they have anything to. See yandere simulator for example
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 1 month ago:
You don’t, there’s privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.
Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn’t nearly as bad as you might think.
The connection isn’t active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there’s actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?
Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?
Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:
When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

That doesn’t have anything to do with how you install the app.
- Comment on Dogs should have tags with the name of their owners too 1 month ago:
The id is registered to some database where you can look up the info.
If the registry is partnered with europetnet, you can find it here: www.europetnet.org/pet-id-search.html
If not you’ll have to figure out where the id was registered and request the info there.
- Comment on The 16‑kilobyte curtain. How Russia’s new data‑capping censorship is throttling Cloudflare 2 months ago:
You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.
- Comment on Is Matrix cooked? 2 months ago:
uh, no? on smartphones, yes, but not on computers.
That’s not true. Most operating systems at least have filesystem permissions, and on a lot of Linux distros you additionally get AppArmor or PolKit to further restrict what files a program can read/write.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 months ago:
Actually I think I remember watching a technology connections video about how card in the US can use the headlights as a turn signal, or something like that.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure most cars have a turn signal near the headlights, and one on the mirror or on the side for that use case, no?
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 2 months ago:
Sure, but I’m not paying for every byte sent overy network, while I am paying for every kWh I use.
That’s all beside the point though, this is just a fun diy project so who cares really.
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 3 months ago:
Though now that I think about it, I did have to register my domain with Google in some way to stop being flagged as spam iirc.
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 3 months ago:
I also self hosted for years (using tuta mail with my own domain now), and have never had issues with my deliverability either.
- Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later. 3 months ago:
OK, cool? Your experience doesn’t mean this doesn’t happen though, and no one is saying this is any kind of proper way to train an animal.

You can just go look at the sources of the article man.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 3 months ago:
Even if you’re an actual software dev, it’s still pretty much impossible to guess how much work something is without knowing the codebase intimately.
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 3 months ago:
In the Netherlands there’s a few ISPs offering 4Gb and one even 8Gb iirc. Personally can’t really think of a use case for that though.
- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 3 months ago:
Lmao one of the pages on their website lists a few events at 123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345. I’m starting to get the feeling these people don’t take their job very seriously.
The “divorce” link just leads to “divorce”. Not “shittysite/divorce“. Just,” divorce".

You could also just… not update.

Yeah if they get a warrant they’re 100% just handing over all the data

Lol that’s it? That’s hardly inconvenient at all, just gotta make sure you don’t publish broken shit I guess

- Comment on Apple announced that the company has surpassed a 60 percent reduction in its global greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels. 4 months ago:
Seems to me they responded to
I hope other technology companies try to aim for something similar
Which, according to them, they are.

Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?

- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 5 months ago:
OK I think I see what you’re saying now:
If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.
I don’t see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they’re just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 5 months ago:
No, using Google makes Google money. That’s why they pay mozilla go be the default.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 5 months ago:
Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I haven’t idea what they’re talking about.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 5 months ago:
Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 5 months ago:
French evolves: it has a committee to weed out stupid.
How are you going to stop people from using these “stupid” evolutions? That’s just not how language works. If this is really something France does, I’d imagine what they’d end up with is dictionaries that don’t at all match how people really speak.
