- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 3 weeks ago:
You are talking about hypothetical situations in the organization with around 2694 maintainers. What I find interesting, is that no one in this thread thought it would be good to check if these 11 already contributed something harmful. Instead, it’s just “good, we prevented a bad thing”.
Anyway, your extreme take “ban all Russians because what if” goes much further than what happened in reality (“ban Russians working for companies under sanctions”): …kernel.org/…/860ef93c-229b-4070-8ee6-cb80d1f5133…

I have no problem collaborating with people from any of those countries we should hesitate to put them into influential positions
“I’m an American, and therefore I’m better”
where the government has a larger influence
We’re literally talking about Linux Foundation making these changes to comply with requirements of your government.

- Comment on Some basic info about USB 2 months ago:
The standard might be complicated if you want the specifics, but for everyday use it’s incredibly simple, and I love it. The number of times I needed this information is 1, even though most of my devices, including an external monitor, are USB-C.
- Comment on Some basic info about USB 2 months ago:
Do people care? You just plug in your thing and it works, fast enough in most of the cases.
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 2 months ago:
I’d be down if Discord offered optional/default compression for images/videos. Yeah naybe my photos are 10 MB each, but with a slight quality loss they can get under 1 MB. Telegram does it well.

- Comment on GrapheneOS now officially supports Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL | GrapheneOS is a private, secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility, developed as a non-profit open source project 2 months ago:
- All of my banking apps work, I have 6 of them.
- You can buy an older Pixel, 5 or 6. They’re still great.
- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 2 months ago:
Can they develop a paint that reduces the amount of cars? That would be more helpful.
- Comment on A millennial couple who make $250,000 say they can't find a home in their budget: 'We refuse to become house-poor' 2 months ago:
Having things to do is important to some of us.
Also the fact that you work from home doesn’t mean that you won’t need to find another job later, and then your “stuff to do” might become a multi-hour commute to the new workplace.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 6 months ago:
I wonder if it applies to routers made by a company who likes collecting user data. Because this is a situation many people are in.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
2 factor came into our life because people were using same passwords everywhere. With unique passwords, which are easy with password managers, it’s rarely needed.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
It’s a separate app with no sync to Bitwarden accounts.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
Just like in the password manager, they ignored HOTP. Oh well.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 8 months ago:
Because someone built an easy-to-use solution for organisations to charge money for. The same thing with Cisco VPN that every other software company seems to use.
- Comment on Instagram and Facebook delete the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader 8 months ago:
Screw this guy, but what’s baffling is that Meta didn’t do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn’t violate their policies.
- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 8 months ago:
Obsession with one of the least energy efficient and one of the most harmful ways of transportation has to end.
Build a fucking train.
- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 8 months ago:
Directly via exhaust? It’s a significant number, but maybe not the biggest one. But add manufacturing, oil (or battery materials) extraction and refining, road infra construction and maintenance, emissions connected to suburbanization, microplastic pollution from tires, health and safety impact, and you’ll get a much grimmer picture. LEDs won’t cut it, and cars do not scale to 8B people.

It wasn’t “built on Activitiy Pub”, and I don’t believe they will ever implement the protocol.
- Comment on Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says 11 months ago:
Which is 1.5 times bigger than a common Smart, and is discontinued. Instead, GM is actually focusing on making electric… trucks 🥲
