I agree that it’s suspicious. This is a HUGE number that would imply a drastic change in their development process and I’m surprised that they don’t give much more information, especially since (as you said) it would promote their product.

Not disappointed by The Verge, first paragraph paraphrases the title with no source and the following is just off topic.

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a bit more subtle than that. While the medium really facilitate the behavior that you describe, I’m pretty sure that it also hosts sane usages, creative content and positive communities.

Answering from my Fairphone 3 & its brand new battery 😎
The improvement on cameras is nice though, but I think it’s been nice enough for anyone for a while and people are just comparing color balance now.

I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it’s been a while since anybody cared? Right?

Well, when good documentation is available it isn’t necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

On Firefox I think you have to right click on the address bar while the website is open to register a new search engine?

Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn’t home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡

“Import” does appear on the roadmap for this month, we probably can’t know what’s the scope fr that but you’llhave your answer soon :p
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 6 months ago:
My only criteria when switching email was to be able to use my own domain name. Now I almost don’t receive anything on my gmail and I can transparently switch provider. I think it was a relevant move, I won’t move to self hosting but I could ! :)

I’ve always conjectured that good Makefiles existed but never seen one (or only for tiny projects). The core semantic of Makefiles is clear and straight to the point, I think the issue is in all the magic that was added to that to spare a few lines.

While I think the issue you raise does sort of make sense, it derivates from the initial concern : if you don’t want your domain listed in a DNS record you certainly don’t want it to be indexed by a search engine :p

And it’s not only about user data, it would also expose the website to content spoofing in public wifi, which would for example allow the attacker to inject fishing content in the website. The SSL encrypts the data you’re sending but it also ensures that you’re communicating only with who you think you are. Without SSL you can’t be confident about any of that.

And on the other hand it is a very obvious question to expect. If you have something hide how on the world are you not prepared for this question !? 🤡

Yeah, the fact that AI progress just relies on “we will make so much money that no lawsuit will consequently alter our growth” is really infuriating. The fact that general audience apparently doesn’t care is even more infuriating.

- Comment on Encrypted email service Skiff gets acquired, will shut down in six months 8 months ago:
But what you are suggesting only works if you only communicate with people who use gpg-aware clients, right? I’ve done that for years but I was mostly only able to sign my emails because nobody cares.
But of course when using a provider like Proton you can only trust them to keep just encrypted data.

Maybe they want to suck part of the codebase into notion?
I have a friend who works with ex Zenly employees, and that’s exactly what Snapchat did with them.

But that’s not necessary a better thing to do then. It might decrease awareness on the ease of generating fake images for the general public 🙁
- Comment on Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ will start cracking down on password sharing | CNN Business 9 months ago:
I subscribed to a pack for “most streaming services in my country” because I earn enough money now and wanted to try being honest. But I will very probably not renew it, I pay 50€/month, but still use Plex almost as often :
- The web apps suck, the mobile ones are often worse (laggy, contrast changes while watching, lack of features …)
- Some shows are not available in a decent quality : in France we have Kaamelott, owned by Canal+, they probably made an intern upload the episodes so it’s only available at 360p
- They try to control what you watch : the “continue watching” section of Netflix has been randomly moving from line 1 to 4 for a while now, seemingly just to push their bulshit recommendation algorithms that will me watch yet another cheap copycat
- Some “premium” movies are not part of any subscription (eg. Puss In Boots 2)
- Some show may not be available anywhere when shady exclusivity contracts expire (eg. “Au service de la France” was only available through piracy last time a friend tried to watch it) …
Sooooo … I was ok with the services sucking but I can’t be okay with them so obviously not trying to improve.
It’s also incredible how I was pirating everything else when I was a teenager (video games, books, audio, …) and managed to stop almost immediately when I received my first salary.

- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 9 months ago:
On a more positive note, Facebook and XFormerlyKnowAsTwitter are not essential parts of the internet. You can choose to not use or care about them. It is much harder to not use NTP, and it’s great that it is an open and comprehensible standard 👌
