violent unstable people aren't inherent to cities.. they're inherent to places that refuse to spend any money on social work/housing/and enjoy punishing people

waymos shouldn't exist, and san francisco shouldn't just be a experimentation lab for tech companies

perhaps their pipeline doesn't allow the pm's to easily check their code, or their computers aren't setup for running/compiling code? idk

ugh this kind of stuff just makes me wish DNS was less centralized, even though it's already incredibly uncentralized.. of course it's just all registrars just being a weak point.. as always

you can't selectively turn off junk notifications from apps that you need notifications from.. i want to use the peets app to know when my coffees ready but it spams me with pumpkin spice latte deals..

i can't believe anyone would pay money for their product. It's alpha grade software through and through. Once a large enough company loses enough data through a encryption miss-step or federation issue they're going to pivot off of this product and move on.

The UX for E2EE is full of trip mines that will easily lose your encryption key. You need to be designing a product around people who don't read and just want a slack/discord like format. The amount of times i've lost my decryption keys or my friends have lost my decryption keys because they don't religiously backup their keys is such a dramatic time sync..

well.. alot of times you'll get enterprise or the upper plans with microsoft when using their products in large orgs, and from what i've heard it's essentially meaningless as it all still routes to some help desk in india that doesn't have time or interest helping you

ailurooo — Tue, 14 May 2024 20:17:49 +0000

because hn mods refuse to give bad light to tesla and israel, perhaps to avoid a flame war, perhaps to support their own bottom line. idk i just have a rss feed turned on to ingest new posts before they get yanked, and have a hn account with the option to see shadow banned accounts turned on.. and that mostly deals with this..

yeah.. it's amazing how much time and money is thrown at these new cpu's with such tiny diminishing returns for the end consumer. I wish we could do like a 4 year cycle of progress where engineers had longer cycles to innovate and like make a comprehensive upgrade rather than wasting all of these materials for a 10% upgrade that no one will notice.

most people want to never hear about AI again, it's everywhere in their face all of the time. Technologists and grifters are so dominant in the field and have zero ethics, people just don't want to deal with anything adjacent.

it's a memory safe web server with alot of sane defaults. When comparing apache, nginx, and caddy configs. Caddy's are alot more terse and have alot of settings turned on by default that make sense, but can be further customized.

dude hosting data costs money, why do you think you should get terabytes of data hosting for a tiny price. Obviously they're a stable, good platform, if you've been on them for 15 years. Paying for a good service that you like is like what every other industry does why is email any different..
