New comment by nottorp in "Digital Sovereignty Becomes an Imperative as the US Reads Dutch Emails"

For large organization data the keys would need to be stored within the organization, not with one particular user as in the case of your personal PII needs.

And then you'd still need to worry about digital sovereignity for the keys.

> I hope this comment wasn't too off-topic from the main point of "pleasure"

It looks to me far away over there in the "what's my profit in reading" direction I'm afraid.

> Same in europe, since a few years.

Yeah, since they started to introduce super duper led headlights and 144 Hz animations on turn signals it's been more and more blinding to drive at night even across the ocean.

Where did you people find any text to discuss? I saw like 3 headlines while scrolling past the first 3 screens then gave up.

I've been there. When Compiz on Linux was all the rage. I grew out of it in like 2-3 months and turned everything off. The problem is with Apple you don't get to turn it off.

I'm upset that Apple is wasting my shader transistors on it.

They toned down the effects in Golden Gate but the backend is doing the same amount of work to blend all that pointless stuff in.

You'd get the performance back if they gave up on the translucently to the point of removing the code.

Isn't docker on mac os still a large preallocated linux VM that runs the containers inside itself? With this maybe you can separate them.

It was bullshit in 2019 it's bullshit now too.

They just keep threatening governments in hope they get a legal monopoly.

Always thought "butthurt" was childish. Looking at Apple no, it's appropriate.

Oh by the way, who decides if the data stays on device or gets sent to Apple?

I bet it's Apple and not the user.

nottorp — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:25:26 +0000

Not in my experience as an european cc user (where non 3d secure is rejected by default) using stripe based (us located mostly) stores.

The ones i've tried to pay on bull rush to charging me with no 2FA and my bank just rejects them.

> Social systems are tied ONLY around work which is not healthy.

That is the real problem. I've been working from home for most of my career, but I also have friends (some i made while working, some from other common interests) and we meet at least every weekend.

Thought getting sleep right was something that happened before MS decided they need to be able to wake your PC any time they want and not hardware related much.

Do you have 3d secure or whatever the marketing name is for it this week?

Because it's my impression that either Stripe doesn't support it or it's so hard compared to the rest of their API that no one does it...

I actually read a good part of the article but I don’t make a difference between the various Anglo Saxon currency symbols :)

New comment by nottorp in "Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?"

nottorp — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:37:46 +0000

What AI is (a part of) HN against?

The actual uses?

The "it will get sentient next year and take over the world" bullshit?

These two things are simply unrelated, and my experience with coding assistants (that I do use daily, because they are useful) says whatever OpenAI and Anthropic say in their marketing is 95% lies and hyperbole.

Any technology that is marketed as a religion will get the same reaction from me.

To elaborate, all their documentation would be behind a login that has to be manually approved and they wouldn't talk to you unless you ordered 1 million pieces.
