Barbingon Ten days later, Git on macOS still trusts the compromised eMudhra certificates

Exceeds character limit, but admins can modify if there’s a better shorter title.

Barbingon Discord will soon let anyone find public server messages through Google

Wonder if HN would’ve penalized it less w/original title https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=50263854

Barbingon Discord will soon let anyone find public server messages through Google

I assumed some ulterior motive. Did they pick the cheap option?

Why would they have left their userbase in the same lackluster search situation for so many years… maybe genuinely massive backlog and improved search won’t improve their numbers like $otherPriority?

Barbingon Reviewers rarely talk about reliability. Owners bring it up twice as often

Can’t believe nobody has figured out how to monetize honest in-depth reviews of everything (restaurants, electronics, etc.)

Think of the billions wasted on inferior/sub-par/non-leading products and experiences, and the happiness opportunity cost.

Barbingon Overgrown, when plants invade your abandoned tabs

To be fair, it seems like we have no rights at borders and I think I read searches are way up or something.

Unfortunately might be safer to have inoffensive browser history rather than none if I had to speculate.

Barbingon Anthropic S-1

> underpromise and overdeliver

Uhh, they can’t say that or they’re calling it an intentional underestimate which obviates their claimed caution right?

Can they really grow that fast?

Perhaps curious if the thinking extends to:

“[Any/most documentation of activity and behavior] is nothing but self incriminating evidence.”

> As for specifics of why, that's something I've chosen to do and that's all that matters.

No obligation to share, certainly.

Curiosity is there in part because we may learn a valuable lesson - something those “with nothing to hide” [I know] might not’ve considered. (not a request, we can learn from others)

Barbingon Oregon Police Are Charging a Local News Outlet $2.5M for Records About One Cop

Great work!

Barbingon America has lost 200k of jobs in media, film and the arts. How much is AI?

Hobbies can help avoid thinking about religion when it’s not on anyone’s mind!

Barbingon Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone

The iPhone is so expensive, definitely want shared photo albums to be part of the ecosystem experience.

I’ll admit I thought you lost out on more by enabling.

Barbingon DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests

Thanks for checking!

I had “[allegedly] ‘some guy’” in mind but maybe some ZDR promise from a megacorp would theoretically be just as good or better.

Barbingon Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads

Gives me hope!

Apple marketing teams are brilliant and can figure out a “quality first” angle to help Ternus announce & defend a slowdown for Apple software teams.

In a paradigm of quality-focused releases every other year, what if they released the betas two years of their new-feature releases ahead of time? & superfunded QA & maybe even responded to every bug report (at least “acknowledged, thank you” & filling out the “Recent Similar Reports:” column). Could even the new-feature releases be just as low-defect as the quality-focused ones?

Slightly too extreme but… If they pretend software’s like their brand new iPhone hardware, that it needs a multi-billion-dollar recall if they make a big enough mistake, maybe that mindset would be a good balance (as I don’t feel hardware innovation’s been stifled by that reality, that it better be dang perfect).

Barbingon DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests

> $0.75 per 1000 searches …[&]… you really [want] the anonymity.

Anybody pooling searches and charging a buck for it with at least a “trust us” privacy promise? Or $1 per 500 even. (Kagi’s more, understandably.) Unsurprising if somebody’s already thought to do this.

Y’all are honestly presenting your accuracy against a competitor right on your homepage - impressive.

Love this concept! Take the web “on a boat” :)
