BoysenberryPi··on Reddit uses “reddit.com” itself as the endpoint for logging usage data
I use teddit and have generally refused to use reddit ever since they made the mobile experience unusable with the constant "Please download our shitty app" screens.

BoysenberryPi··on Apple requires account deletion within apps in AppStore starting January 31
I feel like this is an objectively good thing. On Android, there are many times I signed up for something just to try it out only to decide it wasn't for me and have no way to delete my account. Currently the only thing you can do is just throw in some dummy information and leave it in the wind.
BoysenberryPi··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
I really really want this laptop but my work has become increasingly GPU dependent. Hopefully they release a model with a lightweight GPU.
BoysenberryPi··on I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
This just sounds like some weird hipsterism. While Linux has plenty of programming tools, there are plenty of other industries that are underserved by Linux and I don't see how putting out commercial programs for those people will "kill it for you." Linux more than anything else allows you to just not involve yourself in things you don't want concern yourself with.
BoysenberryPi··on After criticism, Apple to only seek abuse images flagged in multiple nations
> The big question for me is how and why Tim Cook and Apple's board signed off on a plan to do huge damage to Apple's reputation and user trust. If they didn't know, it's a problem. If they knew and didn't realize the inevitable backlash, well that's a different problem.

Comments like this make me wonder how in touch HN is with the average person because I genuinely don't believe most people care or even know that this is happening. I may be wrong but Apple could've pretended this backlash doesn't exist and did nothing about it and they would lose nothing for it.

BoysenberryPi··on The Pleasures of Tsundoku: How I learned to stop worrying and love book piles
If you want to read then plan a time to read. 10 PM, 6 AM, whatever works for you and read for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, however long you think your attention can hold. Eventually that time will get longer and longer.
BoysenberryPi··on The Framework Laptop is now shipping
2 questions:

1. Have you sent review copies to any independent review channels like LTT, Gamers Nexus, etc etc? I've seen the Tested video but that was in a very controlled environment and I'm mainly waiting on independent reviews before buying one.

2. More of a business question that I'll understand if you don't want to answer, without sharing any actual numbers, has the preorder volume been more or less than you expected?

BoysenberryPi··on Restoring your privacy costs money, which makes it a marker of class
I think this a pedantic take on the headline. The intent behind the entire article is that privacy is a privilege for those who can afford it.
BoysenberryPi··on We replaced rental brokers with software and filled 200 vacant apartments
Is this not already automated? I log into my apartments tenant portal, file a maintenance request, and tomorrow there's a dude at my door to fix my stuff.
BoysenberryPi··on Show HN: Side Quest – An aggregator for not full-time tech jobs
This is very timely for me so thanks for making it. Looking to cut back on my work hours and would like to find something part-time.
BoysenberryPi··on Robinhood S-1 IPO
Robinhood's value is all UI and UX. Every other finance app is in the past. Vanguard, Etrade, even ThinkOrSwim; none of them even come close to how easy Robinhood is to use. I also left Robinhood after the GME thing but man their app is so streamlined compared to everyone else.
BoysenberryPi··on Siemens acquires Supplyframe, owners of Hackaday and Tindie
Huge fan of Hackaday so I'm really not with this acquisition but if you offer me 700,000,000 for my blog I'd sell it too. I wish them the best of luck.
BoysenberryPi··on Ask HN: Why are hacker news readers so obsessed with Rust?
This is diverging from what the thread is about but what has been made in Zig that is worth talking about? Zig has no killer app so to speak. For Rust that was Servo. Rust has gone far beyond Servo and Mozilla at this point but Servo was the first real project that made people go "oh this is not just a toy this is real." I don't think Zig has anything like that. I see a lot of talk about Zig but no major projects.
BoysenberryPi··on Framework Laptop pre-orders are open, starting at $999
This is my guess:

1. AMD is having major supply issues and is not allocating their supply towards laptops. Laptops are just not a huge priority for them right now when all of the consoles, desktop CPUs, and GPUs are flying off the shelves.

2. Intel not only has consistent supply but Intel frequently works with "experimental" projects like this helping OEMs with design. Complete speculation but I would not be surprised if Intel had a hand in the design of this laptop.

BoysenberryPi··on Uber used 50 Dutch shell companies to dodge taxes on $6B in revenue
Frankly if I was a billionaire and had the means to setup my own charity that I had complete visibility into so I knew exactly where every penny was spent I would do that over giving it to another foundation.
BoysenberryPi··on Apple tries to get Epic to admit there's porn on its store
That's my mistake. I knew it was developed my Square Enix but for some reason I thought it was published by Nintendo. My fault I should've double checked.
BoysenberryPi··on Apple tries to get Epic to admit there's porn on its store
This is a lie because The World Ends With You NEO is coming to PC via the Epic Game Store. Maybe this is lawyer speak for "we were in talks but we have a deal so we are not in talks any more"
BoysenberryPi··on Facebook, Instagram threaten to charge for access unless you give them your data
If a company is monetizing your data then they aren't stopping with the free users.
BoysenberryPi··on Facebook, Instagram threaten to charge for access unless you give them your data
I find it hilarious that Apple would take 30% of that fee if they start charging.
BoysenberryPi··on An update to our YouTube TV members on Roku
Defamation. What Roku is alleging is a direct attack on Google's reputation and if Google is telling the truth then it should be easy to verify in communications between Roku and Google.
BoysenberryPi··on An update to our YouTube TV members on Roku
None of this passes the smell test to me but this in particular

> ...To be clear, we have never, as they have alleged, made any requests to access user data or interfere with search results. This claim is baseless and false.

If Google is telling the truth here I feel like this is worth launching a lawsuit against Roku.

BoysenberryPi··on Google and Apple attacked on app store 'monopoly'
> She also accused Apple of preventing Tile from using the technology behind Apple's Find My function, giving AirTags an unfair advantage.

I am not a person who uses Apple products so someone please clarify for me. Does Apple grant access to this to other people? Can I create a GPS-enabled product and use Apple's SDK to implement "Find My...?"

BoysenberryPi··on Grafana, Loki, and Tempo will be relicensed to AGPLv3
Frankly I'd be surprised if Kubernetes wasn't dead in 20 years.
BoysenberryPi··on Edward Snowden NFT Sells for $5.4M in Ethereum
They are not nationless. Revoking someone's passport is not revoking someone's citizenship. Snowden was and is still a US citizen.
BoysenberryPi··on Alienware Doesn’t Want You to Buy an AMD Ryzen PC
I believe the real answer is between column A and column B. It would not surprise me to learn that Intel has exclusive product agreements with certain manufacturers top shelf products like the Thinkpad X1, Surface Pro, and the Dell XPS. Long before the shortage, people have been wondering why they can't buy any of these products with a Ryzen CPU. A Ryzen Thinkpad X1 would be an instant purchase for me personally.

However, there is no denying that AMD is having supply issues and is arguably mismanaging the supply they do have with their constant paper launches.

BoysenberryPi··on Min wage would be $44 / hour if it had grown at same rate as Wall Street bonuses
So what? I am fully in support of increasing minimum wage but I've been seeing articles like this for weeks and it is frankly garbage ragebait that I hesitate to call journalism.
BoysenberryPi··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
I wasn't going to jump into this thread and I don't want to turn this into "Relationship News" but, I feel like I need to let you know.

I grew up with divorced parents who were together longer than they should've been and let me tell you, kids know. They absolutely know when their parents are together but can't stand each other and what's worse, they may assume it's their fault.

BoysenberryPi··on How do I permanently delete my account? [discord]
Element is probably the closest thing to Discord for people who want to self-host. https://element.io/
BoysenberryPi··on How do I permanently delete my account? [discord]
Mumble is not an alternative to Discord and I don't know why people think it is.
BoysenberryPi··on Microsoft in talks to buy Discord for more than $10B
The 3 biggest problems I have with it are search, history, and stability. Scrolling back in time past a few weeks will frequently just crash Teams for me. The search Teams has is beyond basic and genuinely unhelpful most of the time, and I frequently just don't get my alerts despite being available and someone directly @ing me. Then there are tons of small problems like Teams automatically setting me as away if I don't touch my mouse for 15 minutes or sometimes I'll have Teams on a second monitor while working in a primary monitor and Teams will have set me as away for no reason. Also Teams threads are literally the worst UX I have ever had. I am not exaggerating
