acct776··on New report on Apple’s VR headset: 8K in each eye, potential $3k price tag
Absurd.

You think massive companies don't price their overpriced things with price-elasticity in mind?!

WASM doesn't just help, it and PWA (progressive web apps) will be exactly what you're looking for - for this and numerous other things.

Google/Android is on board, Microsoft is making Outlook a PWA, so they're on board.

All up to Apple to enjoy some pressure and get with the times.

I run Signal on GrapheneOS and find this comment incorrect and borderline offensive.

Degoogling isn't all it's cracked up to be. You (probably) want their hardware. Definitely don't want their software.

/e/ = Lineage = AOSP (Android) with weaker security.

acct776··on Google Cloud lost $5.6B in 2020
The hardware was? Or the software? Both?

From their historical prices, I find it difficult to believe they're not dogfooding.

acct776··on Ask HN: Do you wake up with anxiety?
Angst when waking up can be tied to cortisol/etc dysfunction - hormone/endocrine imbalance.

Cortisol gives us "panic", it's how we wake. Not showing off, just figure it could help your research.

These attacks are being done algorithmically, automatically now.

Unless nation states or mercs are in your threat model, that is.

acct776··on Suspected Chinese hackers used SolarWinds bug to spy on U.S. payroll agency
Probably the fact that Solarwinds clearly had no businesses being a corporate contractor, let alone a high-level government and military one.

acct776··on We can have democracy or a surveillance society, but we cannot have both
When I was beginning my journey and came across a wall of text like this, I didn't engage it with comments...that'd be absurd.

I'd review its bullets, deeply, because a comment of that depth, in forums such as these, is usually either misdirection because of a personal or paid agenda,

or it was somebody that was passionate about knowledge, & had decided this was the best way to spread less than obvious conclusions they'd spent time compiling, in hopes to spur someone else into learning more.

Skipping those, even if in bad form, because of the former, was a disservice to myself and my goals. So I learned to discern.
