agentdrtran··on The Big [Censored] Theory
the kind of censorship that happens when you're building a multibillion dollar tent pole franchise for the entire planet is different.
agentdrtran··on People are demanding that Cloudflare drop Kiwi Farms
> They don't harass or even troll.

The site already has a body count, this is ridiculous thing to say.

agentdrtran··on Retirement of Amazon MOBI eBook file format
You can get library books on your kindle, you just need to use a phone app
agentdrtran··on Meta is raising the price of the Quest 2 to 400 USD
it's really fun but I don't see the use case of staying in it all day
agentdrtran··on Helium has revenues of $6.5k/month after $365M investment from A16Z
Investing in ponzi schemes early is better than later, yeah.
agentdrtran··on Language Tool – Open-source Grammarly alternative
I've been using the paid LT for several months now and love it, it's been very helpful.
agentdrtran··on What I don’t like about working at a remote job
my city has multiple recreational sport leagues that are active, and I spend a good chunk of time volunteering and have met some great people that way.
agentdrtran··on Dutch schools must stop using Google's email and cloud due to privacy concerns
Yeah, it's not great. We had to add logging into our custom app to get around this. The only thing you'll see in logs when adding a delegate is the OAuth log entry for Gmail, which doesn't tell you a lot.

As far as I can tell, adding a delegate or forward isn't even logged anywhere, and being able to see what a delegate is doing was added as a feature only a few months ago: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2022/03/gmail-delega...

agentdrtran··on Let's improve PeerTube – Help us define PeerTube's future roadmap
My understanding is that peertube still uses a single host to store the data. It works like P2P only when there are multiple viewers on a video for bandwidth-saving reasons.
agentdrtran··on Dutch schools must stop using Google's email and cloud due to privacy concerns
You can view full email content in the investigation tool, use the APIs to download their mail via MBOX and read it there, or if you're feeling bold, just add yourself as a delegate to their inbox.
agentdrtran··on Dutch schools must stop using Google's email and cloud due to privacy concerns
If your're on a paid plan it's pretty trivial for superadmins to read your mail. It's logged, but they can.
agentdrtran··on Let's improve PeerTube – Help us define PeerTube's future roadmap
Nope, it's fully decentralized as far as I'm aware. The resolution is "forward the URL to the cops".
agentdrtran··on Show HN: I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings
No, unless you're only doing it to one person or being a jerk about it.
agentdrtran··on Twitter Is Down
do you have the quality filter on?
agentdrtran··on No Refrigerant Left Behind
they do all the time, it doesn't work. people might be dumb but they are not dumb enough to know when they're being pandered to. they have a cultural signifier and they like it that way.
agentdrtran··on Coinbase is reportedly selling geolocation data to ICE
People dislike doing this. It's not a technical limitation, it's a social one.
agentdrtran··on I was part of the 10% Elon's layoff yesterday
these people are profoundly gullible.
agentdrtran··on It's not acceptable that Google does not offer support to users
It's not. I had a spreadsheet suddenly start throwing errors for no discernible reason. Reached out to support expecting something like the enterprise process (send screencast, HAR, etc). Rep replied with copy/paste tips on using Sheets twice, ignoring most of what I wrote, before I just gave up.
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: Where do you post your writing?
I started two Wordpress blogs (using Cloudron), mostly for communicating ideas among small but disparate circles of friends and colleagues.

EDIT: https://socialism.tools/

agentdrtran··on Why have a blog? (2020)
"how do you think becoming pregnant will affect your ability to work?" is also illegal for similar reasons.
agentdrtran··on Uber Eats Nationwide Shipping
Goldbelly does this, it's very much a luxury/gift thing but yeah I don't get it
agentdrtran··on Beautiful Soup
I used Beautiful Soup on one of my first successful programming projects, I still remember how easy it was, and it taught me a lot about python.
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Umbrel – A personal server OS for self-hosting
Cloudron devs have said they're profitable the core team is salaried, but they have some larger nonprofit/NGO type customers.
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Umbrel – A personal server OS for self-hosting
I should have specified Sandstorm, there's apparently a reply from one of the leads of Sandstorm here I need to find.I also should have written "and competitors" like Yunohost and Cloudron but someone else also replied with that so hopefully someone gets some more info.
agentdrtran··on Show HN: Umbrel – A personal server OS for self-hosting
How will this be different from previous services that tried this type of product and failed?
agentdrtran··on What a gas stove ban means for restaurants
I have never lived anywhere, in my entire life, that vented stove air outside — it just "filters" it through a filter nobody ever replaces and blows it back at you, if you're lucky.
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: Has Cloudflare blocked your domain without explaining what's going on?
All of Cloudflare's actual abuse emails look like phishing emails. They told me to email credit card and my Gov't ID in plaintext to them.
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: Has Cloudflare blocked your domain without explaining what's going on?
Justin, is there any plans to change the awful T&S processes Cloudflare has? This thread is full of issues and I experienced something similar, except I got told to email my credit card info to support: https://socialism.tools/why-i-ditched-cloudflare-and-you-sho...
agentdrtran··on Ask HN: Has Cloudflare blocked your domain without explaining what's going on?
One of the worst support experiences I ever had was with Cloudflare. They refused to tell me what I did wrong and demanded sensitive PII over email from as shady address. I moved everything I owned off Cloudflare. For paying customers it might be fine but "free, except it might get randomly nuked" is an awful deal. https://socialism.tools/why-i-ditched-cloudflare-and-you-sho...
agentdrtran··on Policy punishes disabled people who save more than $2k
> The government doesn't want to eliminate people who might be viewed as drains of resources. They want votes and voting demographics they can pander to.

Very curious, can you name any politicians that panders to disabled voters?
