Wow this looks fun and useful.

If every job requires experience then every graduate will always be jobless.

There are jobs for freshers which doesn't require experience but basic knowledge and skills which you can learn on your own. Or you can do an internship to get the experience.

alraj··on Meta begins rolling out end-to-end encryption across Messenger and Facebook
This may sound wrong, but shouldn't Parents monitor their kids Phone usage in the first place?

They want privacy and they also don't want encryption?

I will report if I am aware of the problem, but what would a child know, they wouldn't even know if they are abused, they are innocent. Parents should be responsible for their child's Phone usage. They allow their child to use social media which is full of predators, yet they don't monitor their social media account? Should parents be mindful of a their innocent child's privacy instead of security?

alraj··on Ask HN: Why are there no custom Kernel or Hobby OS projects in mobile hardware?
That's what I am asking for. Is there really no documents for the hardware on android phones? I am not asking for any particular phone or a particular combination of chips used, but at least an overview document but tells in details about the hardware scenario of the mobile platform.
alraj··on Thunderbird 115
Nice updates from Thunderbird team.

But will E-mail on the whole ever get features like other chat platform? Even conversation view is not good on the eye. Quoting is ugly in long Email body.

Maybe only protocols are getting updated!? I think email is only still here because its a form of identification.

Most companies and groups are moving towards Discord, Slack, etc. for a proper discussion.

alraj··on Lost in the Storm – My 10-year-old daughter thinks she should be dead
Yeah, first of all, the mother didn't even tell us why her daughter became like that, that is very important.

She only tells us how the psych ward is not helping her daughter, when she should first tell us what caused her daughter to become a trauma patient, so that others can protect their children from becoming one.

alraj··on Open YouTube video links directly in the app
Doesn't Youtube Android app has a list of supported links to open? When I click the link it opens the Youtube app directly. But your website will not be in the supported links, so it will open your link in the browser and when you redirect to Youtube won't it also be in the browser?

And what does your website do? does it only redirect? how do you earn?
