altindag··on Show HN: Open your stupid link in a safe space so it doesn't hurt you
Hey finger, I tested on iPhone 8 on 13.5.1 and did not see this issue. Were you using an iPad? Any more info?

Sorry about this!

altindag··on RSSHub: Everything Is RSSible
I think this is bullshit. It's like saying, "I'm not racist, my friend Bob is black."

You don't get a "get outta jail free" card for saying "I love CHinese people" and "oorah for China devs" and then heaping shit all over their country's achievements the rest of the time.

Do people who say this think they understand China or Chinese people even a little bit?

altindag··on Show HN: Open your stupid link in a safe space so it doesn't hurt you
Thanks. I better check on what's happening

edit: all fixed now, correct certs are back. I had switched branches and the changes came into effect when server restarted, including different certs.

altindag··on Show HN: Open your stupid link in a safe space so it doesn't hurt you
Thanks I'll work on it

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. I'll run some tests when I'm near a iOS. Do you have any more information?
altindag··on Show HN: Open your stupid link in a safe space so it doesn't hurt you
It definitely should work. What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Do you have more information about what happened?

I just tested and made a screen recording showing it definitely works here: https://github.com/dosyago/ProductMedia/blob/master/ISOlatio...

Classic line from this piece

This was before the marketing departments of google and other frauds made objective thought about this impossible.

Ok, bug fixed. Should work ok now.

edit: still got issues....

altindag··on Google: Open Letter to Australians
That's true. I suppose that's the idea. If that's the case, technical education should become a part of judgeship, if it's not already.
altindag··on Google: Open Letter to Australians
hehehe. yeah the due diligence document room. and lots of minified JavaScript UI code.

I love how companies can say complying with legislation would be overly burdensome. and how governments can make laws that have no technical reality. the interface between tech and law is pretty leaky and inefficient.

altindag··on Google: Open Letter to Australians
That's more like it. if it was just that letter and PR release I'd be surprised. but even so... I think it's just for show.

remember news Corp is not just an Australian company. this could be part of a bigger game between Google and newscorp, and between newscorp and the aus gov.

altindag··on Google: Open Letter to Australians
I doubt this. we are beholden to Google. we can't just go elsewhere even if we disagree with some things some people in Google do. advertiser or consumer. or government. they ain't losing half their business anytime soon, no matter what kind of things they pull.
altindag··on Google: Open Letter to Australians
interesting. it seems to me that if Google really wanted to influence Australian public opinion, they have far more sophisticated ways to go about it than this clumsy attempt at PSA outreach slash fear mongering. It's almost as if they need to be seen to be taking some responses to the media payment legislation but they don't really care. That's what's interesting to me. I wonder why they would not care.

perhaps because they have inside knowledge that the legislation is a dead duck and the government doesn't intend to follow through but perhaps the government is simply doing this for whatever reasons maybe political points with the population.

I have no doubt that the Australian government and Google play a delicate dance with each other while they both cooperate and see that they both get the outcomes they both want. so the gloss that this is all about consumers, spouted by both sides, I think is false.

anyway, interesting to watch where this goes.

I need to switch on the secure document viewer to enable attachments. Probably in the next few hours if it becomes popular
