bsjks··on Covid-19: Runny nose, headache, and fatigue are commonest symptoms of omicron
Good. Now: when are governments going to lift restrictions?
bsjks··on President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment
If it costs more than zero and you don’t care about euros not visiting your site, it makes sense.

For example if you have ads or external analytics (practically 100% of websites) you need a cookie banner. Best to restrict access than to annoy your innocent users.

The only opinions allowed to be had in hn are mainstream opinions and then those that are to the left of the mainstream.
bsjks··on PinePhone Malware Surprises Users, Raises Questions
When you execute a random file you got off the internet (even worse, with sudo) you don’t get to complain about the consequences. The rest of the story is pure fluff.

bsjks··on HTTP/3 Is Fast
It's 2021 and 80% of the load time is spent generating the page because of slow backend languages such as Python and then 20% of the load time is spent compiling and executing the frontend Javascript. I am sceptical that these improvements will even move the needle.
bsjks··on Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: Touchpad Gestures Now Shipping
He could also not have written libinput to begin with. libinput became the default because of political pressure from Red Hat and now we can’t complain if it’s worse than the project it is replacing?
bsjks··on Ask HN: Why iPad/iPhone battery drains even when powered off?
I don’t think that that feature is using 100% of battery in a week.
bsjks··on Please rename aux.py
IIRC windows 9x would instantly bluescreen if you tried to open c:\con\con , probably because of a bug in the filesystem driver.
bsjks··on Ask HN: Are Cybersecurity Workers Ok?
They are crying all the way to the bank.

Unions are throwing shade on not unionising by pointing out only the potential positive side of unions.
