It's only the terminally online Europeans.
byyll··on Ask HN: Do US tech firms realize the backlash growing in Europe?
I am European and I've never even seen anyone talking about it outside the internet. Majority of people do not know and do not care.
byyll··on Reviewing the cryptography used by Signal
I don't understand why someone would put his fetish all over his tech blog.

byyll··on Romanian court annuls result of presidential election first round
Ah, yes, we must protect democracy by... checks notes.. canceling the democratic elections because we don't like the results.
byyll··on Ask HN: What are your most regretted tech purchases?
An iPhone. An employer purchased it for me but it truly is unusable in a lot of ways.
byyll··on Comparing AWS S3 with Cloudflare R2: Price, Performance and User Experience
What is surprising about that? Cloudflare also provides services to terrorists, CSAM websites and more.
byyll··on Unit tests as documentation
Write your unit tests all you want but they are not documentation.
byyll··on Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested at French airport
This says nothing about Russia. Try again.

Show me a screenshot or something, you are the first person this has happened to.

Don't spread easily checked misinformation.

Just russophobia.

Just press next to the message and click 'Report'. It shouldn't be hard to find.

>Telegram group chats are technically open to moderation, yet the company has done nothing to put any kind of moderation in place.

This is not even remotely true. I have reported content many times and when I come back to check it, it's gone. This includes account of spammers, some sellers (or pretending to be) of illegal goods, etc.

This has nothing to do with Russia.

byyll··on SaaS Copywriting: Marketing SaaS Framework
Weird to call a React + Django boilerplate "not bloated".
byyll··on First Contact with SQLite
Fact of the matter is SQLite is appropriate and better for a lot of low-write scenarios on a single machine.
byyll··on HE.net problem
Great news! It's a private company and they can do whatever they want! Just like HE likes to censor.
byyll··on Microsofts AI boss thinks its perfectly OK to steal content if its on open web
I don't have contacts with that neighborhood.
byyll··on Microsofts AI boss thinks its perfectly OK to steal content if its on open web
It's not stealing content if the content is still in the original place. Stop trying to redefine words. It's copying.
byyll··on Show HN: Dorkly – Open source feature flags
So feature flags without the UI?
byyll··on Cloudflare blocking my IP (2023)
Of course, Cloudflare always tries to put the blame on the website owners which just enable a list Cloudflare provides them. Assuming the author is right, it's Cloudflare's fault for not vetting their data, not the website owner.
byyll··on Ask HN: Is Firefox better than Chrome when it comes to user security?
There is no difference for 99.999% of people.

You are so unlikely to get exploited by a browser vulnerability (if you update) that it's not worth writing about. The people powerful/rich enough have or can acquire an exploit for both.

The choice of browsers is more about what features you want and whether you want a browser engine monopoly or not. Firefox has a few features I like not present in chromium and it's also not part of the monopoly so I use it.

byyll··on European Alternatives
Because they have a website and they make the rules, it's not a law. The west Balkans and Belarus are also part of Europe but in none of the unions, associations, etc. mentioned so the domain is misleading too. It's not european, it's "those unions we like".
byyll··on Google has been blocking Invidious with error "This helps protect our community"
> Blocking ads can be viewed as theft from the creators and many creators do see it this way

And nobody should care.

byyll··on Ask HN: What sites are similar to Hacker News?
I don't have anything against it. It's just one of the reasons for being quieter.
byyll··on Stark Industries Solutions: An Iron Hammer in the Cloud
If a lot of attacks come from AS44477, why not just block it?
byyll··on Cloudflare took down our website
> CloudFlare shouldn't have hosted Kiwi Farms in it's current state, because I don't think hosting dox should be legal

But they keep doing it. Just not KiwiFarms but other websites. I've reported it to them, they claim they are only a proxy (that's not true, they are also the registrar and DNS). Nothing was done.
