encryptluks2··on U.S. FAA closes some airspace in Montana for Defense Department activities
Isn't there some board for out there conspiracies?
encryptluks2··on Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?
These services get paid to promote content. Did you think they are going to promote legit content?
encryptluks2··on Universal Tracking Back – Data Still Destroyed
Can you blame them? These companies can steal money from you and pretty much anything else and people will keep using them. Doesn't matter what they do really if there are no major consequences.
encryptluks2··on Ask HN: Why did medium.com "fail"?
These aren't even the real pain points. Most people using Medium aren't using it to discover new content. The CEO clearly has no clue what they are doing.
encryptluks2··on Apple avoids job cuts because it didn’t overhire like Google and Amazon
These aren't even real analyst. They are propagandist.
encryptluks2··on Yahoo will lay off 20% of staff, or 1600 people
What kind of impact? Yahoo unfortunately has a lot of impact from their news service. It is crap news IMO but a lot of people are into clickbait.
encryptluks2··on Comcast gave false map data to FCC
I get scam calls based on being a previous Xfinity customer and Xfinity got their database hacked and never disclosed the breach. I even had one of those email alias services with a unique Xfinity email address to prove it and Xfinity just ignored the reports.
encryptluks2··on GitHub to lay off 10% and close all offices
Agreed. Probably worse than Teams is Azure, Windows, etc. While things have changed Microsoft would give grief to developers that wanted to run Linux and that was really into open source.
encryptluks2··on Posix Compatibility Comparison: GCP Filestore, Amazon EFS, and Azure Files
At least for Chromium and Android, they are open source and more standard to propose and contribute changes. Yes, Google isn't perfect but they have done a much better job overall for their consumer tools and products.
encryptluks2··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
Edge is continually adding new invasive features. I've had the same policies set for Chrome for some time to remove any telemetry but Edge has a habit of turning things back on that were disabled and trying to push more junk. Chrome has not does this to me and I really don't think your point is accurate, at least not based on my experience and if you compare the two you'll definitely find Edge opting in to much more by default.
encryptluks2··on Posix Compatibility Comparison: GCP Filestore, Amazon EFS, and Azure Files
Microsoft notoriously ignores feedback, even those with the highest votes.
encryptluks2··on Google and Mozilla are working on iOS browsers that aren't based on WebKit
Doesn't Google services work with GrapheneOS?
encryptluks2··on Google and Mozilla are working on iOS browsers that aren't based on WebKit
You don't own Apple products, they own you.
encryptluks2··on Google and Mozilla are working on iOS browsers that aren't based on WebKit
How will enabling alternative browsers from Safari's takeover of Apple-based products, somehow bring the end of other browsers elsewhere? If anything this helps prevent that and since Chromium is open source, app creators can distribute their own browsers if so desired. Lots of people like to complain about the lack of having 100 different browsers to choose from with different backend engines, but if it is so easy then feel free to get started on it.
encryptluks2··on NSA wooing thousands of laid-off Big Tech workers for spy agency's hiring spree
As stated, they are wooing you... At a time when you were let go for having nothing special to offer.

So now you get to decide if you want to be a pawn for the government and entertain their stupid offers so that you can essentially be a monkey in front of a keyboard, or if you want to wait and improve your skills for a time when they are not trying to take advantage of you being jobless and for when you have a newfound confidence in yourself.

encryptluks2··on I've been told (many times) that “the good employees never get laid off”
You have to sign agreements to work at pretty much anywhere in the US... From Wendys all the way to the White House.
encryptluks2··on I've been told (many times) that “the good employees never get laid off”
Lol... If you believe that then demand an employment agreement that states that. Almost all of society functions through agreements. If your employment agreement states employment is at will then you better believe that they mean it.
encryptluks2··on De-Bloated Windows 11 Build Runs on 2GB of RAM
Because browser's haven't built enough compatibility with the desktop to use it like a regular app, therefore severely limiting---sometimes intentionally---what you can and can't access on the file system. It is expected sometime in the near future that browsers will have enough sandbox protection that they will then enable app developers to do the same things that only Electron allows but without the excessive bloat you get from Electron versions.
encryptluks2··on yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
There is also another tool named yq that is Python based, and passes everything through jq. The Go-based yq is pretty awesome, but does have some limitations.
encryptluks2··on Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API
I would have because all his posts are still full of bot spam and crypto scams... But, he certainly has no shortage of bots that upvote and call him king.
encryptluks2··on Play Counter Strike 1.6, with full multiplayer, in the browser
Have you ran the numbers to see how many game developers would switch to get rid of their launchers that they picked. I'm guessing it is zero.
encryptluks2··on Play Counter Strike 1.6, with full multiplayer, in the browser
CSGO works great in Linux.
encryptluks2··on Builder's Remedy goes into effect in many California cities tomorrow
I'd rather live in a tent in a rural area with access to nature than an inner city high rise.
encryptluks2··on U.S. No Fly list publicly shared on a hacking forum, government investigating
Wonder how many people would be on there out of retaliation for something personal, like their wife leaving them.
encryptluks2··on Apple attempting to stop investigation into its practices involving browsers
Firefox notoriously has bad performance on Linux compared to Chromium. Chromium does a pretty good job at implementing new hardware acceleration features while Firefox just got around to it like a year ago and it is still no where as performant. There is noticeable delays for me on Firefox when doing things like resizing windows in a tiling window manager as well.
encryptluks2··on Is tipping getting out of control? Many consumers say yes
It is nice to see logical comments. I brought up the tipping culture issue during COVID-19 cause that is when I saw businesses start exploiting it substantially, and I swear there was some pro-tipping mafia on major message boards that would say you deserve spit in your food is you don't tip, you deserve to be beat up, etc. I believe the service industry is literally engaged in culture wars but fortunately other people have started to wake up to the issues and the discussion is no longer being insta-downvoted like it was before.
encryptluks2··on WY Union Says Court Ruling in Kroger–Albertson’s Merger Favors “Ultra-Wealthy”
Our government is nothing more than a facade at this point working for the monopolies and oligarchy.
encryptluks2··on A large network of fake Google Maps comments/reviews and fake businesses
I wouldn't put it past a Google employee to be involved in a scheme where they paid to have your review removed.
encryptluks2··on T-Mobile says investigating data breach involving 37M accounts
Because we let them get away with it.
encryptluks2··on T-Mobile says investigating data breach involving 37M accounts
Now do Comcast Xfinity. They've been leaking customer information for years without ever disclosing it.
