Another metric comes to my mind: if a newcomer has money to spend on ads, then it's a stable firm.
I'm sure there are more.
You can't kill an idea, but you can severely maim it for a generation or 2.
I'd rather wish the previous governments had closed down Fox News, though.
PS: not an USA citizen.
They don't do "Sales", they do "Salesforce"d.
Which is fine unless you get to HN frontpage.
Update:
After the recent hacker news "invasion", I have now determined that the page can handle up to 1536 users before running out of RAM, meaning that the IP camera surprisingly is fully sufficient for its purpose. In other words, I will not be moving the forum in the near future as 32 MB of RAM seem to be enough to run it
I do wish ubports + waydroid would be a reasonable alternative -- but it's wishful thinking.
That's why you need to diversify software ecosystems now.
Move now to alternatives. If you must use Android, GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Play Services.
And this is the only framework I can look to this news with. Either that or mercantilism, I'm told.
Sure, we can always contract a divinacy specialist to guess which hardware may fail next, but I thought the (paid) Windows testers had that job.
However one must note also that for now not even Snapdragon fulfills GOS requirements. If/when that changes, Snapdragon devices may have more open-source community momentum than Google's Tensor. Plus all the economy of scale, etc..
In terms of security, Microtek is even more far behind Snapdragon.
Again, not an Android dev here, take the text above with a grain of salt, YMMV, etc..
"Below suggestions are independent of PuTTY. They are not endorsements by the PuTTY project."
Above of this is a direct link to PuTTY's website.
I'm afraid this is a non-issue. Sure, you are free to rant, and I appreciate the good intentions behind it, but count me out on raging.
www.putty.org SHOULD be the correct address. Failing that, LINKING to the correct website is an acceptable measure, specially when such linking is on top.
Want to blame someone? Blame SEO, where a decent 2000 website with no issues whatsoever is pushed down the results.
I can be easily fooled by such blog entries.
I think it is DMCA for images, tools and derivative works, along as all logging needed to track the creator, the tool and the publisher.
As I said though, I just skimmed the text.
But in time, it will be as easy as installing Linux on a PS5.
I just hope unverified operating systems won't be blocked on similar grounds.
I have never installed OpenWRT on an home router -- too afraid to brick it, to deal with somewhat manual updates [I think].
I bought a GL.iNet. Totally normie, automatic updates. And then, "Hey look, this is... OpenWRT with a GUI!"
There are some [mobile] brands going on similar direction [albeit one that doesn't seem right to me]. Volla & Fairphone. They provide alternatives. I don't like them [the software options available for them], but alternatives exist, working out of the box.
That being said, it is a reasonable compromise that, as long as people know that beforehand, losing Google Pay as the price to loosen Google's grip on your data, location and preferences is an acceptable one [price].
