havkd··on GTA Modders to Court: Our Game Fixes and Enhancements Are Fair Use, Not Piracy
As much as I’d like them not to lose, they are going to have a hard time here, since they basically disassembled the whole game and posted it on GitHub.
havkd··on Woman discovers AirTag on her vehicle after receiving iPhone alert
Stop trying to get the government involved in everything. It’s not Apple’s fault someone is stalking you using their technology.

You don’t get notifications if you use Android.
havkd··on Google Play permitting alternative billing systems for users in South Korea
> The Android OS is intentionally crippled to work only with Google Play push notifications, and there are no 'stock' ways to use an alternative without modifying the OS.

So modify the OS… it’s open.

havkd··on Impossible food sues to cancel earlier trademark owners
That’s an interesting argument when we are talking about blacks.
havkd··on Firefox Relay
Why not just create a burner Gmail address?
havkd··on Amazon to stop accepting UK Visa credit cards
I like this. If that’s the case, it proves the free market works. You don’t need regulations when corporations can strongarm one another.
havkd··on Ivermectin: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
Ivermectin is completely safe (even if it doesn’t work). The rest of treatments, well, we will know in a few years or decades.
havkd··on Return YouTube dislike count
Yes, the way it’s always done.
havkd··on Sorry Safari Team
> I can see arguments on Twitter and I really want them to stop because it's making us all look bad.

Get off Twitter.

havkd··on Corded headphones are making an unexpected return
That seems a problem with RTP more than with wireless connections.
havkd··on Corded headphones are making an unexpected return
A burst of packet loss that doesn’t translate into at least a disconnection of current TCP streams is, by definition, not a disconnection.
havkd··on Corded headphones are making an unexpected return
> Wi-fi "randomly" disconnects for a few seconds due to interference just as often, but you don't notice

That’s false. If it happens to you, get better wireless equipment.

havkd··on Sweden no longer stands out in pandemic, says architect of ‘no lockdown’ policy
You must also take into account the effect on the economy, mental health, freedoms, etc.
havkd··on Dataminers are finding developer comments and unlicensed songs in GTA Trilogy
Vice City predates San Andreas and used mp3 files for the built in radio stations.
havkd··on Dataminers are finding developer comments and unlicensed songs in GTA Trilogy
Is it news that they are using ogg music files? San Andreas was already doing this in 2004.
havkd··on Email from FBI Looks Odd
So you’re against LTS releases I suppose?
havkd··on Email from FBI Looks Odd
What’s wrong with internet explorer? It’s still in active support.
havkd··on Tech-driven approach to neighbourhood watch is cementing community divisions
Being exposed to reality makes me feel hatred and bigotry.
havkd··on Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka, creator of Somethingawful, has died
It’s like you’re saying that someone who makes rape jokes is more likely to be a rapist.
havkd··on COP26: Germany fails to sign up to 2040 combustion engine phaseout
In Germany?
havkd··on COP26: Germany fails to sign up to 2040 combustion engine phaseout
Good. They are taking the freedom off the lower classes in the name of nonspecific future threats.
havkd··on Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka, creator of Somethingawful, has died
Why does it say “dies” when he killed himself? And please, no trick answers.

One of my favourite posts of his, why lingerie is fucking stupid: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=38...

havkd··on CIA and Gen Z
First, that depends on your circles. Second, many people turn to the right as they mature.
havkd··on Tim Cook: Users Who Want to Sideload Apps Can Use Android
I’m happy with AltStore, thank you.
havkd··on Ask HN: Could VSCode be the new Emacs?
It works well, but online tutorials have instructions that don’t necessarily work on Windows. Some of the most popular plugins (or whatever you call them in Emacs) don’t work well on Windows either.
havkd··on Ask HN: Could VSCode be the new Emacs?
I’ve wanted to switch to emacs for a long time, but it feels like a second or third class citizen on Windows. There are many guides online on how to prepare it to be used as an IDE for different programming languages but it all breaks down when you try to follow the guides on Windows.

On the other hand vscode is first class, or almost.

havkd··on Workers in Portugal could see healthier work-life balance under new labour laws
I guess it’s the same situation as in Spain - if you earn a degree and you stay in Portugal you’re a grade A idiot. In other words brain drain.
havkd··on A terrible schema from a clueless programmer
Then this post is very misleading.
havkd··on A terrible schema from a clueless programmer
Is this correct? Would indexing the columns instead of moving the values to another table lead to the same increase in performance?
