huibf··on RFC-0082: Runnning unmodified Linux programs on Fuchsia
What matters is having a stable API, not having the code. Nobody needs the code if there's nothing to fix.
huibf··on RFC-0082: Runnning unmodified Linux programs on Fuchsia
Most of the people who complain about stuff like this are those who run custom, degoogled Android ROMs and think they are entitled to Google's work forever.

You forget the part where all of this was necessary precisely because OEMs couldn't be bothered to update their drivers to work with more recent versions of the kernel.
huibf··on European Union recommends halting non-essential travel from the U.S.
If you are vaccinated then you have nothing to worry about, right? ;-)

Don't most EU countries surpass this limit already anyway?
huibf··on Google Pixel 5a teardown shows that it's still a challenge to repair
2 year warranty mandated by the EU. If it breaks after that I'll throw it away. I just don't see the problem. I know some will think this is a troll comment, but given most people don't care about reparability when they buy a new phone, maybe you should stop trying to push it.
huibf··on EU states looking for MS Teams/O365 alternatives
I am saying, not suggesting, that developers who accept to work for a much lower salary will naturally be, in average, less competent than those who know their worth.
huibf··on EU states looking for MS Teams/O365 alternatives
Good luck finding competent developers and paying them European salaries.

Most of these companies hire mediocre developers in small numbers because of budget constraints and then work on their product on borrowed time until the EU seed money runs out.

huibf··on FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
I'll see if I can remember to mail you in a few days when this account I'm using gets banned.
huibf··on MarkMonitor left 60k domains for the taking
Maybe Bob shouldn't have set cname bob.com.us-east-1.amazonaws.com if he didn't own the bucket?!
huibf··on FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
Both are false. They still actively shadowban users and already banned users have stayed banned.

I said they don't do it anymore. I'm not telegraphing any intentions. It would be like saying I'll shoplift in a store that no longer exists.

But saying people don't broadcast their criminal intentions on social media... I'm sure that's more common than you think :P

huibf··on FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
They did that to me years ago, like ten years or so. Took me weeks to figure out the site wasn't slow when logged out! They don't do it anymore (and thankfully, because if they did it to me now I'd slowloris the hell out of this site).
huibf··on The Future of discord.py
Then I don't understand what the problem is, really.

They should allow server owners to choose whether every bot they have added can read every message or just /commands. But that would require too much intelligence on their part :P
huibf··on IPv4 vs. IPv6 FAQ
If your server is ipv4 only that's okay because it's still reachable via DNS64/NAT64. I know because I've uploaded apps like that recently.
huibf··on T-Mobile Hacker Who Stole Data on 50M Customers: ‘Their Security Is Awful’
I'm comparing how awful T-Mobile's security is to how awful his life in prison will be for leaking the private data of millions of people.

Not an apt comparison, just a very bad joke :D

huibf··on Almost all of the top subreddits are moderated by the same people
Moderators do very rarely speak for the community they moderate.
huibf··on Almost all of the top subreddits are moderated by the same people
I don't know why you're going through all that effort instead of just creating a new account.
huibf··on Almost all of the top subreddits are moderated by the same people
I am convinced that moderating the top subreddits is a very mentally taxing job, not to mention the amount of time that must be spent. Someone who does that kind of work for free is either paid by someone or mentally unbalanced. Neither option seems good for the community.
