jwilcoxson··on GPG Suite 2018.4 adds a fee for encrypting and signing new mail
Well, even though I had it installed, I never really used it.

Does this change anything with GPG Keychain?

jwilcoxson··on What Dropbox dropping Linux support says
The first Decider to switch a medium+ business to Linux is going to get his/her ass fired.
jwilcoxson··on What Dropbox dropping Linux support says
I'm not going to discount your anecdotal experience, but this is literally the first time I've ever heard of issues like that on a Mac. The only copy/paste problems I ever run in to is copy/paste from a VMWare VM to the host OS.
jwilcoxson··on What Dropbox dropping Linux support says
I don't think this is a reasonable scenario for the vast majority of people, even if you know someone who can SSH to your desktop for updates.
jwilcoxson··on Valve’s “Steam Play” Uses Vulkan to Bring More Windows Games to Linux

jwilcoxson··on Ask HN: How do you OCR your receipts and bills in 2018?
Scanbot is fantastic, I've been using it for years now.
jwilcoxson··on Ask HN: Which blogs/newsletters would you be willing to pay $5/month for?
I was paying $5/mo for Ars Technica, and recently switched to paying $50/year, because they were giving away a Yubikey with it. You don’t get any more content, but no ads and full text RSS.
jwilcoxson··on Fixing the MacBook Pro
The Touch Bar is mandatory on the 15” model, and while there is a 13” without it, it has two USB ports instead of four, and is using a lower power class CPU. They advertised it more as a replacement to the MacBook Air in the original keynote.
jwilcoxson··on Our Approach to Privacy
You always have a choice to not buy an iPhone X, or if you do, not use Face ID.
jwilcoxson··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
Bing just feels gross to me, just like Google. But as someone pointed out, I guess DDG uses Bing for some of its results, so I don't have much of an argument here.
jwilcoxson··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
Well, I learned something today.
jwilcoxson··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
He is arguing against Johns stance on AMP by calling him a hypocrite citing his views on iOS, literally a perfect example of an ad hominem.
jwilcoxson··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
Checkout Duck Duck Go, still not Google-level results, but it's still pretty good, and not Bing.
jwilcoxson··on Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
While I get your point, your rebuttal is a pretty hardcore ad hominem.
jwilcoxson··on My Pixel has a manufacturing defect
I think Apple is pretty much the king of consumer level support.
jwilcoxson··on 5900 online stores found skimming
Sounds like he contacted some of the sites in the article and they blew him off ("We are 100% secure, don't you see the Verisign badge?!"). But yeah, that still makes sense that it could be pulled for that reason.
jwilcoxson··on 5900 online stores found skimming
Not that I know of. My guess is that somebody on that list threw a DMCA takedown notice at Github/Gitlab to get it pulled. Knee jerk reaction is to pull first, verify later.
jwilcoxson··on Ask HN: What car do you drive?
2006 Mazda3 with a bunch of miles. My wife bought it new and it's hard to make myself want to get anything else since it is paid off and gets great gas mileage.
jwilcoxson··on Apple Responds to Dash Controversy
Call recording != wire tapping. Not that Apple will take kindly to it either way...
jwilcoxson··on Apple Responds to Dash Controversy
Gets popcorn
jwilcoxson··on Apple Responds to Dash Controversy
Nope, I'm a huge Apple guy, just don't care for The Loop at all.
jwilcoxson··on Apple Responds to Dash Controversy
Unfortunately The Loop isn't much of a news site, more of a controlled Apple leak blog. Dalrymple has gotten to the point of being a complete Apple shill.

Edit: Compare the tone of the Loop article to Daring Fireballs:

http://daringfireball.net/2016/10/apple_dash_controversy

Gruber takes a much more unbiased approach, supported well. The Loop article reads like a statement from the Principal read by your teacher.

jwilcoxson··on Fork: Fast and Friendly Git Client for Mac
I don't know why, but a lot of devs seem to just ignore ~/Library/Application Support/, where crap like this is supposed to go
jwilcoxson··on Mac CLI – OS X command line tools for developers
Isn't this just layering the discoverability issue? It's another set of commands to learn, when you should be learning the real commands.
jwilcoxson··on Microsoft has created its own IFTTT tool called Flow
Seems pretty good, it has a nice selection of integrations.

What I noticed was strange was that it won't allow @gmail, @yahoo, @outlook email addresses for signup. You need to have a custom domain.
