Using my brain to solve abstract problems and getting money that I can exchange for food, in the comfort of an office or a home, is already way past hunter-gatherer. Now if I don't even get to use my brain that's more a dumbification than domestication.

The article is not about the output but on the process. Sure you can produce more and more quickly with AI, but at the price of losing the ability to do the same without it. And that's been true in my experience

For free idk, I personally use a VPS (with unlimited traffic) and Tailscale. Someone has to pay for the public IP and proxy.

> due to LLM sloppers pushing large amounts of trash code

Which they encouraged by pushing Copilot down everyone's throat

I think this is a client flag, not a server one.

Has anyone noticed how changing the viewport changes the uptime percentage?

Claude code co-authors commits, that might account

I can add certificates on my unrooted android. That how HTTPToolkit [0] works, it only requires adb, which (thankfully) doesn't trip banking apps. Banking apps can (and do iirc) pin certificates, so a rooted phone adds no risk whatsoever.

Also in my experience a rooted phone experience is by far more secure than the OEM androids. Security is supposed to assess risk objectively, yet "running on a Xiaomi phone with 3rd party apps that cannot be uninstalled and have system access" is somehow more secure than "running on a signed LineageOS where user can edit hosts file".

Yep that's my experience as well, if you don't get the play protect™ absolution your device is seen as rooted. Latest app to display this BS behavior was PagerDuty, I guess they have to protect their secret sauce of calling an API and showing notifications

A collegue of mine was tech lead at a large online bank. For the mobile app, the first and foremost threat that security auditors would find was "The app runs on a rooted phone!!!". Security theater at its finest, checkboxes gotta be checked. The irony is that the devs were using rooted phones for QA and debugging.

Are you saying that corporations respect the letter of the law when it comes to privacy? They don't, they can just drop some lunch money when caught red-handed [0]

Even when they write in their privacy policy that they collect private data and sell them to third parties, unlawfully, that does not make it any better. Cambridge Analytica was operating with respect to Facebook policies. Would you say that people that took an IQ test and were manipulated into voting pro-Brexit were well-aware of the sauce they were eaten with?

Discord is unfortunately no different, they're profit-driven and likely to sell user data already or in the future, because it's incredibly easy and profitable to do so. Why would a chat app try and predict its users' gender? [1]

Would you say that slaughtering Native Americans and enslaving Africans "worked pretty well" for them, or do you only speak from the White adventurer perspective?

Just because some CEOs pour billions into fantasy projects it doesn't mean they're viable. Otherwise we all would be in the metaverse wouldn't we?

Being a node dev - by necessity, I've settled on dotenvx [0] for committing encrypted .env files.

If they're not doing evil work, why all the secrecy? It's not like they're going bankrupt either since, like you mentioned, the demand is not going away

I believe news sites let crawlers access the full articles for a short period of time, so that they appear in search results. Archive.is crawls during that short window.

From Incus main page:

> The Incus project was created by Aleksa Sarai as a community driven alternative to Canonical's LXD. Today, it's led and maintained by many of the same people that once created LXD.

Thé confusion si real

Communication requires accurate timing. Time dilation occurs between Earth and satellites, a phenomenon that isn't part of Newton mechanics, so relativity is indeed involved.

Still, it is _personal_ data collected and sold by Google, which was the point raised by gp comment. As for it being personally identifying, the aggregation/pseudonymization/anonymization process doesn't even prevent precise identification [0]. I'd say it's pretty close.

Source? Google is literally an online ad monopoly, and being sued for it. They did track and continue tracking users, and they sell data though their SSP, DSP, ad networks, ad exchanges they own.

In the empirico-criticism philosophy (which influenced general relativity), the real cannot be understood outside of one's sensations

Someone did? Could you pls share a link?

The disaster of global surveillance? Just because you don't pay with money doesn't mean the product is free. Expecting users beyond the HN crowd to have an informed opinion about the browser war is not realistic, especially given the substantial amount of dollars that Alphabet spent to market "Chrome == Internet". Which antitrust laws are supposed to prevent.

Nice project! I would advise to use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of $HOME for storing the configuration file though :)
