naeeqn··on Apple's child protection features spark concern within its own ranks: sources
I agree. I wanted to believe that despite being a greedy coropration - like they are all - and despite the hidden compromises in security they do (like not encrypting backups because the FBI asked them to) they would at least try their best to avoid being scumbags.

Too bad. Scumbags they are.

naeeqn··on Ask HN: My country may be in the midst of a coup – how should I get prepared?
You do not want to use the US as your role model.
naeeqn··on Stopping FTP support in Firefox 90
Terrible argument.
naeeqn··on ASK HN: Is Windows going to force upgrade from 10 to 11?
wpd.app Block windows updates. Done.
naeeqn··on YouTube alternatives: P2P video hosting that uses up to 60% less bandwidth [pdf]
Unrelated to this link, but youtube is WAY slower than pretty much any other video alternatives. Note I even use the embed link for the video and have ublock, so it's not the youtube UI boggling it down.

Don't feel like writing more right now, but just felt like saying youtube is terrible in performance to my eyes.

naeeqn··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit so awful?
They stopped being open source, added far more telemetry, changed the gold system to incentivize purchases, changed the design to the new one (slower, far more js), etc.

Personally I stopped browsing reddit a few years ago. It used to be amazing.

I hope you're joking.
naeeqn··on Beeep beeep beeep beeep beeep
