pedro2··on Coinbase lays off around 1,100 employees
It has been read somewhere that's due to the possibility to gobble up/buy competitors with no blocking by the state of such behaviour, specially since state deregulation in the 70s.

So there is the possibility the market can be made to care again.

pedro2··on Deluge BitTorrent Client
Don't forget movie trailers :) I think I still have the trailer for the first Harry Potter stored somewhere :')
pedro2··on The new and upgraded Framework Laptop
What do you mean doesn't support? Source?

PS: works on an 11th gen i5

EDIT: according to [1] S3 is supported on 12th. BIOS just hides it exists (not written in linked the article)

pedro2··on Starlink for RVs
Far from me to defend Musk but assholes have a place in society -- they just need to be monitored.

Whatever the means he has used, he kickstarted (in the minds of consumers) at least three industries.

Would I willingly give him money? No. Unless I had an RV :)

pedro2··on The Future of the Gitlab Web IDE
These things tend to follow circular patterns. In 40 years, if we don't blow ourselves up, we are back on personal computers.

If until then I'm able to compile stuff on my computer, I'll be happy (source available <> able to compile).

pedro2··on Firefox's protection against fingerprinting
TBH, Firefox seems snappier than Chromium-based browsers. Check your extensions.
pedro2··on The new and upgraded Framework Laptop
I was under the impression it was largely a BIOS option.

Basically if S0idle is advertised as supported, S3 isn't.

On recent BIOS on Thinkpads this tends to be an option which can be toggled.

pedro2··on The Texas electric grid can barely keep the lights on
So has Musk changes the Tesla factory to Texas yet?

Serious question.

pedro2··on Humanity’s broken risk perception is reversing global progress
I agree with you but I'm easily swayed by liberal propaganda.

What's your opinion on unions?

pedro2··on Your phone may soon replace many of your passwords
The villain is locked in in a room which requires a retinal scan from the guard to leave. So he proceeds to stab the eye globe of the guard with a pen to be able to unlock the door.

As such I tend to prefer cloneable credentials. Everything that is unique (cellphone, ...) would imply that access credentials could be stolen (as in, actually stolen, not copied), which could imply the threat of violence to succeed.

pedro2··on Your phone may soon replace many of your passwords
Voted for reasonability.

Did you see Demolition Man? What do you think about the beginning?

pedro2··on Your phone may soon replace many of your passwords
Please don't. I saw Demolition Man.

Just let Password Managers do their job easily.

pedro2··on Bitwarden: Generate a Username
FYI SimpleLogin joined the Proton family
pedro2··on Bitwarden: Generate a Username
I also use Gandi somewhat, but beware Gandi doesn't allow catch-all. It does allow, however, wildcards in aliases, which allow a semi-catchall, since alias have to have a minimum of two characters besides the asterisk.
pedro2··on Grindr user data has been for sale for years
My point is, unless you are a lawyer, you can't trust anything they write about how they use your data -- they don't speak the same language as us.
pedro2··on Grindr user data has been for sale for years
Aurora Store allows to list the trackers embedded in apps you install.
pedro2··on Grindr user data has been for sale for years
It's worse. Google and friends don't sell your data either.

They just assign you to various buckets and then aggregate the information in those buckets to sell targeted advertising.

But they don't sell your data :)

At this time, it's best to assume apps with trackers embedded (you can check that with Aurora Store) sells data associated with you indirectly.

pedro2··on Historic fertilizer crunch threatens food security
God another doomsday scenario?

I'll take "ignore" for 50 please.

This only contributes for my anxiety levels. I'll outsource the worries for the big government, TYVM.

pedro2··on Scientific integrity and the ethics of 'utter honesty'
TL;DR. I support widespread scientific fraud, so the market can then save us.
pedro2··on An aberrant precision account of autism (2014)
Oh, an ESR follower. Kinda curious about how he is after the pandemic.
pedro2··on Deutsche Bank whistleblower found dead in LA's Lincoln Park
Clearly only a drug user would be insane to whistleblow these days.

Everyone else is just covering their own ass

Don't worry, markets solve everything :)

pedro2··on 10 years since Google said to “hang tight” about Linux support for Google Drive
They can mount GDriveFS internally as NFS, I think
pedro2··on De-AMP: Cutting out Google and enhancing privacy
thankfully it was replaced by ACPI
pedro2··on Ask HN: What Happened to Evernote?
Latest version has a closed beta Linux version.
pedro2··on Ask HN: What Happened to Evernote?
I periodically return to Evernote:

* Linux support (closed beta)

* tags! omg, I hate and love tags!

If you wish to hop on Microsoft land, Microsoft Todo and Onenote seems an adequate combo.

NOTE: blocking ads somehow blocked Onenote. Not sure which config I used, only that it was DNS, and wasn't able to replicate.

pedro2··on Ask HN: Have you invested in self-development and done inner work?
Inner work, to me, means increasing resilience by resolving or tuning open ended questions or behaviours to maximize our internal (usually unmet) needs.
pedro2··on Ask HN: Have you invested in self-development and done inner work?
That's a weird definition....
pedro2··on My Pinephone Setup
The PlayStore is now usable: I just needed to clear its cache.
pedro2··on Is the madness ever going to end?
I think this was posted less than 3 months ago.
pedro2··on Ask HN: Does anyone else think this 2FA everywhere is getting out of hand?
1Password and its opensource cousin supports 2FA tokens, including auto-fill.

Yes, makes no sense in terms of security (storing both on the same place) but hey, it's life.
