pennaMan··on Parler Tricks: Making Software Disappear
>Does your web browser do that, or do your apps do that?

On Android, both web apps and native apps do that. iOS only allows Safari that conveniently does not implement web push notifications, thus keeping a very wide spectrum of apps away from the open web and inside their app garden.

pennaMan··on Building all of our new mobile apps using React Native
Apple will never give in and implement webpush on mobile safari because that would affect their precious app store. How will they extort developers then? That's also the reason mobile safari is so limited in other features.
pennaMan··on Is the Netherlands becoming a narco-state?
And sunlight.
pennaMan··on Pascal's Mugging (2009) [pdf]
I have noticed this pattern before: Someone mentions a topic deep inside a thread on HN and next thing you know that topic is on the front page.

pennaMan··on BlizzCon 2019 Protest “Full-Steam Ahead,” Say Organizers

That's the standard Blizzard MO in everything from business decisions to gameplay patches in all their games.

apple's scotsman is not true either: https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid
pennaMan··on Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone
I'm sure you can produce a hash from fingerprint model data for your reading pleasure
pennaMan··on Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone
Last time I checked the OS actively warns you that a strong password is the only way to actually secure your device. Face unlocks and fingerprint sensors are really just gimmicks, that's why android will sometimes prompt for the full password based on some heuristics.
pennaMan··on Still Manufacturing Consent: An Interview with Noam Chomsky
Online payments and video streaming were first used overwhelmingly in porn
pennaMan··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
How is that centralization? Is twitter the only platform for politicians to talk to the internet?

And a funny thought just popped: Calling a person a "world leader" - that's scary centralization right there.

pennaMan··on “My Google account got suspended because of NewPipe”
I maintain and use my own private android app that only plays the audio stream from youtube via youtubedl. I openly refer to that as pirating.

Does NewPipe circumvent the YT ToS in any way? Then it's pirating.

Please don't bend reality to align with your morals. Bend your morals instead :)

pennaMan··on “My Google account got suspended because of NewPipe”
Absolutely no proof provided, N=1 for popular youtube pirating app. HN bullshit sense seems to be turned off completely when Google is accused of something bad.
pennaMan··on Turkey has begun attacking Syria
How about breeding a brand new generation of people who have good reason to deeply hate the US? Does that directly affect you?
pennaMan··on Turkey has begun attacking Syria
Before Twitter those political leaders would just privately have a laugh about the genocide they just green lighted over a glass of scotch.
pennaMan··on India bans e-cigarettes, citing youth health concerns
Funny how quickly the media disinformation outburst about those illicit vape products convinced the public conscious that there is suddenly massive evidence of general vaping long term effects.
pennaMan··on Has SHA-256 been broken?
Did they pinky promise too?
pennaMan··on Why has examine.com disappeared from search results?
I went in with high hopes of quality resources but I was met with one of those guide selling sites. I never knew exactly what it was trying to sell me either.
pennaMan··on Taleb is wrong about IQ
That's because he tends to go after things that are widely misunderstood in the first place.
pennaMan··on Twitter was down
>July 11, 2019 7:56PM UTC[Identified] The outage was due to an internal configuration change, which we're now fixing. Some people may be able to access Twitter again and we're working to make sure Twitter is available to everyone as quickly as possible.

Seems #4 is the winner

I'm wondering how long until poker games will require a captcha on every round
pennaMan··on First fine for the application of GDPR Article 25 in Romania
Having a lot of experience with Romanian authorities, that's a resounding no. You can be sure a reasonably powerful political player pulled the strings on this.
