preciousoo··on Show HN: Welcome, Cot: the Rust web framework for lazy developers
That’s up to each user, no?
preciousoo··on WikiTok
I remember seeing that tweet, I thought it was the craziest coincidence ever when I saw this on the front page. I guess it’s not haha
preciousoo··on Everyone knows your location: tracking myself down through in-app ads
What a comment! Do you use Twitter a lot, by any chance?

preciousoo··on Show HN: I made an open source directory of where to showoff your projects
Same, but I’m also scared of us nerds joining and telling them to just self compile/host/deploy/whatever
preciousoo··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
My god, in this thread you can tell who actually used TikTok and who only read about it
preciousoo··on The Origins of Wokeness
Im not expecting him to dive into the history, but a brief mention that isn't 'it used to mean something else' would suffice. Either way that isn't the greatest sin(lol) of the essay, just a nit at this point
preciousoo··on The Origins of Wokeness
He doesn’t even attempt to touch on the actual origins in the essay however. There are a lot of loose ends in it and this is a glaring one.

He also uses “political correctness”, which is a more precise way to describe the phenomenon he talks about. But that buzzword died a long time ago, so “the origins of woke” without actually touching on the origin of “woke” will do.

preciousoo··on The Origins of Wokeness
It is actually insane how far I had to scroll to see the first comment mentioning this. He has merits in his comparison to religion but this essay is a huge miss.

Edit: in this thread, the actual origin of “woke” is only mentioned 3 times, the thread has 1942 comments as I type

preciousoo··on Backdooring Your Backdoors – Another $20 Domain, More Governments
I’m sure the NSA does their best to make sure the US doesn’t politically fuck that up
preciousoo··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
H1 Visa has existed since 1952. The 65,000 per year cap (H1B) has existed since 1990. The 20,000 quota for Masters/PhD holders has existed since 2004.

What in the world are you talking about?

We nerds are never going to beat the allegations, are we?
preciousoo··on Judge refuses to allow sale of Infowars to The Onion
I emphasized that it wasn’t just over words said, but the frequency of, audience size, and actual real world harm that’s taken place as a result. And as other commenters have pointed out, he acted in contempt of the court on several occasions
preciousoo··on Bankruptcy judge rejects sale of Infowars to The Onion
How about in a case where libel was relentlessly thrown at families over the course of years, on one of the internets largest and most engaged audiences, leading to harassment, threats, and assault? What should the judgment be for that?
preciousoo··on TikTok divestment law upheld by federal appeals court
Network effects of TT are stronger than anything that's ever come before it. Come to think of it, there any publicly tradable VPN companies?
preciousoo··on Ask HN: Open-Source SwiftUI Apps?
A 5 min scan has already been beneficial to me. Thanks for this!
preciousoo··on Ask HN: Open-Source SwiftUI Apps?

preciousoo··on IMG_0001
It feels too intimate, I had to close it. Cool concept though
preciousoo··on Dell is posting unsigned updates to their website which fail to install
The original “tweet” didn’t attempt to infer reason or assign blame though. All it did is state two facts, according to their system
preciousoo··on This website is hosted on Bluesky
It’s not possible for me, a non Google employee to create a file that’s hosted on Google.com, or any Google domain and have it read in the browser as text/html, bypassing many a firewall, for example
preciousoo··on Private School Labeler on Bluesky
Could this be worked around to add private notes to people’s profiles? My fav feature on RES was the ability to “tag” accounts on Reddit
preciousoo··on Apple fights to keep DOJ antitrust suit from reaching trial
I agree with you for the most part but is all this necessary?

Haha I tried the “I solve the case” as the first thing, didn’t think to do it 5 more times though
preciousoo··on You Exist in the Long Context
Now this is a cool hack lol
