rilindo··on Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
As an aside, this is the first I heard about [tech houses](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/technology/agi-house-ai-c...). So far, they don't. . . sound great.
rilindo··on Supreme Court upholds broad conception of birthright citizenship
Most countries with a standard of living that even barely better than their neighbors have an immigration problem. There is a whole continent call Europe that is fighting off migrates and last I checked, birthright citizenship is not a thing there.
rilindo··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
And eggs! Don't forget about the eggs!
rilindo··on BYD is seeing a flood of new EV buyers
It is worse than that. Companies are killing their EV models and discontinuing [sedans](https://www.autoblog.com/features/these-automakers-no-longer...) in favor of trucks and SUVs.

<nevermind, I see the filter for size>
rilindo··on Notice of collective action lawsuit against Workday, Inc.
> Fundamental fairness requires that if an automated system denies you a loan, a house, or a job, it be able to explain something you can challenge, fix, or at least understand.

rilindo··on Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
Related, somewhat, but I am moving away from Microsoft Office and to Apple's Pages/Numbers/Keynote/FreeForm, mostly because they are free and they are good enough.
rilindo··on Remembering Lou Gerstner
I got complicated feelings about that. He did help pave the way for Linux, but he also killed OS/2.
rilindo··on Debian's Git Transition
I always thought that Debian is already on git, so this confused me. How is source control currently (or was) done with the Debian project?
rilindo··on Postfix Macros and Let Place
This feel suspiciously like the sendmail-fiction of postfix. I don't know if that is a good thing.

EDIT: Not really, but it still feels like adding unneeded

rilindo··on Carrier Landing in Top Gun for the NES
Archer? Is that you?
rilindo··on Gundam is just the same as Jane Austen but happens to include giant mech suits
Where is my janpla model kits, then?

Person probably issued Apple laptops from work, which, funny enough is probably why they get performance issues, as work is going to drop in the usual CPU killing anti-virus and other corporate tooling.
rilindo··on Ask HN: What are people doing to get off of VMware?
Can you explain why I shouldn't use OpenShift?

Where will the money and resources to develop AWS AI come from? Not from Incident Manager, that is for certain.
rilindo··on This map is not upside down
I can see Marley and Paradis!

All that is left is to have law-enforcement round up homeless/unhoused person move them into those camps and we will officially be in the Star Trek timeline.

We can be certain for one thing in the movie: Somebody is going to die from dysentery.

rilindo··on IBM nearing a buyout deal for HashiCorp, source says
I know at least one person who left Red Hat for HashiCorp. I could imagine how they feel to be back(ish)
rilindo··on How did customer service get so bad?
The funny thing is that these days, people are paying more (thanks to inflation) for products and services while customer care is getting worse.
rilindo··on 'Vaccine lettuce' bill (food containing a vaccine is a drug) passes in Tennessee
I am certain that this is going to eliminate most beef and poultry products. The meat-industrial-complex will not be pleased.
