tpush··on Google is about to make life more difficult for custom ROM fans
This is a total nothing burger with a terrible headline.

Google is just deprecating AOSP Apps that neither them nor anyone else is using.

There are plenty of better FOSS alternatives than what's in AOSP.

tpush··on I'm Done with Red Hat (Enterprise Linux)
And another comment section full of people who don't understand the GPL but are very confident about their wrong takes.
tpush··on My 24 year old HP Jornada can do things an iPhone still can't do
I don't understand why your particular experience matters in this argument.

There are billions of people using Android phones, from little kids to grandmas. Essentially none of these people know what the word sysadmin even means.

Why do some people on HN portray Android phones as some nerdy devices when that impression doesn't reflect reality even a little bit? So weird.

tpush··on My 24 year old HP Jornada can do things an iPhone still can't do
What? You don't need to sysadmin an Android phone anymore than an iphone while still being able to install anything you want to.
tpush··on Health officials delayed report linking fluoride to brain harm
Salt is definitely commonly supplemented with fluoride, say least in Germany.
tpush··on Hippo Meat Nearly Became an American Food Staple
> Eskimos eat pure meat and fat from these animals and they never get heart disease..

That is probably more of a myth than anything [0].

"The evidence for a low mortality from IHD among the Inuit is fragile and rests on unreliable mortality statistics. Mortality from stroke, however, is higher among the Inuit than among other western populations."

tpush··on Milk, cheese and ice cream without the cow has entered the marketplace
Health wise margarine's much better for you than butter, that's pretty uncontroversial. Partially hydrogenated margarines contain trans fats which are terrible for you, but they've been off the shelves for literal decades now.
tpush··on Catholic group spent millions on app data that tracked gay priests
> And those are cheered on because those codes are fashionable.

Which ones?

tpush··on Room-temperature superconductor discovery meets with resistance
The consequences of allowing that is seen in the other responses to the GP: lots of useless fluff comments.

So yes, please leave that stuff on reddit.

tpush··on Fake sugars sneak into foods and disrupt metabolic health
To dampen the media and consequent HN frenzy, here's [0] a substantive analysis on the recent Erythritol paper and why people should be cautious of some of the headlines run by the media.

tpush··on Valent Is a KDE Connect Client for GTK-Based Desktops
What kind of weird question is that? They're different things, obviously not everyone is going to like the same thing.
tpush··on Show HN: LeanCreator – a stripped-down QtCreator for C/C++, LeanQt and BUSY
What's the best mobile app made with Qt?
tpush··on SEC charges the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
> If I get pulled over in a Bentley with an expired sticker, I pay the same price as someone in a Kia.

In the US, sure. The people advocating for a proportional fine in the LDS case presumably would argue for a proportional one in your example, too.

tpush··on AI won’t make artists redundant – thanks to information theory
What is "actual value"?
tpush··on Re-License Vaultwarden to AGPLv3
Well, the point is that you can make almost every library a network service if your want to.

Anytime a vendor sees a GPL3 library, all they have to do is make a network service out of it and the GPL3 license is powerless.

So AGPL3 as the default for strong copyleft software seems reasonable.

tpush··on I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle
Wow, this and your other comments on this thread are disgusting.

This whole article's comment section is truly fucking awful.

tpush··on The <Dialog> Element
If you're developing a desktop browser app for a non-English speaking market, you can ignore Safari oftentimes.

E.g. in Germany desktop Firefox has roughly double the market share of Safari.

tpush··on An Introduction to Class Warfare for the Software Engineer
Walter Bright, you're a callous fuckstick.
tpush··on The Samsung Galaxy S23’s bloated Android build somehow uses 60GB of storage
You can't uninstall apps contained in the OS image; you're just hiding them. Applies to Android as much as iOS and macOS, too, for that matter.
tpush··on Do we live in a society without a counterculture?
> [...] LGBTQIA+#[}! nonsense [...]

Come on, do we need this here?

tpush··on Plant-based meat is turning out to be a flop
Thanks for the correction!
tpush··on Plant-based meat is turning out to be a flop
Avoiding "seed oils" is a mania made up by internet grifters; if you cared about science you'd want to replace animal fats with (non-tropic) vegetable oils!
tpush··on Plant-based meat is turning out to be a flop
Meat sausages and cold cuts are processed as well. And are likely made with carcinogenic preservatives!

Edit: cancerous -> carcinogenic

tpush··on Crime App 'Citizen' Lays Off Dozens of Employees
How in the hell is the CEO not in prison??
tpush··on Safari is released to the world (2013)
Nonsense, IE wasn't IE because it did support open standards before everybody else.
tpush··on Switzerland: snow flown in by helicopter in attempt to keep ski slopes open
You can care about what you want, it's just that most people do care (because of their children etc.)
tpush··on Switzerland: snow flown in by helicopter in attempt to keep ski slopes open
> At what point does human enjoyment become waste of energy?

At the point it causes eventual human extinction.

tpush··on GitHub is sued, and we may learn something about Creative Commons licensing
I mean, yeah.
tpush··on Meta prohibited from using personal data for advertisement
If you enjoy targeted advertisement you can freely consent to companies tracking you. This is fundamentally about consent and how it's given, not targeted advertisement per se.
tpush··on MSVC: The Devourer of Const
Might get removed in the future [0], though!
