vadfa··on “Risc V greatly underperforms”
So when h266 or whatever comes out you can't watch video anymore because your cpu can't decode it in software even if it tried?
vadfa··on Omicron Time
What if that new variant is also engineered?
vadfa··on Vivaldi Browser 5.0
Exactly what I was going to ask. They wrote the UI in javascript with obvious consequences. The day they rewrite it in a normal language they will see me again.
vadfa··on 100 years of whatever this will be
It makes sense since there aren't enough houses for all the people who want to live in an area.
vadfa··on Microsoft’s new Windows prompts try to stop people downloading Chrome

vadfa··on Missouri found mask mandates work, but didn’t make findings public
That is not necessary because I'm forced to wear a mask. If we are forced to wear masks, it's because masks work. Right?

On the other hand, I fell ill for an entire day after taking the second dose, and I refuse to go through that again.

vadfa··on Missouri found mask mandates work, but didn’t make findings public
Masks work. I don't dispute that. I just don't want to wear one for the rest of my life. I don't want my government telling me what to wear.

I got vaccinated months ago because I thought that would be the end of masks. That was the entire point of vaccinating: not needing a mask because the virus could do nothing to you. The vaccination rate in my country is almost 80% and we still have a mask mandate. I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask.

vadfa··on Twitter photo-removal policy aimed at improving privacy goes into effect
We already have laws against violence.
vadfa··on Twitter photo-removal policy aimed at improving privacy goes into effect
That is a good idea, it is what I did. I don't visit any social networks, I don't read the news, and I stop talking to those who send me information that I'm not interested in.
vadfa··on Twitter photo-removal policy aimed at improving privacy goes into effect
So impeding the speech of two people is a better outcome than impeding the speech of none? I don't get it.

>the situation in America where everyone is a fucking edgelord in their spare time

So don't read them, as easy as that.

vadfa··on Twitter photo-removal policy aimed at improving privacy goes into effect
Yeah, Germany has the best laws regarding speech: https://www.courthousenews.com/german-nationalist-wins-injun...
vadfa··on Google removes Pirate Bay domains from search results citing Dutch court order
There is a difference between having a set of rules and doing ad hoc moderation.
vadfa··on Steve Simon announces WTA’s decision to suspend tournaments in China
Women also have advantages in some other regards. I think it overall evens out.
vadfa··on Instagram Is Facebook Now
I don't see the difference between the algorithm putting those posts in your feed and putting ads. They are both unwanted content.
vadfa··on Pixel sent to Google for replacement. They used it to post wife's nudes online
>Look, face it, some people like taking nude photos of themselves and they like sharing them with their partners.

Look, face it, actions have consequences.

vadfa··on Ask HN: What are these low quality “code snippet” sites?
Is it legally a good idea for Google to go and blacklist individual sites?
vadfa··on Price increase on .io domains on January 1, 2022 (Renewal: $55.00)
Discord couldn't afford to buy discord.com, so they bought discordapp.com. They didn't think of buying discord.io or discord.app or some crap like that.
vadfa··on Price increase on .io domains on January 1, 2022 (Renewal: $55.00)
>different pricing

.com is the cheapest

>different restrictions

.com has the fewest

Anything else?

vadfa··on FBI's ability to legally access secure messaging app content and metadata [pdf]
Of course they store your messages forever... They've kept all of my messages for over 7 years now.
vadfa··on Price increase on .io domains on January 1, 2022 (Renewal: $55.00)
The stupidity of thinking what "the best TLD for your startup" is.

In the meantime all respectable startups and big companies use .com like normal people.

vadfa··on FBI's ability to legally access secure messaging app content and metadata [pdf]
If you really think that kind of shit will float...
vadfa··on FBI's ability to legally access secure messaging app content and metadata [pdf]
That is correct. By default all messages sent over Telegram are stored permanently in their servers unencrypted.
vadfa··on Every pricing page should have GIFs
Navigating on mobile is something you do on the go, when there are no other options. Of course it's going to be a downgraded experience.
vadfa··on US labor board official orders Amazon to redo union vote at Alabama warehouse
Both sides engage in the same information war.
vadfa··on Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
You can do that but they will eventually add a new ad.

One day they added a small widget to buy crypto in the new tab page. That was the breaking point for me. Like it happened with Firefox ads, I started to understand that Brave was working against me too.

vadfa··on German coalition treaty endorses “Public Money, Public Code” principle
"Public money, public code for every other government to grab without having to pay for it"
vadfa··on I resigned from Twitter
Seems you are a liberal according to your twitter profile. This is not a dig, just saying, your experience on that platform is not the same as everybody else's, which is why I found your whole message a bit surprising.
vadfa··on CPython's main branch running in the browser with WebAssembly
Why would you want such a fast language to be replaced by what is the slowest of the mainstream languages?
vadfa··on Two Norwegian journalists arrested after interviewing Qatar World Cup Manager
>from ordinary everyday corruption to cartoonish super-corruption

Got that reference!

vadfa··on In major shift, EU says vaccine boosters should be considered for all adults
>You’re just wrong about this. In cities like Seattle and Portland, life is pretty much “back to normal.” As a result, people are interacting with each other and “spreading germs” around like they used to be. Without a vaccine, this kind of behavior would have caused a huge spike in severe cases.

Oh, I've heard of so many cities/communities like these. Tell me in a few months.
