Im confused, are you saying that you think building a method for anyone to break/brute the ransomeware is bad?
w-ll··on Micro keypad to do your regular Git push/pull/add/commit actions
I already have tons of aliases for git, One of my fav's when I developed on a Mac was to also take a photo every time I pushed. I forgot about it for about a year, going into that archive was hilarious.

w-ll··on Palantir Drops 10% on Report of Pentagon Slashing Budget
So you agree, they can say "no more elections."?

Also, as a point, I wasnt saying there would NOT be elections, but if they were fair and not banana republic elections.

w-ll··on Palantir Drops 10% on Report of Pentagon Slashing Budget
Back during my high school civics class I would believe that.

But headlines such as "Trump signs order declaring only president and AG can interpret US law for executive branch"

Make me wonder.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

w-ll··on Palantir Drops 10% on Report of Pentagon Slashing Budget
You think we are gonna have fair elections in 4 years?

- You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore..."

w-ll··on Launch HN: A0.dev (YC W25) – React Native App Generator
I've been out the mobile work for a while, but looking for a cross platform eco, ive spent time in a lot of stuff, from react, to unity, xmarian, and uno, all these with a c# backend. But once I found dart/flutter it was a game changer. I stil like my JS/TS, I still love c#, dart is interesting, but their cross platform workflow is imho the best.

I love GitS, but is this post just blog spam?

w-ll··on Show HN: Velvet – Store OpenAI requests in your own DB
Recently did this workflow.

Started with nginx proxy with rules to cache base on url/params. Wanted more control over it and explored lua/redis apis, and opted to build a app to do be a little more smart for what i wanted. Extra ec2 cost is negligible compared to cache savings.

w-ll··on Super Useful Chrome Plugins for Front-End Developers
what lol? $100 bucks for a custom inspector that can copy the compiled css?
w-ll··on Lazarus Group laundered $200M from 25 crypto hacks to fiat
You think they are doing this from NK ip blocks/asn? Their physical links are more or less enemy of enemy with US, so they have no incentive to block. Its impossible to keep them off the internet.

Can someone make this as a Cities: Skylines mod?

w-ll··on Notes on Buttondown.com
imma be honest, if i get a email that comes from a buttondown.com server, for something i have never signed up for, im gonna mark as spam... email is hard, and it seams every time a new sender service pops up, It seems to get a lot of bad actors.

Your homepage says "and our spam protection is best-in-class." is that for your client inbox, or mine?

w-ll··on iPhone SE 4 due in early 2025 with OLED and Apple Intelligence
I know a lot of people and even Apple seem to think of the SE as "low cost" option. But honestly for me its the size. No phone needs to be bigger than the SE. I get that the phone market is over and so Apple needs to make money with other services, streaming video, games etc and people who do that on their phone want bigger phones. But i just need something for calls/txt/music/ the occasionally maps or web search.

w-ll··on Crooks Bypassed Google's Email Verification to Create Workspace Accounts, Acces
