  • FBI Wants Access To Encrypted iPhone And Android Data—So Does Europe

    Jump

  • A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

  • Locked

    Vibe Coders might be serious, but I cannot take them seriously, especially when they say "It is a must-have skill".

  • I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there'll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

    But your thing seems more likely.

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

    Jump

  • I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it'll be a tiny fraction.

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

    Jump

  • This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.

  • not easy to quit Amazon completely

    Jump

  • I ordered something from ebay recently and it came from amazon. I think the seller just ordered from amazon for me 😒

  • ICE Retaliation

    Jump

  • This is the same in UK. There are people who believe that illegal immigration is the reason rents are high and jobs are hard to get and also they're all on benefits. It's illegal to rent to or employ an illegal immigrant and I'm not sure how they are supposed to apply for benefits as an illegal immigrant but the narrative persists. Legal immigrants here have zero access to any benefits at all.

    But, obviously it is all their fault and not those illegally employing and housing them.

  • Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money

    Jump

  • We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn't need anything expensive before June. He's has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.

  • 2024: Europe wants you to travel by train. But why is it so complex and expensive?

    Jump

  • Takes longer to get in and out the airport. I bet there's not much in it overall

  • Deleted

  • I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn't going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn't calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

    I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

    Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank's security we called it bank robbery, but now it's called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

  • Tradeoffs

    Jump

  • It's taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I'm coming around to where it fits.

    Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

  • Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy

    Jump

  • The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It's got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It's a very nice park. Always busy.

    The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

  • UK: Rooftop solar could reduce energy bill for the country's poorest families by almost a quarter, study says

    Jump

  • It's not really an option for renters, tenants aren't going to pay for solar panels on someone else's house and landlords wouldn't get any benefit.

    I'd rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

  • Privately Share Photo Albums?

    Jump

  • Another one for immich but I'm also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn't public.

  • Google offering ‘voluntary exit’ for employees working on Pixel, Android

    Jump

  • My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

    I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

  • Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • Since before bitcoin we've had Faster Payments in UK. I can transfer money directly to anyone else's bank account and it's effectively instant. It's also free. Venmo and cashapp don't serve a purpose here.

  • First world problems

    Jump

  • US and allies were first world, Soviets and allies were the second world, everyone else was third world.

  • Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"

    Jump

  • Share specific examples of software built from source works better for you than packages or pre-built binaries

    Jump

  • I love this about Nix. Had a case this year where I'd hit a bug in the upstream, I fixed it and submitted a PR but then could reference that PR directly for the patch file until a new release finally made it out.

  • It's truly traumatizing for a family-friendly movie

    Jump

  • I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

    I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn't bawling in pain so he didn't know anything was wrong.

    Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.
