I support sexual assualt because I think associating all men with sexual assault is divisive? Eat shit and die.

Downvoted not because it isn't true, but because they aren't automatically mutually exclusive and because it is an unnecessary jab at half of the human species. Why are we paying attention to divisive bullshit instead of focusing on things that actually have the potential to help?

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn't been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don't have some level of confidence in that, I'd rather not rely on the tool.

This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn't being updated.

And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp's silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

I've used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I've never heard of them being "known for" the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I'd be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you're saying.

The only thing I thought was an error on the CEO's part (not regarding his views, just the way he handled himself) was the long followup email when the blog author said he wasn't interested in debating with him. That email should have been a blog post of its own if it was worth writing in the first place, imo.

About his views, though: I'm turned off by his lack of regard for user-supplied details as PII. For me to use a search engine that requires an account, and therefore associates all of my searches with me directly, I would need to be supremely confident that my information is in good hands. Otherwise, how am I better off than using any other search engine on the internet without an account?

I'm glad I read through this post, Kagi has been on my radar but I hadn't looked into it enough to decide if I might have any interest. Seems like the answer is, at least for now: no.

You are a fucking idiot

This is one of the first things addressed in the lecture.

Once they are cheaper and more durable I'll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn't been perfected yet, but that doesn't mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it

Yeah, this game makes it very satisfying once you have mastered movement. Lots of fun and unique.

They could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those "open" WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.

Works fine, I have two smart TVs I did that to.

 

No idea if this post will resonate at all, but I'll give it a shot.

I didn't want to drive, when I was younger. I made it to 20 without a license, using my bike as my main transportation and the bus for longer trips. Because society here in the USA does not accommodate that lifestyle in most places, including where I live, it was deeply limiting. So I got a car, and it unlocked far better options for me in every way - career, social opportunities, time saved. The downsides are obvious, and this community is acutely aware of them, so I won't belabor the point.

On an individual scale, the scale at which we live our lives, in many corners of the world it is just better, incredibly so, to own a car. Directing hostility at people for driving, even enjoying driving and the associated lifestyle is deeply counterproductive to any kind of progress. The voices speaking against the cause of walkable cities, better public transportation, aren't what the focus should be.

The focus should be on supporting any possible effort to open new, car-free lifestyle opportunities. Then new voices will emerge, describing the massive savings and freedom of not needing to own and operate an expensive, dangerous piece of machinery just to get groceries or go to work.

That is my two cents, as a person who drives to work, drives for work, and would love to both replace my commute with a better option and deal with less traffic doing my job, which is one of many that requires driving to transport people and materials throughout the day. You can find a lot more allies with a more positive and incremental approach, incubating awareness of a better path, or you can just be an annoying echo chamber.
