CommanderData··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
You will soon be viewed as a criminal if you run a custom ROM / flavour of Android.

What the fuck is happening to computing and our personal devices.

CommanderData··on 4chan will refuse to pay daily online safety fines, lawyer tells BBC
As well as SNI, most reverse proxies need to know which TLS cert to serve. Lower than layer 7.

CommanderData··on UK government states that 'safety' act is about influence over public discourse

I strongly suspect it's also meant to curtail growing support among youth for Palestine in the Israel/Gaza conflict.

Essentially creating an internet for children/teens that echos the government narrative.

CommanderData··on OpenFreeMap survived 100k requests per second
I love sites like wplace can still go viral and blow up, in a age of an increasingly centralised web. Woot
CommanderData··on Got tired of bad PDF WebApp so we made a Free, Open-Sourced, Private Alternative
Well done, hopefully gains traction. The alternative websites you talk about are an absolute nightmare to navigate only to find a suprise login or subscription.
CommanderData··on YouTube to be included in Australia's social media ban for children under 16
Kids are the the governments future canon fodder.

It IS a matter of national security if your nations children grow up and witness all the horrors it's government does abroad and heavens forbid grow anti government sentiment or opinions.

CommanderData··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
The response to bring the hostages home should be: Yes. Bring them back to Brooklyn NYC or wherever they're from.
CommanderData··on Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS – I say that's freedom
As long as the baseband is closed source, GrapheneOS is just a false sense of security.
CommanderData··on CBA hiring Indian ICT workers after firing Australians
Well there's enough Indians in India alone to replace all non Indian tech workers 3 to 1.
CommanderData··on CBA hiring Indian ICT workers after firing Australians
Not sure if sarcasm but let's just obliterate the west's middle class. I'm sure all will be fine.
CommanderData··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
Incredible.

Often desired something like this so thank you for making this happen.

CommanderData··on IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites
Clever piece of engineering that needs to be studied. The US and Israel setup a company/foundation to "distribute" aid. I guess to escape the accusations that they are systematically starving Gaza's population. It seems to be working, they can hide behind this while inflicting even more crimes against Palestinians.

I was going to ask if people really fall for this, but it seems like they do.

CommanderData··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Regime change is what the US and Israel has been doing for the last 40 years in the middle east.

That is literally the ultimate ambition of this war.

There's a long list of middle eastern countries where we've installed our stooges.

CommanderData··on Microsoft suspended the email account of an ICC prosecutor at The Hague
You think Europe would really behave any different?

Israel is the wedge and leverage to eliminating governments of Iran, Pakistan, China and then India and weakening Russia further.

Colonialism hasn't gone anywhere, evidence? Europe fully protects settlers and their ambitions despite what they say publicly. It is a long road but the most realistic one they have.

CommanderData··on Microsoft suspended the email account of an ICC prosecutor at The Hague
Because any US president is expendable if they don't comply.
CommanderData··on New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profiles
It's always been about Israel.

Everything from Tiktok bans to banning social media for teens. Who's going to fight US wars if your canon fodder witnessed Israel's inhumane behaviour as teens growing up. Nothing todo with China.

It's a national security threat alright.

CommanderData··on Iran's Internet Traffic Shows Sharp Drops During Recent Israel-Iran Conflict
Probably because the Israeli military said on social media they'll be targeting civilians in Tehran.
CommanderData··on Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices
Probably because it's fairly difficult to detect. I doubt the code imports backdoor.dll.

The UK now has laws to gag domestic companies and force them to implement backdoors.

CommanderData··on Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices
There's good reason to believe lots of western apps have back doors, if not backdoors served to countries like Iran from app stores.

Also car tech and cameras. Literally a wet dream if I worked at a three letter agency, real time surveillance of streets which is actually extremely difficult normally. Can't think of how many times I've wanted a recent picture of a street or house miles away, with 360 car cameras you can track people, see changes maybe from just minutes ago.

I don't know why these countries don't block or mandate these features are completely turned off.

CommanderData··on Good pixel art can be one-shotted by AI now
Call me when AI can do animated full pixel sunsets with moving clouds, birds a stream and make it look magical.

I still enjoy Reddits pixel art sub, and AI generated content doesn't come close.

CommanderData··on Windows 10 spies on your use of System Settings (2021)
I wish there was a law which mandated update, service and telemetry servers were on different cidrs.

There are frequently updates lists Windows telemetry IPs you can block using ipsets. But a Microsoft always seem to mix these IPs with legitimate services.

CommanderData··on Autonomous drone defeats human champions in racing first
Not entirely, I think western powers had much more involvement then you have summarized.

Destabilising a country, causing military coups, arming rebel forces all play a part.

CommanderData··on Autonomous drone defeats human champions in racing first
The asylum seeker comparison is interesting.

While I want to reduce the number, I can't but help think how we essentially create them in the first place by destroying the countries which create the economic conditions they flee from.

CommanderData··on VC money is fueling a global boom in worker surveillance tech
Government legislation.

CommanderData··on Wikipedia’s nonprofit status questioned by D.C. U.S. attorney
Similar to TikTok, ADL were effectively banned from Wikipedia.

This coincidences nicely with all of this.

CommanderData··on Getting Forked by Microsoft
That's why you release projects like these under restrictive licences.

Far too many times big company's take what they choose and give you nothing. Use licenses for your advantage, heck dual license if needed. Not sure what the desire is of a Eutopia open source world view, where not everyone has the vision or plays by the rules anyway.

CommanderData··on TLS certificate lifetimes will officially reduce to 47 days
Why bother with such a long staggered approach?

There should be 1 change from 365 to 47 days. This industry doesnt need constant changes, which will force everyone to automating renewals anyway.

CommanderData··on Ask HN: What Problem Would You Solve with Unlimited Time and Money? [Apr 2025]
Hearing disability and Tinnitus. These two are very likely to affect most of us as we age.

From my research of the companies in this space there just isn't enough money being spent in these areas. I think funding the right players we could make some major breakthroughs and see treatments within our lifetimes perhaps even in the next decade.
