Crontab··on YouTubers are unionizing, and the site has 24 days to respond
They're not and I predict this will not get them what they want.
Crontab··on YouTube faces creator backlash
The copyright problem isn't just on Google's end - copyright complaints should be required to be human generated as well. Otherwise anyone can be de-platformed/DDOS someone with bogus automated copyright complaints.

> they just need to bite the bullet and hire a whole bunch of people.

This issue is not specific to Youtube but to all platforms where users can post. I don't see how Facebook or Twitter or Reddit can hire enough people to review their communities.

Crontab··on GitLab – A $1B business where all employees work remotely
The only one I know of is the military.
Crontab··on Ask HN: What are some terminal tricks you wish you knew sooner?
The CTRL-U was one I just recently learned and it has been surprisingly helpful.
Crontab··on Kuo: Apple to include new scissor switch keyboard in MacBook
I disagree. I love the Magsafe adapter on my mid-2013 Macbook Air.

> And if the cable gets torn, I can just plug in another.

Personally, I am less concerned with the cable than I am for the power socket on the laptop, which if damaged could require replacing the whole motherboard.

Crontab··on Florida couple wins the right to plant veggies in front yard
> We got a letter from the neighborhood saying the laundry was unsightly.

Florida actually has a law for that too - which disallows HOAs from banning them.

Crontab··on An Initial Look at the IBM POWER9 4c/16t CPU Performance on the Blackbird
> But I'm disappointed that the Blackbird wasn't at a lower price point

This sentiment is why I believe open systems, like the Raptor or RISC-V, are doomed to never become truly popular. There are too many people more concerned with cost and/or performance than freedom.

Crontab··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
That's like groundhog day.
Crontab··on Google exec responds to Project Veritas video about bias
Reminds me of the Planned Parenthood hatchet job.
Crontab··on Pock: Display macOS Dock in Touch Bar
That's correct. I am currently considering upgrading from my 13" 2013 Macbook Air to a 15" 2019 Macbook Pro (I want it for the IPS/bigger display) and I noticed this while I was testing it at Bestbuy.

Personally, if I make the purchase, I will probably just remap the Caps Lock key to ESC - assuming I can remove ESC from the Touch Bar.

The one thing I didn't care for is that the Touch Bar display can time out. I would personally prefer that it stay on - or at least have the option of it staying on.

Crontab··on Did blind orchestra auditions benefit women?
In my opinion one should be seeking to hire the best person for the job every single time regardless of the person's race or gender. But I also believe that considering diversity needs is fair when tie-breaking between equally qualified candidates.
Crontab··on What to Expect from Marzipan
Does anyone know if Marzipan applications can be distributed outside of the Apple store?
Crontab··on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 released
I agree with this. My personal opinion is that advanced scripting languages, outside of shells, shouldn't be installed by default.

(Of course, this usually gets killed pretty quickly, as dependency hell quickly brings in advanced scripting languages.)

Crontab··on Firefox 66.0.4 is out, fixes disabled add-ons
That's not enough. Opt-out features are wrong because organizations/companies know that most people won't pay attention or not fully appreciate the dangers of it.
Crontab··on Tracking Phones, Google Is a Dragnet for the Police
Orwell never guessed that the government could outsource our dystopian nightmare to corporations.
Crontab··on VSCodium – An Open Source Visual Studio Code Without Trackers
Yes it is - tracking that you have to opt-out of is evil (regardless of how well intentioned the tracking is).
Crontab··on Brazil: Judge rules identical twins must both pay support for nine-year-old girl
Ridiculous.
Crontab··on Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Passwords
"They trust me — dumb fucks" ~ Mark Zuckerberg
Crontab··on Microsoft announces will shut down eBook program, confiscate customer libraries
I am going to disagree with you where pure steaming services like Netflix and Spotify are concerned. Everyone understands they are just renting access. But otherwise I totally agree with you.
Crontab··on Call for testing: OpenSSH 8.0
No, it is in the base of the system. I just did an install of the base system and it is there.
Crontab··on Call for testing: OpenSSH 8.0
Dragonfly has git in base so that, in and of itself, is not the reason why.
Crontab··on Twitter forces all new users to enter a valid phone number
> Twitter forces all new users to enter a valid phone number

Fuck. That.

Crontab··on Dataforge UUCP
Also worth checking the Dataforge UUCP site list.

Crontab··on Pretty PuTTY – Better PuTTY Settings
I don’t have a problem with Solarized but I prefer a simple green on black scheme.
Crontab··on Apple updates its iMac line
I have to say that I agree with you - this makes no sense.
Crontab··on Apple updates its iMac line
The Apple support document[1] makes it sound like it can be upgraded, just not by an end user. Is that what you meant?

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201191#note

Crontab··on Apple updates its iMac line
I like Apple's current lineup but I do think they have lost a certain segment of users: people who don't care about appearance or thinness and just want a modestly priced, upgradeable box.
Crontab··on Spotify responds to Apple, calling it a ‘monopolist’
I am a paid Spotify subscriber but I am not buying their arguments about Apple. Still, they are complaining to the EU, where some pretty brain-dead tech decisions have been made lately.
Crontab··on Facebook’s Data Deals Are Under Criminal Investigation
Referring to Facebook users as customers is quaint.
Crontab··on Ask HN: Has anyone successfully been able to completely quit using Google?
I recently started using youtube-dl and it is an incredible tool. Also, despite its name, it works on lots of sites.
