fzfaaon Lofi Girl joins Rumble after YouTube’s poor handling of copyright strikes

fzfaaon German digital signage ban prompts confusion

Saving energy means stopping growth. The West stopping growth while China, India, etc. grow uncontrollably because they don't give a crap about the stupid climate plight will be our downfall.

Because it's done in the name of energy savings and the only reason that we all have to save energy is so the political elites of the West can play Risk against Russia.

The normalisation of poverty in Europe would much funnier so watch if I didn't live here.

fzfaaon Protonmail Recommended Browsers

You guys will eventually have to get over that old "blink is chrome" trope. The world has moved on. It's time that you do.

>Honestly, as much as AMD's processors are often great value for money, I have never had a completely stable glitch-free AMD system.

If they are glitchy how can they be great value?

I've had the same experience over the past decades - I will never be buying AMD again.

fzfaaon Things people blamed on bicycles

When driving, cyclists are dangerous for themselves and for others.

When walking, cyclists have absolutely no regard for my physical safety. When I lived in a city with a lot of cyclists I ended up developing some kind of fear that made me look around all the time because of how many cyclists had almost killed me when I was peacefully walking along the pavement.

Oh god how I hate cyclists.

Of course: those who move north do so because they do not share the cultural shortcomings of the south. Therefore they are self-selecting.

fzfaaon Apple expands Self Service Repair to Mac notebooks

Apple is doing this to placate regulators. I want them to succeed because I don't want regulators dictating how the devices I buy, from Apple or otherwise, should be. Apple is fighting by my side.

I am from the south. We are wasting money and producing too little. We don't have the massive wealth of the north because we are culturally incapable of behaving some other way.

fzfaaon Euro falls below parity with the dollar

It's time to inflict massive pain for the south. Can't spend any more decades wasting money.

fzfaaon Euro falls below parity with the dollar

This is good for the European countries that export things, and bad for those who don't.

fzfaaon Tell HN: Google Intercepting SMS

The fact that it's an open protocol doesn't mean that it's okay to opt you into it without your permission.

fzfaaon The Merge

afaik the solution that has to be "guessed" is not random. We just don't know how to get to it without brute force.

I didn't know that I needed this.

fzfaaon Unconscious bias in media interviews with female top managers

fzfaaon App Store doesn't accept “too simple” apps

You already knew what you were getting into when you bought it, and Apple is far from having a monopoly.

fzfaaon App Store doesn't accept “too simple” apps

Create an app with complex filters and social shit and make the app hit an HTTP endpoint to see if they should be enabled on startup. Once the app is accepted into the store, hide the stupid features remotely. :-)

fzfaaon Removing HTTP/2 Server Push from Chrome

> How the server can know if user wants dark mode or light mode CSS file?

Cookies? Custom header?

Because people write code in terribly slow languages so they would have to have many more servers which is more expensive if they used server-side rendering.
