kingspact··on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
You could even mail it to somebody and when they open the mail, BAM. Or it could be included in the glue of business reply mail. Or wiped on your doorknob.
kingspact··on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
People who deface art in museums should have their citizenship stripped and be banished for life, at a bare minimum. The JUST STOP OIL billionaire woman's a heavy investor in the Chinese lithium sector.

Boeing's on military welfare, like many companies. It has no need to actually produce civilian planes or make profits any more. So why not bump off whistleblowers? Anyway the era of air travel for the masses is coming to a close if you look at all the different plans being hatched to roll up environmental fees into flying which are designed to be unaffordable for ordinary people.
kingspact··on Ask HN: Modern day equivalent to HyperCard?
No, not at all. Nothing with the system integration Hypercard had on the Mac and IIgs. It's pretty shitty that they took Hypercard and BASIC from the people. But we wouldn't have all these trillion dollar software companies these days if the user-developer had remained the core of computing.

What is it? Cloudflare's "protection" has blocked me from being able to see half the Internet lately.
kingspact··on The LaserDisc
Your same uncle who survived Sandy Hook and 911?

I see bots still posting this comment on every platform when optical media comes up. Disc rot is extremely rare and only happens with discs which had manufacturing defects. I have HUNDREDS of Laserdiscs and HUNDREDS more CDs. The only ones which rotted is Alien, which had a known manufacturing defect.

GIDF right on cue, sir.

Tough beans, wontfix
kingspact··on Electromigration Concerns Grow in Advanced Packages
Sandy Bridge = never obsolete.
kingspact··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Linux is dead lol.
kingspact··on Retroactive hate crime bill in Canada [Online Harms Bill C-63]
This even extends to "hate" that people unrelated to you, who have a vaguely similar skin tone committed. Or surely must have.
kingspact··on Intel used to dominate the U.S. chip industry, now struggling to stay relevant
Intel's dropping x86, and moving all to amd64 with UEFI, that's just as bad.
kingspact··on Arcan (alternative to X11, Wayland)
Logo's off-putting, seems that way on purpose.
kingspact··on Intel used to dominate the U.S. chip industry, now struggling to stay relevant
>RISC-V OEM extensions will ensure that never takes off like people expect.

Just like ARM has failed in the market for this exact reason too. Intel ships thousands of CPUs for every ARM shipped, right?

kingspact··on Intel used to dominate the U.S. chip industry, now struggling to stay relevant
Intel's getting destroyed on all fronts, let's not kid ourselves here. Plus foreign governments don't want the NSA-mandated hardware backdoors now that everybody knows they exist. Intel's OK I guess if you work for the government and need a computer with such a "feature" so the glowboys can keep tabs on you.
kingspact··on A vegan cheese beat dairy in a big competition. Then the plot curdled
Found the daily WEF-sponsored "eat the bugs and live in a pod" placement.
kingspact··on FTC says Amazon executives destroyed potential evidence using apps like Signal
When are stupid government regulators going to learn who runs this country anyway?
kingspact··on Google rival Tuta complains to EU tech regulators about de-ranking
Forgive my misspelling, I have a cold.
kingspact··on Apple users are being locked out of their Apple IDs with no explanation
Yeah, LOL. They're trying to memory hole that one.
kingspact··on Pharo 12
They removed a lot of the capabilities of Squeak and most of the nice legacy code included for educational and historical purposes, and neutered the object inspection tools. I understand that Pharo is no longer Squeak and the whole idea was to simply take Squeak and change not just the UI but the actual language. But I'm just a Squeak person.
kingspact··on Pharo 12
I don't like Pharo because they changed it too radically from Squeak, which I DO like very much.
kingspact··on Google rival Tuta complains to EU tech regulators about de-ranking
Google's competitor, that the "journalist" failed to name, is Tutanoa. Not Tuta. It's fascintating that bots like you and the other bot which replied to me don't have access to this fact in your training data.
kingspact··on Google rival Tuta complains to EU tech regulators about de-ranking
Huh? I don't understand the question. Certainly!
kingspact··on Asian American women are getting lung cancer despite never smoking
No, they're smoking behind their parents backs when they're young, and they're not telling their doctors, because Asian Americans, like many minorities, tend to patronize doctors of their own ethnicity and those doctors know their parents.

Start doing autopsies on them - oh wait that's forbidden in their culture.

kingspact··on McKinsey Under Criminal Investigation over Opioid-Related Consulting
We already have all the tools we need to attack and destroy any corporate officer who does such a thing. But we also have a rigged, corrupt legal system.
kingspact··on Shouldn't Teams, Zoom, Slack interoperate securely for the Feds? Wyden is asking
Why can't the feds get their own chat suite together? How are all these companies, loaded to the gills with foreigners, to be trusted with the government's secrets?
kingspact··on Google rival Tuta complains to EU tech regulators about de-ranking
Reuters literally can't bring itself to type out three extra characters and fully name the competitor to Google. Interesting.
kingspact··on Glibc Buffer Overflow in Iconv
UTF-8 is bloat and should never have been a first-class encoding on Unix. Unix is Western and Latin.
kingspact··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
We just run everything on a small cheap Threadripper with a mere 1/2TB RAM, it just sits in the co-founder's basement.
kingspact··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
A process? Or like a container with Postgres in it?
