magashna··on Personal and social information of 1.2B people discovered in data leak
It looks like the purpose was data enrichment, so maybe it was pieced together over time from multiple sources. My linkedin from PDL only had 1 bit of wrong info. I wasn't able to find anything on my personal email addresses which is good.
magashna··on Allbirds CEO on Amazon's copycat strategy
Maybe they should aim for a different market segment then. Common Projects, a plain but very well made luxury sneaker seems to be doing well. I'd imagine fighting for scraps against Amazon/Walmart isn't going to go well.
magashna··on Half-Life: Alyx
I have a Vive, just been cagey about updating. The Quest looks like the kind of casual experience that I wanted after having a Vive since launch.
magashna··on Half-Life: Alyx
Wonder if I can do Oculus Quest + PC Link + Index controllers. Don't really want to buy an Index, but the controllers look really nice. Also considering Quest since my biggest gripe before was the wired headset and how heavy it was overall.
magashna··on WeWork lays off 2,400 employees
I refuse to believe anyone wouldn't take 1.7 billion to walk away from a company.
magashna··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
The guy was brought to tears for wearing a shirt his female friend made. Just because a company doesn't fire someone (and rightfully so) doesn't mean there aren't pitchfork waving mobs screaming for the head of some comedian/artist/random guy.

A great example of satirizing the movement would be 30 Rock's "Idiots are people two!"

Edit: also that you dismissed it, even though googling my comment verbatim would've given you a source, shows that you're starting at your conclusion then working backwards. Trolling isn't appreciated

magashna··on Microsoft's “Love” of Linux
"Embrace, extend, extinguish"

*nix is too big to really extinguish, but MS can certainly bear hug some cash out of them.

magashna··on MainStreet – $10k to Leave Bay Area
But if you're purely remote you're banking that extra money
magashna··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
Remember the NASA scientist who got so much shit for wearing a shirt?
magashna··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
Exactly. The point is it's not sexist.
magashna··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
The presumption was that it's sexist to assume you can't talk code with young women. I don't want to talk code with anyone 99% of my off time. But to say the reasoning is sexist is untrue.
magashna··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
> most young women

I dare you to go to an average bar or club and try to talk about code with most young women. It's not happening. Most people don't code, and most coders are male.

magashna··on Facebook: We don’t need your consent
Sell them to shady executives.
magashna··on "Google Stadia is not a product that exists because people want it"
> but almost everyone that's sat down to play it so far has talked about how it feels nearly indistinguishable from a console latency-wise.

Nearly every review I've seen mentions that there's just enough latency for it to not feel good, with some visual stuttering occasionally.

magashna··on "Google Stadia is not a product that exists because people want it"
My local library not only has a huge game selection, they will ship games from within the library network to a library closest to me. It's basically Blockbuster for games, but free. New games too, it's how I've played any PS or Switch exclusives for the past few years.
magashna··on "Google Stadia is not a product that exists because people want it"
> trolling to see how many downvotes to get banned

And here I was thinking video games were a waste of time! Heyooo

magashna··on "Google Stadia is not a product that exists because people want it"
"You watch any good movies, read any good books, or play any good games lately?"

"No, child, I was honing my mind as one does a blade."

Someone might smugly say that indeed.

magashna··on How to run your own mail server (2017)
Confirming your emails are getting through to providers like gmail is the hard part
magashna··on TikTok hits 1.5B downloads, outperforming Instagram
Chinese organ harvesting is surely beyond what the US is doing.
magashna··on TikTok hits 1.5B downloads, outperforming Instagram
Isn't Youtube banned in China?
magashna··on Boeing faced ‘limited’ safety review from NASA while SpaceX got full examination
Why? It's not like Elon is proposing hemp based rocket parts.
magashna··on Alan Moore on superhero culture
Why can't a BLT just be a BLT? Seems like a reach.
magashna··on Some users say they're getting rid of Fitbit because they don't trust Google
Obviously man on the street is more legitimate.
magashna··on Some users say they're getting rid of Fitbit because they don't trust Google
I don't have a fitbit but this move and the recent nuking of accounts because of youtube have gotten me to shift all my email to another service.
magashna··on MacBook Pro 16" 2019 Teardown
That's for a very niche, need to game on the go, market. It's otherwise ridiculous looking
magashna··on Hacker Publishes 2TB of Data from Cayman National Bank
That's a really crafty way of saying "they did it, so I should be able to do it"
magashna··on Hacker Publishes 2TB of Data from Cayman National Bank
If my sole purpose was to be good at X things, I'd be good at them.
magashna··on Hacker Publishes 2TB of Data from Cayman National Bank
> quite frankly draconian rules that usually places them on US/EU/OECD blacklists

Assuming ethics is not a concern

magashna··on Disney+ fans without answers after thousands hacked
It would really make me laugh if Disney was at fault but it sounds like people with compromised credentials reusing those same creds.
magashna··on Vice Ventures is investing in taboo industries that other funds won’t touch
> Citations needed...nope. Accusations of today's youth being lazy and playing video games are abundant enough that if you can't find them you've obviously been playing too many video games.

Countless unfounded stories, and then implication that those "playing too many video games" aren't in the know.

Your viewpoints seem antiquated in this day in age where everyone is always on their phone, playing a video game when traveling or waiting.

Is a crossword app a video game? I didn't realize the NYT crossword app was targeting lazy youth.
