so it's either go to the store naked, or don't leave the house at all, I guess...

> Why is it Fitness app only? Odd restriction.

It's not... The compatible third-party apps part means basically any app integrating with the API, presumably.

> ... foam-assisted tips

I had a set of foam-integrated silicone tips on my Airpods Pro 2 and I LOVED them. All the fit benefits of foam with the easy cleaning of silicone! Wish they'd release first-party versions for the Airpods Pro 2, cause that's the only change I'd really like. Single charge battery usage and ANC are great, but I get by just fine with the AP2 (ANC is already excellent, so I'm really curious what the AP3s sound like in comparison).

No, I only use my powers for good.

And your dog wants pets and treats.

But Tailscale never sees the device keys, so what they obtain and log is, at best, metadata. They have no capacity to decrypt any Tailnet traffic.

I'd be interested to know which competing services exist that DON'T do the exact same thing in order to evaluate issues reporting by users or observed across multiple customer environments.

ETA: Not that it's probative, but here's an example of how Tailscale wildly differs from other VPN/Mesh networks: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/apenwarr_zscaler-ceo-just-ann...

Actually, I think the switch to Dia was them providing certain potential buyers proof that they (as a dev team) could build a new browser with a completely different UI and mindset/intent quickly. Essentially just something to prove their "Arc Dev Kit" efficiency.

I am a mind reader and can confirm the post he replied to was sarcasm.

Arc was actually full of some really great ideas. There was plenty of nonsense, but their Air Traffic Control feature is still unmatched on other browsers. Multi-container/profile browsing is managed so poorly across other browsers.

Dia is a joke, but I guess it has a chance in the age of ever-more-popular AI functionality.

My only curiosity is whether this means that Atlassian will lock these browsers down to just paying customers or keep some limited functionality versions available for personal use. Of all the companies who might’ve bought TBC, I did not expect Atlassian, based on the services they offer already.

Then again, all the potential anti-trust stuff happening with Google and the push to separate Google from Chrome could be a bit catalyst for this move.

Which makes the idea that a group like them could build their own OS from scratch all the more unattainable... That's the point I'm trying to make. At least if Google ever drops AOSP, it would be when it's still an intact OS available to continue development on. Additionally, I suspect a group like Graphene could get a lot more support developing AOSP's replacement in that instance, considering how many other manufacturers and devices utilize AOSP-derived software.

If the source is fully open (it is) than detecting and disabling backdoors is completely possible. Not to mention the fact that other OS projects face the same risks.

If Google cuts development of AOSP in favor of some closed-source alternative, the GrapheneOS team could simply continue development of AOSP on their own.

Is your alternative that someone should build a complete from-scratch alternative OS that can still be booted on the same hardware?

For the time being, AOSP and Chromium are still open source, so why not piggy-back off of all that labor and development to provide what GrapheneOS users want at minimal cost and effort?

I think it's still a dominant strategy. Docker functions on the same ideology. VMWare switched to the same strategy with their Workstation Pro being free for non-commercial use, etc.

Agreed on the licensing concerns. I hate seeing members of commercial entities discuss using personal/non-commercial products like that. I moved to a new company and wanted to use Obsidian for some individual note-taking purposes, then realized I could only use it for 30 days before I needed a commercial license if I did anything work related with it. I know Obsidian proper wouldn't even know if I used it this way, but I avoided doing so until I got word that Obsidian was changing their commercial licensing policy.

Enough high-potential Microsoft products died on the vine that it’ll take a serious and lasting change in corporate processes before I ever go back. I loved the thought that went into the Surface Book, but it was killed off for some half-assed alternative. The Surface Neo was a really cool idea that rotted away after being announced. So many software ideas went away before they even had a change (Subsystem for Android being the most recent one I can recall).

I’m a Kagi subscriber and didn’t know about this… thanks!!

I believe they also hired the developer of headscale!

This type of option exercise is extremely common in government contracts. I don’t think there’s much to read into on that front.

This shafted me hard when I registered the domain I used to research and write a company blog post (https://www.guidepointsecurity.com/blog/tunnel-vision-cloudf...).

I’ll never deal with a .us domain again, even if it means missing out on a good text string.

I haven’t played with UW yet, but my understanding was that other platforms can work well with it, including openCore, which I’m very excited about.

They wouldn’t use AI to produce court exhibits. These are to help investigators quickly sift through the phone data to determine what data is worth investigating further.

iPhone users perceive Android devices as poor. It’s naive and biased, but there’s at least some validity based on the fact that Android devices can cost anywhere from $100 for some basic model at Walmart to ~$2k for the bendy/foldies.

What most are saying is that there’s always been the perception that comes with green messages. When I was on Android (pretty much since the first Nexus all the way to the Galaxy Fold 4), I definitely noticed iPhone users avoiding SMSing with me or in groups, and instead using Facebook Messenger because of the issues that come with group texts involving non-iOS users.

Now that I’m on iOS, I’m aware of the differences, although I don’t particularly care since so many Android devices support RCS.

Does it still apply if you change the UA to something more common (Chrome on Windows or something)?

Tana has had this for a long time with super tags, and Logseq has it (at least in the test builds of their DB version; I can’t speak to the traditional MD-based version) in their sub-tagging functionality.

I agree that it would be great across the board, though!

In this context, I should have probably said "same effect."

I'd be curious whether Apple is actually collecting data of nearly the same type or degree as Google or Roku. My guess is they're not.

The bigger issue is that it hardly matters, since every app you launch through your TV streamer device is probably tracking your use to a microscopic degree to feed into their analytics and advertising.

Presumably, you could replace Chromecast with Roku or Apple TV and get the same result.

Maybe it’s somewhere in this report, but I’m much more curious about why there was so much hostility toward anyone conveying the facts related to the so called “lab leak theory” than I am about the theory itself. It seems perfectly obvious that the most likely source of the virus could have been the lab that worked with variants of this virus and was very close to the first known infections.

The government (US and/or China) won’t actually suffer any meaningful consequences if it were known that they were involved in the accidentally leakage of the virus, so why all the effort to make it seem organic?

I’m a huge fan of the Miryoku layout/configuration. Structurally, you can use whatever standard base layer you want (I prefer Dvorak), but with quick access to modifier keys and additional layers.

Don’t forget the most well-funded alternative, Edge!

And probably even more if they made Google the only option, assuming it was otherwise perfect for most users.

I wish the result of the case was just “you can’t pester users to switch browsers. Unless the browser they’re using isn’t meeting an open standard that’s necessary to the proper function of the site you’re pestering them on.”

If another entity buys Chrome, they’re only doing so based on the belief of increased future value/revenue from it. Google doesn’t want to sell it because they see more future value in it. If Chrome sucked, there’d be no antitrust case. So this is all a “you’ve done too good a job, now give it all up.”

I don’t use Chrome or Chromium based browsers because Safari works well for all of my use cases. But I want to see alternatives prosper. I don’t think needing Chrome gets anyone there.

Agreed! I was on Arc for a while and really enjoyed it (obviously Chromium-based), but have found that both Orion and Safari are phenomenal choices! I don’t see any reason to switch back, although I will admit that I keep Chrome around in case I need/want to cast content to a Chromecast-enabled device (until I find an inexpensive alternative to that).

If there’s any chance that the Dark Forest theory is valid, I’d really rather we not!
