They soon plan to only allow logging in with Microsoft accounts no?
null4bl3··on Manyverse – A social network off the grid
Branding says manyverse.

Reviews says it's just scuttlebug

null4bl3··on PS4 Emulator for Linux Now Plays Hundreds of Games
What a horrible, horrible experience it was to visit that page.

Good news about the Linux emulation though

So just how evil can it get?
null4bl3··on England’s reopening: ‘The world is looking at us with disbelief’
The mask is to prevent unknowing infected from transferring the disease. It was never to protect FROM covid19

This is an abomination

Do you know of any tracker like options for the Eurorack modular format?
null4bl3··on Astro: Ship Less JavaScript
I like how many comments mention "you don't need a framework" and then mention how they wrote there personal bloggers in pure whatever.

Frameworks is not just some hyped up abstraction layer. Advanced frameworks offer advanced functionality for advanced projects. They really do.

They have standardized certain ways of doing things, structuring complex web applications and solving problems.

I completely agree about using a framework to build a personal blog is overkill in many ways, but don't blame the framework for that. Just like you shouldn't blame the saw for being bad at hammering in nails.

null4bl3··on Show HN: Chrome extension of Google Calendar. 30k users in 2 months
Could you please let developers decide for themselves if they want to keep their tools free for public usage?
null4bl3··on IRCv3
IRC is a protocol

Slack is a product

There is a really big difference

null4bl3··on Show HN: Mongita is to MongoDB as SQLite is to SQL
The valid use cases for non SQL databases can be counted on one hand.

Not sure this project understands that

null4bl3··on TikTok no worse than Facebook for privacy, says Citizen Lab
A while back there was this teardow post on reddit and HN as well, if I remember correctly, where some developer reverse engineered the tiktok app.

Or at least thst is what the post he made wrote it out to be.

I actually took the time to read through that looong post and read through his massive dumps of completely irrelevant logs and code dumps.

Only to find that there was not a single case of the tiktok app using anything but the official OS API on both iOS and Android.

Not a single case. And yet the post generated this common belief that it was straight up malware thst would hijack your device.

They did use the API to the fullest, just as most major social apps do, but there was not a single example of the app going beyond that.

I hate tiktok, and hate how China is violating human rights. But I am not going to indulge myself in lies to further that sort of agenda.

null4bl3··on Apple has threatened to remove Amphetamine from the App Store
Well. It is their store.

Come join the happy world off Linux if you want to avoid that sort of corporate control

null4bl3··on Ask HN: Why There Is No Ask Me Anything on Hacker News?
Because AMA's always just decent into advertisements.

"we are the developers behind service_x, ask us anything"

null4bl3··on Apple’s M1 MacBook Pro is powerful, but the battery life will blow you away
Just give it a few month
null4bl3··on RobinHood added the ability to exercise contracts in the app
".. Commission-free"

"click here to read about our fees"

null4bl3··on [dead]
What a horrible article.

How was your review of Wine?

What about triller, musical.ly or reels?

Or giphy. Nothing but short clips on repeat.

null4bl3··on Ask HN: Have you ever gone without a computer or phone for an extended period?
I would recommend John Zerzan's "Against Civilization".

It is in the same ballpark

null4bl3··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
This particular case becomes very interesting since it made its viral round in conservative circles on social networks. People waking up their kids in the middle of the night to get them ready, while loading guns because of the manipulation of this Twitter account. That then ended up posing a real threat since a lot of conservative people was up in arms with loaded guns, and any sort of innocent scenario could have had a deadly outcome
null4bl3··on The Great Plague of Marseille
"Powerful city merchants wanted the silk and cotton cargo of the ship for the great medieval fair at Beaucaire and pressured authorities to lift the quarantine"

So they also struggled with wealthy people bending the rules to their will even back then. The same is true today with large parts of the forces behind the "reopen" movement in the US.

null4bl3··on Why Is This Website Port Scanning Me?
Now scanning for open ports I can do on Linux.

But how would I go about monitoring which ports are being scanned on Linux?

No tool doing this comes to mind

null4bl3··on Link between Vitamin D deficiency and more serious Covid-19 symptoms
This makes me think of the vitamin d deficiency caused by air pollution, which has also been mentioned as a factor for speculations of high mortality rates with covid 19
null4bl3··on I think Catalina 10.15.4 broke SSH
But this entire thread of comments and even the topic of the post is proof that it really just doesn't work.

I would argue that any major Linux distro at this point "just work" just as well as MacOS

null4bl3··on Ask HN: What can programmers do to help with the coronavirus?
In a week or two. There will be a great need for volunteers when medical personal have fallen ill themselves or are breaking down. Tolls to help organize those volunteers could help put a lot.
null4bl3··on Discord is not an acceptable choice for free software projects
Use a protocol, not a service
null4bl3··on Ask HN: What Happened to GitHub's Atom?
For all the people going with "just use vscode"

at least use VSCodium as it is a community-driven, freely-licensed binary distribution of Microsoft’s editor VSCode

https://vscodium.com/

null4bl3··on George Orwell’s 1984 is currently the top selling book on Amazon
It's ironic that the CIA rakes in on that, since they have the publishing right for several of Orson Welles books
null4bl3··on Assange Statement on the US-Election
Not at all. The email data was received in chunks not many weeks before the election campaign began.
