oauea··on EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of private communications
Just ask yourself, when was the last time something like this happened in the Netherlands? https://www.wivb.com/news/buffalo-supermarket-mass-shooting-...
oauea··on Twitter Terms of Service Diff
I'm not talking about their intent, I'm not a mind reader, I'm talking about their published TOS.
oauea··on Twitter Terms of Service Diff
Have you considered reading the TOS instead of insulting me?
oauea··on Twitter Terms of Service Diff
Obviously they do. To quote their TOS:

> You agree that you will not work around any technical limitations in the software provided to you as part of the Services, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits.

Go to twitter right now and try to post a message containing 300 characters. You can't do it. It is a technical limitation. Now make a screenshot of that text and post it. You just worked around a technical limitation and are now in blatant violation of their TOS.

Not nearly as racist as the US where people of color are regularly murdered.

> and nudism of any minor can be seen as CSAM if the pose they strike can be construed as 'erotic'

So we're now expected to teach our kids what erotic poses are so they know not to accidentally do that during family pics, lest daddy or mommy wind up in jail? The future is fucked up.

I've never understood it either, and always wondered if it was some American thing? Do they have a favourite lawyer like I have a favourite barber?

That's the rise of the dollar symbols for eyeballs period. There were plenty of people making things with 0 regard to profit. Think back to all the random little websites or flash games people put countless hours into.

Of course they are trying to sell to you. Why else would they exist? Just for the warm fuzzy feeling in their heart? Then why are they asking for money? Oh, right, they're trying to sell their service. And part of that is encouraging people to use it & share it on social media.

Go back to the early 2000s and admire all the work people put out for free on the net because they enjoyed doing it. This was thriving, but then people with dollar signs for eyes took over and now we're stuck with them.

High quality dials with adaptive increments are amazing and much faster & easier to use than a touch pad.

oauea··on Keycloak: Open-Source Identity and Access Management
I think keycloak is fantastic. The only thing I don't really like is how the user profile is deeply baked into the code. It seems they're working on improving this, but at least currently, it is not possible to have users that do not use a "First name" and a "Last name". Which is rather annoying when using it for things like game servers, where people just want to go by their username.

> even to edit HTML templates I had to recompile using a full blown Java/JVM stack

Next time check the docs and turn off the theme cache: https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#cre...

> While creating a theme it’s a good idea to disable caching as this makes it possible to edit theme resources directly from the themes directory without restarting Keycloak.

Don't worry, that was obvious.

no. restarting some daemons one by one when it's convenient is wildly different from taking down the entire system

oauea··on Epic is asking a court to stop Google from yanking Bandcamp off the Play Store
I think you meant ads instead of apps.
oauea··on Epic is asking a court to stop Google from yanking Bandcamp off the Play Store
Same for Android. Google charges a licensing fee from manufacturers.
oauea··on Epic is asking a court to stop Google from yanking Bandcamp off the Play Store
Why isn't the same warning shown when installing from the play store? Apps installed from the play store can have the exact same permissions as side loaded apps. You can claim that Google vets the apps, but this is pretty much false. Just go make an app and experience the process for yourself, it's laughable. Any checks they perform are automated, and there's no reason those couldn't just run on-device.

And besides, even for side loaded apps they have a database of "bad" apps that get deleted by Google called "play protect"

oauea··on Epic is asking a court to stop Google from yanking Bandcamp off the Play Store
Google is running an app store. Why should they have any right to involvement whatsoever after the app has been installed? Once the user has installed the app the transaction has been finalized. And if that app is given away for free, and Google has a problem with that, they should ban all free apps and require charging a fee.

Is that basically a small alum block?
oauea··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
Meh, every time I get into an actual substantial discussion I get rate limited and the conversation has moved on before I get to respond. I'll admit that since the rate limit I haven't bothered to post high value comments, because if I get interesting replies I won't even get to respond back. I'll just make a new account at some point.
oauea··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
No, I emailed dang and he confirmed my account was rate limited to prevent "flame wars". I get to make about 3 comments every few hours it seems.

My HN account is rate limited by @dang, if I post more than an unspecified amount of comments in an unspecified time frame I get a message telling me to go away.

Now you need to flag each post individually instead of just banning troublesome users.
oauea··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
Well, sure, because Apple makes it impossible to develop for iOS devices without using a Mac. So you HAVE to fully buy into their ecosystem if you want to develop anything for their mobile phones.
oauea··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
How do I run Linux on a macbook? Also where can I buy one without paying the macos license fee?
oauea··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
It's interesting how cult-like mac users are.

> Anyone here have workarounds for this?

Sure, use Linux.
