tchbnl··on The Philippines' big offshoring industry is growing despite AI
You're only saying this because you're in the fortunate position of not worrying about your job being offshored.
tchbnl··on Mozilla appoints new CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
Mozilla went to shit after Brendan Eich was ousted.
tchbnl··on Microsoft Will Preload Windows 11 File Explorer to Fix Bad Performance
This isn't a fix, it's a lazy bandaid.
tchbnl··on Helium Browser
Having the option to set Kagi as my search engine right away is nice. I wish more browsers included Kagi as an option.
tchbnl··on Amazon to end commingling after years of complaints from brands and sellers
This is an incredibly welcomed change. When I buy a product from a specific seller amongst a dozen, it's for a good reason. I expect THEIR inventory.
tchbnl··on The Gold Card
I've edited it out after giving the word a more thorough review. I appreciate you raising it.
tchbnl··on The Gold Card
Excuse me? I voted twice against him.
tchbnl··on Trump to Add $100k Fee to H-1B Visas
So move to Bulgaria?
tchbnl··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Sure it does, if enough users find this interesting to them. I for one find this interesting.
tchbnl··on CVC acquires majority stake in Namecheap for $1.5B
Private equity has been a cancer for the web hosting community. A single firm bought the top two control panels (cPanel and Plesk), the top virtualization solution (SolusVM), and the top billing software (WHMCS). And each year the prices are raised further and further with no real investment. It's forced a lot of smaller providers out and caused prices for customers to skyrocket. And you have to put up with it because the alternatives still aren't quite as good, or you're too locked in.

It's the same for hosting companies. A single PE firm (Endurance) owns over two dozen hosting and domain firms. The first thing they do is lay off the staff (because they already have outsourced agents) and strip the bits away until it's nothing more than a shell with a name for one of their other platforms.

PE is a cancer, and I don't even know if I can count one that has ever been a net positive for a company. All they care about is extracting more and more until all that's left is a stone.

tchbnl··on US Adds Surprise Gold Bar Tariff in Blow to Switzerland
You, uh, want to explain what exactly Switzerland is doing that's wrong and why we've been "whacking" all our allies as of late?
tchbnl··on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down
I can find nothing about FedNow being replaced or even changed recently. Your source is the only one about this, and it's some no-name crypto junk site nobody's ever heard of.
tchbnl··on AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning
>Before anyone says “you put all your eggs in one basket,” let me be clear: I didn’t. I put them in one provider

Ah, but that's still one basket.

tchbnl··on Intel to boost gross margins – new products must deliver 50% gross profit
> Maximizing shareholder value

Depressing. Intel is going to die under this guy's "leadership". I wonder what company will swoop in and buy them? I wonder how much his golden parachute will be.

tchbnl··on RFK Jr.'s health department calls Nature "junk science," cancels subscriptions
I'm going to burrow into a hole under my shed and hope for the best when I emerge in four years.
tchbnl··on Cosmoe: BeOS Class Library on Top of Wayland
AFAIK the only thing carried over from Be was Binder (from BeIA), which made its way to Android before being completely rewritten later on.
tchbnl··on Discord.com added to EasyList, the biggest adblock filter list
It looks like the committer is a prolific contributor on there. I'd like to hear their explanation for why they have been repeatedly adding it.
tchbnl··on Microsoft is blocking Google Chrome through its family safety feature
I think this is a legitimate bug. But also that Microsoft is taking its sweet time to fix it.
tchbnl··on Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft and people are paying anyway
I'll happily pay extra to never interact with another human. I'd live in a cave and yell at passersbys if I could.
tchbnl··on Trump's NASA cuts would destroy decades of science and wipe out its future
It continues to be a long four years.
tchbnl··on Kagi Reaches 50k Users
50K _paying users_ for a _search engine_. That's no small feat.
tchbnl··on NASA Shuts Off Voyager Science Instrument
Not sure if this is a joke, but it was powered off to extend battery life.
tchbnl··on Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026
I wonder when exactly Microsoft dropped mask and actively decided to fuck over paying customers on the regular. They have zero respect for their users.
tchbnl··on TinyX: Small Featured X Server
It's stable and it works for me.
tchbnl··on Perplexity AI proposes to merge with TikTok, with US Government getting half
That immediately came to mind when I read about this. Is Perplexity in such rough shape that they're going for a Hail Mary pass?
tchbnl··on WordPress Is in Trouble
Please take your meds or seek immediate professional help, Matt.
tchbnl··on Rosetta 2 creator leaves Apple to work on Lean full-time
Sometimes people just want to work on cool stuff and have the luxury of being able to do that. Rosetta 2 is shipped and done.
tchbnl··on Chatbot hinted a kid should kill his parents over screen time limits: lawsuit
First, my brother in Christ why are nine-year-olds on this app (or even have unmonitored access to things like this)? I have to wonder if they're also on Discord and what they're also being exposed to on there.

I know the site claims to use a model for younger users, but it should really become an 18+ site. Both because of the mature themes and because I think kids aren't fully developed enough to grasp how these LLM chatbots work.

tchbnl··on Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices
>Until this change, customers who have used fewer resources have covered the costs, in a way, for other customers who have used much more resources.

So... raising the prices for everybody instead?

tchbnl··on M4 and M4 Pro Mac minis are probably Apple's best Mac minis
Isn't every new Mac mini Apple's best Mac mini? I don't know of any that were regressions.
