type0··on Denmark wants to push through Chat Control
Worse than Stasi. Denmark spied on Swedish politicians for US.

I have zero confidence that "the Worlds least corrupt country" is actually the least corrupt.

type0··on Denmark wants to push through Chat Control
Technically it's a Monarchy

Whatsapp would turn off that feature for EU countries the same day the law goes through

type0··on Always Invite Anna
Alice and Bob are planning a party, they might invite Anna but don't want Mallory to show up and ruin everything so they turn to Facebook and create a closed group for party planning. Anna, being privacy conscious, doesn't use fb and expects to receive an invite on Signal. But Alice and Bob decide not to invite Anna because they're Danish politicians and Anna is against Chat Control.

> By the time you get to my age, your list of potential Anna's will be in the high dozens. You simply cannot keep this up with all the Anna's.

By the time facebook has been used to plan events, your list of potential Anna's will be in the high dozens, because Anna doesn't use fb and it's too difficult to send sms's. You simply cannot keep this up with all the Anna's.

type0··on Shopify, pulling strings at Ruby Central, forces Bundler and RubyGems takeover
> Maybe when the US invades Greenland and starts deporting the Danes from the US he'll discover empathy.

is he actually US citizen or dual or just Danish?

type0··on A board member's perspective of the RubyGems controversy
of course Rails is mainly commercial

gems and bundler is for everyone though, even hobbyists writing scripts. Alienating contributors who support common infrastructure for no good reason is just plain stupid especially when those projects wasn't theirs to begin with

type0··on Review: Project Xanadu – The Internet That Might Have Been
there's good "Advent of computing" episode about memex and hyperlinks https://adventofcomputing.libsyn.com/episode-26-memex-and-hy...
type0··on Ruby Central's Attack on RubyGems [pdf]
From https://rubycentral.org/news/strengthening-the-stewardship-o...

> "Their work laid much of the foundation we are building on today, and we are committed to carrying that legacy forward with the same spirit of openness and collaboration."

what do they mean by openness, it doesn't even say who wrote this

type0··on Dark patterns killed my wife's Windows 11 installation
> Windows 11 (dual booting with FreeBSD 15

Not sure if you are aware of this but dual booting can be broken with new Windows update if you're not using different disks.

type0··on Public static void main(String[] args) is dead
the verbosity is a feature not a bug

that's why java programmers are the most productive programmers ever

if you count productivity by lines of code

type0··on Linux phones are more important now than ever
Many drivers already install those apps

Only a question of time until it becomes mandatory

> (Grandma still needs to be able to access her bank too)

In some countries they are mandated if not by law then by implementation, a relative or a social worker is tasked to get grandma equipped with a "smart device". She can even borrow it for a few months from municipality services until she can afford to buy it

type0··on Linux phones are more important now than ever
So so, housing isn't required and no one requires you to buy food either

type0··on Public Suffix List
The difference is you don't register a domain under github.io, you merely loan it. Some countries, like Poland, have a bunch that are real domain suffixes

type0··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
> But hope can also be rational

it's not, poor parents can't feed their children with hope

type0··on Poland shoots down drones in its airspace during Russian attack on Ukraine
> A no-fly zone 100 km into Ukrainian territory

No-fly zone should include Belarus and I would argue even Kaliningrad

type0··on Google Doesn't Rank My Site for My Own Brand Name
domain names don't weight as much in search ranking it used to be
type0··on ICE is using fake cell towers to spy on people's phones
You can't compare it sourceforge, MS is too big to fail
type0··on Rug pulls, forks, and open-source feudalism
Using a license that contributors trust your project to abide by is far more useful than any potential litigation that may or may not happen.
type0··on Ask HN: Looking for headless CMS recommendation
I might be biased but I love wagtail mainly because of django, can't stand php insanity. I'm sure there are some good cms's written in Personal Home Page language, I just haven't seen any
type0··on Ask HN: Looking for headless CMS recommendation
Maybe https://getpublii.com/ it's a static site generator as an app for non technical people
type0··on Ask HN: Looking for headless CMS recommendation
Why not Ghost instead?
type0··on Apple pulls iPhone torrent app from AltStore PAL in Europe
from torrentfreak > "No further context was provided, but the developer purportedly had a Russian developer account, despite living in Malta."

"seems the issue is related to government sanctions" - so he is still connected to the Russian government then?!

btw, Malta is a good place for Russian agents, Sergey Gorokhovsky is one such and he oversees White House Personnel while telling everyone he's not Russian

type0··on Bear is now source-available
> we should find a term (better than 'source-available', which is cold and doesn't capture community projects accurately)

it's not copyleft, it's a version of freeware license

type0··on The fight against labeling long-term streaming rentals as "purchases" you "buy"
In the world where you don't own things you buy, then you can't "steal" it either, so "pirating" becomes the only sane way to get your digital media. You'll own nothing and be happy™

It's never 10,000^2. But the important part is: It's Over 9000!
