What's the alternative? At least they don't comply with takedown requests, which can't be said about archive.org who remove everything even semi-controversial.

That's modern social media for you. Turn everything into ragebait.

I couldn't access it in private or regular.

Aww man you got me curious for a sec there.

> it does NOT apply to current visa holders

How about transfers?

Transfers technically count as new visas and need to be petitioned. Will every new employer have to shell out 100K? If that's the case, H-1B holders are now actually indentured servants (they were not previously, no matter how many Redditors claim otherwise) because they are now stuck with the current employer with essentially no ability to transfer or find a new employer in case of a layoff.

I’m unsure what he’s trying to say either. The gibberish and out-of-context replies ITT are making me think HN, like many other sites, is laden with bots now.

Just take finasteride. As a nice side effect, you won’t go bald.

No you can't.

Even if you could (which you can't, at least on my, modern, phone), it would be a workaround, not a solution.

A solution would be allowing free selection like in the browser or, better yet, ditching "native" apps for web apps, as the person above suggested. As a bonus, this "exodus" will force browser makers to iron out any UX issues very quickly.

Git GUIs like Turtois, Cracken, Lens, VSCode's Source Control are opinionated and for some reason all do weird stuff under the hood. If you look at the commands being run, a simple action or click in the menu results in a combination of 2, 3, 4 git commands that often resemble nothing like how I (and I imagine most people) would do it in CLI.

This is just asking for trouble.

You can't "send them back home." They'll just find another employer. They aren't the "indentured servants" y'all are trying to paint them to be.

Boo hoo. Give it all away to children in Africa. I assure you they'll know what to do with it.

Isn't text-to-speech very expensive? Last time I checked, Eleven Labs, the most natural-sounding TTS provider, were charging insane amounts per token. Wasting so much on scammers sounds unsustainable and just silly.

VM? Virtual machine?

Do you use glide typing on your Android?

I wish they'd gone with [Compact Tabs] a-la Safari instead of Vertical Tabs a-la Edge. A unified tab and address bar is just so much more elegant and versatile. After switching back from MacOS to Windows, it's only thing I truly miss. Vertical tabs just seem like a transitional step.

If it's non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for 80-85% of lung cancer cases, it's very aggressive and rarely noticed before stage 4.

> `brew install theThingIActuallyWant`

Homebrew is a third-party tool neither written nor endorsed by Apple that does hacky things and causes breakage with things as simple and fundamental as a [multi user install].

> Settings for notifications and obnoxious start-up stuff, all in one place and in your hands, not Microsoft's and in most cases, not even Apple's. It is better than Windows.

Right-click on Start - Task Manager - Startup apps. Right-click on notification icon - Notifications settings. I am not "off." You just don't know Windows. I know MacOS with all its illogical UX.

No idea why you brought up Linux. It's [less secure] than both macOS and Windows and much less secure than Android and iOS, so I wouldn't use it as a desktop OS to begin with, and it's not really relevant to the discussion.

I'll take a few ads over the illogical mess that is MacOS.

To make your settings stick, use group policies instead of Control Panel, Settings and the registry. It's the much more stable and better documented equivalent of MacOS' "defaults."

> I tried even using local accounts but it causes significant issues in the OS.

I have never not used a local account, so I'm unsure what you're saying, because it hasn't caused any issues at all, let alone significant ones. Can you provide an example?

I'd never use F-Droid due to how insecure it is. They still modify all app signatures, so you can't even verify what you're installing is authentic.

It's neither consequential nor AI which we won't see, our children won't see, their children won't see, etc., so seems fine to trust Altman with chatbots.

I would never use "performance" and "Hyper-V" in the same sentence.

So they'll have access to less money, so they won't have access to as good a care.

Doesn't sound real. I've typed correctly my whole life and have a lower WPM than that. You'd need to move your fingers at superhuman speeds to achieve that with just two wingers.

It does happen and is very handy.

Your far-fetched example is easily circumvented with a disclaimer saying this is a form copy (duh). I've never received one that didn't say that.

Correlation is not causation.

Using half your fingers is different from using two.

You can have multiple Google accounts. Just make sure you use app-based 2FA on each so you don't get locked out.

IIRC doing just the latter messes up your brain. If you're interested in retaining your cognitive function long-term and avoiding early onset dementia, maybe do both. Write things down when you hear them, then copy the important bits over to Obsidian at the end of the day.

How does what you remember influence your personality?

Does it still do that silly thing where it opens fullscreen videos in portrait? That along with the lack of swipe up/down to toggle fullscren made Safari YouTube a no-go for me.
