Then just go through the linked mailing list in the OP. It's in the quoted parts. Honestly, the people around here.

I felt the title was too ambiguous. The only reason why I assumed it was about security is because I looked at the source URL.

It's a pattern of behavior that affects a lot of online communities from what I've seen, not just HN, but it's particularly concerning when I see that kind of stance here. There are a number of writers who I disagree with on

It feels like this would be the perfect application for something like Geforce Now or even just the Steam streaming service. Provide an interface for users to customize the controls and provide an API for advanced users. You could probably

That would be the case if they hadn't thrown out the beginner's installation guide. What they have now is completely generic and largely useless for anybody who needs some amount of guidance or explanation. The current guide is

> Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners will detain them and turn them over to law enforcement, who will take their money without any cause for suspicion and without filing any criminal charges This is insanity.

I don't think it being Linux is too important for people. If somebody made a working FreeBSD for a phone and there was official support for that device, then people wouldn't be all "Well, it's not Linux". I don&#x27

I don't understand this comment. Am I not allowed to use Linux if I haven't ever committed code to an open source project? I've been using Linux for 15 years. Are you taking away my Linux card and am I being banned from the p

Yes, my next phone will be a Linux phone. I'm just done with Android and iOS. They're terrible operating systems run by massive companies with entirely way too much control, money and power.

Harder boundaries? From what I understand, a hypervisor is much harder to break out of than a FreeBSD jail and provides more isolation between the VMs.

I've been experimenting with Qubes and it's the only OS I'm aware of that adequately addresses this issue. It's not usable for non-technical users though without a lot of learning/training and it can be a bit tediou

Funny, I work from home and I'm on my laptop 99% of the time instead of my more powerful desktop. The flexibility of being able to choose where at home I can work is unbeatable and has made the pandemic slightly more bearable.

I loved my old Thinkpad. Thick, but it could run at full load without throttling for as long as I needed it to. But nowadays, even their T series keeps getting thinner and they've been soldering the RAM.

The UN only "works" because everybody understands that either you do what the US wants or you have a problem. Now? As terrible as the US is, I don't see how a country like China having the space to expand its influence is a g

I've been looking into this and couldn't find any studies or reports that showed any notable negative effect of particulate emissions by laser printers.

I started up my laser printer after letting it gather dust for a good 4-5 years. It still works as good as new (and it was already 6 years old by then). This thing is unkillable and the toner lasts what feels like forever (while also bein
