I don't see how we should automatically trust them because we "own" the hardware. If its not open source and able to be verified by third parties, what does it matter if we have the "keys"? $500 for proprietary hard

Exploding might be an overstatement, but it did hit an all time high for daily queries this week.

I’ve also been all-in on DuckDuckGo for over a year now. I feel like it always gives me good results. I only speak English, but better support for other languages would be fantastic for those who can benefit from it.

Well, even though I had it installed, I never really used it. Does this change anything with GPG Keychain?

I'm not going to discount your anecdotal experience, but this is literally the first time I've ever heard of issues like that on a Mac. The only copy/paste problems I ever run in to is copy/paste from a VMWare VM to the

I don't think this is a reasonable scenario for the vast majority of people, even if you know someone who can SSH to your desktop for updates.

Scanbot is fantastic, I've been using it for years now.

I was paying $5/mo for Ars Technica, and recently switched to paying $50/year, because they were giving away a Yubikey with it. You don’t get any more content, but no ads and full text RSS.

The Touch Bar is mandatory on the 15” model, and while there is a 13” without it, it has two USB ports instead of four, and is using a lower power class CPU. They advertised it more as a replacement to the MacBook Air in the original keynot

You always have a choice to not buy an iPhone X, or if you do, not use Face ID.

Bing just feels gross to me, just like Google. But as someone pointed out, I guess DDG uses Bing for some of its results, so I don't have much of an argument here.

He is arguing against Johns stance on AMP by calling him a hypocrite citing his views on iOS, literally a perfect example of an ad hominem.

Checkout Duck Duck Go, still not Google-level results, but it's still pretty good, and not Bing.

While I get your point, your rebuttal is a pretty hardcore ad hominem.

I think Apple is pretty much the king of consumer level support.

Sounds like he contacted some of the sites in the article and they blew him off ("We are 100% secure, don't you see the Verisign badge?!"). But yeah, that still makes sense that it could be pulled for that reason.

Not that I know of. My guess is that somebody on that list threw a DMCA takedown notice at Github/Gitlab to get it pulled. Knee jerk reaction is to pull first, verify later.

2006 Mazda3 with a bunch of miles. My wife bought it new and it's hard to make myself want to get anything else since it is paid off and gets great gas mileage.

Call recording != wire tapping. Not that Apple will take kindly to it either way...

Nope, I'm a huge Apple guy, just don't care for The Loop at all.

by jwilcoxson 10y ago
Unfortunately The Loop isn't much of a news site, more of a controlled Apple leak blog. Dalrymple has gotten to the point of being a complete Apple shill. Edit: Compare the tone of the Loop article to Daring Fireballs: http:/&#x2

Isn't this just layering the discoverability issue? It's another set of commands to learn, when you should be learning the real commands.

Seems pretty good, it has a nice selection of integrations. What I noticed was strange was that it won't allow @gmail, @yahoo, @outlook email addresses for signup. You need to have a custom domain.
