I'm not a fan of Apple or Google, and it feels bad that all of our notifications pass through APNS or FCM. Megacorps shouldn't have control over our digital lives to the extent that they do, and anyone talking about this gets my f

I was in Japan recently and did find that my non-Japanese Pixel phone wasn't allowed to use the mobile Suica app, even though the hardware supports it. Some nerds on XDA figured out the mechanism preventing it[0], and if you're ro

Agree that "control" is a much better framing, since it doesn't suggest a need for secrecy and therefore embarrassing/unacceptable/untoward behavior that needs to stay behind drawn window blinds. I'm also fond

I think that inflating the perceived value of the good beyond rationality is one of the main objectives of marketing.

You're right, of course, but I don't think blame rests solely on the individual consumer here... I guess it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, wherein Apple makes $200 knitted iPhone scrotes because they know people will l

The way I see it, the suggestion that one can simply "vote with their wallet" is absolutely a pro-corporation stance because it pretends that consumers and megacorps have equal footing in the market. This premise is a bit of a sph

I wonder what the "free-market" types will say to minimize criticisms like those in this thread once everything that can possibly be purchased requires bending over for this sort of abuse. Is the fantasy that some entrepreneurial

Yeah, from the demo video, it looks like this OCRs a photo of text and turns it into one of those QR codes. Then you can use Google Lens against the QR code onscreen to get the "join" button.

Yep, downloading copies of videos so I can watch them on long flights is one of my main use cases for yt-dlp. I suppose someone more sycophantic to the wishes of trillion-dollar corporations could argue that I'm not entitled to do this

Felony contempt of business model! The DMCA and its anti-circumvention provisions bring us a rich history of abuse, including such gems as "Lexmark suing a company that figured out how to interoperate with its ink cartridge business an

In summary, YouTube is A/B testing a change where specific clients receive only DRM-locked video streams. This is notable because yt-dlp impersonates those clients during normal operation. Since yt-dlp won't support decrypting DRM

I've rambled about this on here before, but I'm pretty bothered that the media coverage of these always mentions the 25-year import law, but also always frames it simply as a matter of exemption from safety and emissions standards

It looks like you're doing great work here, thanks a bunch; looking forward to seeing this project develop. Selling custom integrations, managed instances, white-glove support with an SLA, and so on seems like a reasonable funding mode

Nitter worked by signing in with special "guest accounts" that I think were given to fresh downloads of the mobile apps.[0] Last year, X fully disabled that functionality, which left most Nitter instances broken. At that point, th

My understanding is that Nitter instances like this one, now that guest accounts don't exist anymore, depend on a pool of manually-created Twitter accounts. If the use case is people infrequently viewing the occasional tweet or thread,

Low-hanging fruit of dodgy medical claims aside: why would you post this as a response to someone announcing that they are shortly going to die from cancer? Is the intent to make the point that this person's current situation could lik

As someone who has to interview candidates occasionally, I love the idea of a real-time interview copilot system. Here's why. I see two main ways it could shake out. In the less exciting case, the copilot isn't very good. It takes

It's 200GbE. Assuming you could actually fully saturate both of those links, it would only take a couple of hours to copy off the entire capacity. I think you'd more likely be capped by the write speed of the destination storage?

Huh, didn't know about "ChatGPT-User"... I've always been a fan of a slightly blacker-hat approach to this problem: rather than block those user agents outright, wouldn't it be way more fun to serve them nonsense or
