I don't follow this logic. Forget about dating. If you want the AI to be able to send texts from your number, and you own an iPhone, I think your only other choice would be to port your number to Google Voice?

No, there actually aren’t. People just assume there are but the majority of desperate people turn to the barter system before crypto helps them.

I think the parent has a valid point. The actual README says "inspired by Apple’s Private Cloud Compute". I think it's more fair to say it implements the same idea but it is not an opensource implementation of Apple's Pr

We can agree to disagree. I just don’t think it’s the high order bit in determining the rate of vulnerability discovery - in my opinion the commercial utility (white / black / grey) of the exploits is a more important factor in de

Kind of odd that the blog states that "The architect for ZFS at Apple had left" and links to the LinkedIn profile of someone who doesn't have any Apple work experience listed on their resume. I assume the author linked to the

I don't quite understand what happened to SPICE. I know Red Hat deprecated it, and I can't tell if it was ever fully opensourced or not? https://www.spice-space.org/developers.html

I disagree, most podcast episodes and ads mention a few popular options plus “or wherever you get your podcasts” and the proprietary gated stuff hasn’t been doing that well!

All the native storage systems at Google do it at every level (block, file, database); I would assume the same is true at AWS and Microsoft.

Try not worrying about as much stuff? 100 years ago well before the invention of so-called surveillance capitalism, people were making soft drinks out of radium, and inhaling asbestos. Many things are better since then. Some new things are

I work at Google on database systems and would still pick the VMware codebase (specifically the virtual machine monitor component). It was by far the most impressive piece of software engineering I’ve ever had privilege of perusing.
