Tech is for the people, not the other way around.
Can't wait for this to go down like Theranos 2.0.

Ha!

British Pass-Agg is code for "Etiquette" right?

I'm pretty sure it's when a know it all sends a PR with your code completely erased and replaced with a different code base that actually works.

Here's the webkit project (most often associated with Safari), discussing the use of ECH:

github.com/WebKit/stand...

The Webkit engine doesn't care, it should support it fine. But Apple/Safari team need to actually do the work. No comment publicly I've seen.

It is there in the TLS stack itself.

However, if you're having issues with specific apps, its up to the dev to dig in and implement.

Nice strop.

If we skeet you instead, what kind of block do we get?

Which makes sense.

It’s a click bait title. The article acknowledges that nuclear weapon procedures were never invoked. It also states that Chinese intelligence determined that there may be an attack; which Miley denied.

He didn’t launch them last time despite all the rhetoric. Though he definitely got into a measuring contest with the DPRK which had me playing with this too much.

They are definitely not built with consumer repairability in mind. I had to fix something in the series s and one point, and some of the required maneuvers were nerve racking to execute.

A fun mix:

* An octave effect + Fuzz + Overdrive

Some control tips:

- Volume low on guitar
- Amp cranked

The amp makes 90% of your tone, so letting it run at full performance will yield best results.

Bad enough that FBI / CISA say use something else. From Apple itself - not encrypted.

Which brings me back to, at best a billionaire who is 100% ethical is crazy good at keeping a clean ship and the dollar amount is neutral. For every degree of ethical violation and dollar made, the realized corruption is amplified. To y’all’s point -> that seems pretty improbable.
December 7, 2024 at 1:12 AM
And our attempts at making our selves in some of those situations are laughable too. Turns out “fair trade” branding doesn’t actually mean ethical.

The conversation needs to be about identifying those evil practices and making them fiscally poor options to doing the right thing.

But we’re also starting to enter into the point of where the capitalist society is supposed to be putting power in people.

We buy clothes, coffee, tea, made in <developing country> goods where we know the share of wealth is not proportionate. We create the demand for cheap over ethical.
December 7, 2024 at 12:54 AM
I would hope so with such an alluring name tag ;)

And that can be true too. I specifically don’t bring up Apple with their forced labor, Microsoft with their insane legal issues since forever. There are huge issues with tech, fashion, etc.

That said, once IPO is done and growth stops, then we start to see the kinds of anti-personnel activities that tech is infamous for. Getting there ethically is possible. Staying ethical, odds are poor.

Eg 2004 Google and Larry page.

Having been in security tech startup - it’s a regular enough occurrence for a start up to hit a billion dollar valuation and by association make their founder a dollar poor billionaire. It’s not an impossible number to hit, and it doesn’t require a villain mentality.
December 7, 2024 at 12:40 AM
Hell, even a “measley” millionaire who took advantage of a small town or is a proud “slumlord” is something that by all means should not exist. The number is the wrong thing to vilify.
December 7, 2024 at 12:29 AM
The issue I have is with calling an arbitrary number unethical. The number alone means shit. You can take all the same arguments and apply it to someone with $500MM net worth and it’s the same issue. Even at half the fiscal scale, the level of impact is significant.

I implemented websockets for a modular AI chat proxy and it was great. I don’t think their burden is required in most cases, but it’s nice when you do need it.

Love my katana. But, I would recommend getting the 100 if you want all the key features.
