I’ve definitely seen IKEA products with bad reviews.

I’m in the Netherlands.

If it’s in the ToS, then it’s not true that “[they] weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data”.

Middle ground is ISP DNS, right?

Which home routers can resolve recursively instead of needing upstream DNS? I’ve never seen this across many brands of home routers.

Your ISP publishes T&Cs and a privacy policy too.

Furthermore, your ISP’s resolver is probably in your ISP’s network, so your queries don’t have to go out through peering/transit.

The Netherlands actually explicitly set aside spectrum in the 4G auctions to be auctioned off to new market entrants (besides the established T-Mobile, Vodafone, and KPN), leading to the entry of Tele2 (until then an MVNO) and Ziggo/UPC (until then cable ISPs and MVNOs) into the market.

However, a few years down the line, Tele2 ended up in a merger with T-Mobile (now Odido), and Ziggo/UPC/Vodafone went through mergers to end up as VodafoneZiggo.

Firefox is free, none of its users are paying for it.

No, contrary to you and GP, the stable version of Firefox for Android (on the Google Play Store) supports all Firefox extensions, including ad blockers.

There was a short period in the switch-over from Fennec (old FF for Android) to Fenix (new FF for Android) when the stable version didn’t support all extensions, but this hasn’t been the case anymore for years now.

Huh? The average Quad9 user is probably a tech-savvy person who cares about online privacy and/or malware protection (Quad9 blocks known malicious domains).

The average burglar probably isn’t cross-referencing DNS statistics.

Quad9 (the subject of this post) already offers ‘threat blocking’ by default.

I don’t think many people judge cities by their malls.

Warsaw and New York absolutely do not have the same look to them. (Haven’t been to Dubai to compare.)

That’s impossible, because your reply was posted 19 hours ago, while the one I linked was posted 1 hour ago :)

Is Hacker News only for experienced coders who are already familiar with the inner workings of the ‘cloud’?

I’d like to think that this forum is also a place for the proverbial high school kid, who’s just learned JavaScript and deployed their first site to Vercel using their school Chromebook, to learn a thing or two from the greybeards.

I’m sure you knew that your code was running on computers somewhere even when you first started and wasn’t running in a literal “cloud”.

Meh, I just knew that the browser would display HTML if I wrote it, and that uploading the HTML files made them available on my domain. I didn’t really think about where the files went, specifically.

Try asking an average high school kid how cloud storage works. I doubt you’ll get any further than ‘I make files on my Google Docs and then they are saved there’. This is one step short of ‘well, the files must be on some system in some data center’.

I really disagree that “people who come on HN and say “there is no such thing as serverless and there are servers somewhere” think they are sounding smart when they are adding nothing to the conversation.” On the contrary, it’s an invitation to beginning coders to think about what the ‘serverless’ abstraction actually means.

I’ve discovered tons of music through the YouTube algorithm over the past 15ish years, and it’s definitely not all ‘similar to what [I] have seen’.

Why would everyone know that? Not everyone has experience in sysops, especially not beginners.

E.g. when I first started learning webdev, I didn’t think about ‘servers’. I just knew that if I uploaded my HTML/PHP files to my shared web host, then they appeared online.

It was only much later that I realized that shared webhosting is ‘just’ an abstraction over Linux/Apache (after all, I first had to learn about those topics).

Flying isn’t named after flies, they both come from the same root.

They can, but do they care to?

They’re making an overwhelming share of their revenue on ‘data center’, so I doubt they’re desperate to shake up their gaming business.

But it sounds like this is not really meaningfully true outside of France, then?

Here in the Netherlands, there isn’t any such thing as an ‘autism benefit’ or ‘ADHD benefit’. Only if your condition is so debilitating as to make you unfit for work, then there is a benefit that you could apply for, but not in all circumstances, and only if an unemployment doctor is convinced by your case.

Ah, I see. I think the ‘label’ (ugh – what a terribly awful way to describe a diagnosis) and the beatings are orthogonal, though.

In my parents’ time in a (then) Dutch colony, nobody was diagnosed with anything (that was only for crazies), but all the men knew how being hit with a belt felt (daughters were spared, from what I’ve been told). Self-medicating with alcohol and beating your kids if they ‘misbehaved’ was just the done thing, as far as I’ve been told.

This is to say that anyone who showed (what we would now identify as) neurodivergent behaviour probably would’ve been beaten, but this then wouldn’t have precluded them from going on to start a family and business (and maybe beat their own kids).

Actually, this is probably still how it works in many parts of the world. Even here in the Netherlands, beating your children was only outlawed as recently as 2007.

but like grinding everyone into poverty and pushing the world into avoidable war is just, how the world works.

Even the Romans went to war and held slaves, so that seems true enough to me.

Sorry, but are you arguing that autistic folks can’t be part of a community, farm, or build a family?
