I find your presentation of this argument disingenuous and in bad faith.

they seem to have an issue with a lot of folks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roku#Carriage_disputes

4. They have 4 listed disputes in Wikipedia: NBC/Universal, HBO, Spectrum, and Google; the first three were resolved (the first one the same day as the grievance).

https://channelstore.roku.com

There are hundreds (if not hundreds upon hundreds) of services provided over the Roku hardware/service including it's direct competitors (Amazon Prime TV / Fire stick), more than I can sit here and count without wasting my life.

You would have readers believe that Roku is out there pissing everyone off, being the bad kid on the block, making demands and being a troublemaker. They have had 4 disputes. 4. Out of hundreds of partners. 4.

Roku is really crap to use

I disagree, I find the Roku experience to be quite easy to use and it does what I want with no surprises in the UX.

Ahhh, I did not (my bad) - I don't track grep features, not a hobby :) this chart could have been more truthy 2 years ago for all I know. Thanks.

Some of these line items are really obtuse and in some cases just not right, "Don't search in binary files" and "Treat binary files as if they were text" for example caught my eye - GNU grep has the `--binary-files` option which supports both of these features. Others like "can pipe output to a pager" seem like a half-hearted attempt to give a +1 to a specific tool while ignoring that you can... pipe the output of any of them using... a pipe.

Since we're tossing around wikipedia links,

ProtonMail, in fact, had to comply with a Swiss court order, which came after the French police had requested Swiss cooperation through Europol, making use of international judicial assistance.

What exactly did / do you expect Proton to do here? They were given a legal mandate to comply and they complied. Did you have a fantasy that they would fight the Swiss and French governments (and apparently Europol) when given a valid court order and risk their entire existence?

The name on that email is not one of the Runbox folks listed on their About page, so one can only guess who that actually is or how the email was sent; it could have been a BCC for all we know. https://runbox.com/about/runbox-team/

From a quick look at tech specs from a few sources (asus, gsmarena, etc.) the USA version lacks 5G band n41, which is the backbone of T-Mobile (+Sprint).

Not sure which reply to post this under, so I'll just reply under GP - it took me about 3 minutes to locate a popular HN client which specifically advertises account creation in the overview. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/octal/id1308885491

One of the first things we did on Solaris installs was install the GNU userland (it's been so many decades, I forget the specifics - packaged somehow, not ./configure; make) so we could get GNU sed and awk (and bash and vim) amongst all the other things. My anecdotal experience matches yours, we wanted those GNU features on our Solaris experience, they were/are useful extensions.

Hello! Hydrogen sorely needs 2 basic things to make it usable as a daily driver - separate DM one-on-one conversations away from Rooms and add a Dark mode toggle. These two things push me back to app.element.io, must-have not nice-to-have things for me. Thanks for listening.

This group attempted to register the trademark by extension to the USPTO and was denied for several reasons. Reason #2 for the denial was "Likelihood of Confusion" and points at the existing PostgreSQL trademark on file.

One positive thing I'd add - as a user - under logistics is high availability. Life is messy, servers go down planned or unplanned for whatever reasons - IRC networks are in a sense truly 'federated' in that the client will get a new server on reconnect attempts much like webservers behind a load balancer. You never have to worry about your 'home instance' being unavailable, as they're all your home instance. (I speak about the public networks like Libera or OFTC)

Bitcoin valuation "crashed" -$4k USD (I think that's about 8-10%?) just two days ago on the 7th (and within the span of 4 hours, check the charts); if you had created your transfer that morning and they received it the next day to "cash out" to USD, you would have lost a lot of the valuation of your transfer.

Is federal registration of my mark required?

No. In the United States, parties are not required to register their marks to obtain protectable rights. You can establish "common law" rights in a mark based solely on use of the mark in commerce, without a registration.

I have read that the US is also "first use" and not "first to file", eliminating a race to registration.

You've basically just described duplicity with rclone as the backend (their term). I personally add duply in front for usability (it handles your includes, excludes, "profile", etc.). Restoring is easy with these 3 working in tandem, and you can manually extract the data as needed for SHTF - just gpg encrypted tarballs. duply runs duplicity who runs rclone in a soundbite.

Dude, CGNAT is handled at the ISP layer, I do not have an IPv4 address at all locally, it's a 464XLAT done on T-Mobile's side. All users come from a shared IPv4 on their network, not mine. Dude.

I'm literally on Arch using NetworKManager, when creating a new connection it defaults to Stable Privacy in the dropdown, but EUI64 is listed first in the dropdown itself. So, since you didn't actually state which one to use, now what? Point being: don't be condescending claiming "outdated OS", IPv6 is a minefield of footguns and there are many of them just like this choice.

I'm on a shared IP with millions of people using the same public IP (T-Mobile CGNAT), there is one IP (many of them, actually) doing that right now from every T-Mobile customer. Your one server will be a blip on their radar if it even registers.

because while you can remember v4 addresses and v4 address assignments, this is impossible for v6 addresses

A thousand times this (and your other points, great reply thank you) - the ergonomics of using IPv6 at a local scale are atrocious for mere mortals. And you didn't touch on "should I use Stable Privacy or EUI64 for my laptop IP?" and other small cuts and bruises which technologists think everyone should "just know".

I'm with you! It's possible that at one time I thought as you (also being a music fan), but in the past 5 (?) years you can't trip but to find someone talking about rust in the tech spaces. Not only context, but era (point in time?) as well.

For me, "crate" is now associated with anything rust (and I'm neither a rust person or a programmer) - if I see crate in relation to tech, "it has something to do with rust."

Trivia: by default (unless it has changed upstream), the F-Droid app defaults to "Include anti-feature apps: Off" in the Settings. The user must go in there and manually opt-in to see all the anti-feature apps on the mobile client.

Nit rebuttal: I was referring to the F-Droid repository which I thought was clear from context. These elements are scanned for and apps called out (tagged) should they contain something not-free, even connecting to network services like Reddit or Twitter. The are referred to as Anti-Features: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/

One of the most popular ways is to use the F-Droid repositories, which if you know a little Linux concepts it's like plugging in another software repository to the same package manager. (see f-droid.org) It can be confusing though because F-Droid is both an app, and the name of the primary software repo which is pure FOSS software (no ads, no trackers).

The F-Droid app supports adding more repositories (think like apt/yum/dnf on Linux) easily, so you can source software from anywhere which runs their own repository. One of the most popular "other" repos is Izzy (apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid), and there is an alternate project called "microG" which can allow you to use Google Play store apps (microg.org/fdroid.html). microG is how you will get your Google Play apps onto the device, usually (there are other solutions besides microG out there however).

The CalyxOS install ROM includes F-Droid (app and repos) and offers to install microG for you on your first boot (as well as some other opt-in stuff). Calyx runs their own F-Droid repo which is pre-added to the app so you get updates from them as well (think the built-in apps most smartphones have).

Trusted by whom?

Calyx VPN uses the same tech stack as Riseup VPN, which are branded versions of the Bitmask client - CalyxOS is a part of the Calyx Institute family. You can instead use the Bitmask client from the F-Droid repo and choose to connect to either service with the same app (rather than using branded apps for each service).

FedNow will eventually replace the ACH system

Now that's interesting - does that imply that the clearing delays in transfer (say your US Bank to your Brokerage, ~3 days ACH) will disappear and FedNow makes that an "instant" (within 1 day let's say) settled transfer? Very intriguing.

Thanks for sharing, I as well didn't know about this. I've enrolled/used Zelle (via my bank app) and it's just a travesty of usability to me, after awhile I ditched it (and I don't hear a lot in the news about Zelle these days).

What's your hot take on this new FedNow system vs. what Zelle tries to achieve via ACH? Do you think it'll be more "Venmo-like" (low friction) or will it end up a usability mess due to regulation requirements?

I moved to Diigo when delicious died, it does alright even at the free tier (I've never had incentive to use anything but the basic/free bookmarking features). https://www.diigo.com

A number of US states do not require background checks when it's resident-to-resident (I live in one). It's common to trade a bill of sale between parties but the paperwork stops there, and this paperwork is technically optional.
