I’m curious as to how this manifests when advanced security is enabled. Advanced security on iCloud is supposed to make photos and many other services e2ee.

I logged into Telegram today to this update from Durov. It reads like a bunch of hogwash from someone who is hiding something. They are eyeing investor funding soon, right? (EDIT: eyeing an IPO https://www.techopedia.com/news/telegram-eyes-ipo-as-it-aims-to-become-profitable-in-2025) A lot of things seem to be coinciding with him slinging mud about his competitors.

Respectfully, punching down does nothing but make people who are suffering feel worse. Posting here about how much better you have it than us isn’t helpful. We already know how messed up it is here.

Join us man. It really is awesome.

I pay for Kagi and it works better than Google. Nobody is astroturfing for them, you’re just paranoid.

Yep, I use Kagi as well. Great results!

Do you also think laws requiring you to wear a seatbelt is “neo-fascist?”

Only if you’re not using AARCH64 based containers. At my job, we leverage the appropriate containers and performance is insanely good.

So you DO get my point, yeah? Elephants in the room should be considered first and foremost. Drinking non-paper filtered coffee every day is trivial to your risks of getting cancer compared to so many other things in our environment. I hope it clicks for you. :)

Developers are often the ones setting up the environments now via things like Terraform. IT is still needed for on-prem work though.

This isn’t accurate. Outsourcing tech jobs has been a thing since the 90s. It rarely works at scale which is why it never stuck around. It’s just as risky today as it was back then.

French press and espresso, IMO, taste far better than pourover with paper. I also prefer metal mesh with pourover, as it allows for more of the oils to seep into the carafe. But it’s just a matter of opinion. :)

Remember the whole trail of paper carbon impacts! Trees get cut to make them. Then they have to be cut/manufactured in a big factory, which uses energy. Then shipped to your stores, using gasoline. Finally you throw them away where they sit in a landfill (the most negligible part).

Though to be clear, you’re still correct that the carbon impact is negligible compared to like… big oil and cow farms. So you’re right on that front. :) Worrying about the negligible is not worth anyones time when there is an elephant in the room.

Taste, environmental friendliness. Just to name a few. Feel free to ignore my comments if you don’t like them.

This is a great example of a “micro optimization.” It feels good but ultimately does jack shit to help you.

There are studies suggesting adding paper filters to coffee increases bad cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease kills more people than cancer every year. Whoops? Brussel sprouts ever so slightly elevate your chances of getting cancer. Anything with an ethyl in it does too.

All of this to say, pick better risks to worry about. Everything is a tradeoff. Better chance you die in a freak car accident rather than developing cancer from drinking coffee that was filtered without paper. It is not worth the fuss.

Sports.

This happens over and over again with Windows so I don’t really take any of these articles seriously. People will migrate to either 11 or whatever comes next. All the kicking and screaming in the world won’t be able to stop them. How long are tech folks going to repeat this cycle?

You can use Ecobee’s cameras with HomeKit secure video. Just block the cameras from being able to talk to the internet via firewall first.

This is a blazingly hot take but you are entirely correct, and people need to hear it. People will scream “FUCK SPEZ” while logging in to 400 different reddit tabs daily and continuing to feed a corrupt (and soon to be) corporate entity.

I’d be more upset if this was something actually important like a government website or something people’s lives depend on, but yeah, it’s not. It’s just entertainment. Folks need to move on.

Same boat. Need those concrete reviews this time around.

EDIT: my comment got eaten and I don’t want to type it again.

TLDR: I had the FW 11 gen and it was not good with Linux when it came to being a laptop. Sleep was fundamentally broken due to hardware issue.
