Are you guys even parents? Because you sure make yourselves sound like experts.
The truth is I know my kids will make absolutely terrible choices if I leave everything up to them. I myself made a lot of bad choices growing up with unsupervised internet access. And on todays web it seems the pitfalls for a curious young person are even deeper and more plentiful. I'm simply trying to spare my kids some of the same problems I suffered by providing some guardrails until they are older and more mature.
If they do that then the GP's rearing of them has failed already. If one hasn't managed to instill at least that minimum of sense into them by the time they're old enough to even contemplate that, then they'll just do it anyway, as soon as their parents unlock the shackles and let them out into the daylight on their 18th or 21st birthday.
It isn't the water molecules passing through the mask from your mouth. Your body is warmer than the air around you most of the year (unless you live in the tropics). It is mostly the heat of your breath passing through the mask, then hitting the cooler surface of the glasses, and making the moisture in the air that is already outside your mask condense on the glasses.
Water particles absolutely are getting through. Yes the glasses are colder and breathe is warmer but it is still the water vapor from the hot moist breath that is the primary source of the water condensate.
While water particles do pass easily, viruses may not as respiratory aerosols are orders of magnitude larger about 1.6-5um vs. water at 0.27nm
I had the original jolla phone. Fun device and great for starting out developing simple apps.
Back then they had a 3rd party whatsapp client called mittäkuuluu (litteraly what's up in finnish) in addition to the official one running through the android layer.
Since then whatsapp has blocked 3rd party clients and i believe youre not able to run whatsapp on the consumer version of sailfish.
Something really cool they had was integration with whatsapp and the facebook messenger with the sms app with contacts synced across the three.
There were even two apps, Mittäkuuluu by coderus, and Whatsup from older Symbian and Meego times. Both worked fine and were lovely to use, untill the company Whatsapp sent threatening letters from their lawyers to the developers.
Whatsapp also often blocked users using those apps (I had it happen multiple times) and you could reactivate your account if you logged in with the official whatsapp.apk again. A few days later the Sailfish apps were updated and I would switch to one of those again :)
So now there is no other option then use the whatsapp.apk, or just not use it and switch completely to Signal.
On HN we try to go by article quality, not site quality. Sites that mostly produce bad and/or offtopic articles for HN sometimes still produce good and ontopic ones sometimes.
We do put a standard downweight on major media sites, though, especially ones focused on politics. politico.com has had that for years, but politico.eu didn't. I've done that now.
Sure you can. You can build up a tolerance, but most people are not mentally prepared to confront graphic violence.
It takes months of hard training for soldiers to be prepared for confronting death. How is a school teacher going to feel after watching a video of a school shooting? Probably not very safe all of a sudden, and that could have long lasting scars even if it wasn't something they personally experienced.
Edit: And while I agree, LiveLeak was a source of truth for news stories, it also was a fetishization for some people. I think in order to truly tackle the legacy of liveleak, we can't ignore that some people watch gore for the gore and not because they want to be more informed citizens. I don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we must confront that reality too.
"most people are not mentally prepared to confront graphic violence"
That's ludicrous. The apex predator on the planet that has violently gained control of the planet and killed trillions of other species including its own kind is not only mentally prepared to confront graphic violence, it is hardwired to conduct graphic violence on both a personal and global scale, things that were published on Liveleak. But don't be hard on yourself, most people make believe and live in a fairy tale world that props up the falsehood of who they really are. Shutting down sites like Liveleak is just another way to perpetuate the fairy tale and hide the ugly truth.
As an apex predator, we don't hunt other humans for food. I'm not sure why you think killing a human is the same as killing a chicken.
We are hardwired as social animals to not kill our same species. It's the exact opposite of what you suggest.
All research shows that humans don't like killing other people. That's what makes Serial Killers so interesting as a topic, because they don't have the instinct to not kill.
Losing your instinct to not kill takes a lot of conditioning.
The problem is that these clips of condensed malevolence has such a disproportionate effect on your outlook on life. I'm almost certain it has made me much more cynical and less trusting in general. In my day to day life in a safe western society, it's been an overwhelmingly bad and unnecessary sort of "hardening".
It's all described in the FAQ[1]. Moreover, there are a lot of different technical decisions to improve stability, packaging experience, user experience, etc. One of the biggest such points - new Projects[2].
No, the FAQ is devoid of substance, it doesn't give any concrete reason for the fork, much less a technical reason. The fork also predates Rizin's new Projects functionality.
> Moreover, there are a lot of different technical decisions to improve stability, packaging experience, user experience, etc.
Such as?
From my minimal experience with the project, it was obvious that interpersonal conflict existed for some time between some of the R2 hackers, so I guess the charitable interpretation of the fork is that you guys for some reason couldn't stand hacking together with Pancake (the creator). I think that being honest about that would have conveyed more credibility than the shady way the fork was executed, full of corporatey PR-speak and overproduced Web pages.
If you would actually read the links I posted there is a number of technical reasons listed:
1. Removal of the unstable, unmaintained code - e.g. WebUI, filesystems mounting (it was based on the ancient GRUB code).
2. Migrating from the copy-pasted code to using Meson subprojects, which made the update easier and packaging effortless.
3. Continuing to use the newshell (tree-sitter-based parser) instead of every command parsing itself manually (old code used giant switch cases that parsed arguments independently for every separate command basically).
4. Not in the FAQ but also the removal of `r_core_cmd()` calls that were calling the commands directly in the code instead of using proper APIs. It's still work in progress but we removed almost a half of such calls and will continue until 99% of them are removed.
5. We also focus on better performance and general ease of use as a library - better code documentation, better APIs, unit and API integration tests.
6. While Projects existed in the original project they were just a sequence of the commands, while Rizin migrated to the completely different concept of snapshot serialization and storing it as a KV (Key-Value) database.
If you compare the code the difference compounded significantly already.
If you're using a password manager, site-specific password requirements are all the more annoying — rather than just letting the PM generate something very secure you have to go in & tweak settings to generate something _less_ random because the website wants "only X characters" or whatever
