California enacts law giving consumers ability to universally opt out of data sharing

0 CommentsEntertainment

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday signed a bill which requires web browsers to make it easier for Californians to opt-out of allowing third parties to sell their data. The California Consumer Privacy Act, signed in 2018, gave Californians the right to send opt-out signals, but major browsers have not had to make opt-outs simple to use. The bill signed Wednesday would require them to set up an easy-to-find mechanism that lets Californians opt-out with the push of a button, instead of having to do so repeatedly when visiting individual websites. Privacy and consumer rights activists have been nervously waiting…

Image by Annie Ruygt We know. Our Twitter got owned. We knew within moments of it happening. We know exactly how it happened. Nothing was at risk other than our Twitter account (and one Fly.io employee’s self-esteem). Also: for fuck’s sake. Here’s what happened: Kurt Mackey, our intrepid CEO, got phished. Had this been an impactful attack, we would not be this flippant about it. For this, though, any other tone on our part would be false. How They Got Kurt Two reasons: one, it was a pretty good phishing attack, and two, Twitter fell outside the “things we take…

You can view the last 1,000 hands I played here: https://poker.rchase.comI spent at least as much time reviewing my hands with a desktop app called PokerTracker 4, I read 6 books, studied strategy, and journaled about it my Apple Notes.Then I started building my own Python script automations to export my hand history from PokerStars, import it into PokerTracker 4, check my balance, stuff like that.That led me to getting help writing code from Grok, then Cursor,…

A few things to know before stealing my 914

0 CommentsEntertainment

Dear Thief, Welcome to my Porsche 914. I imagine that at this point (having found the door unlocked) your intention is to steal my car. Don’t be encouraged by this; the tumblers sheared off in 1978. I would have locked it up if I could, so don’t think you’re too clever or that I’m too lazy. However, now that you’re in the car, there are a few things you’re going to need to know. First, the battery is disconnected, so slide-hammering my ignition switch is not your first step. I leave the battery disconnected, not to foil hoodlums such as…

Run Windows Apps on Linux with Seamless Integration

How does it compare to WinApps? With WinApps you do the bulk of the setup manually, and there's no cohesive interface to bring it all together. There's a basic TUI, a taskbar widget, and some CLI commands for you to play with.WinBoat does all the setup once you have the pre-requisites installed, displays everything worth seeing in a neat interface for you, and acts like a complete experience. No need to mess with configuration files, no need to memorize a dozen CLI commands, it just works. What are the advantages of using this over CrossOver or WINE? You can run…

The death of competition spells doom for regulation. Competition is an essential component of effective regulation, for two reasons: First, competition keeps the companies within a sector from all telling the same lie to its regulators. Second, competition erodes companies’ profits and thus starves them of the capital they need to overpower or outmaneuver their regulators.Article continues after advertisement While not all regulation is wise or helpful, a world without regulation is a catastrophe. That’s because, in a highly technological world, your ability to do well (or even to live out the day) requires that you correctly navigate innumerable highly…

GitHub Will Prioritize Migrating to Azure Over Feature Development

0 CommentsEntertainment

After acquiring GitHub in 2018, Microsoft mostly let the developer platform run autonomously. But in recent months, that’s changed. With GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke leaving the company this August, and GitHub being folded more deeply into Microsoft’s organizational structure, GitHub lost that independence. Now, according to internal GitHub documents The New Stack has seen, the next step of this deeper integration into the Microsoft structure is moving all of GitHub’s infrastructure to Azure, even at the cost of delaying work on new features. In a message to GitHub’s staff, CTO Vladimir Fedorov notes that GitHub is constrained on capacity in…
