Semi related, but has anyone else noticed a massive surge in Meetup comment spam in the last few months? All my local groups are pumping out spam, mostly offering work from home employment opportunities. I keep wondering what has changed.
Yep I have been in one group for years then in the last month I start getting spam emails from comments on the group
This is really bad. I think that most people on HN will agree with that.
The problem is that most normal people (HN is not normal - mostly for the better) don't even understand what sideloading is - let alone actually care.
How can we fix this?
(aside from making people care - apathy enables so many political problems in the current age, but it's such a huge problem that this definitely isn't going to be the impetus to fix it)
We need another os in the market. A duopoly just isn't competitive enough. Too bad the cost of entry is so high.
Yeah if this goes ahead I'm going back to my feature phone

Okay so we just need another company to release a nice phone and release the device tree right?

From https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/ -
> Google did not publish any device-specific source code for supported, modern Pixel devices.
> In previous years, Google released full device trees alongside new Android versions. This allowed developers to build and boot AOSP on Pixel hardware relatively easily.
> With Android 16, only the platform/framework code has been released. The device trees are missing, at least for now.
> This means AOSP 16 cannot currently be built or run on any recent Pixel device easily just using official source. It’s unclear whether this is a delay or a policy change. Either way, it seriously disrupts custom ROM development and our porting efforts.
That's awful. I bought a pixel because the ecosystem around alternative android roms was healthy. This seems to change that.
Why can't I just get a general purpose computer in my pocket? Why is everything so hostile? I am willing to pay!

> The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because, in some places, the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is broad and evolving. As an example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”
THANK YOU California for this definition of selling data, which is accurate, and representative of what people think of when discussions of selling data come up.
> In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners
Ok, so that’s pretty straightforward. According to CA and other states Mozilla is collecting and selling your data. Which is exactly what everyone is upset about and means exactly what everyone thought it meant.
I was under the impression that selling anonymised data would also fall under this category. Either way we need more transparency here.

Dumb question but why /do/ browsers move quick? Surely we are nearing feature complete. Is it just the complexity of the task? I'm sure there are lots of awful bugs.

So many good options here.
Vimium is the gateway drug to the fantastic qutebrowser (more integration and customisation, scripting, based on qtwebkit/engine).
I just want to say thank you for mentioning qutebrowser. I'd never heard of it before and I'm now hooked.
I only recently watched this series and found it very entertaining. But I never expected it to be very accurate. It's definitely been dramatized for TV. I definitely didn't get an anti-nuclear sentiment from the show, I mostly think they were trying to portray a negative view of Soviet Bureaucracy.
