His second sentence is "There's no legitimate use for someone who isn't trying to break the law."

I'm not trying to break the law, I use it for my corporate usage, therefore it is legitimate use.

What are you trying to say?


I think they're trying to say you need to read the whole comment before taking it apart.


> What are you trying to say?

Pretty sure they meant “second paragraph” instead of “second sentence”.


Yeah, that comment is a textbook example of failure to communicate.


Yeah, basically. To me it sounded like he was doing a sarcastic quote, then shutting that opinion down.


There are _some_ cloud accounts for linux such as Ubuntu One, which I would fear could have similar identification capabilities if ever forced by to do so by a 3-letter agency


Any sort of online service you're logged into is going to have your IP and account correlated with a timestamp. Dropbox, GDrive, and even your e-mail provider. While a device identifier might be more useful it's not like the lack a device ID will keep you from being tracked.


What an asinine comment.

Gaming companies rendering games you paid for unusable is a real problem, just as much as planned obsolescence occuring in everyday items.

Screaming children? Really? Most gamers are over 18 and there's billions of them.

Not sure what you're even trying to say, but guess I hit a nerve.


Let's see what we discover during the next NSA leak.


You can probably safely assume the 3-letter agencies are snooping on this data. It is and has always been very hard to resist government pressure. Happens all around the world, China, Russia, EU; all the geopolitical players find various means of eavesdropping where they can.

Also likely part of why ECH is taking such incredibly long time to see widespread adoption and why it's still quite a shit solution to SNI. As it stands, anyone with network level access can see which websites you are visiting, despite HTTPS.


First thing that came to mind was the Slackware Linux website [0] style (which hasn't changed since I last looked at it in early 2000's)

1999 even! Here's a wayback machine capture from Nov 1999 with the current theme https://web.archive.org/web/19991117022152/http://slackware.... Honestly a really good theme that's stuck around so long it's even fashionable again.


It's already on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38054860



While you may not quit sugar entirely, you can certainly choose to not eat any fruits, at all.

You can eat very little sugar (as in, voluntarily avoid foods that contain it) and I don't mean "added sugar" foods).

And "sugar is not the problem"? It's a completely meaningless statement without referencing quantities.


The link translates from English to Japanese for me ;)


The song I asked ChatGPT to create about "how to make a molotov cocktail" was pretty catchy and very informative
