I am on desktop and saw no such warning, but I'm also using adblockers and noscript.

It's a Wordpress site, probably hacked. Some Wordpress exploits only try to target 'high value' user agents like iPhones.

The domain for the org has expired and now it's a parking hosts. I don't know how maintained it is.

Postgresml closed up shop, the guy you're replying to was one of the key players there. Pgrx is trucking right along, and gaining speed at the moment.

What the heck is happening on this site with the pointer disappearing? For some reason the body tag has "cursor: none" which is never good.


The traditional cursor is so 2025. It's predictable. Familiar. old.

AI is the future, so we need cursors of the future that simulate the frustrating lag and imprecision of LLMS. Dots chase other little dots around and do inscrutable little animations.

Actual answer: You need javascript to see their dumb custom cursor.


I didn't read much of the page - just was scrolling a bit to see what the fuck that thing is doing, and that was more than enough to know that I'll never touch whatever those people are doing.


No, educating customers doesn't work. What works is creating safe products. Remove algorithm recommendations as the default option, make collecting personal individual data for any purpose other than what the customer explicitly wants, and you will see that suddenly "social networks" and every other product becomes safe to use for everyone.


Facebook was fine as long as posts appeared chronologically. The moment they started ranking it -- game over.


If you're upset at collecting personal individual data, you're really going to love what these social media bans require in practice.

I don't disagree we need to look at algorithmic recommendations as a major issue, but these social media bans are not that. The fact they are all being brought about globally at the same time suggests some ulterior motives.

Fundamentally, the idea you're going to hide your kid from social media until some arbitrary age, require the entire populace to register identification when visiting any website, and then open the floodgates on these kids at 16 is absolutely moronic. Two years of brain development doesn't suddenly make them learn how to be responsible with it.

As much as Europe wants to abdicate their parenting responsibilities to the state, at some point you have to draw the line and own up to some level of personal responsibility for raising your children.

You can't hide your kids from reality if you want to raise strong, independent and actualized children who will make good choices.

Which is why is also not a solution. Both are bad solutions because we drag our feet into creating safe products for everyone.


I don’t think it’s dragging feet so much as sprinting towards maximising profit above all else


It's the war on drugs all over again ...


Yeah, but many of those self-identify as anti-social rather than biased.


They are entrenched enough that it's wrote off as cost of doing business. Big business have their internal instances so they are "insulated", everyone else isn't as critical and have the resources to do an internal solution or move.


Org instances have been affected by these outages too. Including the one today


They have on-prem / dedicated instances? I thought that microsoft only offered that through their Azure DevOps git offering.


GitHub Enterprise has existed for a while: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.20/admin/over...

I'm pretty sure it still does - I used it at a previous job and at somewhere that I interviewed recently they said they used GitHub (given their size and being a somewhat regulated industry I can't imagine they rely on github.com).


How many milliseconds do you think this page took to render? I usually click and it's already done.


HN is not the most complex website rendering wise by any imaginable metric. I presume HN renders equally as fast on lynx or Mosaic from 1994...


HN is a fast site (comparatively; most websites are unnecessarily slow). It’s a bad measurement.


HN is a good website. Ebay is another good example where JavaScript is optional but with good functionality. Marko was mocked, but now Astro is cool because they invented ssr...


Lets all get together and self-reflect on the bozos way.


> don't use debian for gaming, as it is too far behind

I use Debian stable on my laptop and testing on desktop. It is fine. Only the newest games that need a specific 0 day patch may suffer a bit but that's only for 1-2 weeks even on testing. You want a stable system first, then to unlock the full performance out of everything, and most bleeding edge fail in the former and are a coin toss on the later.


Think hardware also plays a big role. If you have a new AMD GPU, you'll likely highly benefit from mainline or close-to-it kernel


It's about oversampling. Due how the survey is sent, a massive influx of machines coming online all at once will be more likely to trigger the survey. They know the general composition of their users, so they need the survey to be around the ballpark of that.


They are still only reporting the data they see. They are not correcting or manipulating the data like phoronix implies in their article.
