The full title (”Age verification for social media – the beginning of the end for a free internet?”) was too long to submit as is, hence the slight editorialization.
Recent? Unless you mean the notification, sending yourself a message has been possible for a long time. Just to make sure I know what I'm talking about I checked the conversation history with myself and the earliest messages are from 2016.
And yet I still can not get any of the more "advanced" features (like predictive text) for my native language keyboard.
It's been, what, at least five years(?) since predictive text was launched. I never expected to be the first to be supported, but starting to feel a bit ridiculous when some languages with a few tens of percents more speakers have had support from nearly the start.
Meanwhile third party keyboards have had support for ages. I'd rather use the stock keyboard, but can't bear it in its current state.
It is not, and doesn't even try to be, a Reddit replacement, but https://tildes.net has impressed me with its quality of discussion. More akin to HN, but with a subreddit-like system to facilitate a wider range of topics than is usually found here.
As a metal music listener with fond memories of Guitar Hero, I’ve enjoyed Ragnarock a ton.
You play as the drummer on a viking boat, hitting the notes (similar to GH) to the tune of power metal. Nice workout, especially if you really get into it and start exaggerating your movements.
Not sure what your source for ”doesn’t support 3rd party software” is, so it’s unclear what that actually means, but there are numerous examples on Andreas’ YouTube channel about porting software to Serenity, e.g. Diablo [1].
Maybe the text you read refers to the OS itself and all first party software being written without external dependencies?
I scanned the last couple months of their blog posts and could not find anything to support that claim. The docs or pricing page don’t seem to indicate anything like that either.
The only related thing I found was that free accounts are limited to one user that can trigger deploys in private repos, while anyone can trigger deploys in public repos (assuming I understood the announcement correctly).
I think that is meant to be parsed as: Just like you can't check if the fridge light is on without opening the door (which of course turns it on), it's hard to know if a system is resilient to failure without having one. It just might be that there hasn't been a situation that would cause a failure.
Some Minecraft mods add items that force the game to keep certain chunks loaded. From the casual "Can't you just" I assume the parent meant those. It is however also possible, but much more complicated, to force the game to keep chunks loaded in Vanilla Minecraft. [0]

Aside, but for those like me who can't help but wonder: EBT (I believe) stands for electronic benefit transfer, apparently an electronic payment method issued by welfare departments in the USA.
The Battle of B-R was surpassed recently by the Battle of M2-XFE, the largest (by ISK value destroyed) battle of the ongoing world war. While B-R saw a total of ~80 Titans die, in M2 each side lost more than that.
I tested it with the ”Welcome back” equivalent in Finnish, German, French and Chinese. None of those languages caused the autofill interface to show up.
Safari is in Finnish on my phone, and I used the phrase ”Tervetuloa takaisin” to test. For the other languages I used whatever Google Translate suggested.
It seems they are fetching the comments from the Hacker News Algolia index. Curiously they seem to un-sanitize the comment content before inserting it to the page DOM as one of the sibling comments proves.
The Algolia index contains the comments encoded as HTML entities, so they should be safe to insert as is, but seems like the page is first converting it back to HTML, which causes the script and span tags to render as HTML instead of text like here on HN.
I believe the commenter meant that only the build server should be able to write to the build artifact repository, so ”write access from the build server” would be correct.
