3x256? Weird, perculiar number.

The post says that "Sign in with Apple" will issue emails on @private.icloud.com but "Hide my email" will continue issuing addresses on @icloud.com

These are two separate services. The problem was with the latter not the former. If the service decides to block @private.icloud.com they might as well remove Apple's sign in button.

Technically proficient users can figure out their own solutions for throwaway emails e.g. aforementioned Fastmail.

> You assume that the domain is used by one person or what?

Yes. It's not a guarantee but you can identify several strong signals that suggest that.

> point is to prevent spam

also yes

Does it need to though? After so many years I can assume the program is complete as in there aren't any bugs left that need fixing and there aren't any new features needed in the scope of the program

Moreover, many websites now only allow login via state-affiliated identity providers and if you're one of those people that prefer email you're forced to use .ru email that is, in turn, requires validation via mobile phone, and it is now illegal to have an anonymous SIM card.

Basically, any online forum user can be _trivially_ tracked down to a real person. What a great day to be a hacker really.

Sometimes you can't even rely on harness not allowing ai to access certain files. "Oh, user doesn't want me to use `read_file` on .env? Well how about I run `cat .env` then?"

That's scary. Really should run it under different user with carefully assigned permissions.

jokes on you my Albania hacking project is called "a1bania"

Isn't it wasteful? I know it's a "tiny" vm but still is a vm

iOS has the thing they call “time-sensitive notifications” which is a flag you put when submitting notification that is supposed to be Really Important Right Now. Unfortunately it’s not easy to mute everything that is not time-sensitive

Wonder how extensively VBA is used in today's Excel. I know that macros are considered dangerous but would love to know if there are exceptions for that rule.

On the other hand I wonder why aren't they run in such a sandbox where the most destructive action they can do is to wipe the sheets.

I believe red and black theme is an artistic choice. Sadly, readability suffers from this choice. Just making the text bold makes it a lot better while preserving its spirit.

Easy:

- know ip ranges of popular cloud providers and deny service. Not bulletproof but enough to make it a pain in the ass so people don’t bother

- make it illegal to offer this kind of service for the purpose of evading location detection. Put pressure on Apple and Google, force them to remove vpn apps

You guys need to start reading on Russia's war on internet and treat it as a cautionary tale

I can’t relate to that, I’ve also struggled with this decision for quite some time, but I’ve gotten used to it. What I hate is that it doesn’t open several search tabs if I need to look for several things at once.

I really don't understand what the issue is? Gatekeeper is merely a warning that introduces a minimal friction if what are you trying to run is created by an entity that chose not to present itself. It only happens once per application, not per launch. I've spent more time reading this thread than I have removing quarantine flags in the last five years.

Apple has a lot to be criticized for but gatekeeper (and SIP) isn't that.
