I'd like to answer the closing question

> At what point does a commercial software suite become malware?

The vast majority of commercial software is malware.

I really hope you'll find something in life to live for that actually benefits people.

Please stop spamming HN wih AI slop.

I found your comment here from another comment of you elsewhere.

HackerNews is not a place for you to puke your AI slop into. Stop doing that. It's against the site rules.

I get trying to find a (better) job and doin this on HN in a threat like this one is fine, but please contribute something of value otherwise instead of just spamming LLM slop.

Same. I found this comment in exactly the same way, and find it equally nauseating.

It is unfortunately normal for companies to impersonate scammers.

We can teach people as much as we want about security against phishing. It won't matter because people have to break these rules constantly. Companies actively train people to fall for phishing by doing everything in their power to be indistinguishable from phishing themselves.

The worst are DHL, UPS, etc. customs payment mails. Even the real ones look like phishing mails and in some cases they don’t link the payment request to your account, so you cannot circumvent it by logging into your account and checking wether it is legit.

Huh, fair enough. I was looking at the network console in the browser and it said 89KB.

Almost certainly my fault...sorry!

Our comments don't really contradict each other. The page size without any linked documents like an external style sheet grew to 140KB after your comment. But just the text is 30KB.

That's only HTML but when it is loaded in chromr it is more than 40 MiB.

It's exactly what Carnegie says not to do.

It's you. Every trader who does not have the insider information loses. That's how markets work after all. They collect information by rewarding the use of information. Anyone who has information and uses it is rewarded and anyone who does not is punished.

Even when you are a passive investor you lose. You essentially buy shares at random points in time. When that point happens to fall between the trading of an insider and the public disclosure of the insider information you will get a worse price for that trade.

It isn't even relevant whether the insider buys stocks or other securities directly or trades in futures instead. All information you enter into the market through trades permeates the whole market through arbitrage regardless of where you enter that information.

Have you tried disabling animations in the System Settings? Some apps respond to that.

Ohhhh trust me, I have, assuming you mean "Disable animations". The three duration scale developer settings too. Thank you for suggesting it, though, just in case.

Some apps do respect it, but sometimes it's hardcoded, and OS settings don't seem to override it. Even the OS doesn't respect it in some cases, but I think it used to. Flutter apps? Forget about it.

certificate transparency logs will give you a lot of that data.
