You still can, or at least I can.

After login it forwarded me to the new site, but going back has orders, v2 downloads, and stuff.

From what I can tell, Kagi’s Orion browser will let you control app launching.

One and only account (Mojang) that I can think of that I lost because it got taken over, and I couldn’t get support to help fix it (something about “go make another Mojang account”?)… and since I don’t really get the migration process they did or final outcome, it’s more of a “oh well losing that sucks”.

So my very first question, after opening your page, is “what does this get me, if anything, to offset the very large decrease in efficiency vs. the native wireline protocol, given that it’s implemented pretty much everywhere?”

It was still profit-motivated back then, at least in the positive self-interest manner.

The difference is that colleges actually educated students, and students were actually there to learn.

Does NVIDIA really not have a defined support lifetime/cycle?

Non-whitelisted extensions are blocked in Edge, and Edge is the default browser. Chrome/FF are less locked down, more due to incompetence than not trying to be heavy-handed.

…of course, Zscaler with “all Wordpress sites blocked” is also a thing, along with the majority/nearly all of European non-English countries, because god forbid you want to read the emmet docs or something.

This-ish: I was going to say, “define successful”.

Progressive. Enhancement.

Yes, it needs to work, fully, without CSS or JS. Then, use CSS to make it look nicer, and use JS to make it behave nicer.

The total failure of most people who build professional web sites to follow standards and make them pain-free continues to baffle me, when it’s not that hard to do right and helps ensure the site is maintainable going forward, regardless of which new JS library or framework becomes popular.

I don’t even know that I could come up with such a list.

Setting everything to “public”, likewise, has potential implications far beyond a visa, since scraping can happen real fast. Then, things on the Internet live like… more than forever, potentially resurfacing later.

That could be a potential employer, romantic interest, etc.—and just consider how things from 10-20 years ago have already resurfaced for some high-profile individuals, under some new social cause or just attitude change. The same thing can happen to any of us under these circumstances, ready to ruin lives.

Maybe not, but there have been cases of them removing documents from Drive because they weren't politically acceptable, like ... manifestos.

You should assume that anything on "someone else's computer" that you didn't encrypt is or could be read or disclosed any time, and even if you encrypt it be aware that the filename (use a GUID?) or metadata (upload date/time/location/account) can still leak information to some degree.

What alternatives are there, if any? If it’s largely being used for templating, is it even worth using?

I think the issue is more "where is my sane log view? ..local changes view?" without it.

They burned all goodwill when they sold out. There’s no getting it back.

I still am not going to rent software like this. I get why you need MRR or something, but if that’s the case sell me the product-$30? $40?-after a brief trial, and promise a year? the next major version (or at least a year)? of upgrades.

Then don’t cause major versions casually, and charge a reasonable upgrade fee when more value is delivered with a major upgrade.

I get that you have expenses, and things like servers cost money-but you’re not providing the server here.

How are ebooks not “software”, in the sense that they’re bits that instruct a computer to display particular information, when interpreted by something that understands them? If ePub or the Kindle format were defined in hardware-the same way that certain video or audio codecs are-no one could realistically argue that they’re not software, since after all the CPU literally knows how to process them.

And-also-yes, the copyright scam is pretty much over. The marginal cost of another copy is zero, “for a limited time” means “forever minus a day”, and our culture is being stolen from us via inability to preserve it, use it later if we did acquire it “legitimately” but someone no longer feels like running their “permission to have that” servers later, and by being dynamically retconned such that “bad things” are dynamically edited out and, if you remember that they existed, you’re wrong (and getting gaslit over it).

It was basically a “social contract” that, while not everyone agreed with, they mostly admitted “existed”. Not so much now.

Well, and like the venue will take 50% of merch sales or some , which makes Apple look kinda generous.

I think everyone can see that whatever

(imo not in accordance with the Constitution, after absurdities like deciding “limited time” the way mathematicians might define something of some order of infinity)

the alleged social contract was is not functional the way it was intended, and we see who benefits and who loses.

mass dynamic editing for vitriol and profanity occurred while writing this comment in order to remain within site rules

Google Docs is every bit the same hell, they just try to pretend they don’t and since it’s been bloated shit since day one no one wants to admit otherwise.

In the public sector, tbh, the quality of candidates is so bad that everyone you get on the first round of applicants can be totally unqualified.

So, you have to reopen the posting or start all over.

And the second set of candidates is just as bad.

So you close it and rewrite the description (not that fucking HR was competent at that in the first place), and go back to step one, which you are highly likely to repeat.

I think this is the point-when one wanted “easy” parsing and readability for humans, they abandoned binary protocols for JSON; now, people who are finding some performance issue they don’t like are trying to start over and re-learn all the past lessons of why and how binary protocols were used in the first place.

The cost will be high, just like the cost for having to relearn CS basics for non-trivial JS use was/is.

I don’t understand the “automatic” here-yes, reputation takes time to build, but if you run your own mail server with SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up correctly why is the default posture “block it” before there’s any reputation?

Just like other cases, I won’t accept that it’s “just lazy” on the part of big tech companies. They clearly know how to adjust their internal view/reputation of a domain once it starts being used for “misbehaviour” and spam such that they start blocking it.

Thus they could clearly start by not doing so-and, maybe, they’re “really touchy” about domains with no initial “internal score” such that if a new domain pops up and starts spamming people they catch it fast. Its not necessary to break open Internet protocols, though, unless they want the breakage.

Given that I hadn’t heard of half of these, not surprising?

This very much falls into the same box as “not your keys, not your crypto”: if you’re forced to trust someone else to manage the keys for you then they have them - necessarily, in order to permit “transfer” (under this scheme, not everything) to another party - in plaintext, while you’re not allowed to “for your own good”, then you’ve lost it all.

They can: 1. Impersonate you, gaining access to anything your keys unlock 1.a. Impersonate you, claiming to be you in a violation of “key use enables non-repudiation” 2. Deny you the ability to use your keys 2.a. Change any of your keys, locking you out of things 3. Deny you the ability to transfer your keys to anyone they “don’t like” 3. Provide your keys to anyone else, e.g. “with a court order” 3.a. Anyone “benefitting” under (3) can then do (1(a)) …and surely more Bad Things.

Every single time “passkeys” seems to like “okay, maybe”… some fucktards pull another one of these.

Then I go, “okay, ssh keys, PIV, or whatever else is Just Fine, and these people who are either state agents, idiots, or power hungry idiots working to advance total control over humans with lack of freedom and no way back can go die, or as an alternative be sentenced to serious computer-things-reeducation”. …and I kinda mean it. There are certain things you just don’t come back from, as a society, etc. and I just won’t support it. You only get one chance not to.

Wordpress isn’t worth protecting.

Change my mind…

I find this generally unacceptable. The FAA doesn’t need to be providing special services to people who want to alter the rules just because they think they’re more important or special than everyone else.

Guess we better pray they don’t alter the deal further. It doesn’t work like this for any other registered government service, from radio licenses to securities brokers; why should it for planes? …and wouldn’t this just be subject to FOIA requests anyway, so that all it does is provide a delay? But again, why should they get special treatment?

Well, since they have no plans to take away kernel access from anyone, according to the article, nothing material is really going to change.

It’s absolutely inevitable. Whether one will be alive for it is another matter…
