When it's to the point where I can push a button and have a TV show pop up on my NAS viewable on all my devices in a few minutes (yay Sonarr) or try to find somewhere to go buy it in some weird DRM-encumbered form that I can't even copy to my phone, well, I know what I'm doing.

I can't be assed to pay for things anymore. My sheer laziness is more valuable to me than other people's hard work and I won't even try to deny it, put me in front of a computer and I go into complete utilitarian mode.

This probably applies to more people than will care to admit it and it's exactly why the "piracy is a service problem" attitude is the only one to really put a dent in piracy in the past decade.

I was recently passed off a project from someone who didn't have a development background but had been working on C++... the amount of copy-paste, repetitive if statements and fixed length arrays makes the original code almost completely unusable and I was forced to suggest a total rewrite.

Something like WSL attempts to reduce the desire for this setup. Having things like real openssh work properly without cygwin is a major plus in my book.

Unless they start doing serious hardware anti-tamper in headphones I don't think it's a real risk.

Nothing wrong with that - chances are you'll use it at one point or another. Most cars and stereo systems still use 3.5mm. Even for people who have Bluetooth in their cars they often prefer the stereo cable as it gives better quality, has no weird pairing issues and doesn't drain their battery.

I've ran both wireless and wired headphones and have settled on wired. It's just better, better audio quality, better headphones for a lower price, no waiting for the headphones to initialize, no forgetting to turn them off and finding your battery half dead, no having to charge them every few days. Just plug it in and go.

Hopefully this move will put pressure on manufacturers to get costs down on these wireless headphones and get the more off-brand audio manufacturers who often make the best products (quality/dollar wise) interested.

Sure, they make it look all secure, pass it through all that crypto and stuff but ultimately it has to be passed to the projector chip in some form which is unencumbered to be turned into light. At which point it's fairly trivial to dump. Anti-tampers on the case are probably fairly limited.

Not a lot better, but at least makes more sense than "View Apple ID" I think.

Of course, with something this small and basically one-off, given the number of open source devs building bitcoin projects I'd be surprised if no one's done something similar already.

Not much political stuff on the past day right now but if you look at the past month's posts about the US presidential candidates you'll see what I'm talking about.

> unless your terminal emulator filters out the bracketed paste characters when pasting!

Any sane terminal should already be doing that, if not there's not really any point in offering bracketed paste in the first place as any input could break out of it.

Of course, this should really be on the browser for not delivering the proper text that the user selected to the clipboard.

Just set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = false.

Some shells also handle the paste and try to detect anything funny going on or at least let you review before you execute.

... or, for the sake of argument, the same thing by speech recognition:

Unfortunately speech recognition often produces insulin usable and it might be hard to clean up later can be just you and me I want to tell what you're trying to say.

Maybe my voice sucks, or maybe I should robot it up more, but this is about the level I usually get... it's okay if you're doing a quick search on Google maps and don't mind repeating it 3 times but anything more than that and you may as well start typing.

And annecdotally, most pot smokers didn't like the smell at first, but are now quite pleased by it.
