Reminds me the days people would write Micro$oft (usually in Linux vs Windows discourse). It's funny to think that back in the days we used to think the most evil thing a company could do was charging money for their software. Today we

And Twitter used to have free API access. And Facebook Messenger used to have Jabber compatibility. I don't think those companies deserve any trust in regards of promoting them for their open initiatives. Threads' activity pub gim

Well, if you own an online casino, I guess your moral compass is already so skewed that you simple don't care. On the other hand, if you own an online mom & pop store that sells clothes for puppies, you rationalize that the impact

Of course, there will also be a service targeted for the companies that receives the mailed in resumes, scans and OCR them and maybe even send the results to an LLM to make further filters and classifications. And here's the neat thing

Not sure if "understood the rules of the game" is doing a good job here. Using a hardware wallet is almost as close as you can get of a cryptocurrency user understanding all the rules of the game. They are following the "gold

I don't usually use browsers sidebars, but when I do I mentally compensate for it. The viewport is in fact the part of the web page I expect to be the full width, and what things should be centered on. The same way the vertical centeri

"If a company doesn't want you as a consumer you might consider go to a competitor" doesn't sound like giving them power, quite the opposite.

Also, let's be honest, outside of some loud privacy concerned voices, most people don't care and they will prefer to scan their faces with the phone they have at home which is an action they are already used to do than to spend mo

The funniest thing is that apparently "misantropia" is just the hacker's nickname. People were making wholes theories about the meaning of the message, but most likely it was just a signature.

Yes, I meant that not everyone actually turn their phones off, most just switch it to dot not disturb mode, which is overridden by those emergencies alerts. And as for enforcement, yeah there isn't an effort in trying to avoid anyone s

I think cgit is the simplest one that provides a browsable http version of the repository if that's what you want. It's used by the Linux Kernel itself. Example: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/

Not a message, but a date. There's this huge national exam called ENEM that is like SAT that every Brazilian in age to enter a college takes. Millions of students are taking it every year at the same date and time, as its result is wha

Wouldn't. There isn't a single Brazilian who doesn't know Brazil's current world cup status. The entire country stops when there's a game. Nobody would fall for that.

This makes sense if someone bought a ticket and didn't showed up, but what if none was sold? They could just stop selling after a certain time and be sure nobody will be there late.

Beggars in fact can be choosers. If I give a beggar a rotten sandwich he can look at it and say "nah, I'm good". He can even be less polite and call me names for trying to give him food that is not good to eat. Why would I do
