I don't think it's equivalent. When Rebble did what they did, it was because Pebble was going under and they had no EOL plan. Rebble took it upon themselves to carry the torch without having been passed it. If Core were to do the

I've seen you make the comment about the OS being open-sourced a lot. But this largely has nothing to do with the OS. This is a conversation about infrastructure and data. The concern (from what I gathered and will condense greatly) is

From the post on rebble.io > We made it absolutely clear to Eric that scraping for commercial purposes was not an authorized use of the Rebble Web Services. So, another point of consideration is whether looking at names and pictures so y

I hardly think wanting to be more productive/efficient on your own behalf is "bending over backwards" to save a company. It could be a project with a deadline, and you want to knock some things out earlier so that there is le

Videos are typically already summarized substitutes for complex topics--topics for which you might need to read text or literature to get the full context of. Now we want to min-max and summarize the video themselves. Then what? If that vid

You don't need to look at a billboard at the time that you want to buy something related for it to work. The mere-exposure effect (< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect >) is all that is needed.

Ntfy is phenomenal. I love having my own compiled app for the background notifications on a self-hosted instance. It's so easy to hook any update or alerts I want into and get it delivered to any of my devices. Also, a really nifty cro

Even though I haven't used one in a really long time, the Pebble Time still stands out to me as something I wish I still had. It's an absolutely shame that Pebble was so innovative and functional, but couldn't reach mass mark

But previewing can involve automatically loading resources. This "attack" is very similar to CSRF in that your exploit involves making the victim load a specific resource. That's why in secure mail clients, nothing but plaint

I, too, have been caught in the trap of trying to accommodate all possible user flows. Sometimes you just have to put your foot down and just say "No, that is not how you use this tool".

> Trying to hack on other people's junk with NixOS is just asking for pain. Yeah, but being that Nix is essentially a giant wrapper for the system, that kind of goes without saying. The other side of the coin is that, using other pe

Nix and containerization aren't drop-in replacements for each other. You can use Nix to build containers. Containers on their own don't guarantee reproducibility, especially if the build process isn't static and pure ( how ma

I think you're taking the term "immutable" too literally. Immutable does not mean you cannot change it according to your wishes. It just means that each change must be explicitly declared in order to be included in the next s

It depends on the underlying email server. But strictly speaking, the "+" is a valid identifier, and "joe+admin@example.com" is a completely different address than "joe@example.com". It just so happens that ema

I think you need to be a little bit crazy to enter the browser space. It's not for the feint of heart.

I think everything could be summed up even better to just say that the goal should be to increase productivity.

Agreed completely, and you touch upon something very poignant. Those living in poverty already fall short of fulfilling their hierarchy of needs in many ways. They certainly do not have the money to access film and media, so it's not l

I believe if businesses want to stop piracy, they need to start making superior products and platforms. If we put away cost completely for a service, allowing it to be any exorbitant amount, the final question is: Is this a better experienc

Have you taken a look at using Nix as a build system? One thing I don't like about most build systems is the lack of a dependency check, C is most guilty of being the troublemaker here. But anyways, with Nix you can lock in dependencie

All right, what about logless VPN providers like Mullvad? > do not find operation of unmonitorable services acceptable. Sounds like something straight out of a dystopian surveillance state novel, very bad outlook if true.

This seems like the Kim Dotcom situation again. Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do? Specifically, these service providers? Because Google, Discord, Reddit, etc. all contain some amount of CSAM (and oth

Hard disagree. I've written plenty in both. They both have their strengths, but bash is just more efficient if you're working with the filesystem. The UNIX philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" shines here. Python

I had this same exact idea for an application of AI in the early ChatGPT days. Kudos to you for following through with it! I think procedural generated mysteries have an incredible amount of potential if done well. Not sure what was your in
