Going from starting the project two weeks ago to already having a flashy marketing site is another tell, unfortunately. As much as I would love to see a trustworthy version of this idea. https://github.com/rayfish/rayfi

Reading the comments in this thread, I think it's difficult for some folks here to accept that many, many people outside their bubble genuinely despise what they're doing, and it's not just a misunderstanding or a matter of

Are you not concerned that you, too, will go away?

If I have a disk image or access to the physical drive, it's trivial. This means they can no longer be considered encrypted at rest.

Right, but it has many knock-on effects unfortunately. For example, it propagates to web content and causes some sites to break because they don't test with animations disabled.

Awesome! Is there a working way to do the same for Windows virtual desktops? I remember I used to do it with ViVeTool [0], but Microsoft removed the feature flag at some point. [0] https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViV

Quite a bit beefier and pricier than I'm looking for, yes! But thank you anyway.

This seems like it might be a good place to ask: does anyone know of a low-cost, readily-available SBC box with built-in dual Ethernet interfaces? I've been very interested in some of Radxa's boards in the ~$30-70 range, like the

I'm trans. This man has actively and intentionally made life harder for myself and my loved ones. So yes, I'm going to enjoy any news that weakens his ability to do that, and no, I won't apologize for it.

I got really excited reading this! The docs site is very polished and hypes up lots of features which click with things I've been wanting out of a language. But then I went to the repository [0] and realized that this is a week-old pro

The comments in that thread were shameful. If only the commit author names changed, then it would be trivial to run a git diff comparing the content of the old and new HEADs. But no one did - instead they dogpiled on the maintainer who got

Their API leaked all users' login PINs to other users, and they only took a month to patch it! So fast, so secure.

The implication is that the death toll is under- reported due to the disruption of the means by which those deaths would be reported and logged. In other words, those thousands of deaths are just the ones we know about.

Super cool! But I so rarely reach for the physical calculators I already have these days. Any recommendations on RPN calculators for Windows or Android? The one I've got on my phone right now has some little quirks that bug me.

I don't disagree! But as long as they continue to do stupid and wrong things, workarounds remain useful.

It's frustrating that sharing workarounds in good faith attracts drive-by snark like this comment.

I highly recommend getting a clipboard manager! They keep a (usually configurable) history of your most recent clipboard items and allow switching the active selection between them.

Oh, hey! I discovered your library around a month ago, and had a question at the time [0]: why is it mostly sponsored [1] by personal injury lawyers? Are they particularly heavy DataTables users? Or is this an SEO thing for them, since the
