Possibly interesting trivia: There was an '80s British TV series called Inside Out, about people doing what you're doing.

I don't think her statement actually says "real people don't need end-to-end encryption". I'm not sure what she is saying though. Not banning end-to-end encryption, not asking for back doors, but having "matu

I'm OK with pseudo-Ponzi scheme, but if you just call it a Ponzi scheme them people will assume you just haven't understood the tech. The tech is novel and interesting and even somewhat useful.

I assume a lot of the pro-cryptocurrency comments and articles are crypto-holders trying to pump the market.

Up to a point. It's an analogue process so each copy degrades the signal. At some point games started having custom file loaders which made them load faster but also served as a kind of copy protection as copies were more likely to fai

Various people did, I'm sure somebody must have compiled a list somewhere but I can't immediately find it. Off the top of my head I recall Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Frank Sidebottom including software on their records.

You see those blocky colours in the youtube video? Those are the Spectrum's "attribute file", a small colour overlay that goes on top of the higher resolution 1-bit monochrome bitmap part of the machine's video ram. Give

Not necessarily saying the electric guitar isn't dying, but the economic argument isn't very convincing. There are a lot of guitars in the world now and we keep making more, consequently people aren't prepared to spend as muc

Additionally consumer boycotts tend to be directed at specific companies and serve a specific purpose, eg. trying to institute cross-industry agreements or get compensation paid to workers or their families after factory fires or collapses

Right, that's a bit hypocritical. It's tricky at first, but it's not so hard to avoid that taboo glyph with a bit of practicing.

Fair enough, that's a misapprehension on my part then. Plus I guess the form of it I've seen on oulipo.social must be "that bird platform" or something.

So, to stop it iterating through your keys for a single host, you have to specify IdentitiesOnly globally? That would explain why I couldn't make it work last time I tried it. If I recall correctly, if you specify it for a single host,

And I'm pointing out that treating PHP as a framework is not a "flaw in argumentation". The default installation of PHP gives you a setup that parses HTTP requests and returns HTTP responses, and provides a bunch of web-centr

No you can't. I also think that's a pity, although I don't doubt this policy has its fans.

I find I do this sort of thing a surprising amount. You'd think spurious symbols would jump out at you, but actually it turns out that's not how it is. Luckily oulipo.social automatically stops you posting bad sigils.
