Huh, I'd swear I'd seen that too, but looking at the alpha blog post [1], they do indeed say: > The official release of COSMIC DE will debut on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS, which will be based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Running and testing on

I'm guessing now that the app store had been designated as a gatekeeper and that alternatives app stores are technically allowed, it no longer has to pretend that PWAs are a Viva alternative?

Oof, imagine if our safeguard for nuclear weapons was that a private company kept it safe.

Thanks for the answers everyone!

Right, having someone in meetings is nice, but I'm thinking more in terms of collective bargaining, being involved in layoffs (e.g. making sure that every effort has been made to move/retrain people) and all that.

Anyone have any idea how this would/could work for a company with employees in many different countries? Especially if the number of employees in your own country is low? (Single or low double digits.)

Ah! You mean that await Promise.all( unneededPages.map(async (page) => { await fs.move(page, `scripts/.cache/${page}`, { overwrite: true }); }) ); could also have been written as await Pro

(Though to be honest, I'm also somewhat sceptical that a single & in Bash would be sufficient to move a bunch of files in a particular order, and restore them properly if the process gets terminated somewhere halfway along the proc

Do you mean the `await fs.move` on line 13? Because yes, I do need that to complete before I can run the next command, the build, on line 40. I could have appended it to the Promises that I'm creating on line 9 to run it in parallel wi

Sure, but again: I know and recognise this syntax and the APIs. What's boilerplate to me, I hardly see, whereas compact Bash operators are noise to my eyes.

If they'd go to JavaScript, they'd feel a sense of unfamiliarity similar to what JS developers going to Python would feel. But the Python equivalent of TypeScript is mypy, and I don't think it's controversial to say (eve

That allows other code to run while e.g. files are being moved. It indeed can be somewhat painful ([1] is the classic criticism) and in shell scripts is not as beneficial. I think there are even sync alternatives (i.e. equivalent functions

Here's an example: https://gitlab.com/vincenttunru/penny/-/blob/main/scripts/bu... That used to be a shell script. But this I can way more easily read (even after not touching it for a lon

> why not write it as npm tasks. Do you mean writing the entire script in a single line in a string in a JSON file (package.json)? Of do you mean that string just calling out to a non-inline script? Because the use case for this is very

They have manual install instructions [0], and judging by those, what it does is set up a SystemD service that automatically runs on startup. But if you're just looking to play around, I found that downloading [1], making it executable

Oh yes, I am not at all saying I don't think Relay should have that option. It's more that I like sharing a domain with many others, so I can blend in with the crowd.

Thanks for sharing, we've seen some reports and logs of some people running into this issue with Safari, and we're investigating.

We do also lobby for better legislation. And from what I've heard (I'm not personally involved with that works), our being present in the market does help us wield influence with legislators.

Your Firefox Sync data is end-to-end encrypted and thus won't be leaked in a hack. (Unless you also leak your password.)

It should be listed in the pricing table on the front-page, but it's only available in the US, so we only try to show that to people there.

It's super annoying. We also have that when e.g. trying to emphasize what we're doing to protect your privacy, since "caring about your privacy" has become distorted to mean its opposite at least in my mind.

For example, Firefox can collect quite a bit of data regarding what hardware correlates with what type of crashes on what code paths. It doesn't have to know anything about you to know that fewer crashes benefit you.

That's great to hear, often they do show up again later, which is why it's a longer-term subscription service. OneRep is the provider for the removal functionality of Monitor, incidentally.
896.
by Vinnl 3y ago
That is correct, and we do help you identify where your data is for free. Many people unfortunately have their data exposed in lots of places,in which case manual removal is a PITA, and that's where the Plus plan comes in.

by Vinnl 3y ago
That is correct, with the additional note that Monitor has also existed for a while providing that functionality for free (in collaboration with HIBP), and will continue to do so for free, and worldwide. The new thing is scanning for your i

That is correct, and it's way more of a problem in the US (but also e.g. in Brazil). Also: are you the JohnTHaller of PortableApps fame? If so: thanks for making my high school computer usage bearable, way back when!
