Maybe Matrix.org isn't so voice-centered, but they do support the guild+channels system. I really don't want Discord to succeed either, I want something that is fully E2E encrypted (except for guilds explicitly marked as "pub

You can also send out your emails via a relay, like Amazon SES, right? Host an email server (like opensmtd + Dovecot, or with Postfix+Dovecot), and forward external emails through SES.

They are compared regarding "cost to the company". A median salary in Spain is 24k€/year, plus social security, which makes it around 31k/yr per employee. Yet I've seen several companies using crappy services'

And, at least in the EU, we get LLM responses (via MS Copilot) on Bing, but no "AI Overview" on Google. Though seeing how poorly Google AI Overview on search works, I'd rather not have that offered to me.

Which is the whole point: there is no actual, clear, separation between Mullenweg's person, Automattic and the WP Foundation

I'm down to contributing to such a project. But there wouldn't even be a need for scraping, just crowdsourcing: people can submit coupons on checkout (perhaps try to detect if they are using one, at least on popular sites) and be

I'd say a better example of an extension where the dev and users' interest are aligned is SponsorBlock: people can contribute by sending sponsor segments, and the extension then skips those parts of the video for everyone. You can

They are supposed to be synced, for example by Google's Password Manager, iCloud, or whatever tool you use (bitwarden, 1Password...)

I mean, same with passwords, right? If you enter your password on a compromised device or you forget it, you are screwed. Which is what password managers (or passkey managers, or perhaps we could use a new term like "credential manager

I do something similar, but instead keep a "date_deleted" column null by default, and the "active" column as a boolean. That way, I kill two birds in one stone by having a dedicated column for last deletion (instead of u

IANAL, not from the US either. But if you register, you are signing a legally-binding licence agreement. Doesn't lying or giving false information nullify this contract? For example, if you register on wordpress.org while claiming you

Wait, and the IRS is happy with all that? With an individual using company resources for what would appear to be "personal" activity outside the company? Same with the foundation?

Creating an open registry would be nice, or even for developers to be able to host their own repos for others to install plugins from (à la Linux package managers), to avoid such centralisation. Ideally, those repos would be hosted by each

JetBrains IDEs actually tell you to exclude some directories from Defender (and will even do it for you in some instances) because of performance issues. DevDrive[1] fixes that since it's excluded from defender by default. [1]: https:

You should if the network is supposed to be anonymous. Though Spanish law, for example, AFAIK requires you to identify customers if you're acting as an ISP (which you are when you offer internet services) or you could be liable for ill

Yes, the initiative is from the EU for local administrations (so the Ajuntament gets the money for setting it up), though I didn't know there were bandwidth limits. I can't speak for every install, but some of them do the tracking

I think people do it out of habit at this time. In many cases it makes sense to handle TLS termination and compression, but in other instances it really is there for no reason. Proxying is always less-performing than serving directly since

How can I possibly trust the Discord client is actually using that library and not a modified version that calls home? The whole point of using open source is being able to see the entire code of the program, and compile it yourself
