It should be obvious that government agencies lack the incentive (generally profit and the competitiveness necessary to maintain it) to meaningfully address and/or eliminate problems. Nor do they experience any significant downside to

I've been tempted to do something similar. The context information (e.g. environment, working directory) would be especially helpful, since that's what I'm currently missing. Have you tried https://github.com/

Wow, I'm really blown away at how accurate this is, particularly how well it was able to discern between nudity and covered nudity. Only odd thing I noticed was that male torsos were flagged for nudity. Is that intentional?

We don't know that he's a professional developer. He could be a student (or in a million other situations). I know that when I was 12 years old trying to learn C on my own, spending $70 on an editor would have been unthinkable.

I've used Filemaker Server to host it's web interface. I probably wouldn't use it again, but I didn't know of any simple self-hosted alternatives at the time.

Because it's considered to be requisite to interact with society, it's necessary to initiate force to collect funds for a safety net? I don't really follow.

Ever since Zach Holman "left", it appears as though GitHub has been eaten away from the inside by intersectional feminism. There appear to be subversive efforts to turn tech companies into platforms for social justice. I can only

Getting a Dropbear or OpenSSH server set up on Android can be a mess. For a super simple setup that "just works", you can just use a SSH server application (e.g. Rooted SSH/SFTP Daemon [0]) and a ZeroTier virtual network [1]

Not really. The nature of trade is that people only interact with these startups if they value the good or service greater than they value their cash, privacy, or whatever. Maybe the users are ill-informed, but that's the expectation.

Presumably if you're living with your partner, you're paying 50% of the rent. I assume most people living with their parents are not paying any rent. At least in high-rent areas like the Bay Area, that's a significant savings

Getting something correctly packaged for popular OS's is not as easy as it may seem. Even Torvalds famously gripes about it. Luckily, there's no need for that here since it can be distributed as a Python package. The project alrea

There's no need for an undercover officer to identify themselves as such. They're free to lie and manipulate (to an extent). It would kind of defeat the purpose otherwise.
