This is an article, not for people who don't understand git, but for people who do understand git and want to explain it to others.

I trust people like you, who don't even acknowledge the impact of ideology on their reasoning, even less to be objective.

Building a sustainable business that meets customer demand and is able to pay employees, without the need for growth, is called a zombie and needs to be shut down? You know, sometimes I forget that this stuff if just a "get rich quick&

Only in the insane world of "startup" culture, a sustainable business that meets enough customer demand to pay their employees and make some profit, is a bad thing.

I like XMPP but this honestly just seems like a weird fit to me. ActivityPub seems like the more appropriate protocol for this. Also gives you federation with stuff like mastodon and peertube. Or just RSS would work as well.

This looks great. Excited to check it out when it comes to android. You hooked me in with your examples all being japanese. Also, I want to know how that Atom minigame works.

Capitalist "Libertarianism" is not actually Libertarian at all. It is authoritarian.

I wonder how resistant those are to distortion. The examples on the Insight page are pretty impressive, but fairly naive approaches. I feel like, if you knew the algorithm, you could probably manipulate your image data in a way to make it a

In patents, 20 years seems oppressive. But in copyright, it is something to dream of.

I feel like sometimes you have to develop the thing you want, and can't find anywhere, for people to tell you that it already exists.

All discussions on the legitimacy of intellectual property are basically mute until the protection periods go back to something reasonable of at most 20 years.

Like pdf.js but for flash. Sadly it seems to be dead. I found this effort to port what there is to a webextension but there is no documentation how far that person got and the last commit was 3 months ago. https://github.com&#x2F

You were right. I did enjoy this essay. I disagree with it. And even if I didn't, there are other reasons it wouldn't change my ethical outlook on the situation. But it is interesting nontheless.

Yep. That is the difference between ethics and legality.

I am particularly empathetic to that position, because I didn't own a phone until very recently and it caused a bunch of problems for me. It informed my perspective a lot.

Of course I feel a lot better using ssh than using telnet. I just don't want people to discount that this added complexity is the price we pay for the security.

The idea of "text is the universal interface" informed the design of unix and it resulted in text streams. But if I apply it to something entirely different, authentication, I come out at passwords. And I wouldn't say that te

It is also practically true. I remember a couple of passwords for services I frequently have to log into without access to a password manager. I can make choices about the security requirements for different services, and the security of th

I would never claim there is no legitimacy to enforcing 2FA. At my last job we ran into a situation like that. I always lacked things other people and services took for granted for financial and political reasons (like a smartphone). When w

It is not just that everyone knows how passwords work. It is also that you can always enter a password. What if I don't have my phone to scan a qr-code? What if I want to use a minimalistic browser that doesn't implement a key pai
