I adopt the same mindset as when I give away money to someone who says they need it - once I've given it away, I've done my part. The same with my FOSS code (which is all BSD-3-Clause licensed, specifically because I want nothing

another stupid fad - people will do anything to distract themselves from reality no-one actually cares how you look - at least, no-one whose opinion should matter in the slightest to you and in 10-15 years, you'll be exactly where you

the problem i have here is that there's no way for me to confirm that the secrets aren't stored somewhere on their hardware, either forming a prize worth attacking them for, or, worse, a prize for a less-ethical employee nice idea

yeah, this is one of the reasons I'll choose to start a new conversation with claude - some old memory from earlier interacting with the current flow. I know, not quite the same thing, because that's just in the context, but it&#x

Surely that's a lie that simply can't make it past two paychecks? Unless you really aren't necessary at all, in which case, go find something you give a shit about and do that instead.

The very first feature I'd ask for is oauth login, at least via google - I don't want to maintain another password and the security around that, and I want 2fa for login too (which comes for free when set up on the oauth provider

and yet, i remember reading not too long ago about all the people who wanted to abolish dst because it's a really crap experience and there wasn't data to show it would be a bad idea - so i'm wondering: is this new data, or j

I think this article misses the main point that AI is where it is not because people fought back against it, but because the grifters making it needed to provide incentives such that they could foot their $1 trillion bills. As I've lea

I gave up modding windows in any meaningful way after the several times I was left with a machine which was unstable, or had some other issue, or simply became 100% broken after a windows update was pushed to my machine. It's a corpora

one could argue the same about any SaaS-heavy operation - eg, I've heard at my place of work before "why make it when we can just pay for it" - which inevitable wraps back onto a monthly sub and rising costs. I've been b

Or, if you don't want to blow $500, set up your Gmail to do a similar thing. I've been set up like that for well over a decade. This service is likely more flexible, but also more risky - who do you think will stop working first?
