My pet theory is that Spotify doesn't want you to choose your own music but steer you towards specific songs instead. Either to increase your level or length of engagement with the service, or because some songs earn them more cash tha

You can set this up with some hardware tokens. I've done it in the past with a Yubikey.

This "Buddhist meditation retreat" in a tiny cabin in the North Carolina mountains goes way beyond the practicing mindfulness the author describes it as. As with everything else in life: don't overdo it.

There also exists a surprising amount of ridiculously unnecessary packages that many worthwhile ones depend on. One such example is `is-odd` that is hovering around 500k weekly downloads https://www.npmjs.com/package/is

About 4 hours after you posted this, one of those horrifying scenarios built out of a joke in my previous post suddenly manifests itself in my head. Roko's Basilisk is no joke.

Was thinking about that as I wrote it. Just hoping it will keep me around as a pet, or that either the governator or Emilia Clarke come barging in telling me to come with them if I want to live.

Providing the AI with a sabotaged code dataset, I wonder how that will influence its treatment of us meatbags down the line :) Also, I'd like to propose that henceforth, we refer to GitHub's mascot "Octocat" as "Cop

I have long suspected that OnePlus' toggles for their "RAM Boost" and battery optimisations are just for show. Disabling them still doesn't give you normally functioning apps.

Yes GitHub does it too. The icon can't update itself so it's stuck on the color it was when you last visited the site. Example: https://i.imgur.com/PTPJ3Fm.png

Yeah I think people really underestimate how massive of a security liability node modules are in the way the system currently works. Fixing it should really be given top priority, but doesn't look to be a very popular subject when you

I was more responding to the - in my opinion ridiculous - notion that even apps that don't require the internet to function at all should be expected to phone home by default, and that auto updates are an essential. Nevertheless, it&#x

Neither crash reports nor auto-updates are vital to the functioning of the program. It doesn't seem so weird to me to have an application ask for permission first. Something most applications do anyway.

No need to apologise! In this post's comment section alone many use the term "open source" but really mean to say "public-source", others use the two terms interchangeably even when they seem to be aware of the dist

Does that mean general copyright does not apply to unlicensed open source software? Do any legal precedents exist related to this? I'm honestly curious now.

But if there's no license, it's not the license that restricts but common copyright law.
