   Makes me want to go through all my existing repos to see if this has already happened somewhere

   Ahh thanks that’s useful to me as all. As someone that grew up with carpet everywhere, it would be always shoes off by choice - But now we avoid carpet everywhere as my son has dust allergies of all things, and carpets are ridiculously hard

   For me, my shoes are predominately thongs (also referred to as flip flops in others parts of the world), and they’re directly next to my bed. They provide arch support which would otherwise leave me aching walking around the house presumabl

    On 2, I was surprised the author included the screenshot in their write up so I did some very pointed searches on some of the strings, and was surprised to see just how many profiles on LinkedIn were sourced for this farce. Good work LLMs

    Very tame in the scheme of things, but my go to prank was on a Windows machine, take a screenshot of the desktop with all of its icons, and then disable the icons. Doing it in a whole computer lab caught far more people double clicking in c

    Not necessarily, but agree that bad managers or organisations have a tedency to do this. I guess the ultimate goal is to keep everyone happy right? Everyone has different ideals, you can probably assume the business wants everything to work

    Good suggestion and I can see the benefit for honest people, but unfortunately it’s as equally a system for financial abuse for others - sometimes enough to prevent people fixing things during their regular hours just to benefit at other ti

    I feel for you, I’ve also suffered through this a lot over the years, and am finally at the stage of career and wisdom to start pushing back on the quality that I can’t control and ensuring that others are equally as accountable for their m

    Thanks, just downloaded it to try and purchased instantly - great app! Have been “playing” Für Elise for so many years on piano, but forgot how to read sheet music years ago and didn’t quite know how to get back into it. Thought Synthesia w

    Just learnt about whiteout files from this, thanks! Trying to understand if you purposely included a filename into a layer with the same whiteout prefix “.wh.”, if it would mess with the process that is meant to obfuscate that prefix from s

    I think you’re right, perhaps I’ll do some more reading about it - It seems like it all relies on what the extension does, and if this extension is open source someone will notice as you said. Thanks for the clarity!

    The method is secure until they change it. Their docs mention that generating a token is not anonymous, but using a token is. Considering they already know who generated it, it could be trivial for them (to change something server side wher

    Thanks, yes completely agree! I guess the part I’m concerned with is the politically side whereby they could be potentially compelled to change the method slightly after the fact and be forced to slip something in somewhere in a quite techn

    Definitely suggesting the method is secure, assuming the company does all the things they’ll say they do, which I also agree they’ll do. I’m just concerned the government can destroy this all, just by compelling them not to, and change a we
