For those CD-Rs that you have used, make sure you make a backup soon-ish – they degrade over time!

Jimmy Wales is the co-founder and president of Fandom, so I think it’s in a pretty similar position to WP.com in that regard.

It’s been called Equal Earth since 2018. The word “equal” here (likely?) refers to the fact it’s an equal-area projection, although it could be politically charged.

Haven’t had that luxury in Russia. Though being a script kiddie I’ve set up a shortcode just for myself (there were these “paid content SMS as a Service” thingies that forwarded SMS text to an HTTP endpoint you provide).

.com is probably okay, but like .name, it’s also managed by Verisign. .org is run by a non-profit, PIR, so I’d argue it’s a safer choice (especially since they already got the slap on a wrist for trying to sell it off [1] and likely won’t a

I’m using microG without signing in. Could you tell me a bit about what apps you’re using that you’re having trouble with? A good way to sidestep all those issues is getting your “everyday” apps from F-Droid :-) I’m only using Aurora Store

The point was never to make it impossible to have E2E communication. They just want to make it too inconvenient so that they can spy on the ordinary people. Criminals will, of course, find a way to have secure conversations – this is just a

Google has sent a cease and desist letter to youtube-dl. It didn’t work out well. And of course, Google is an AI company, too.

I think you can have a separation between days while still allowing 24/7 trading. Just schedule automatic operations like stock splits at midnight, and with a proper staging environment you can deploy software in the middle of the day,

“SQLite database as an executable format”? A bit farther away from the original but captures the meaning and sounds more neutral.

Well, for the usual reason :-) I’m wondering if the anti-clickbait filter could benefit from some lightweight LLM integration. E.g. when the submission hits the front page, if the title was “de-clickbaited” and wasn’t changed manually yet

I think we’re broadly in agreement: the more private options we have (with different levels of privacy), the better. It’s possible, in theory, to use Privacy Pass to allow e.g. using credit card to pay for the whole subscription without ass
