Does WHOIS protection protect you from that? I'd be freaked out if someone showed up at my house to see if I was Illuminati or not.

> That an entity the scale of Amazon and AWS just can't figure out how to report system status? Yeah, that's literally what they've claimed in the past.. when the 2017 S3 outage happened, the issue wasn't reflected on

One pessimistic argument would be that AWS has no incentive to be honest or timely about acknowledging service outages.

Unfortunately, it's hard to compete with 'free as in beer'. Especially when Discord offers an unbeatable platform for free by burning VC money.

Just because you have an opportunity to do something, and it's not explicitly forbidden by any laws or 'terms of service' or whatever, doesn't make it okay. Imagine that I went to a store, identified every booster pack w

You conveniently left out the part where they discussed it and she said that it didn't need to be 'natural'. There's nothing wrong with wanting a 'natural' diamond. But to mislead your partner as part of some s

Very embarrassed to see my alma mater in the news today. I was hoping these were just some grad students going rogue but it even looks like the IRB allowed this 'research' to happen.

Buying high-end GPUs? Basically don't bother. You can sign up for the Newegg shuffle which happens at least once a week and hope you get picked to buy an RTX 3070 but even those are pretty expensive. People often brag about how they su

Which Mastodon client doesn't respect this freedom? Tusky is GPL v3 ( https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/blob/develop/LICENSE.txt ). If you disagree with Tusky's choice to prevent accessing gab, y

It seems to me that you're mostly talking about RPGs. I can't think of any NES-PS1 platforming/shooter/action games that had 60 hours worth of content. If you look at today's RPGs, they're still _really long_.

Signal is totally centralized. The server is (if I recall correctly) open source, but if you were to run your own server, all of your contacts would have to be using your server too in order to communicate with them. I assume that the hostn

S3 costs money to keep your files in, even if you're not touching them, so just preventing further uploads wouldn't do much to prevent your AWS bill from increasing.

At one point, Docker's announcement said that all 'docker pull' requests would count towards the rate limit, even if you had every layer cached and no layers ended up being downloaded. I may be wrong but I interpreted that to

The state-of-the-art for building sites like these are tools like Hugo ( https://gohugo.io/ ) and Jekyll ( https://jekyllrb.com/ ). They generate the HTML for you so that you don't have to update 100+ HTML

That's true. However, I think the phrase "completely free" is misleading since the truth is that it's free until you accidentally use too much--which isn't something you have all that much control over if you'r

I don't think there is. This happens all the time--recently, a podcast app was removed from the Play Store because it could be used to listen to content which didn't meet Play Store guidelines. The only way to fix it is to post ab

I think it's great that projects hold off on calling a release "1.0.0"--they're signaling to users that value stability like you that they're not ready for you yet.

It's pretty clear to me that they don't think that. They are illustrating that "go out and vote if you want to make things better" is useless advice because the majority of voters believe that radical change is unnecessa

It is a bit pricey compared to the competition (lots of VPNs out there that cost ~$3/month) but apparently Mullvad is the VPN provider for this offering, and they cost $5 a month because they are considered one of the 'best'

Can you factory reset it? I have a TCL Roku TV which I've never connected to the Internet and it shows a pretty standard 'logo bouncing around the edges of the screen' screensaver.

The main example I can think of is when I'm not home--sometimes it's nice to be able to use my laptop in a not-very-accommodating public space, like on the bus. You're right, though. I try to avoid doing that whenever possibl

Don't all of these libraries require you to provide your own credentials? I do think this violates their ToS anyways though.
