In the late 90s I had a little 32MB(!) Creative Nomad player that I carried around in my pocket for a long time in the early days of MP3s... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Creative_Nomad_MP3_P... This was the

Interesting concept, but you need to put an obvious mute button on there somewhere so users can kill the audio if they need to.

When I was younger some of my friends who had very limited income could often not afford to top up their cell phone minutes, but still had their phone with an address book full of numbers in their pocket. I would lend them my phone and th

Have you ever seen what happens when a non-corporate-backed (i.e. independent) candidate steps up for election? They are almost always out-spent and out-campaigned from all sides because both bought parties want to maintain the two-party sy

I mean, it kind of is.. I think there's an unofficial understanding that if someone puts out a way to access Spotify Free that removes or bypasses the limitations and constraints that Spotify imposes on free accounts, they would summon

You're not wrong in saying it's a harder path, but I guess for me anecdotally I know more non-techie people who are still pirating all their TV and movies than techie people. Anyways, appreciate the different perspective, and the

The big takeaway (for me) from this article is that streaming services are actively removing shows from their archives to save on residual payments. So it's not just about a slowdown in new shows coming out, but also the loss of access

Is it possible that this program is ineffectual, because of publicly-available information from other sources that can be cross-referenced? If I were to put together a badly implemented privacy program that people can trivially circumvent w

Of course that is indeed the ideal path. If only we lived in an ideal world. But we do not, and we need to work with what we have. I do use Firefox for all my personal browsing, but on my work machine I am more or less required to use Chrom

I think this is a fallacy. Maybe the big developers wouldn't have incentive to develop billion-dollar cosmetic-powered games anymore, but someone would make it work financially. You'd still have hugely popular multiplayer games,

Thank you! Also, do we have the same last name?

So what are potential uses of this, with Manifest v3 around the corner? Could this run as an nginx JS module and filter traffic at the network level in my home as a local proxy? I'm already running a Pi Hole, would this be overkill?

Rich people never want to acknowledge their luck, because it doesn't fit the "self-made" narrative. edit: to please the pedants, I should have said "many rich people", as to not imply "all". My fault.

Since PHP is typically invoked as a web server module or SAPI, you can install as many versions as you want and which one you use comes down to the version you've configured in your web server. You _can_ use PHP from the command line b

Curious about something. If you've long moved on and are no longer using PHP, why do you still consider yourself a "detractor"?

My friend, you are being trolled.. Your responders keep moving the goal posts on you. You should just walk away.

Our company issues laptops yes, because everyone can choose to either work at home or in the office. That said, we also supply external monitors, keyboards and mice for anyone who wants one, and every worker has a discretionary budget to sp

We are also a highly regulated industry. Not finance but pretty close. I sympathize with you though, it sounds like there's no will to do it, which sucks :(

The password managers that I'm aware of store your vault locally on-device, even if they also sync to a cloud service. That said I agree with you I would never use a cloud-only store for passwords!

For what it's worth, I work in a large 30,000 employee company. Everyone gets a Windows machine by default. 6 years ago our department of 200 people "went rogue" and started provisioning Macs, because it was the only way we c

I hear you, but there's a middle ground I think. A bunch of non-breaking quick cuts is of course jarring and could be better, but what you describe with "mistakes and all" is too far down the other end in my mind. I would no

Letting people starve or be homeless is also a breakdown of society. One is harm to capitalism, property and profit, one is harm to neighbours and fellow humans,. Which one is worse, knowing you can't solve it all?

Do you know what that is? I typically buy 4-5 sticks at a time when my local pharmacy has a sale on the one I like, so I buy deodorant like once a year. Never noticed any problems with them.
