Hrm, based on this: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/orgs/#add-a-member-to-a-t... I see that Docker doesn't actually offer an AWS-style enterprise account that one can use to han…

If it's ok for us to deal with violent people by: a) gunning them down in the streets b) beating the shit out of them c) injecting them with hilarious overdoses of drugs and crossi…

>I also don't think that appeals to "is that legal" are all that satisfying I've always used the rule of thumb that if the best thing someone can say about their behavior or decisi…

Yep. The late 90's and early 2000's was littered with people trying to make "light" copies of MS Word. The problem is that journalists need the wordcount feature, and teachers need…

Local councils can create some value by allowing people to pay council taxes, fees and fines with the issued currency. Enough to peg it 1:1 with the USD? I'll be honest, I don't kn…

When I first set up my requirements.txt's, I usually set up a venv, install the things that I need and then run "pip freeze" to get a list of all deps including transitive deps, an…

Leaving aside my visceral reaction to attaching mandatory trackers to people: >The “BioButton” is wearable technology that monitors your vitals, including temperature and heart-rat…

I've always been a fan of the sqlite licence: https://sqlite.org/copyright.html Basically sqlite is public domain if your country recognizes that kind of thing. If it doesn't, then…

I also prefer appimages as the "least worst" of the three. However, a quick note: As someone who unofficially maintains a linux port of my companies software, I have considered pac…

I use ublock origin to selectively block the consent boxes. I've never yet seen a website which says "our backend has noticed you have not yet consented, you may not continue".

I gave quite a few statically-compilable language a try a few years back before settling on nim as my "fat binary" language of choice. D was a contender, but ultimately the reason …

I don't know how you can misunderstand your core demographic this badly mate. If you think the next time I hit the shitter I'm not going to be looking for a new browser, you're dea…

The tools that were developed in the interim were designed not to scale.

I've not yet found that to be the case, although I fear that one day it will. I generally find that all you need to do is tell people their solution is not acceptable. All the bank…

>It's that I, a user, cannot choose to sideload an app That's only half the equation. I run android, but have no google account. I have always used a combination of aptoide, f-droi…

>PayPal cookies stored on the buyer's computer That's probably why. I use addons that autodelete cookies as soon as I leave webpages because no one has the luxury of pretending the…

That option is enabled or disabled by the user. Pine has (still) not enabled it: https://i.imgur.com/Y1OhCkX.png In case anyone from pine is watching, here's the doc on how to do i…

I've been waiting for this to come out. Unfortunately, I tried to buy the pinetime late last year and discovered they only sell through paypal and you need an account to make the p…

Now the server has to store the password in plain text so it can rehash with the new nonce every time.

>and it does further protect the users password from being harvested from passive MITM'd SSL like it is on some corporate networks. It might protect the password if the user is reu…

That's the opposite of a smart appliance to be honest. You can use minimodem[1] to scream a file across the room from one computers speakers to another computers modem. It's a cute…

I have been habitually sending "I have finished using your service, could you please delete my account" emails since around 2008 or so. Prior to GDPR, 9 replies in 10 would be poli…

It was partly that, but they also dropped the ball on their core demographic. Things like pushing mandatory updates via "experiments", shoving pocket in everyone's faces, killing X…

>It's just utter self serving hypocrisy. I would say your post is reality-denial. His experience was shit, total shit. Knowing his experience, I would avoid the site he chose like …

That also depended on the project. With the right ports forwarded on your home router, servers can pop up and down as required. Mercurial had a single command for this, "hg serve",…
