This is 1000% the play, it's the only one that actually works out (for _some_ vendors). Extra fun when you've let go of all your actual experienced engineers and then the squeeze comes.

Personally as an artist I'd rather give it to people directly for free but I'll meet the audience where they are. The "compensation" does not factor into it at all.

Interestingly, I'm seeing more and more small bands stepping off of Spotify, mainly because of AI clones and botted stream scams. Apparently they've decided losing that reach is acceptable. (anecdotal ofc. but even on local scale it's an interesting choice)

> If you live in a country where freedoms and due process are respected

History and current events show that this is not a static fact you can rely on in the slightest.

What is your big stick? Governments and large corporations are unfathomably powerful these days.

> while the conversion rates plummet.

Isn't the segment who will set this up also likely to have a low conversion rate to begin with?

You'd need to make it so easy that it becomes fully mainstream. I suspect that's what happened to adblockers, it got a bit too "standard" for (Google's) comfort.

This is a weird state of affairs though. This is such a thoroughly private thing, it does not impact your work (unless illegal content is involved), so why so we care?

I know it's some sort of "trustworthiness" but that is objectively complete bs.

That would make it an Alert or Dialog masquerading as a toast, no?

I had a considerably better time with CircleCI in the past than with Github Actions currently. It feels much more like a complete product rather than a tacked on mess, I hate how disproportionately we count running cost just because we have numbers for it (vs. DX and velocity which are hard to measure and impossible to predict)

Wait, can you explain how you _don't_ get a static thing from a SHA?

Crash. According to my experience trying it many times oves the past years.

It feels like a very unfocused project, every few months they introduce a new feature that is to replace an entire class of tools, while the original promise of "drop in Node replacement" was never fulfilled (or at least, that was the vibe for the past years when I was still paying attention).

We'll see how this works out but speed + lack of scope never works out well in the long term.

It could be useful to let an LLM create a daily digest of those channels, then you can go read the actual messages if that seems necessary.

I have channels that I ignore and read ~once a day but there's often still not a great signal to noise ratio. Something more detailed than "x new messages" would be helpful.

Oh no!

> [IE] held the web hostage for a decade.

I wonder whether we'll ever get to reach this point with Safari. Especially with regards to PWAs and the insane state of "native" apps.

Even "better" is a wild statement about art in general. A gigantic part of art is the expression itself.. exactly what this takes away.

> Art, at this point, is essentially digital

Are you serious with this?

Cannot modify irreversibly though right? Something like a Nest or whatever is easy to return to the original state when you leave.

The supreme court is stacked, they're blackmailing lawyers. They're generally ignoring judges already. The law is irrelevant to them unless convenient.

I get the joke but man, for once I'd like something to just be wholesome full stop.

> he's clearly a very good executer and strategist. He's getting in his own way.

Apparently not. I'd argue he was perceived as such but has thoroughly proven the opposite by now. There were so many stations to get off the train.

Do you know or want this to be the facts? Because the main problem right now is that it's an unknown.

Another fun fact related to this is that when someone changes their github username, their actions break. Just a hilariously bad design IMO. There should be a repository in between with immutable versions.

Email is also a thrash heap. My country has an official "inbox" app that aggregates messages from all agencies.

Also keep in mind that life and laws have gotten more complex. The tax code likely hasn't shrunk over time.

I agree it should be carefully designed but let's be honest, all those outs can be solved if lawmakers are willing.

Besides the other comments, was this anywhere near the same scale?

Yes, great, this is in line with my point. I'm not saying you should take control of the internet but you are responsible for how they interact with it.

Please note that I didn't say anything like that and you're making an assumption. The other option is teaching your child to be safe, as you would when they are old enough to stop holding hands.

> "About half the 10 year olds I know (which is more than a few) have phones with no filters on them."

This is on parents (and how they are educated around parenthood) IMO. Notice the comment about Reddit, even with all the sanitization it's ridiculously easy to find very hardcore (in every sense of the word) stuff.

In the same way that you hold hands when you walk past a busy street, you cannot expect the internet to be a safe place. As a parent you have the responsibility here.

How do they verify your identity?
