N.b the slow sun rise with the parallaxing hills on scroll is a great bit of 2000's-style CSS.

It might be more of a send up to Firewatch these days: https://www.firewatchgame.com/

But I'm still waiting on someone to revive 2008's darling, resizing parallaxing: https://web.archive.org/web/20080302013806/https://www.think...

I also perform my own covers of songs in my bedroom for free, thereby saving hundreds of dollars on concert fees.

I’m a heavy AI user at work and I agree, Atlassian’s bot is painful. It’s also “gullible.” It will fail to do something and then just assume it cannot, that it cannot create pages or make issues or whatever.

The only one I’ve enjoyed is Grafana’s. It’s been a joy to use tbh.

> some variation of "why are you sending secrets in query parameters in the first place?" (I'm not)

The example from the blogpost: `http://localhost:4000/patient/{(SECRET}}`

Wherein the logger logs the final URL with the secret.

I think I agree with the masses? It strikes me as an odd place to put a secret.

But to your credit, they also... shouldn't be logging endpoints? Secrets or no. That's basically what this person said responding to your post: https://medium.com/@fsufitch/if-you-are-writing-this-off-as-...

> Postman is, in essence, "looking over your shoulder" and jotting down all URLs you query

It is legal atomic waste, full of the bootlegs that killed music blogs.

But aye, true. Something will be done :)

I have entire albums in my old iTunes library that you literally cannot find online, anywhere. Hip hop beat tapes that were uploaded on a music blog in '07, and the blog was behind a Blogspot adult notice and so it never got archived. Or old PHP-based music forums that did URLs via query param, which only ever got their homepage archived. Old James Blake demos from Dubstepforum whose Rapidshare links have been 404ing for 15 years.

The pace of bitrot is freaking crazy!

Even my library is not what it was, I had two drives fail on me the same day in college and I lost over 100GB of meticulously-tagged 320k and FLAC files.

Forget the calculus of the rooting site... Just leave it offline IMO... One's spying, sneaking LG TV is a genie in a bottle so long as it's never connected.

I swear I’m almost done with it

A good story that touches on this is the Wizard and the Prophet, covering Norman Borlaug's efforts to crossbreed wheat that wasn't too tall, was resistant to blight, etc.

There is entirely too much thought going into this website https://sneezecount.joyfeed.com/reflections-on-the-counting-...

Airgapping.

I'm hoping goverments take stock of what is online that needn't be.

Some cities have laws limiting cashless businesses, as one example of that.

That’s inclusive of have-nots too, alongside the aforementioned no-thank-yous.

United States v. Cruikshank, 1875

> The First Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting Congress from abridging the right to assemble and petition, was not intended to limit the action of the State governments in respect to their own citizens, but to operate upon the National Government alone.

Before the 14th Amendment, your hypothetical was quite possible at a state level.

I do that. Commenter I was replying to cannot, being as they have Lockdown Mode enabled.

Engaging with Torment Nexus Less Found to Lower Stress, Increase Life Expectancy

If you know of a TV that automatically connects to networks without the user's permission, even some tiny brand, please share. I mean that sincerely, I feel like I talk about this every other month with someone.

Towards the bottom:

> Employee counts come from company reports via Yahoo Finance, with Wikipedia used where figures weren't available. They're not necessarily from the same date, and companies don't all count employees in exactly the same way.

> As the McDonald's and Welltower examples show, a company's reported workforce doesn't necessarily represent everyone whose labour contributes to its business.

Well, alright. I'm just not sure how useful this is. There's no way to normalize them but the data's presented as though they were. You also sum employees across sectors which compounds the errors.

We to date have had no proof of this happening. The best I found was someone on a Samsung forum years ago claiming their TV auto-connected to a public WiFi without proof.

Not saying it isn’t happening, nor that it won’t ever happen.

Not only would you not do that, I don't know that you can.

I can send my friends a PDF of a restaurant's menu over iMessage. I think that wouldn't work for you?

> So I thought to myself fuckit I’m going to stick to this shitty little computer program, Soundforge. I don’t know any other programs. Once I change something, I can never un-change it. I can only see the waves. So I know when I’m happy with my drums because they look like a nice fishbone. When they look just skeletal as fuck in front of me, and so I know they’ll sound good.

[..]

>> So does that mean your drums are not necessarily in time?

> My drums are definitely not necessarily in time. When I try and do drums that are too regimented, they lose something. But the moment I put drums where I think they sound good, rather than in time, they seem to have that roll, the swing of the jungle and garage tunes I love.

I tried it successfully in a dream, but the fibrillium outlay eventually caused backflow. I assume they're compensating for that one.

There clearly has been some value in speculation here :p
