throwup

I had a Discord account created in 2015 that I had always used with their Android app. Then one day I logged in with Firefox and boom, suddenly and permanently banned. I'm not sure what the lesson is here... maybe avoid uBlock and submit to the surveillance?

Beggars can't be choosers. If you're going to reject every open source solution, you might as well just sign up for Stripe.

Hasn't ollydbg development stalled? What do you use it for that x64dbg can't also do?

Expiration dates are not required on (now called classic) tokens.

The irony is forced expiration will probably hamper adoption of the new tokens. Especially for low risk read-only tokens, I would rather deal with coarse permissions so I don't have to deal with constant alerts to rotate my tokens and having to update my app configs and re-deploy etc. I hope they reconsider this. By all means make me click through a warning or whatever, but at the end of the day I'm an adult, let me make my own decision.

Has ddevault ever commented on how much build minutes will cost out of alpha? From their pricing page it seems like a fixed monthly cost for unlimited minutes, which doesn't seem sustainable to me.

I'd love to see a smaller version too! The GPS-tracking-bracelet aesthetic isn't really for me, but I'm still intrigued by the idea.

The key components are a compass and motors, and since 2009 those have been dramatically miniaturized, thanks to the smartphone industry. Combine that with flex PCB and I bet you could fit everything in the form factor of a slap bracelet.

That's still not a debt. If the cashier rings it up, and you try to pay with credit card and your card is declined, you can leave without buying anything. Whereas with a debt, you couldn't just change your mind like that.

And some wallets do this automatically. But if you send a transaction and the change flows directly from your previous wallet to your next wallet, you're not accomplishing much.

Yeah, that one in particular was a pretty bad take. Who cares how many shitcoins people create? Just ignore them. That's like me claiming that the stock market has been undermined because people can start an unlimited number of companies.

> Well, except for the important detail that KYC requirements don't preclude the need for warrants...

Banks and law enforcement frequently share data without caring about warrants. One example: if you send a $10K wire (in the US), your bank may voluntarily submit a Suspicious Activity Report. And since they may be liable if they choose not to report, but are not liable if they do report, guess which option they typically choose?

An oligopoly is not much better.

I prefer to use apps from F-Droid, but when that fails, I use a third-party search for the Play Store that has both of those filters - https://playsearch.kaki87.net/

Your broader point is right though. It doesn't benefit the app devs since 99.99% of users just use the first-party search.

I used to use Dark Sky, which was perfect! It had an auto updating widget with a precipitation graph for the week. Then Apple bought it and shut the API down for non-iOS devices, so I found myself in a similar predicament. Like you, I was tempted to install some 1Weather-like garbage, but I ended up switching to Forecastie. The widget is barebones and it requires 3 taps to get to the precipitation graph, but those are just my own little pet issues. As far as things that actually matter to most people -- it's ad-free, open source, nice and snappy. If you don't like the OP app, I can recommend this one. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/cz.martykan.forecastie/

WSB has been pretty useless since GameStop happened (imho). It's just memes these days, no real trading talk. I'm sure the actual traders all packed up and moved somewhere, but wherever it is, I sure wasn't invited.

In a press release, every product mentioned is the world's most popular product (by some very carefully chosen statistic, of course)

To be clear, it wasn't a vegan company or even anything related to food -- it was a shipping company. There just happened to be someone who worked there who was an outspoken vegan.

I once got in trouble for using Bacon Ipsum as placeholder terms and conditions, since the client's project manager was vegan. I wish I was joking.

And they are probably horribly insecure, like most Internet of Things things. I wonder if a vehicle owner would have legal problems if a script kiddie hacks their license plate.

Rust was still changing quite a lot in 2013. It sounds like you used it back when it had a garbage collector, baked-in green threads, and "~" and "@" sigils everywhere. Rust 1.0 may as well be a completely different language.

Here's a blog post from the same year that proposed removing the garbage collector.
