Darktable supports it under JPEG2000: https://docs.darktable.org/usermanual/4.0/en/overview/suppor... (Darktable also supports JPEG XL)

Why do you need the API key? Why not just do it like a traditional escrow service: you receive both the money and the item traded to a steam account you own. Then once both are received you send the money and you send a trade request giving the item to the receiver?

I would say self hosting is best. At least if you lose your domain name you still have your emails.

Not updating a web browser is a fantastic way to make your computer very insecure. I understand the desire to keep things the same but personally I would value security above that.

And what is safe? C has well defined, tested, and documented specifications which layout exactly how to use C safely. Languages like Rust are more safe but nothing is just safe. If you are an inexperienced developer it is still very easy to write insecure code in Rust.

Sure, moving to safer languages is good. But it is impossible to rule out the use of a language so established that every major operating system is written in it. It is practically impossible to not use C - safe languages are normally bootstrapped by it and eventually your “safe” code will run in an environment programmed in C.

Oh I see, I thought you were comparing it to the printf style methods but compared to methods that do not take a format string that makes sense.

Why is snprintf slow? I am surprised that it would be slow especially when compared to methods like asprintf that allocate the buffer.

Yes, this is certainly easy to cheat at, but the point is to have fun

In Tom’s videos (which this post is based off) he says that you just have to reach sea water

C++ can be safer but that does not mean it is safe. The fact you have out of bounds accesses, even if it is rare, is not really acceptable in a language that would like to be considered “safe”.

I believe it’s about which numbers it ends with, not starts with

A flat price certainly does not mean no more people want to buy it, or even that a significant number of people no longer want to buy it

> nobody wanted any more Tethers

Can you provide a source on that? I certainly don’t want any Tethers but I know plenty of people that do.

Could you clarify what you mean by “coming through education”?

I would’ve thought that population representation is the definition of underrepresented because it shows they are underrepresented in the population. But I am interested if there is another way to measure this.

Your comment assumes that the parent commenter was male worrying about females taking their place.

It could equally have been a fear that if more than 50% of women are qualified for the job some will have to be excluded.

I imagine they use one exploit to get code execution in iMessage, then another exploit to escape sandbox and execute code in kernel.

Which network do you connect it to? Do you connect it to your home network which all your other devices are connected to and through which all your internet traffic is sent?

Do you use it in your house? Does it then record everything it can see and hear within your house?

It was a while ago but the ones I remember were email subscriptions, custom javascript, and custom instance support in the iOS app.

Thank You for clarifying the reasoning. That does make more sense and makes it more justified. I still think it would be better to at least have the write.as fork be open source even if you can’t ensure stability/any sort of support.

I self-hosted a writefreely instance for a while but I found many features were proprietary and only available in the paid managed hosting (write.as). All features that I didn’t need that much and could workaround however it just made me feel quite dissatisfied with the project.

People self hosting are not likely to be the same people who would pay for managed hosting so it makes no sense to lock features off for them.

I forked the codebase and added stuff myself for a while because even after funnelling users to their commercial option they still do hardly any development, see how long this one line PR I made took to be merged: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/429.

Now I just have a simple python script that makes everything I need in a blog [0] (markdown, resources, mathjax, atom feed and all completely static with no JS). There is no need to have complicated blog services, just compile static html.

How will it find the “correct” license?

Will it check the LICENSE file? Simply having a LICENSE file is not a declaration that all the code in that repo is under that LICENSE.

What if specific lines/files are specified to be under different licenses?

What if the publisher of the repo is publishing it under an incorrect license in bad faith?

Will github be responsible if it tells me the wrong license?

He provided reasons for not providing pictures on the github discussion:

> I'm not posting pictures, because I'm certainly not going to compromise the ongoing investigation of the BKA Heidelberg because some kiddos want so-called "proof" which they will turn around and twist around until it fits their sociopathic logical needs.

Tbh I don’t think it’s particularly relevant whether or not he can convince online people whether he was physically attacked. There is clearly evidence of online harassment and that is enough to justify him stepping down.

I’m surprised by the inclusion of Kraken here as Kraken has very strong AML checks if you want to deposit from a bank account.

My conspiracy theory is that banks are using this as an excuse to prevent their customers from adopting cryptocurrencies. Of course people don’t want to keep their money in banks during these interest rates and if you see 10x gains in cryptocurrency why not put your money in an exchange.

This kind of behaviour should be banned, how does it make any sense to ban everyone from sending their money to a service just because a very small proportion of users changed their mind later. The solution is not to impose these restrictions but to better educate customers.

Luckily my bank has taken the decision to not ban these services.

Well Switzerland is not completely EU so I’m not sure if it has the same data protection laws.

Many companies do not want to take that risk and will ensure they comply by the license.

And anyway, what does it matter if someone steals your code? The point of the GPL is not to prevent people stealing your code but to hope that it at least provides some value to others through good faith forks respecting their freedoms.

I was allowing for cases of different legal jurisdictions or future changes to copyright (which I hope will happen).

And? The point is that they are still able to operate commercially and collect revenue.

No, it’s just about getting compensation back for your work. If Oracle benefits from RedHat’s initial work then it is only fair that RedHat benefits from any improvements that Oracle later makes.

Assuming that Audacity does not have a CLA the GPL license will prevent muse from forking Audacity into a closed source project and continuing their development there instead. Instead they are required to keep any modifications open source, allowing users to remove aspects like the telemetry.

They didn’t necessarily choose FreeBSD because of licensing. Perhaps if FreeBSD has more restrictive licensing they would have still chosen it and had to upstream changes.

If it is so small then just write your own alternative. Otherwise it sounds like the small library is actually quite valuable and perhaps such a license is justifiable.
