It’s certainly good, I’m not arguing that. My point is, if the wine team is interested, they can fork the unmaintained project, and work on that. Eventually, people will switch over to the active fork. What Microsoft is doing, is helping the process along, and making it easier. So it’s good, and helpful - but not really a “donation” to winehq.

I guess it’s simply the framing: It was a not very actively maintained open source project. So they’ve decided to turn it over to a new maintainer. Calling that ‘donation’ is a bit pushing it

And who hasn’t contributed any code to this particular repo (according to github insights).

I like the idea, but I really hate that they’ve hardcoded the provider.

I’m somewhat skeptical. What if LetsEncrypt decided to misbehave tomorrow? Would the browsers have the guts to shut it down and break all sites using it?

It seems to me like a MITM hacker can just redirect all requests to a Blockchain node towards their malicious node.

Actually, that’s not quite as clear.

The conventional wisdom used to be, (normal) porn makes people more likely to commit sexual abuse (in general). Then scientists decided to look into that. Slowly, over time, they’ve become more and more convinced that (normal) porn availability in fact reduces sexual assault.

I don’t see an obvious reason why it should be different in case of CP, now that it can be generated.

I see there an access violation…

What social contract? When sites regularly have a robots.txt that says “only Google may crawl”, and are effectively helping enforce a monolopy, that’s not a social contract I’d ever agree to.

That said, you can use a third party service only for sending, but receive mail on your self-hosted server.

What do you mean thousands at a very gradual rate? I don’t think I’ve sent 1000 emails offer the last year. And even if some people send more, I can’t imagine it would be at a pace where that becomes a problem (at least if it’s for personal use)…

If you have a VPS with dedicated IP they you (and only you) have used for a while, would it still be blacklisted?

Let’s be fair, it’s actually about all those people whose password is “password”. But it is annoying to those who use 15-character random strings for passwords.

That’s not very deep. Closer to plain old logistic regression, really.

Never tried magit, but it doesn’t matter. It couldn’t possibly be good enough to be worth using an inferior editor.

The ease with which I can only commit separate hunks with lazygit has ensured I use it for commits, too. And once I’ve opened it to do the commit, I may as well also press P.

Learning git is very easy. For example, to do it on Debain, one simply needs to run, sudo apt install lazygit

I think calling it “dangerous” in quotes is a bit disingenuous - because there is real potential for danger in the future - but what this article seems to want is totally not the way to manage that.

I would say the risk of having AI be limited to the ruling elite is worse, though - because there wouldn’t be everyone else’s AI to counter them.

And if AI is limited to a few, those few WILL become the new ruling elite.
