Not sure that improves the joke

Thanks for sharing. Although I’m an enthusiastic open source user, I haven’t written any code of significance, so I’m not aware: has anyone made a license where use is restricted to individuals and democratically controlled organizations? I’m picturing that would allow for some degree of profit motive while encouraging things like worker co-ops and excluding venture capital controlled entities.

Well, if you really wanted perfect intonation the best way would be to completely preprogram all the notes using software and remove the live performance by a human part.

Not saying I have a lot of everyday need for a theremin but I think it’s a pretty cool instrument.

You’re welcome! I’d be interested to see your list if you share it somewhere.

A buddy and I were playing with Sonobus this morning. It lets you collaborate on music remotely.

Musicians will know already, but if you’re not aware, the latency (lag) between participants makes it impractical to play in time together. But if you can get it below 30ms then it’s roughly equivalent to playing with someone across the room. Needs a hard wired connection and the other people probably can’t be more than 500 miles away. But for me eliminates a two hour round trip to work on a song.

I may have some insight here: in marketing there are third party services which will “verify” an email is legit. They do this by sending an automated inquiry to that email domain’s servers. Many servers are set up to respond and verify, “yes this is a real address” or “no, we don’t have an address like that.”

Catch is that this allows marketers to confirm, yes, my message will reach a real person if I send it here, and they may send spam. So some services intentionally configure their servers to give no response or a less definitive response.

Without looking into it I would bet that’s what Tutamail has done.

Still annoying that Loudly doesn’t support it, but probably less a question of size/location and more of configuration.

Because the only way Marvel movies know how to ratchet up the stakes is having more and more people die.

So the screenshot is a reminder because when you’re scrolling through recent photos you might happen to see it? Isn’t that kind of like setting an alarm clock that will only go off 50% of the time?

What does bringing it to the front mean in this context? If I’ve already located the photo I want, I can usually do what I need with it. The problem is finding it to start with.

Thanks for sharing this link!

Don’t be a dick

What is a digital concentration camp?

Also I have no idea what this image is trying to convey

That’s what I was getting at, I was trying to understand the mechanism by which they were doing this

From what little I’ve read there are many organizations claiming they can detect AI written content (I don’t know about plugins) but there’s little evidence that they’re accurately able to do so.

When they say access to social media on smartphones does that mean restricting connectivity to certain sites on devices using mobile IP addresses?

I assume they have no mechanism to remove apps from individual devices.

Interesting idea. Sometimes it’s easier to act and come up with something first, then ask other people to join later.

What is your concern about giving your ID to LinkedIn? You mention leaks of IDs, but is that the primary reason? If leaks, what is the worst case scenario?

For me, I think of privacy in terms of other people not knowing my business, not knowing thoughts or activities I don’t want them to, and not trying to unduly influence me, especially using information they may have learned about me.

LinkedIn is inherently about sharing information about yourself publicly. It’s saying, “Hey, I’m {name} and I’m a {type of profession} and here are the types of work I’ve done previously.” So to me, having to give LinkedIn my id isn’t much more of a risk than the endeavor of using LinkedIn anyways. It’s giving away a little personal information in order to gain personal benefit.

I’ve found it to be worthwhile. Since a little over ten years ago I’ve changed jobs twice and both were from headhunters contacting me. I’ve also spoke to a handful of other potential employers via headhunters. I don’t think they would have found me if it weren’t for my profile. So I’d say go for it.

Also for what it’s worth, I don’t think the “ban” is because they object to a VPN so much as people are constantly trying to create fake profiles. Asking for ID is a way to fend off inauthentic users.

Lastly, if you’re not already, I’d strongly recommend participating in a professional association. Despite potential awkwardness of talking with strangers, connecting with someone face to face is a much more effective way of finding work than sending applications out into the void. You’re a real person to someone when face to face and participating in activities, instead of an email that can be ignored. In the group I belong to I’ve seen multiple people show up looking for work and find it.

I really want this to move the needle, please!

Not really. I didn’t see anything unhygienic in terms of the food people were taking home with them.

Well if we’re talking about should Batman exist at all, no. Either as a ultra wealthy individual or freelance crime fighter. I’m just saying in the universe of Batman (setting aside DC overall which raises more issues) it doesn’t make sense that Batman is like “I’m a vigilante, but I’ll let these known repeat murderers off easy.” He’s already taken the judgement of good/bad on himself rather than let democratically appointed actors handle things. So if you’ve already taken that step what’s the fetish for not using a gun?
