While I hate paywalls, too, I encourage everyone to click the link anyway.
Every time you use an archive link, you are one less metric in the voice of telling these sites what you want to read.
Firefox Reader Mode works just fine for most pay walls, including this one, while still registering the metric for a conversion.
“Auto complete generated 30% of characters”
Fixed it.
I’ve been thinking about making an nginx plugin that randomizes words on a page to poison AI scrapers.
This is why I use things like Docusaurus to generate static sites. Vulnerability injections are pretty hard when there’s no code to inject into.
I’m such a nerd I read this as Brown Coats and thought “why would they be terrorizing anyone?”
And it’s almost 2 years old.
Did 4chan return from the hack?
I think you mean, Em Spaint.
Publishing this on PeerTube is also a problem. I mentioned this in another post, but to expand, I really, really, want to like PeerTube. But:
IMO PeerTube could be great, but it has a lot of shortcomings that aren’t solved by adding features and fixing bugs.
Switched from Ubuntu to Debian this year. With one extra GNOME package install, its basically the same without snaps, so perfect for me.
@trk@aussie.zone @ing since you mentioned Ubuntu. I also switched from Ubuntu Server to Debian for the servers, too.
I’m guessing you either:
a) Were fortunate enough to go to uni when I did, when it was cheap
b) Have had, or had a family with, lots of disposable income
Times are different now, unfortunately. Uni is now a pathway to a job to pay off uni debt. It’s not what it used to be.
Vector is still pixel maps. Open an SVG in a text editor 😉
Slackware in the early mid-nineties. But of course there was other Unix variants before that. And what was it called, OS/2 or something like that?
UnitedHealthcare has defended the company and Thompson. In a December statement, UnitedHealthcare said “highly inaccurate and grossly misleading information has been circulated about our company’s treatment of insurance claims” and that it “approves and pays about 90% of medical claims upon submission.”
Having worked with insurance companies, this is a PR metric. Volume of claims in no way equals cost of claims. If the denied 10% are suspiciously on line with the procedures that contain the top 40% of costs, there is a problem.
People don’t care if you covered a generic version of a bottle of Tylenol, they care if you bankrupt them or leave them with no hope.
Yea, and in this instance, they were using a free font.
Personally I think the artistry in the typeface itself is what should be protected.
If you copy a font, bitmap or not, you’re doing it as a pixel map on a pixelated monitor.
Yes, and:
You can point Immich to your photo uploads as an external library, too. Then make a cron job to rescan regularly.
That being said, I now have my old photos as external libraries and new stuff directly in Immich. After using it a while, I realized that it’s just that good.
Funny, but fonts can’t be copyrighted.
They say the ad used XBand Rough, an “illegal clone”.
If you redraw an entire font, pixel for pixel, manually, it is not an illegal clone. This happens all the time. The creators of the ad just used a copy that was free.
So ironic, yes, illegal, no.
Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.
Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆
That is a very interesting git repo. Is this just a web view into the actual git folder?
