Thank you for posting that.

How will this affect applications using your API? Roll20, for example, has SoundCloud integration to play music while a game is going on. Will ads play when music is triggered this way? If so, why would anyone continue to use this feature of Roll20?

It sounds more like they're trying to implement the *BSD userland in systemd so it's available on boot.

Coming soon to the systemd codebase: we'll be Katamari-ing all over busybox! When will we be big enough to absorb Wayland? Stay tuned!

>It's nice that we have a source of news that is not beholden to advertisers or corporate interests (although the number of 'This content was made possible by donations from...' I hear at the end of the larger shows is a bit worrying).

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing, ain't it? The vast majority of NPR's funding comes from advertisers, excuse me, underwriters.

Edit: Well fuck me I'm wrong. Carry on, citizen.

>I wish SSH had a narrow kind of delegation capability... E.g. if instead of ssh-agent having access to the key, it used the key to sign a tuple like {time-limit, [host-ip], ephemeral_pubkey}, then forgot the private key, and used the ephemeral key to actually authenticate to hosts— but they'd only accept it from the listed host ip set and during the specified time limit.

So Kerberos? You can do that with Kerberos and the GSS-API in OpenSSH already.

When will website authors learn that you control the content but the client, by virtue of owning their computer, controls the presentation. At best you can make suggestions. At worse you're at the total mercy of the user.

If you want to give out indelible images then go back to print.

>If your objective is 50/50, you need to encourage more women to enter the field [programming] rather than complain it isn't 50/50. 74/26 makes it mathematically impossible for every company to hire a 50/50 split.

It's not mathematically impossible. You'll just have the "excess" 48% of the population working in fields that have the opposite gender balance. (Whether or not this is desirable is an exercise left to the reader.)

After "cloud to butt" and "disrupt to bullshit" how long until there's an arbitrary regex replacement addon for Chrome/Firefox so we can stop writing new plugins and just add new replacements?

>Prostitution is a victimless crime. Human trafficking is not. Unfortunately, without legalizing and regulating prostitution worldwide, it's impossible to disambiguate between an autonomous sex worker and a human trafficking victim. But sites like these can really help with that disambiguation.

>The FBI should be working toward this disambiguation. It should be filtering out the sex workers from the human trafficking victims, because the latter are the only actual victims in this business.

Have you ever considered that the opponents of legalized prostitution want it this way? They want prostitution to be conflated with human trafficking, rape, and violence against women because nobody is for those things. They want to be able to use that as their major emotional argument to circumnavigate logic and reason so people react based on emotion, not reason.

As I recall, best practice for running an exit node at home (if you want to do it) is to have a separate Internet connection for it. That way you keep your traffic separate from the exit node traffic.
