when i download the release, chrome gives me a nasty releasxe that Teapodo...zip is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous.

It may be, may not be. Either way, I'm not opening on my work mac. Do you have a release for Linux, since it's written in rust?

Also, I think if you make it a .app with a developer license from apple, the creepy message goes away.

this sounds good until those businesses you are talking about are fronts for human trafficking.

I love how they say "We used to do X on some non-Google sight, it was so fun; but I can't do that on Google - so GoOgLe hAs FaIlEd anD iS BaD."

Why not just use another site, that you know, isn't Google? Like they suggested, you can search Reddit, or you can search Tumbler, or you can find a Facebook group, or where we found this article: Hacker news.

I miss the yesteryear when people didn't expect Google to somehow be the answer to everything on the web. Here's an idea: your fan sights can co-exist as well as Google.

And the irony is, the authors own blog home page uses a dark pattern to try and convince you to subscribe to their newsletter! Talk about ruining the web for commercial purposes!

What do you mean he didn't give examples? Just throw a dart at any web3 project, and there is your example.

Skiff.org charges $8 USD/month for it's premium service, and it's just an implementation of PGP encryption. I have no idea what this as to do with crypto.

ens.domains is a privately owned and managed DNS provider. It's litterally the exact opposite of what web3 claims to be. Having a "constitution" is just re-wording "Terms of Service". I love how it sells hard covers versions of it's Terms of Service for fiat at Blurb.com. And no, Blurb does not accept cryptocurrency payments even, lol.

Signal.org existed well before they added crypto, and quite frankly, yes I did just about completely stop using it - and so did many others. The introduction of cryptocurrency in that app litterally chased away users rather than improve adoption.

Gawd, could go on forever here.

Ok, I looked. And now I will tell you with great ease.....it is not of a "real productive use".

> They’re (school shootings) not even a blip on the radar screen in the overall “gun deaths” problem.

LOL. Um, IDK, some people might disagree. Some people - like those innocent childrens' parents - might think it's like 99% of the problem.

I'm litterally about to jump from 8 to 17 this week, so that's good to hear. It seemed seamless on my local setup and was wondering if it was just too good to be true. It's a great piece of software.

You are correct about the documentation. I find the tragedy of open source documentation is that the people who need it most - the novices - are the ones whom could write it best - if they only knew if what they were saying was accurate. And then by the time you become an old-timer, and know thy ways, you just want to wipe your hands and walk away, because your tired....and still not sure if all your knowledge is accurate.

But anyway, once it's all figured out, it runs very reliably.

Nice try big government, but a tax will only increase prices for end consumers and will disportionately affected poor people while actually doing jack shit to reduce consumption.

No, there are blatantly obvious things about packaging software that you are missing.

- you will need a copy of each platform running in order to build the binary - it's X-times++ as much work to package for X number of platforms. - The code you chose might not compile well on all platforms without code changes. - Dependency conflicts can be a pain.

oh boy, i could go on.

and by "Americans", you mean "large corporations with wares to sell."

You want to collect usage data from my terminal? I'ma nope right outta there.

And I don't want to tie my github to this thing, i have all sorts of github accounts for legitimate reasons.

I would be glad pay a lifetime licence fee (maybe with a 30 day money back guarantee?) to check it out, but no way am i going to do a subscription model for my terminal.

> The CEO backs them up. lulz. More likely, the CEO says "as long is it doesn't get in the way of our quarterly sales goals, then i really don't give a sh#* and you can do whatever you want."

But sure, we can all dream.

I wish the effect smoking has on the heart was advertised more.

People are terrified of cancer and that's all they think about with smoking, but actually far more people die from heart and stroke related illness after smoking than from cancer. I don't know the exact number, but it's a multitude.
