I suppose a smaller attack surface could be considered a sort of obscurity. Its also just practically less to defend.

Certainly. They are also larger targets.

Always amusing to see this saying on _license plates_ of all places. Idk if a snake can look pathetic, but I always read them with a "please, mister," in front of them.

I tell my friends and family to never use "unsubscribe" links unless they have a close relationship with the sender. How folks decided directing people to click links in spam email is beyond me.

Saying yes is not equal to "provides the requested information." If you use models for affirmation instead of information, this is a more reasonable concern.

The only winning move...

My boycott has worked flawlessly.

Privacy would mean dominoes not having your private data. Them having it and using it for marketing, and resale purposes, etc is not private.

Very much agree. I am very explicit about real life dependency management because of years of knowing (being forcibly taught) how important it is for my dev work.

Existing abstractions can be easily applied to similar contexts, but designing abstractions seems backwards. The system abstractions should be grown and extracted from the working code. Idk how you know the right thing without going through the complexity of building it.

Cloudflare says I'm not allowed to view the page. At least they are protected from "attacks."

It seems normal for the target of forced resource extraction to not even view it as sharing, or see it in a positive light. Helping your neighbor when in need is one thing, being coerced into funding whatever some distant bureaucrat wants is another.

And will reference transient working docs in code comments.

I've used Protnmail before and had the same issue. I think enabling something like "full local indexing" or something made it better.

CL is one of the final bastions of sane computer communities. Mostly by not trying to be a community.
