I love the Idea, and I think it's pretty smart. When I'm doing work on my laptop, I always have my phone nearby. I think it's unlikely that both of them are compromised or stolen simultaneously.

Also, the Android app requires no device permissions, haven't seen that in a while.

You're obviously very frustrated by how people see the service, but you can't blame them.

The GIMP incident made pretty big news, and for many people, the name "SourceForge" will stay equivalent to a malware-injecting host. Anyone who decided to keep the name should have anticipated that.

Yes, it really is. Although I had absolutely no intentions of creating a game, I tried it out a few months back just because it's such a well-made project with an active community.

An online toolchain would be a nice concept in theory, but at least on my laptop, performance is still an issue.

Online IDEs still eat up a lot more resources.

It may be increasingly hard to find because employees see things differently now. It's a job market. My employer wants me to put in overtime and go out of my way to improve the company? Great, let's go. But I demand appropriate compensation.

I think that's a reasonable position. My company treats me as a human resource, I treat my company like my client who writes checks for the work I put in.

What I find interesting is that people who like those mate drinks are quite brand loyal (at least in my experience).

I've tried at least 10 different brands since I had my first Club Mate 15 years ago, and I hated every single one of them. A few friends hate Club Mate and only like a single other brand.

Let's hope this takes off and leads to regulating the oceans.

For example: industrial, unregulated fishing destroys coral reefs every day. They are thousands of years old and won't come back.

I'd like a dead-simple and globally accessible way of donating.

Like github/gitlab/etc allowing to easily deposit money via CC, Paysafecard, Google Wallet et al. The projects could have a "donate" button by default.

I often clone and browse projects and absolutely wouldn't hesitate to donate a few dollars here and there if it's just a click away.

The burden of compliance lead to many businesses scrambling to meet the deadline or else they would pay fines up to £17.5million (€20million).

I can't hear this anymore.

Downloading YouTube files is ridiculously simple.

There you have all stream files in a nice json format, which means opus and m4a for audio files.

I have a python project which is very quick to gather metadata, because I wanted to have a responsive YouTube app without using the browser. Had no time for it recently, though.

And how can be a business sustainable in this way?

By not building their entire business around ads and tracking.

> A colleague once tried to put a flatworm in his mouth, Justine recounted. The man still describes it as “one of the worst experiences of his life.”

You just gotta love scientists.

Is safety a real concern here? I would have never viewed Kinder Eggs as dangerous in any way.

I haven't found a single case of a child getting hurt in Germany. Only news reports about them being unhealthy (big surprise).

I'm willing to invest if you also incorporate a neural network. HMU
