Private relay is an Apple VPN-like service that only covers iOS safari. That means the SoundCloud app or desktop usage will not receive any privacy benefits.

I agree, I would not willingly suffer certain behaviors of coworkers with severe mental disorders.

However, most of the time people with severe mental health disorders are not a danger to others, unlike what pop culture tells us. It’s only ‘terrifying’ because of general lack of understanding and empathy which is what the post is about. We are capable of emotional regulation— jumping straight to ‘terrified’ and fear serves no one, including us, and shuts us off from a potentially great coworker (John Nash, anyone??) or community member.

Yes, this repo is also an api server which stores peer ids here `https://github.com/kern/filepizza/blob/main/src/app/api/crea... ` and here `https://github.com/kern/filepizza/blob/main/src/channel.ts`. Webrtc implementations typically use a server to connect peers. Without, peers need to exchange id’s to connect.

If I pay $10/month to Spotify and play 2 artists 20 times each over the month, then each artists should get $5. Ignore Spotify fees for this example.

What Spotify actually does is give these two artists some cents per play. Let’s say $0.01 per play, they each get $0.20 from my subscription and the rest of my $10 goes to Spotify.

I recently had our first baby. I created a self hosted web app for tracking diapers, food, etc. Through the delirium of the first month, it’s been so helpful with recalling when and what we did last and staying in communication with my partner without always being awake at the same time. I know there’s other apps out there but I wanted to keep my baby’s health data private. And it’s fun to create a bespoke app tailored to my family’s needs.

Many people diagnosed with severe mental illness, like my brother, have excellent upbringings including a great father. What are you trying to achieve bybsaying this? You sound ignorant and antagonistic to vulnerable people.

The combination of a 17th century poet and far future sci-fi is, at first, rather absurd. But the simple and deep connection to topics on love and humanity, something only poetry can provide, is a a beautiful complement to fantastic and terrifying sci-fi concepts in Hyperion. Empathy, love and human connection are the underlying message of the books despite the fun sci-fi facade. I love this series and recommend it to all.

I couldn’t make it through this long article but loved reading about Severn, Fanny Brawne, and Keats— all beloved characters from the hyperion series.
