Do you have a source for this? Interested in reading more.

Unless it’s your personal summary, in which case curious what sources you used, or if it’s from an LLM in which case I’ll just ask it myself.

It’s an interesting time we live in.

I personally don’t assume people who use whitelist are racist, or those who allowlist are virtue signaling.

However, I certainly do assume that people who chastise others for using “whitelist” are virtue signaling, and those who deride people for using “allowlist” are racist.

Both are easily understood and I generally assume good intention from people. Just live and let live.

Allowlist is arguably fitting for a list of things which are allowed.

Cool, you’ve said all you needed to. You can now safely be ignored by our entire industry as far as I’m concerned.

Enjoy your lack of vertical mobility!

Out of curiosity, what’s the last “real problem” you solved?

Then just find a new career maybe? I sure as hell wouldn’t hire you at this point.

Glancing over your comment history, this seems to be a trend for you; being intentionally abrasive/provocative for no reason. And you get downvoted to oblivion as a result, so I'd hope you understand by now that your comments aren't appreciated.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion and welcome to share it, but don't be surprised when that begins having repercussions on your career, and don't be surprised when people on this forum in particular don't respond well to it.

HN is focused on technology and business, not so much politics or your personal opposition to making historically oppressed individuals feel more comfortable in tech, a traditionally white & male dominated space. If you're going to make reasoned arguments around why changing the name of a branch has a demonstrable negative impact on your life, please do. If not, this isn't the place to air your grievances with crass and unproductive comments.

That was my Google Play Music use case as well. About a year ago I set up a plex server on my NAS and bulk downloaded my GPM library onto it (which to google’s credit was easy to do). Now I have them on my own hardware, and accessible on the go with the Plex app. It’s a better experience for video than audio, but it’s totally serviceable.

There had been murmurs for a long time of Google Play Music going away, so I moved off ASAP. Looks like that was a good call.

Brand new account, named “modsRapple”, with only this comment. Safe to ignore.

That’s not realistic if you ever go on call. When you’re responsible for the uptime of a service and people’s first line of contact for issues is a slack message, you need to always have it be in a state to interrupt you.

Your personal website is down, btw.

Humor is subjective.
