I'm guessing this was before the law where you couldn't benefit from crimes?

Japan is trusted enough to leave laptops in but not trusted enough to vote :/

I'm on safari without an adblocker, not sure what sketchy stuff my ASN is up to

On: Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc

This is like when Aaron ported Reddit over from Lisp to Python

meaning it doesn't matter except for online discourse about X being bad for 2 days

> It makes sense to optimize society for law obiding people.

I agree, and this system is meant to hold people before they have evidence meaning it can hurt law abiding people.

It's not so bad, I'd say the Christmas PS3 hack was worse

[zuzululu → JCharante]

You don't care that students are impacted but your ps3 not being playable for a short period was more important.

Heard you loud and clear sheesh

they def pay artists more than pennies on the dollar

artists complaining about not making enough is like programmers complaining their 7 star repo on github isn't making them enough on ko-fi

I mean my github is like that but I wouldn't expect to live off it unless I was Evan You

[JCharante]

while I don't like AI music, "Millions upon millions of them, in every conceivable style, for every conceivable mood." is something that's not true. There very often is a gap which forces me to open up Ableton and make edits

On: OpenScreen is an open-source alternative to Screen Studio

[JCharante]

to be fair if you don't know about screen studio why are you looking at an oss alternative?

[bigfishrunning → JCharante]

I don't know about screen studio, but if I were looking for a way to edit screen recordings I wouldn't be searching for an "open source alternative", I would be searching for "open source software"

Defining your project as an open source alternative to another program is a mistake I think

[addandsubtract → JCharante]

Fuck me for being interested in projects posted on HN, I guess.

On: Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan

I don't see how a system that relies on trust can scale safely
