I really believe you.
Linus Torvalds is "fairly positive" about vibe coding as a way for people to get computers to do things they otherwise could not.developers.slashdot.org
If all the people who work at airports told you, "don't fly that airline," I hope you would listen.
When all the musicians who have the freedom to be honest tell you, "don't use Spotify," you might consider other options for listening to music.
If I might weigh in here with some personal experience as an indie artist. I’ll refer to my streaming stats for March 2025 which totalled a bit over four dollars in streaming earnings.
Amazon Music: 6 streams, $0.00
Spotify: 84 streams, $0.00
Tidal: 2 streams, $0.01
Pandora Plus: 3 streams, <$0.01
Deezer: 1 stream, <$0.01
Facebook/Instagram: 21 streams, <$0.01
YouTube: 87 streams, ~$0.21
Apple Music: 27 streams, ~$0.15
Soundcloud: 23 streams, ~$3.78
If you are paying a Soundcloud subscription, a portion of that will go directly towards the specific artists you’re streaming.
I haven’t mentioned Bandcamp as I think of it as a music shop rather than a subscription streaming service, but straight up purchasing music there is a really great way to support your chosen artists.
I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪
The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
omg, so much this ☝️
"""
We value your privacy so much that it only takes four clicks on drab-looking buttons and tiny checkboxes to opt out of our invasive data slurping...*or* you can click the single big green "I consent to being slurped by you and your 9k partners" and we can just move on with our day like pals. So whaddya say, pal?

The easiest way to install chatmail server is a small project written by a single person, meanwhile the #deltachat official server installation process is cluster of unintelligible documentation and a docker image that need multiple commands to setup properly.
How does that one dev build a better hosting experience than a company?
@phnt Please feel free to open an issue at github.com/chatmail/relay describing what you did/intend to do.
It's true that the repository for now targets Debian12 but the deployment client (where cmdeploy is installed) should not be distro-dependent. There recently landed a new documentation side btw chatmail.at/doc/relay/
chatmail service deployment scripts and docs . Contribute to chatmail/relay development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Alright so I got a USB hub that can pass through power as a replacement for my Thunderbolt dock as I suspect the Dock's USB hub was failing and surprise surprise I can't use the HDMI ports on it, not picked up by my laptop.
Oh also the laptop's own HDMI isn't working. Monitor seems to detect something for a split second and then signal lost
alright the new USB hub runs "usbconfig" instantly, but with the old Thunderbolt3 dock it would hang for 2 seconds sometimes. It must have been failing. That explains why I'd have issues with devices refusing to communicate through it properly sometimes without a power cycle of my laptop, even.
could that have also been a reason why I had some weird MacOS issues? That same USB hub in the dock was misbehaving and it was screwing with my Mac?
Who knows. What a weird issue though.
We're told that a gardner named Nick picked some bad seeds out of a cave. This stupid mistake is responsible for his tomato shortage this year.
Erm...This is why we're the social media hampsters, we get stuff wrong.

does it ever count as a real job if you get hired and you sit at a desk for months and months and you never do any work at all because the siloed teams are too busy fighting about what access you're supposed to have and what the scope of your job is?
I had that once. Was the easiest $100k salary I ever made. I never did any work at all.

Johanna (nicht der echte Name der Betroffenen) hat sich dazu entschieden, ihr Schweigen medial zu brechen und beschreibt ne Dynamik, bei der ich mir echt denke "wie? Schon wieder so was?"
"Als schon alles vorbei war, nannte sie selbst es ihm gegenüber eine „unkonventionelle Liebe, die keiner verstehen konnte und kann“. Die Liebe zwischen einer Schülerin und einem fast 50 Jahre älteren Mann."
Das klingt in solchen Dynamiken immer so ähnlich

Mal wieder sieht sich die 40 Jahre ältere und deutlich privilegierte Person nicht in der Verantwortung. Denn man war ja häufig alkoholisiert
"Weckers Rechtsanwalt teilt mit, es sei eine Phase gewesen, in der sein Mandant „sehr viel und über längere Phasen Alkohol konsumiert“ habe. Auch wenn all dies keine Entschuldigung sei, „möchte er zum Ausdruck bringen, dass er damals nicht Herr seiner Sinne gewesen ist“."

Angezeigt hat sie Konstantin Wecker am Ende nicht; es sei eine rechtliche Grauzone, habe ihr Anwalt gesagt, der Ausgang unklar. Weckers Anwalt schreibt, er möchte „für Herrn Wecker mitteilen, dass er davon ausgeht, damals keinerlei strafbare Handlungen im Umgang mit der betroffenen Frau begangen zu haben“."
In Beziehungen mit (großen) Machtgefälle kann Verhalten missbräuchlich sein, ohne dass es strafrechtlich relevant verurteilt oder angezeigt werden würde. Das macht es für Betroffene nicht weniger traumatisierend

"Manchmal habe er sie am Telefon aufgefordert, mit ihm zu masturbieren. Sie habe es nicht gewollt, sagt Johanna heute, aber aus Sorge, er könnte das Interesse verlieren, will sie so getan haben, als hätte sie mitgemacht."
Auch emotional ausgeübter Druck kann zu sexuellen Grenzüberschreitungen führen und ist dann nur eine weitere Form sexualisierter Gewalt - auch wenn der 63-jährige als verantwortliche Person der Meinung ist, das nicht gecheckt zu haben

„Ich will als erwachsene Person für die 15-jährige Johanna einstehen, weil es damals niemand getan hat“
Das erfordert für Betroffene so viel Mut und Kraft. So viele Betroffene leiden leise. Dabei gilt auch hier: Die Scham muss die Seiten wechseln
