Fonzie!

I can speak for Nord’s client sending requests to Google for some reason, maybe not great for privacy thus not great for piracy either.

I can speak well of Mullvad, but advise against sending hundreds of bucks in one go as paper mail is not exactly well secured. There’s another VPN that happily accepts cash as payment and doesn’t need your info but I can’t find it atm…

Dumb answer: Just use a VPN, my guy.

Man, that’s amazing!

Ah but… Nobody uses that! Because then you wouldn’t choose JSON

XML can validate itself and there’s the self-documenting WSDL; so while it has more overhead and an ugly syntax it can make for a more stable and earlier to understand API for your API’s consumers.

It’s fine in PHP, so that catches most server backends.

Ruby as well, it even raises a warning about the string where a bool should be!

Python handles it just fine, as well.

Rust doesn’t allow it, depending on the backend framework and server software this might give issues.

The same goes for C# .NET

So depending on how this is handled a C# or Rust backend might cause the name not to be stored, but then I’d expect nothing to be stored… :/

IMO Kate is just VS Code or Sublime Text but worse. The LSP never works, I can’t have multi-caret editing, it’s harder to extend it’s functionality, etc. etc.

Just use open source VS Code (or better yet VS Codium), at that point.

Great article but is there a petition to sign?

Or anything else I could do?

An adware whatever should also be avoided.

Ouch fair 😅

Even though this is an old one, going by the ID.

Okay but programing or Unix jokes are whole different cake than openly admitting piracy unless you’re Meta.

Hold up is this real?

EDIT Holy fucking shit it’s real: https://xkcd.com/488/

As per Reddit tradition, good bot.

Are you a bot?

I feel I’m going to regret asking this but why?

I was hoping they meant 9 Australian dollars but even then it would be too much.

Seems like they are $1.83 at Walmart if you buy them per 12 ($21.98 / 12 = $1.83 each) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Monster-Energy-Original-Energy-Drink-16-fl-oz-12pk/581272641

To be fair, they’re about 500mL per can instead of about 700mL but still, that would be $2.75 if you convert it to what Lost_My_Mind listed.

Yeah… It was energy drink.

Have you checked software links from the megathread from the sidebar?

I know there’s a lot of links, but that makes it all the more sure at least some of them will have what you’re looking for.

Maybe do something about your opsec…
