If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?
That is entirely up to the author who is creating the original work. They set the license and people can choose whether or not they want to work with the license. If i wanted to use someone else’s work for commercial purposes then i would just ignore any works released under a NC license. I’m not entitled to someone else’s work just because i need to eat
Curious about y’alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze...
Look into a static website built with Hugo. You’ll be creating pages in markdown like obsidian. You can host it locally so there’s no privacy concerns.
If you want it externally facing then there are some options but you’ll need to find a site to host your static website and who you’re comfortable with their privacy policy.
Right, that or it’s a bunch of BS. Either way it can’t be good. At a certain point you need either work experience or a portfolio for what you’ve worked on since your degree. Having only degrees is a problem.
Proton AG will still need to be financially feasible. That is not changing. You can still not give them money if youd wish. They just have backed up their mission statement with actions instead of just words.

You can self host and make it accessible only to you from anywhere in the world.
You might be thinking about its not fulfilling the 3-2-1 backup strategy, but as long as you have a remote copy of the data through some means then you have the remote copy fulfilled.
i once had a customer who wanted their fish “blackened”. Everyone else on staff had tried at some point and the customer always complained it was undercooked. So me being the new gal said id do it. I threw it in a pan and left it there for god knows how long. Then flipped it, left it there longer, and finally threw it into the back of our oven for another 15 minutes. It was literally charcoal when i was done. I was sure they would complain that it was overcooked but those fuckers loved it. They specifically requested me to cook their meal whenever they came in after that. I was just fucking with them the first time 🤷♀️
I need to track cardio with terrain data, but I’d rather not trust Strava with my privacy. I know there are some alternatives, but which one is the most reliable and feature-rich? I don’t have smart accessories, just and android phone. Preferably, I’d like an app that let’s me track added weights for calorie purposes...

Its not any different than how it already was. Initially the GenAI models were all being trained on masses of unlicensed data including data from reddit. The problem is some companies like New York Times are suing for training an LLM off of their data. So in response companies like OpenAI are now trying to reach partnerships that basically license the use of the data (that they already had). This also means that they will be able to continue to have future access to that data as long as the partnership is in place. Whereas some companies without a partnership could start to ban scraping activity or update their terms to forbid training AI off of their data.
Overall these partnerships are a good thing. Licensed training data is good. But from a privacy standpoint, the AI models were already trained on reddit data. This is just formalizing the relationship
Id need a paid haveibeenpwned subscription for domain level support. Proton is adding this to their existing subscription services to add value to what they offer. It’s a smart move, especially once they add in catch-all/SL alias support
Few years ago they killed their killswitch . I believe it was technically still an option but they reduced it’s capabilities so that it wasn’t functionally a reliable killswitch.
I have previously written a lot of code that is hosted on a public repo on GitHub, but it never had a license. It was written as part of my work while working for a non-commercial academic entity, and I would like to add a license before the link to the repo will be included in something that will be made public, potentially...
This is why re-licensing a Free software project, even from GPL-2 to GPL-3 can be really painful: you have to contact each contributor and acquire the right to change the license.
Is that true if you leave in the license the “or (at your option) any later version” text regarding what version youre using? I understood that to mean that even if i accept contributions then my licensing clearly defines it as GPL-3 or later version so I’m able to relicense to a future GPL-4 if i wanted. Or would i still need to get any contributors agreement to relicense?
The problem is that the names weren’t provided by users to glassdoor. If glassdoor stumbles across someone’s real name then they have automatically attached it to the user profile. They’re doxxing their users so now people have to worry if they ever used the service.
It depends on where you live. This absolutely is the present now in some countries. Like China you have to do this and more to protect your identity.
And even if your country isn’t quite there yet, they could still be collecting all that data and just not doing anything with it other than observing and collecting more data on you/ the group.
I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...
Sounds like this was “resolved” on HN and CEO said this was an error, but I’m not so sure. The CEO’s response seems to imply that that communication to/from service reps is true and not made up. The original post shows they have a business practice for cases like this. Plus if the company was willing to settle from their business practice of 20% down to 5% (which in this case was 15k) then that very likely isn’t a decision a service rep could make, so you had some mid to upper level manager make that approval to write-off the $15k and decide that $5k was still owed to the company.
As far as I can tell the only error here is that someone posted about it.
Not to mention the CEO’s response from HN just says this shouldn’t have happened on free accounts, but that begs the question of would this have been any different on non-free accounts where Netlify failed to mitigate a DDoS as advertised?
Essentially. Police or anyone could report an account for illegal activity which is against ToS for all three of the services. From there the service would need to be able to substantiate the claim and then shut down the account. I’ve seen a few cases of proton accounts getting shut down. Proton can’t read emails but they can read headers and if you’ve posted illegal activity in public using your proton email address or if law enforcement/ someone reports you for using proton for illegal activity then proton will be able to review headers to determine if you’re violating ToS. Like a few years ago i think someone was using proton for ransomware, and proton was able to match the headers with emails that had been posted in public, and acct got shut down.
Unfortunately can’t find that specific case but that was one example I’ve seen
The “angie” fork shares the same problem as nginx run by F5: it’s run by a for-profit corporate entity. Even if it’s good enough now, things might change unexpectedly, like it happened with F5.
