To #Google users: you can lose all your Google accounts if Google decides so. There won't be any trial, and no option for appeal.
That's privately-held fascism in some way.

@kyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus_hesperus ? What actions did you take? Would be a fright to find...

@mhoye how about including those in a 'tip of the day' format, or a useful changelog as features roll out in new versions? The list was already long enough that I started to skim half-way, even though they seem useful.
@nighthacker2003 basically, the DMCA makes it criminal to break any digital lock, regardless of how effective it is. It's a terrible thing for the world. That said, youtube-dl didn't help themselves by giving specific infringement instructions against RIAA owned media.
@nighthacker2003 @eff no, copyright law covers actual infringement. The DMCA "criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself." (From wikipedia)
@dthompson I have family with both styles. The insert will still throw heat without a blower on, just less efficiently. If you have space for a stove (and don't mind losing the hearth) then that does have the benefits you mentioned. Though we did try boiling water for tea on a couple of them, but if the stove is not specifically built for it, it's difficult/impossible to get the water temp nearly high enough. It is enough to warm water to improve humidity, though.
@dthompson solid plan. Thinking of a wood or a gas insert?
I had no idea that there were publicly accessible outdoor bake ovens in some Toronto parks (that were only recently closed due to the pandemic). Wonder if the idea could be implemented locally.

@flockingbird also, the people looking for a LinkedIn alternative will align with those avoiding github for the same Microsoft reason.
@flockingbird after Microsoft bought github, many people dropped their account or refuse to access it if they have one. The people using sourcehut or codeberg would much more likely be in that set.
As noted in the other thread, if discoverability is the concern, then following the Linux model might make sense (with pointers/direction to the official non-gh instance).
@ehashman the shirts from the diesel sweeties comic may be some inspiration. https://store.dieselsweeties.com/collections/t-shirts
@dthompson better than the bad old days pre-vm where one would brick their main development machine
