My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I’m now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

DuckDuckGo has an app which can block trackers system-wide on Android

Game mechanics can’t be patented, only game assets (character models, etc) I’m wrong!

Satisfies both the unstoppable, never ending march of time AND dad rock: Time by Pink Floyd

I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said “system out of memory”. Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as “Nvidia game scanner service.exe” in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one

Yeah, never thought about this before, but how do blind users deal with captchas?

What’s wrong with Business Insider? Genuine question

I believe they’re referring to lower down in the article, where the researchers analyzed existing extensions on the marketplace:

After the successful experiment, the researchers decided to dive into the threat landscape of the VSCode Marketplace, using a custom tool they developed named ‘ExtensionTotal’ to find high-risk extensions, unpack them, and scrutinize suspicious code snippets.

Through this process, they have found the following:

• 1,283 with known malicious code (229 million installs).
• 8,161 communicating with hardcoded IP addresses.
• 1,452 running unknown executables.
• 2,304 that are using another publisher’s Github repo, indicating they are a copycat.

The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

Yeah, exactly

That’s what NEET technically means, but it’s taken on a greater meaning (especially on 4chan) of “person who lives in their parents basement well past the age it’s socially acceptable, has no social skills/is actively antisocial, has poor personal hygiene, and rarely (if ever) leaves the house”.

That’s how I feel about RuneScape! I don’t find it a particularly fun game, but the music is so great and iconic and fits the game so well, I hear it and want to play.

These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…

Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things

You mean like git sparse-checkout? Admittedly experimental but useful

What do people have against the Mach kernel?

Also, I was just looking this morning at writing something like that Fitbit/influxDB integration for YNAB (You Need a Budget) for visualization in grafana!

I usually don’t pay much attention to the “new software” section, but PerPlexed looks pretty cool! It never occurred to me that it would be possible to create an alternative Plex UI from scratch like that

You should reach out to the authors! I have no clue how they create their “new” section

Also, that CLI trick is crazy! Never knew that and I’m a fairly proficient shell user.
