Under what definition is the US economy in a recession?
People can keep clamoring for it, but the only recession the US is possibly in is a “vibes based” recession.
The vibes are off though

Ouch. And to think these people will have to to use their former product to get a new job. The only time you really need LinkedIn.
Ouch! That freaking sucks.

Bandcamp is where I go to buy DRM-free FLAC music. I hope they won't shut it down.
ototoy.jp (requires VPN unless you're in Japan but they don't care where the billing address is.)

The iTunes Store never went away and fits your description.
I was under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that music you purchased in iTunes had to stay in iTunes. Can I take my files where I please or do they have to reside in the Apple walled garden?

I use Bandcamp a lot. Tbh, if I had acquired Bandcamp, in efforts for streamlining, I probably would have laid the editors off too. I've never read a single bandcamp article. Did anyone actually read them, especially enough to justify their cost?
Nope, the only time I discovered music on Bandcamp was when some indie label was selling their whole catalog for a low price and I got the whole bundle. 99% of the time, I knew what I was looking for and came there for the lossless digital releases and/or to support the artist.

Anyone have some good alternatives for downloading loseless and DRM free music from artists?
For Japanese artist I use ototoy.jp but that's a small subset of my library.
Guess I better get what's on my wish list while I can!
Aww, I was most excited about the release song! Is it not happening anymore?
Also looking forward to artwork merch but that's still for 7.3 on their shop, maybe it will be updated in a few days?
OpenBSD has a reputation for being super secure but are there any big organizations that actually use it for security critical applications? A quick search shows outdated or non-related results.
I'm possibly motivated by different reasons than other users but I think an understated feature of OpenBSD is that it's simple
The unique security features are nice but really there's a lot to say about how simple an OpenBSD system is to use and configure.

Do you use your apple ID to log into your kids/spouses devices or do you have some kind of setup where they have their own apple ID but you just login with yours for purchases? Genuinely curious. If it's the latter, I didn't know that was a thing.
"Unfortunately, large swaths of the security community are fixated on avant garde horrors such as the fact that, during solar eclipses, pacemakers can be remotely controlled with a garage door opener and a Pringles can. It’s definitely unfor- tunate that Pringles cans are the gateway to an obscure set of Sith-like powers that can be used against the 0.002% of the population that has both a pacemaker and bitter enemies in the electronics hobbyist community. However, if someone is motivated enough to kill you by focusing electromagnetic energy through a Pringles can, you probably did something to deserve that. I am not saying that I want you dead, but I am saying that you may have to die so that researchers who study per-photon HMACs for pacemaker transmitters can instead work on making it easier for people to generate good passwords."
I feel like the same thing applies when we are talking about these kind of attacks. I mean right now the latest version of express currently has a dependency on a library that has a known RCE. I mean listen 99% of us work in a company where if someone wanted to steal our information they'd pay the janitor $500 to grab it on his way out. Is this really a huge priority?
It is for people who rent out slices of a computer to a bunch of different people and promise that the script kiddie that lives on the same machine as you can't steal your members-only cat photos (e.g. cloud providers.)
