Don't let others stop you. Pretend you never saw it
Thank you!

Coincidentally, I started to do media server similar to this 3 days ago.
I just want to serve any folder, then be able to download a file and watch videos with a decent video player.
Now I feel like crap seeing how amazing this project is.

I have nothing interesting to say, but thanks for author and for the one who shared the article. It was a good read.

Is there a good open source version of instapaper? I need to give Wallabag another look - has anyone used it recently?
I tried a year ago and then stopped after few days because it couldn't save properly reddit pages (new design or old design, does not matter).
From my experience it had the exact same behavior as the "Reading mode" feature from browsers. Which was not great overall.
No clue if there is something better than that though.

Yes. Then the evidence was suppressed for decades more. We have no analogy here.
> Precautionary principle should always prevail
Why? Why assume the status quo is perfect? Also, what part of pornography isn't embedded into the human status quo?
> don't use a random pesticide, unless you have a full proof that's it's harmless
There is no such thing as "full proof."
> without cigarette, without GMO and without pesticide humanity would still be fine, and maybe better without (if we stick with the cigarette)
Now do vaccines, antibiotics, filtered water, the agricultural revolution and every other life-saving invention.
> Why? Why assume the status quo is perfect? Also, what part of pornography isn't embedded into the human status quo?
No one said that. But you should fool yourself saying that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
Here is your own quote:
> I have seen zero evidence that any of these games are harmful.
> when you see something that you think is harmful to society, what determines whether or not it's moral and appropriate to advocate for and work towards its abolition
Evidence. If you think something is harmful to society, you have a hypothesis. The next step is to test it. Not assume it's true and ban everything.
I have seen zero evidence that any of these games are harmful. If I had to hazard a guess, and this is again just a hypothesis, I'd actually suspect that a teenager exposed to porn games is less likely to suffer mental-health issues than one on algorithmic social media or forming intimate connections with chatbots.
This is not the correct way.
If cigarette was banned from the beginning, we would still see people getting mad without much evidence.
The truth is the evidence is coming half a century after when everyone got cancer.
Precautionary principle should always prevail.
That's why we just don't go full GMO, and you would still not wait for any proof that "it's harmless".
You also don't use a random pesticide, unless you have a full proof that's it's harmless.
Additionally, without cigarette, without GMO and without pesticide humanity would still be fine, and maybe better without (if we stick with the cigarette).
TL;DR: You actually need a proof, but it's a proof that it's harmless and not the other way around.

Can't backup game save on switch, then what am I doing with these memory cards with switch games data on them?
Yeah.
The website [0] is pretty clear that the content of the game can go into a SD card, but the game save resides only in the internal memory.
You can find some ways to get them with some modding but nothing official.

I strongly agree with the global sentiment.
If you can't actually download a copy of a digital content as a mere file, then you can't really host it and serve it.
You can't host your own Spotify-clone even if you are allowed to listen to songs. However, you can still download music on Bandcamp to feed your Spotify-clone.
You can't host your own your own digital Video Game Store usually because of various DRM, or because it's painful to "export" the content and painful to "import" it back.
Still on the video game side, You can't even backup your game save (at least on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series), it's not because of any copyright infringement or IPs misuse, it's only a way for them to get more online subscription with online game save backup.
There is still a positive side: when it will become impossible to legally own anything, I'm pretty sure some illegal system will enable you to have a massive library of whatever you want at the cost of few clicks and/or a couple of bucks. I'm saying "positive side" even though it's illegal because I mostly talk about the comfort of having your own local library.
I like these, although I wonder about the value of speculating about a performance optimization while neither just doing it nor profiling.
I take it mostly as "I'm aware that it's algorithmically slow and could become a bottleneck if it scales but I have no time to profile it right now" so you create a note to point this out.
TL;DR: it's just a "TODO profile this".
I’m the author and owner of a similar code style/code quality package in a fairly large company and went through a very similar process, culminating with writing our own Roslyn-based analyzers to enforce various internal practices to supplant the customized configuration of the Microsoft provided analyzers. Also, we discovered that different projects need different level of analysis. We’re less strict with e.g test projects than core infrastructure. But all projects need to have the same formatting and style. That too can be easily done with one nuget using msbuild.
Any non-trivial thing to do is a pain to figure out if the documentation is not extensive enough.
I really love C#, but msbuild is one of the weak links to me, almost everything else is a joy to use.
