It's part of the webpage title itself (which uses the subtitle of the article + " – Procreate", so there's at least some plausible deniability :).

Read the title as an order to reproduce myself

The " – Procreate" is absolutely not necessary in the title, the submitter knew what they were doing.

My phone isn't getting slower, but rather the OS running on it becomes less efficient with every update. Shameful.

The DMCA has absolutely ruined a decade+ long hobby of mine, which was streaming/content creation. I used to have really fun streams not that long ago that featured a variety of relaxing/cool music set to the backdrop of me messing around on the computer, or in some game. Everyone was fine with this arrangement for a long time. Then, things suddenly changed a few years ago. First your VODs would get yanked and you'd get a warning if you played some extremely popular song, and it was like ok, I understand that. But now it's even spread to in game audio of a game I literally have purchased. That is ridiculous to me. There are games I actually cannot publish playing with full audio settings enabled. That is ridiculous no matter your views on the DMCA, and I'd even go farther and say it's completely ridiculous that I cannot use audio I have purchased or somehow leased on my own content. Why does it have to be this way? Someone can try to convince me this is somehow sane or necessary, but I really doubt it.

My guess as to why it's necessary to nuke all potentially copyright audio is that the platform is liable for infringement, and as a result they have a policy to shoot first and ask questions later. This is justified because in overwhelming majority of cases the streamer does not have a license for the audio.

In the case that the copyright audio is coming from a game, there is no way currently for the platform to automatically verify that you have a license or not, so once again they shoot first, ask question later.

This is unfortunate, but as usual, bad actors ruin the commons for everyone.

It seems like it would be a neat, happening place to be. But how dangerous would it be to live and work there? Is there the potential for the rockets to blow up and destroy the city or anything like that?

Working at SpaceX that may just be a hazard of the job, but if they want the location to be a real city with a post office and school and cafes and shopping and all that, it probably wouldn't work. But I'm not too familiar with how likely or how big adjacent city affecting disasters could be.

Forget safety, but wouldn't adding more people around the launch site make the required permits even more difficult to get? You have to close the roads, the beach, issue "over-pressure event" notices, and so on.

In the official Multi-Account Containers add-on, there's an option for "Always open this site in..." where you can chose a container. How does this differ?

Different containers for different paths on the same domain. Obviously not a common use case, but it's there. It's fully programmable, so you can open a different container based on the current phase of the moon if your heart desires it.

Yes! I need this. I have a separate youtube container for background listening videos where I want the video quality to be set low. I want a container so that I don' t have to change quality back and forth when watching videos at full quality. Currently, I have to manually open a container tab and then navigate to the channel.

The linked "Services Agreement" doesn't appear to be specific to this "Connected Experiences" thing, but is rather the basic agreement required to use any MS software. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but opting out of this won't restrict MS from having a license to all Your Content?

Mozilla is definitely doing the right thing by reviewing the extensions, but the issue here is that were wrong, they found issues that didn't exist (such as claiming it contained obfuscated code and collected private data).

It appears the issues were found using simple heuristics (e.g they detected string pagead2.googlesyndication.com in a comment) and these detections weren't then manually reviewed as claimed, which is wasting everybody's time.

Why does lying about manual review seem so commonplace?

For example, during basically any YouTube copyright or moderation controversy, there is always "manual review" of videos that have obviously been caught in automated systems that in case of actual manual review, would be cleared of problems by any reasonable human.

Great article, love to see claims backed up with examples. It's one thing to say "jai's meta-programming capabilities are a Big Deal", and another to see it in action alongside competing languages.
