There should be a rule about this kind of posts. If there isn't already.

Importantly, in that rule:

> Complaints about paywalls are off topic, so please don't post them.


It’s the same as posting paywalls articles. There’s no need to make a new rule. If the users can’t read it, the conversation will simply devolve into title commenting.

By that logic links to the FT and the WaPo also couldn't be posted. Which I guess is a fair position to take, but seems too limiting to me.

What meaningful conversation can you have about an article you can read beyond the headline?

Just because you don't have access doesn't mean that people with access should be disallowed from discussing it. It just means you can't really discuss the article, but that's never stopped anyone from commenting before

Sadly, knowing most people, headline is rarely read past even when it isnt paywalled

> seems too limiting to me.

articles restricting most users from reading them seems too limiting

ban all sites with paywalls/login walls including Twitter, NYT, FT, Business Insider, literally all of them


For anyone who doesnt know: changing the x.com or twitter.com in a twitter link to xcancel.com usually works to view tweets without an account.

(If I remember right, some video links dont always work with xcancel.)


WSJ and Bloomberg offer "gift links" that paid users can share. The latter is only good for 7 days IIRC, however.

Seems pretty easy to have a bot automatically try to create an archive link and comment it.

There are plenty of posts every day that don’t require you to get through a paywall - I personally just ignore them. I imagine there are only a handful of paywalled articles a week, and most of them end up having an archive link in the comments anyway

Ok, anyone care to gather at a coffee shop so that we can discuss the print version?

You guys haven't been going to the meetings?

No, my horse broke down so I've been stuck at the farm.

You have a /horse/?! Well laadeedaa

It is funny how things that were completely ordinary 100 years ago are now considered luxury items. I suppose it's because we don't use them for the same purposes (previously transportation and as "work horses") and because feeding/housing/mucking is now a burden for city/suburban dwellers.

Someone should point their LLM at creating a web plugin that just overlays a comment section & wiki style editing for archive and other similar websites. Then we can do the same thing LLMs are doing to invalidate primary sources.

I am not sure what is forbidden. There was a YT video about computer they were using for business. It was stripped down OS (windows xp?) that only had office apps, or something like that.

I am unable to find the video, but here is an interesting story: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/02/25/172886170/a-co...


Yup, people who are into niche hobbies can be almost obsessed with it. Like a guy having 50 zippo lighters, or someone having collection of retro consoles. Same here, people are building more than one keyboard because they love it.

> Employee owned co-ops are more humane

Speaking as someone born in Yugoslavia.

That's almost how it was in Yugoslavia. Companies where "owned by society", but workers had voting rights. Whenever there was a vote to decide whether extra profit should be used for capital investments and/or operational improvements or assigned to salaries budget, everyone voted to increase their salaries.

Not every employ should be a co-owner, or at least not everyone should have voting rights.


Did you know that public market shareholders almost always vote for stock buybacks


You still need free market economics. If consumers have enough choices then the company with comfortable employees that refuse to invest profits into their operation will lose to the better organized competitor prioritizing a balance between the two.


An employee-owned co-op results in extremely high risk concentration. If your co-op experiences a downturn, you are likely to lose your job and see the value of your share of the co-op decrease.

There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs. - Thomas Sowell


> The default sign in flow with the app enabled is email + authenticator. No password required

Isn't this only if browser have some cookie from previous session or IP didn't change?

Edit: just tried (new IP + private window firefox), you are right, I can enter email and select app notification.


I think they were comparing CLIs, not VS extensions.


Most of these problems could be solved with something like wasm/wasi where you can limit access to web, disk, etc... WASI is made to run code you don't trust, you could even limit compute third party is using so they can't mine crypto (I think it's called fuel limit). Ideally we would have whole IDE run in this kind of environment where we can explicitly say what it can and can't do.


That's why we have "youtube.com is now full screen" message.


Yes, but this "emergency" UI of the OS could be improved I think. (Also that functionality could have been build easily with normal DOM and JS, cancel and override all events, etc)


I worked for a payment processor in Europe, we provided SEPA and some other payments, but not card payments (so there could be some difference).

Difference is in fees and licenses. Payment processors that process high risk payments (adult industry, gambling, etc...) have higher fees and need license from governing body (usually a national bank in country where the payment processor is registered). So if you process high risk payments as low risk you will get a fine from governing body and you risk to lose your license. And if you don't have a license for high risk payments you cannot process them.

I don't work there anymore, but I heard they lost SEPA license a couple of years ago because of risky transactions.

Now I am not sure if Visa and Master are forcing payment providers to give up high risk transactions or if they are forcing them to classify all transactions as low/high risk.


And domain is different than original Notepad++, now it makes sense.


Different yet similar enough to make it seem legit at first. The only "giveaway" for me was the website looking like any other vibecoded SaaS website. Not a good sign for me personally.
