Also, accepting donations and sponsorships opens you up to being sued for profitting from copyright infringement.


Bitcoin donations was how I handled it at the time. A little more anonymous especially if you pay for anonymous hosting with bitcoin.


IANAL but purposefully hiding the transactions may just open you up to other legal issues.


Good to know (think about). Luckily, the site is no longer in operation.

EDIT: clarification


I like this post because it validates my opinions!

IMO this is the pinnacle of web design: https://stallman.org/


With 5 lines of CSS added it would be. Currently it's not.

When I read something from Stallman I always take the time to either download the html and convert to pdf or manually add some CSS for font size, line length and centering justifying.


I use my own default CSS, so it's pretty nice to read for me. It's sad that most browsers have crappy default CSS.

It really shines in text-mode browsers, though.


Nice to be able to do even that. Many sites these days won't even let me highlight, which I often do while reading. It is infuriating.


It looks broken, like someone's typoed the css filename



Corn syrup represses the feeling of being full and is also extremely cheap to produce, it might actually make the applesauce cheaper to produce.


>Corn syrup represses the feeling of being full

Small correction, but that study (and I believe there was only one) indicated that fructose metabolism produced less satiation than glucose, not that it actually prevents it. If you add fructose to a food and eat it, you'll still be more full than if you hadn't added fructose, just less full than if you had added glucose.

I think the reasoning was more like this: "Focus groups show that kids like their applesauce sweeter. What's a cheap sugar?"


I think you're forgetting something...

Is the distortion of public opinion by means of the now fairly mature fields of economics, politicology and psyops how things got so bad?

What can a person do to not feel powerless in the face of this?

Did people actually believe that this was ever about drugs and terrorism? Do people still?

Can someone help enlighten me? Are there books I should be reading? Could I even learn to understand why, or can I just strive to bear the weight of this pervasive madness?

I find it very hard to accept the existence and scale of these issues, to accept how insignificantly small I am compared to them. To accept I barely understand enough of them to know that they should be solved, and that solving them will be a long and painful process that I'll have little say in.

It's a very lonely and alienating experience to hold these views and opinions. I wish I knew how to express them better, so I could be understood and understand myself better.

In somewhat news: depression is ungood and our anchor is hitting the couch.


Get an anti-adblock killer list, it's great :)

I basically enable every list in uBlock. Suprisingly it almost never blocks too much, when I get blocked it's consequently for being on a VPN.


I guess it could still make sense for tech-heavy, "we rewrite 50% of our code every month"-companies, like... Google?

Maybe they're mostly running their cloud to iron out the kinks im the API's they use themselves?


And 2017 is the time of Windows XP and WannaCry.

What I'm saying is, those things are all still running in prod. I got an employer off Java 6 just two weeks ago. The next step is all the Java packages that were deprecated 5 years ago.


Right, and Windows XP was deprecated 3 years ago after a 12 year lifespan. That people are still using XP is, honestly, inexcusable. If you want a 10 year deprecation policy for something someone else is maintaining, you should be prepared to pay for the salaries of the engineers who will maintain it for the 5 years after everyone else has moved off the system, or just build your own api ;)


You could use Git-LFS for managing huge data blobs with Git?
