Looks like it checks for the referrer in main.js and adds the uppercase text-transform if you come from HN:

  let host;
  if (document.referrer) { host = (new URL(document.referrer)).host; }
  if (host === "news.ycombinator.com" || host === "lobste.rs") {
    let style = document.createElement('style');
    // let transform = host === "lobste.rs" ? 
    style.textContent = `
      body { text-transform: uppercase; }
      pre, code { text-transform: none; }
    `;
    document.head.appendChild(style);
    console.log("HN readers clearly can't handle the typing habits of the average trans girl.");
    return;
  }

It seems the suggested solution is to use server credentials that lack delete permissions (and use credentials that have delete for compacting the repo), but does that protect against a compromised client simply overriding files without deleting them?

What extensions are you using for C# on code-server? AFAIK the official C# extensions from Microsoft (C# base and dev kit) aren’t licensed for non-vscode use.

IIRC TextEdit.app has options like smart quotes, auto capitalize, and spell check turned on (in addition to being rich text by default), so you have to change all those to be a dumb plain text editor.

Does anyone know of any similar works that instead focus on a common law background (US/UK/others) vs civil law (EU/most of the world), that I am understanding this book focuses on?

This is a topic I am very interested in, but since I am from the US I would prefer to start with law as practiced here.

Edit: only skimmed and it seems this book may be both EU and UK focused. Seems to be funded by the EU European Research Council but published by Oxford?

$45k per month. Annually it's > $540,000

Also, updates do count.

"A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store, an alternative app marketplace, TestFlight, an App Clip, volume purchases through Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, and/or a custom app."

For the purposes of this demo, latency has been reduced and Gemini outputs have been shortened for brevity.

Seems like this video was heavily editorialized, but still impressive.

For security reasons, we do not have Chrome crash reporting enabled.

We also confirmed with many of our affected users that they had Grammarly installed on their computers.

Ironic.

I’m currently traveling internationally with an iPhone 12 and I can confirm the single eSIM + single physical SIM limitation. Although, in my case, I'm using a physical international SIM and a US eSIM.

I would love to turn off my US eSIM when not in use (I think it uses more power connected to two cellular networks) but that would require unenrolling my US iMessage number and I can’t do that. Definitely the most annoying part of the whole thing.

I considered using a spare iPhone to host a physical SIM with my US number because that would allow the number to stay bonded with my Apple ID and potentially forward SMS over iCloud, but I decided not to because in my experience the SMS part is too flaky to be relied on.

IANAL but I believe you are incorrect about the rights you grant GitHub. They are still bound by the license you set in your repository, including any copyleft in GPL or attribution requirements. GitHub TOS sections D.4-D.7 spell out the license that you must grant GitHub in order to host code there. “You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as necessary to provide the Service, including improving the Service over time.” Notably, see also section D.3 which states “If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting GitHub the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required.” I would think any open source license would be sufficient license for those things, like storing and displaying code, and I would think this clause is primarily for code without a clear license not already granting these terms.

To your point about redistribution, see this clause in D.4: “This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content. It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service, except that as part of the right to archive Your Content, GitHub may permit our partners to store and archive Your Content in public repositories in connection with the GitHub Arctic Code Vault and GitHub Archive Program.”
