Ha, when that is even possible. I've seen github pages where the issue tracker is disabled and the readme says to give bug reports on discord.

Discord was supposed to replace and combine IRC and TeamSpeak, instead people are misusing it a "replacement" for issue trackers, forums, wikis, and even distributing their files from there, and it's infuriating. And eventually the enshittification will cause Discord to fail, and suddenly over a decade worth of discourse and projects will just be irreversibly lost as nothing said there is indexed by any search engine.

Tweets are a specific type of a microblog post you do on twitters. Have you tried tweeting, make your own twitter at https://joinmastodon.org/ today!

Reddit is fun is fun for Reddit. The WP is just WP, just like RIF is just RIF.

Yup. Helium is such a tiny thing it can diffuse through almost anything, and in MEMS oscillators which are supposed to be at a rock solid 32kHz, causes variance in the frequency eventually just "gumming" it up entirely and causing it to stop working.

If you want to know how and why, Applied Science did a video on it. Five years ago. Because that's when this leak happened.

And the ones most likely to quit are ones that feel they have a good chance of easily getting another job due to performance/experience/education, leaving the company with the people unsure and desperate to keep the job.

This surely improves quality, productivity and motivation at the work place, yup yup.

Yes, because it used to be"Reddit is Fun", which wasn't okay. That was the point.

WP Engine for WordPress.
That seems to be the commonly accepted solution if you look at other 3rd party trademark cases - situations like "RIF is fun for Reddit" coming to mind.

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users. -https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#5-license-grant-to-other-users

License can't really revoke that.

Bigger problem is the No Derivatives clause of the CC licence, as compiling or forking the code creates a derivative, so it's now a project nobody is allowed to use (or distribute) in any other form than their exact, precompiled releases.

In fact, as the GitHub terms of service specifically require you to allow forking - as recently demonstrated by the WinAmp project - I wonder if CC ND is even possible to be used in GitHub in the first place.

In Youtube, where you can get entire movies or 5-hour live streams as ads? That reality? Where the limit for a skippable mid-roll add is anywhere up to 12 hours?

And when the pampers ad is 24 second long and the walmart ad is 55 seconds, even if they start at the same time, they won't end at the same time, and now the next ad, even if it starts at 5:00 in the video, starts at a different time as well.

[Edit] actually, it doesn't matter. Old timestamps need to work, so when a user links to 5:00 in the video,the actual video stream needs to align with that, but the ad will be injected to the stream before. So trying to jump over the ad would just play you another ad first.

 

I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I'd still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.
