    RE: https://mastodon.social/@mrmasterkeyboard/116980326641813344 It is easy to programmatically detect and filter a list of repos by their license. Heck, GitHub has a search filter for it. These companies are just *choosing* not to do this and instead are expecting opt-out rather than opt-in (i.e. *actual consent*) because it&amp;#39;s more &amp;quot;convenient&amp;quot; for them. I need to think through the nuanced issues that might arise from me pulling my code from GitHub.

    @shtrom@piaille.fr I think about this occasionally, but haven&#39;t kept up with the news on it. Last I recall, I did my best to ensure I didn&#39;t have a MyHealthRecord (still not certain I succeeded), and resolved to avoid opening the site just in case it automatically created me one that I couldn&#39;t expunge. We&#39;ve now got this MyMedicare thing https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/mymedicare/about, which seems to me to be a similar thing that&#39;s less risky and privacy-invasive, but a...

    This is such a shitty dark pattern (unsurprising, from a major supermarket). If you&amp;#39;re not paying attention, you could easily thing these &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m Perfect&amp;quot; onions are more expensive because they&amp;#39;re &amp;quot;higher quality&amp;quot;, rather than because they&amp;#39;re twice the quantity, by weight, than the other option. Doubly challenging when they&amp;#39;re stacked so you can&amp;#39;t identify how big an individual bag is.

    Stop 👏🏻 emailing 👏🏻 OTP 👏🏻 codes 👏🏻 instead 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 prompting 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 passwords! Latest culprit is Netflix. I have a password. It&amp;#39;s in my password manager. Ask for it *before* sending me an unsolicited email and making me dig for the &amp;quot;just use a password&amp;quot; option! 🤬

    TFW you find and squash a 14-year old bug: https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/tktview/05a0499f22c12b177c8a8aca0a52d906d7bed8ca

    In related &amp;quot;ew&amp;quot;, having just created an account and made a donation, I&amp;#39;m surprised to see the payment confirmation address me using the name on my credit card/supplied by Apple Pay, as opposed to the name I gave the platform on signup! If I give you a name explicitly … use it?

    Reading specs of the new MacBook Neo (https://www.apple.com/au/macbook-neo/specs/ ). With an A18 Pro CPU (same as iPhone 16 Pro), it seems a great entry-level Mac if you don&amp;#39;t need a lot of grunt, but want the flexibility of macOS over iOS/iPadOS. My main surprise is the USB 2.0 USB-C port. Recipe for confusion!
