@DeveloperMemes hol' up. 232 megabytes?!

@horhik very DIYish, but deploying is what continuous integration/delivery tools do. Jenkins has to be the most well-known, but there are others: https://alternativeto.net/software/jenkins/

For it to react to git activity, you attach to it a webhook from your git hosting service, if it allows that (most do, like GitLab/Gitea).

If by publishing you mean hosting, it's a similar situation. There are solutions: https://alternativeto.net/software/github-pages/ — but even something as simple as nginx on a host folder will do.

@horhik Netlify is quite a package. Which parts are you looking for?

@DeveloperMemes "WHO SAID JAVASCRIPT?!"

And that's not even the end of it — should you actually find that checkbox and uncheck it... it'll show up beside the submit button, hoping to trick you back into consenting.
If you check it, open the EULA and close it... it disappears. Only to be found in its original place, mid-EULA.
What. The actual. Heck.

#consent #privacy #spam #vk #Russia

Major Russian social network VK just hit a new low for "explicit consent": as they're rolling out their new email service, users that are signing up may (but probabaly won't) find a pre-checked checkbox in the middle (!) of the EULA (!!!), consenting to, well, spam.

How is that even legal here is beyond me.

@tindall "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." (usually attributed to H. L. Mencken?)
Proclaiming something to be "fundamental nature" is often times exactly that.

@Gargron @annika then it has the same effect, since it also doesn't need backlight and only expends energy on pixels that aren't pure black.

@drq why, I can think of worse things than that. Like going publicly traded. Because at that point investors become the driving force for the studio, and consideration of players' interests is eventually reduced to a minimum.

A friend of mine recently tried to share a file from his #Dropbox with me. I received a link in an email, but it refused to let me download the file unless I either get an app (on mobile) or(/and?) sign up/in (on desktop).

How am I supposed to be inclined to use Dropbox it cannot accomplish such a simple task as simply sharing a file with a stranger with no strings attached?
