hey, this is a really basic kind of household question, but does anybody have tips on how to not have our liquid soap dispenser accumulate soapy water on the counter under it?
it seems like putting a dish under it would contain the water, but still require frequent cleaning
we just... happen to not have really dealt with this problem until recently, and it strikes us that maybe we can learn from somebody else's experience
this is a home setting, not an office, so points for aesthetics

In more detail: The rules about redirects set up a hoop for third-party tracking which websites can only jump through if the user has recently interacted with them as a first party. So Google and Facebook, but not Criteo, for example.
We'll have to run some experiments to verify that it's really an effective protection, even in those cases.
That was an easier thing to survive than the stuff going on in Texas right now. We have no doubt that people did die from it, even ordinary small-scale blackouts have death tolls, but the weather wasn't so extreme as what's happening now.
We were in some personal danger from heat exhaustion, but we got through it and it's nowhere remotely near the worst we've been through, so we've mostly put it out of our mind. Except...
Google posted, today, about a proposal that corporations should collectively try to stigmatize any open-source software for which the maintainers haven't chosen to publish under their legal names.
Fuck that. Personally we think everyone has the moral right to anonymity. If we choose, someday, to publish software via an anonymous anarchist collective, Google won't stop us.
That really is what it's about. Google wants to put open-source software - which in many cases is written by free, by volunteers, as a service to all of humanity - within the system of state power.
So first off, let us talk about why we're doing this. We've been using Unix command lines for... a bit over 25 years at this point, we think. In all that time we've developed some opinions.
We don't expect this to change the world. We expect it to be a moderately useful tool. We're well-known enough at this point that it's quite possible people besides ourselves will use it, and if so, we'll be happy. We'll also be happy if we're the only ones who do.
Hey, debugging question. We're writing a Rust program that uses raw terminal input (ie. disables line-buffering), and we're seeing behavior that we think is attributable to the Rust std environment resetting the terminal modes on exit. Is that... a thing?
We would like to find where it's documented, if so, or failing that the source for it.
We could get our code working without worrying about that, but we really want to make sure we're attributing the behavior to the correct component.
We're live-tweeting PEPR20! After the break, this will be the thread head for the fourth block of talks ("session"), which will be the last one for the first day. #pepr20
"Product Privacy Journey: Towards a Product Centric Privacy Engineering Framework", by Igor Trindale Oliveira, is now starting.
Why a product-centric approach? Other possible focuses would be compliance, design, engineering, users... #pepr20
