residential proxies should be made illegal.
Note: and manufacturers who do, placed on a list and prevent import/sales. It seems also domestic companies do this.

@krnlg@mastodon.social right, but this seems kinda awkward. looking for updated install instructions?
It might be helpful to understand who they are, and as projects take a stance to do something about this in a more coordinated fashion. shared ip blocks, agent refusal, etc.
WSL can be a great tool to enable cross-platform development from Windows. However, you might have to move machines, ... and what if that is actually not a Windows machine? You can use your exported environment easily in a container runtime like #containerd or #podman I just got my 99G environment with mingw64, android-sdk, etc moved over. ... and can continue developing.

I understood they do not store al lot of this information, but retrieve when needed and on interval; i could be wrong. but makes sense, as storage is expensive.

Most orgs have no idea how many long-lived tokens are sitting in CI pipelines or .env files. Help surface them before someone else does.

very rough around the edges as most functionality from the RasPi build have been disabled; most views are missing, and some stuff might not trigger/work as expected.

Even worse, it leads to deskilling. Cutting out that process makes people dumb to the solution. There is not even an abstract idea of how it works anymore, just a prompt that was given, ... Which might not even match expectation.

Got the minimal skin working across two screens with AHK. Wish Mixxx had a way to do this, like a bordeless option... or even two windows. This works for now with some gotchas (it can NOT claim the full workarea as the 'taskbar' is still claimed in size, though not visible).

I noticed that, while you Move a game to another disk, like "Forza Horizon 5, it still uses "WindowsApps" on the C-drive to keep things in sync. This is annoying, especially if this is a smaller SSD meant to make the machine portalble. I am always out of disk space, because it auto-updates ... and uses my main disk instead.

Simplified it a bit... now only need to handle state, so Meister understands what is happening. (playing or not)
I also learned loopMIDI on Windows is very unreliable! tomorrow this will hopefully be resolved with a CME H4MIDI.
Interesting take on Rust, to compare it to Esperanto and the Sinclair C5
