Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?
Hello c/datahoarder! I need your help. Not sure whether this has been asked before—I’ve tried searching the web, but the only advice I can find is how to download episodes for podcasts whose feeds are still active....
According to this you can copy stuff onto it. I assume you’ve tried to see if you can copy off? If not, then there is probably no way to extract the audio, short of recording it as it plays.
Well most of one anyway. I didn’t think it was a real one to begin with and just threw it in my trolley, but cleaning up in some rust remover and some vigorous brushing revealed “United States Property” and a serial number engraved on one side, and the letters G.H.D on the other which confirmed that it is the body of a...
Around here you’re supposed to call the police if you reel in any kind of firearm. Though I suppose they might spare the bomb squad if it’s just a frame… and accidents happen, maybe you forget to call it in…
I don’t open source because the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles.
When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users’ essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”
These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users’ sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social solidarity—that is, sharing and cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general.
Tens of millions of people around the world now use free software; the public schools of some regions of India and Spain now teach all students to use the free GNU/Linux operating system. Most of these users, however, have never heard of the ethical reasons for which we developed this system and built the free software community, because nowadays this system and community are more often spoken of as “open source,” attributing them to a different philosophy in which these freedoms are hardly mentioned.
Some of the supporters of open source considered the term a “marketing campaign for free software,” which would appeal to business executives by highlighting the software’s practical benefits, while not raising issues of right and wrong that they might not like to hear. Other supporters flatly rejected the free software movement’s ethical and social values. Whichever their views, when campaigning for open source, they neither cited nor advocated those values. The term “open source” quickly became associated with ideas and arguments based only on practical values, such as making or having powerful, reliable software. Most of the supporters of open source have come to it since then, and they make the same association. Most discussion of “open source” pays no attention to right and wrong, only to popularity and success; here’s a typical example. A minority of supporters of open source do nowadays say freedom is part of the issue, but they are not very visible among the many that don’t.
The two now describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. For the free software movement, free software is an ethical imperative, essential respect for the users’ freedom. By contrast, the philosophy of open source considers issues in terms of how to make software “better”—in a practical sense only. It says that nonfree software is an inferior solution to the practical problem at hand.
I was about to open an issue about the broken hungarian layout but it turns out it’s already fixed, f-droid is just slow to update. The izzyondroid version works great!
I'm getting rid of an old Hi8 camcorder and figured I'd throw in the tapes with it, but I want to wipe the contents of the tapes before I do. I don't have a huge magnet or anything I can use to quickly erase the tapes, so the only option is to record over them using the camcorder. Instead of being boring and just muting it and...

There’s stuff you can tweak of course if it don’t quite work for you. Worked fine on me tests.
If you notice a page missing, you should be able to just scroll back to it and then download again to get everything. The first script just keeps collecting pages till you refresh the site. Which also means you should refresh once you are done downloading, as it eats CPU for breakfast.
Oh and NEVER RUN ANY JAVASCRIPT CODE SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET TELLS YOU TO RUN
This kind of stuff is like an IRL puzzle game. I thought it would be a simple five minute adventure, but of course google has made sure it isn’t! I suppose for 3 stars I would have given it to you in a pdf format, but I fear the man who could do that in javascript.
With Chrome's new privacy concerns, I really want to stop using it. However I love the Chrome developer tools and overall experience better than Firefox. I just want to de-google it.
There are options! I've just started using @vivaldi_browser and so far I really like it!

The original seems to be from shutterstock, which also has an alternate angle available. The artist describes it as “Google Chrome homepage on computer screen”.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?
