"I have a vague concern, so I'm now using a shittier toolchain. You shouldn't do it though." is a weird post format.

Yeah the really misleading part of the screenshots in this article is that it doesn't show the "resize cursor", which basically makes this a non issue.

Also, for anyone reading this who hates the general aesthetic, go into Accessibility and hit "reduce transparency". This has been a desirable setting for last few OSX versions.

> If the cloud service you’re using doesn’t support OIDC or any other ephemeral access keys, then you should store them encrypted. There’s numerous ways you can do this, from password managers to just using PGP/GPG directly. Just make sure you aren’t pasting them into your shell otherwise you’ll then have those keys in plain text in your .history file.

This doesn't really help though, for a supply chain attack, because you're still going to need to decrypt those keys for your code to read at some point, and the attacker has visibility on that, right?

Like the shell isn't the only thing the attacker has access to, they also have access to variables set in your code.

He's using it correctly, in its secondary sense of "belonging or appropriate to an earlier period, especially so as to seem conspicuously old-fashioned or outdated."

It's not a deal breaker for me, but it doesn't sound like a recipe for "winning the console generation".

no but the headline is "valve is about to win the console generation"

This. And when a service goes down it's a lot easier to explain to your client/boss that "half the internet is down" than "our boutique solution is broken so it's just us actually".

To me this kind of sounds like the other side of the same thing. Lunchpail scientists accumulate data within an area of research made interesting by a landmark work by a big name. Future big names make breakthroughs by drawing together a lot of the lunchpail work. etc etc

I found out recently that I've been paying for Prime Video since 2020. I think I did legitimately sign up for it. That's not my complaint.

But it's fairly scummy how it doesn't seem to send you any email, the payments have a very vague generic coding like "AMZ2318971239", and the actual subscription management is super buried. I only noticed it, after years of using Amazon a fair bit, when I went deep into my account panes looking for something else.

You're right, it could be the sensible most likely thing AND the far-fetched thing.
