I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine.

But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019.

Starting a comment with «yawn» immediately shows dismissal of and disrespect for the person you're replying to.

TIL. https://plugins.jenkins.io/blueocean/

   Blue Ocean status

   Blue Ocean will not receive further functionality updates. 
   Blue Ocean will continue to provide easy-to-use Pipeline visualization, but it will not be enhanced further. It will only receive selective updates for significant security issues or functional defects.

> Be specially careful when installing their extension pack, as it is an evaluation license.

Our company was targeted by Oracle Sales because they detected mere _downloads_ from our IP range. They couldn't prove any installations, but of course wanted the company to pay for commercial licenses.

Im not sure about the details, but in the end I think we bought a couple of licences & then blocked all URLs for the extension pack company-wide.

This works great for password resets.

It does not work if you actually want to send emails, for instance notifications.

That's a really nifty visualisation of the 140 named web colors.

I did not and can't downvote, no I have no stake in this.

That said, in my opinion people working in such a workplace reading a post "Why “go nuts, show nuts” doesn’t work in 2022" should be savvy enough to not click links, or read the post in the first place.

Also, ironically, the fact that we have to mark such links (to Wikipedia!) as NSFW is exactly what this particular comment chain is about, no?

Two days ago, I've tried to create an account tied only to an email. During account creation, the wizard suddenly inserted an additional step and required my to enter a phone number.

I realise though that this is possibly an anti-spam measure (which I'm in favour of), since I've connected through Tor when creating the account. But this procedure stands in stark contrast to the advise given in the article.
