Just like the (now flagged) post from 20 minutes before, this is more LLM generated waste of space.

This blog isn’t worth anybody’s time.

No, the rest of the post was written by an LLM.

If version 8.0 makes you raise your eyebrows, just wait til you see what version Firefox and Chrome are on!

Yeah, just casually murdering journalists is totally normal.

Your username and comment history suggests it might not be wise to take your word as objective truth.

I don’t get it. You’re suggesting that the article is untruthful?

Just because someone has perceived that doing X leads to Y doesn’t mean there’s causation. Easy and common mistake to make though.

Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you of anything. My comment was aimed at other readers; further discussion between us won’t be necessary. Good day! :)

I didn’t refute a link between environmental factors and ear wax production. Nor did I say improving diet isn’t a good thing in general.

But changing your diet won’t help with ear wax. And cotton swabs are a bad idea.

You seem upset; this is just a discussion on an internet forum. It’s ok for people to have different opinions and share them in a thread :)

You’re free to share your anecdata.

But you also shouldn’t be surprised if someone challenges the implications or merits of your anecdata, for the benefit of others that might take it as good advice.

There’s no real evidence linking specific foods with ear wax production.

Also, for anyone getting reading this, cotton swabs in your ears is a bad idea and usually makes the problem worse (pushes wax in and compacts it).

You can afford five days of food, so that must mean you can also afford a Claude Max plan? What kind of logic is this?

You’ve missed the point. This is a cultural commitment not a logistics problem to engineer away.

The person you replied to did kindly try to explain to you, but you seem to have ignored it.

If you don’t understand the culture of Burning Man, that’s fine. But maybe don’t callously reduce 150 peoples’ labor of love to “btw just use this machine”.

FYI it was actually William Woodruff (the article author) and his team at Trail of Bits that worked with PyPI to implement Trusted Publishing.

> They are just passionate and most of the times annoyed because something as simple is not being done right.

No, this is not adequate justification for such behavior towards volunteer FOSS maintainers.

I will never understand people like GitHub user “shushtain” in the linked issue.

So obviously the guy is behaving like an entitled jerk, but it’s also surely counter-productive (volunteer maintainers are unlikely to respond well to plain rudeness)? Unless the goal isn’t a productive outcome, but just to be mean?

You’ve missed the point: being deceptive is not ok, regardless of whether “the status quo is worse”.

You’ve now linked to your own thing three times in three comments in three minutes.

That’s too much.

Is there a reason you’ve copy pasted the first paragraph from the link? It doesn’t add anything to the discussion, and also doesn’t help as a tl;dr because it’s literally the first paragraph. Genuine question!

Another Berkeley Mono user here!

I came from Fira Code to JetBrains Mono to MonoLisa (several years each) then finally settled on Berkeley Mono and refuse to use anything else!

I dunno, it seems mostly simple to me.

You have a .sops.yaml with some Age public keys, and then you run “sops secrets.yml” to create an encrypted file.
