If you missed this and have Windows 11, you probably should read it -
npm was a mistake.@0xabad1dea Now you got me thinking.
Some of the package managers I have seen do not make an effort to expose a number of details I would think are important like the licence and owner of the package.
Sure, Nuget DOES support multiple repositories, but the developer still has to actively seek out information package by package. It also seems to be commom to publish into the public Nuget Feed, rather than different groups getting their own feed.
NPM takes it further by not having any silos, which also means no control or prediction. Instead of adapting these in during the Pad Left incident, and encouraging a system where you know who provides your shit, NPM just said "You can't take things down anymore."
Maybe we do need a completely new dependency management system.

"It's part of an international trend to control the sort of content people can access, and create."https://www.thegamer.com/subscribe-star-adult-game-banned-visa-mastercard-collective-shout/#AdultGames #Pornography #Deplatforming #PaymentProcessors@Beurkeek Especially create. Notice how they are targeting games, which have a massive indie scene, and not movies and shows, which are far more controlled by major players

Oh fuckhttps://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2025/09/13/get-out-of-technology.html@nflatrea I am worried that giving it away for free will make it so I can't house myself but otherwise I endorse this.
We are support staff. It is not I who manufactures or assembles product. Not I who sells it, or buys the equipment.
I may make the jobs of those people easier. I may be key to allowing people to do them. But my contribution is only in the supporting role.

Children hacking their own schools for 'fun', watchdog warnsthat and being a privileged white person combined is how i went to college and got into this career, by accepting that offer instead of "jail"@0x00string my answer is:
- Fix faculty being poorly paid
- Anything not secure by design has no place holding the data of people who's consent does not matter and was not sought.

If chileren are old enough to figure it out, then they need to be educated in When, How (i.e. with permission) and What (start with their own).
We cannot expect children to have good judgement if we do not teach them.

Heads up, the game AUTOMATICALLY DELETE'S THE SAVE FILE. DO NOT ENTER THE LITTLE CAGE UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO DO.
