Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Just tried it and it works at least with the llama-cpp-python server, but I suppose some other servers and very likely hosted services (SNI, certificate subjects, ...) would have problems with that.
I'm struggling to find some examples of contemporary electronic music around that genre, but I'd recommend listening to some of the tracks from This Never Happened [0] label. Lane 8, Le Youth, Massane, Jerro and a lot more have pretty nice and energetic tracks, some without vocals.
I've been tinkering with decentralized communication protocols lately and made me think about the XMPP ecosystem (also about ActivityPub integrations with it), so I've started these two projects:
Really, you are getting something of great value for free in return for your e-mail, and feel obligated to try and contort and "screw" them? This is the exact sort of mentality that frustrates me as an entrepreneur. If you don't like the terms, then simply hit back. You're not entitled to anything. end of rant
I’m an enterprise architect in a place which operates more than 500 different IT systems. I’m on the receiving end of the kind of things this signup will lead to, a lot, really you have no idea how many times I’m contacted.
It’s completely anecdotal but contacting me the way nginx and parters will after I’ve received the free ebook will only do them harm. My department has never taken anyone up on the offerings, and if they don’t include a working unsubscribe link, then you end up blocked companywide.
The free ebook is a lot of good will though, and I’ll remember where it came from. So if it’s good it was a much better investment than whatever usage they’ll get from my email.
His email is available on his profile, so he essentially already shared it for free...
I agree that it's not exactly free because it has a value, just like your comment right now has one. However it doesn't represent a monetary loss from you (just like your comment right now), which I believe is what he meant by free.
If you believe your personnal email and phone number has a value higher than this ebook, than yeah, don't exchange them, that would be absurd.
Well he put his email in a not so easily readable format in there, so someone has to take effort and invest time to generate a correct email address from it. With this time investment getting to the email address costs money. So not for free ;)
But of course now we are definitely nitpicking on a philosophical level.
My point basically if someone says something is free, but requests your personal data in return, then that is not free.
> Really, you are getting something of great value for free in return for your e-mail
No, I am not getting it as “free”. That’s misleading at best and I personally think it’s disingenuous. We need to call out the cost of personally identifiable information.
Instead of getting frustrated, say you’re giving the information (book in this case) for the cost of being able to hold your personally identifiable email address for X period of time for Y purpose.
It’s not “free”, let your audience know and advertise it so.
Yet another JavaScript heavy and so flakey form to implement a basic task. So tried to provide details but it did not work. So I am grateful for the link.
You have an issue with people taking companies at their word and providing ways to get things for free just as they claimed it would be?
As I said in the other comment, everyone can value their contact information themselves, but I guess that most people value them >0. And >0 is not free, otherwise the company would not have any reason to get them.
