This is the problem I had in mind when building https://chota.link. I have seen too many broken previews. This little app lets you create short link and specify metatags. Try this short link on LinkedIn: https://chota.link/jVZ2Hd. I tested it and seems to be working.


Any reason on the name? Chota is a despective way to say "Penis" in South America.


In Hindi, Chota means short. Apologies to South Americans.


Interesting, in (southern?) Brazil it refers to the female genital.


In Hindi, Chota means short...


I am familiar with notion but not sure what you mean...


A link shortener for Notion that able to custom meta description?


Sure, I'll look into it and update this! Thx.


What this has scammy popups when browsing on a phone?


Agreed. I got a popup about kitchen installation. What's happening with this app on mobile?



I think that site just popped me a scareware scam?


As a human of color, don't think I could live in this town but maybe team is really fun. Interesting to see a Camrose here! I've driven by numerous times. Feel free to ask any questions about Alberta.


> As a human of color, don't think I could live in this town

Are you saying it's a racist town, or yourself objecting to its current demographic?


Not OP, but I would imagine being one of the only minorities in a town like that is difficult if you just want a nonchalant life.


Thanks, that's what I meant.


I didn't mean it is a racist town. The population of the town is 18,742 and from years of living in Alberta, I don't think I'd find people with similar taste or interest in activities or topics I'm interested in.


1Password is slowly starting their enterprise game. All employees were offered 'free' 1Password accounts last week for entire family as long as I'm with my current company.


My company offered that for individual personal accounts in 2015, but perhaps the family plan thing is new.


It is explicitly listed on the 1Password site as a benefit of the Business level plan:

https://1password.com/teams/pricing/

"Free family accounts for all team members - $60 value per person"


I'm reading this as a negative comment - do you really feel negatively about this gesture/benefit?


> While the snake could be justified, the employee’s purchase of $1,200 worth of steak as snake food could not. Pythons only consume live prey.

How would AI solve / detect this anomaly? I am curious.


Most expense reports don't involve buying $1200 of groceries.


dead?


getting hugged pretty hard, working on increasing server firepower...


How do you interpret these licensing terms:

License Copyright (c) Mihir Chaturvedi. All rights reserved. Licensed under the MIT License.

If Mihir has all rights reserved, what's the purpose of adding MIT with it?


Open source license does not mean giving up intellectual property rights. You can only license the work if you own the rights to the work.

MIT License starts with copyright notice:

    Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>

    Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person
    obtaining a copy of this software and associated 
    documentation files (the "Software"), to deal ....


OTOH, you don't need to say "All rights reserved" to hold your rights:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved


It's standard to use both “All rights reserved” along with explicit permissions to be explicit that all rights under copyright not explicitly granted are reserved. It is, in intent, a disclaimer of additional implied permissions, though IIRC the “All rights reserved” in practice has no legal effect.


MIT is how the work can be used by others. This is basically saying "hey, I claim all the intellectual property rights granted to me by law. However, if you use this software strictly under these terms (MIT), I will not consider it to be infringing upon my rights."


Isnt't "All rights reserved" typical language, even with open source licenses?


No, it's generally "Copyright <name>" to explain where the license is coming from, but a copyright license is the exact opposite of "all rights reserved".


No, not really. The phrase itself has no legal significance any more, anyway, but even if it did, this would basically work like an ACL:

    Allow MIT terms
    Deny *  # all rights reserved (implied)
Am I using it under MIT terms? Allowed. Otherwise not.


That is not in fact true on either point. Some legal significance remained for a while, and it is not nor was like an ACL.

This made my eyes wet.
