GitHub policy proposal to ban projects used to create deepfakes
I'm sorry if the title might seem misleading, but I've based it on the actual PR [1], which says "GitHub does not allow any projects that are designed for, encourage, promote, support, or suggest in any way the use of synthetic or manipulated media for the creation of non-consensual intimate imagery or any content that would constitute misinformation or disinformation under this policy.". Notice the explicit "does not allow".

Show HN: My wife and I made a maze game
It is possible, yes. It just hampers much of what people expect modern websites to do (though it hinders abuse, as well, which is good!).
But even GitHub, who proudly declared they had removed all non-essential cookies https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/ added them back https://github.com/github/site-policy/pull/582/files and now if you click either "Manage cookies" or "Do not share my personal information" at the bottom of the page, you'll see they have the common "Required", "Analytics", "Social Media", "Advertising" categories.
(Bummed that they have the Advertising category.)

Company Wants Ownership of *All* Prior Inventions and Ideas
I worked for a company and they wanted to do something similar, I think they went with something boilerplate or from an attorney. I suggested a compromise and we use something similar to the [GitHub Balanced Employee Intellectual Property Agreement (BEIPA)](https://github.com/github/balanced-employee-ip-agreement/blo...).
I'm not sure if in your circumstance they would go for it, but it worked out for me. Here is the github blog post - https://github.blog/2017-03-21-work-life-balance-in-employee...

Stop using your work laptop or phone for personal stuff, because I know you are
I think this is reasonable advice, in some settings. But for many of us, I think it’s just not practical anymore.
The lines have become too blurred. I work from home, I have one office and one desk. The computer on the desk was purchased by my company but other stuff wasn’t like my mouse or my iPad. I have work Slack on my phone, which is my personal phone.
Granted, I work for a startup. This isn’t a company IT department managed laptop. It’s a MBP they had shipped directly from Apple to me.
The GitHub Balanced Employee IP Agreement acknowledges that this distinction is arbitrary and unhelpful:
> In California the main difference made by BEIPA is that IP developed with company equipment or relating to the company's business, but in an employee's free time and which the employee is not involved in as an employee, is not owned by the company (but the company does get a non-exclusive and unlimited license if the IP relates to the company's business). This recognizes that from the employee perspective, segregating one's life activities based on ownership of devices at hand or relatedness to an employer's potentially vast range of business that an individual employee is not involved with as an employee imposes significant cognitive overhead and often doesn't happen in practice, whatever agreements state.

I hope that more employee agreements move this direction so we can stop trying to enforce this distinction.

How do I navigate IP issues with a new employer?
I interviewed with Sysco Labs and they had some IP stuff in the contract that was absolutely bonkers. They accounted for everything, even if I died then I couldn’t pass on my IP to my kids, it would go to them instead. I asked them to remove it and replace it with BEIPA but they didn’t go for it. I asked if they would negotiate at all on any part of the contract. They said no. I walked away from that job even though I really wanted it. They showed me who they were as a company and I didn’t like what I saw.
