  1. Your toy truck is being overly pedantic
  2. Different rule set
  3. A hide elements feature has been part of 1blocker for years now, definitely possible
  4. As someone currently on 1Blocker (and decently happy with it, esp. the 'vpn' hack to block in app content too); what made you switch and how does it improve over 1BLocker?
  5. Because privacy is a basic human right. Europe still has some of those.
  6. It’s allowed over RTC
  7. they improved over the butterfly keyboards of that era but the M1 and beyond keyboard are still significantly worse than before 2016. I recently used an older MacBook pro and the difference was quite staggering.
  8. You do associate those traits with birds in the raven family.

    I figure the usual association with birds or perhaps animals in general is still mostly based on ‘humans smart; animals dumb’ instead of actual research.

  9. Impressive, it took me 113K bunnies for a single frame drop on an iPhone 14pro
  10. The “Roman salute” you’re referring to never existed in history up until the 19th century when popular media introduced it. It’s fiction, it resonated with Italian facist which is why they started using it.
  11. The “Roman salute” you’re referring to never existed in history up until the 19th century when art and later film took creative liberties.

    It’s fictional symbolism that resonated with Italian fascists and eventually became the greeting associated with nazism.

  12. Security works best in layers
  13. Not only that; both a dot (“.”) and a forward slash (“/”) are allowed to be used in/as a JSON property name.

    An array of keys alleviates this issue entirely because any string element of the array can be used as a JSON object property name too.

  14. A less vicious but similarly dumb ‘ux/security’ measure is when the password being entered only registers after a key event fires while the field is in focus. An event that never occurs with password manager autocomplete, making the user add a random character and then remove it.
  15. Van Gogh is modern art
  16. Funny that you say that because to a European the US worker and consumer rights seem very archaic. There just might be more to life than tech innovation and startups.
  17. Epic also gave AltStore a bag of money and as a result the Apple mob fee to install AltStore (€1,50/year + VAT) has been covered by AltStore themselves. Amazing how Epics pettiness now subsidises the pettiness of Apple.

  18. iOS and macOS too, found in accessibility settings.
  19. We throw everything out (to thrift stores if possible) after a year of no use. Has bitten us almost never and when it has it’s usually something useless to someone else too (cheap to replace).
  20. Look up the Dutch tax return scandal where the Dutch tax arm of the government (‘IRS’) used machine learning to identify fraud but it turned out to be very racially biased and it uprooted thousands of families with years of financial struggles and legal battles.

  21. > and I absolutely hate that there is no separation of concerns

    There is a separation of concerns when using react but it’s not split by technology but by responsibility. A react components is an isolated piece of the puzzle which’s concerns are separated from the other puzzle pieces.

  22. That number has to be so big I’d be absolutely confident to never exceed it before ever considering it.

    Nobody has time to manage/backup multiple keys with the fun game of ‘what account is stored on which key’.

  23. In 2001 the EU switched (mostly) from a local currency to the euro. For years people would calculate prices back to the currency of old. If you do it nowadays, over 2 decades later, people look at you funny.

    People who still rant about the simplicity of jQuery are of the same cloth.

  24. You’re right on the money but it already works in chromium browsers and windows but none of the others you mentioned.
  25. I know from experience that raising the speed will immediately raise the speed speedsters are willing to go. When the highway in my country went from 100 to 130km/h, people who drove 120 then started to drive 150.
  26. I understand that hotwire is already an established term but it has hacky connotations and hyper(textlanguage)wire sounds infinitely cooler.
  27. To add to this; in the Netherlands where I’m from there’s more bikes than people.

    Out of all the people I know the only person that does not ride a bike is my middle age father who owns a motorcycle. Even my nearly 90 year old grandma uses a tricycle (for safety) to do her grocery shopping.

  28. Important details are that this impacted local on-device photos only, and a device reset would make the photos inaccessible for future use because a reset creates new storage encryption keys.
  29. Css scoping has been fixed for ages already by css modules, styled components, or/and (native) support for nested css declarations. If those all fail there’s namespace conventions like BEM.

    If your css is a mess in 2024 (2016 really) it is all on the developer and not the language.
