I'd find it tiresome real quick to always have to research before purchasing anything if the vendor will treat me with respect. Having a baseline of what you can expect from any business relation guaranteed by law is pretty great, re

Why would that be the case? Maybe you’re thinking of customised or commissioned items, which are an exception explicitly called out in the law and require a defect by the seller to return (so you can’t just return eg a painting made for you

You loose the right to change your mind and return the goods without any reason given, but of course you still have warranty of 6 months; if anything breaks with the product in that time, you can request the seller to make up by offering a

Exactly my point. In Germany I can order from the smallest of webshops without even reading their return policy, because I am guaranteed favourable terms by law.

by 9dev 3mo ago
Is that so? In Germany for example, you have a legal right to return anything you purchased via a remote means of communication - so e.g., the internet, or a phone call - free of charge, within two weeks, and it must be simple to do so; i

I don't know what that example is supposed to prove? Everyone in a business relation with one of these companies can make claims against them. The problem with Wirecard is rather that the 25k of each of them aren't going to make u

You're making it very easy for them here. Giving up on any kind of personal integrity or responsibility in exchange for a lot of money is not a complex dilemma. You don't need context to see it's wrong. It's a classi

The gall of one of the best-compensated people on the planet acting like they had no place else to go. Well, Mister Ivory Tower, I've got news for you: Having a conscience doesn't come for free. You'll be fine with a low

Can't we even write a short text like this without LLMs anymore, not even when it's really important, when it's about humans against the inhumane ?

Only for complex requests, and even then - a naive implementation of a web application that executes actions on GET requests might do the same for a HEAD request too.

> Who said anything about authentication? That's the thing. If you're logged in to good.com (with a session cookie), then go to evil.com and it has an AJAX call to good.com, it'll carry your cookie. Thus - authentication.

You can do whatever you want with your browser client. You just cannot create a website that will make the browser clients of other people send authenticated requests from JavaScript to my site if I don’t want that.

But it isn't the 90s anymore. Billions of people are using the internet, doing everything from voting to shopping to managing their stock portfolio. There are valid reasons why we have security protocols. And aside from that - it&#x2

Even if that was the case - which it isn't - the aggregator data isn't keyed by the user in question. That is highly illegal pretty much everywhere and would get you in a lot of trouble. You can't "just" find out wh

> Browsers enforce it, but it can be turned off and nobody expects it to be implemented by a simple REST client application. No, you're missing the point. Normal people using normal browsers with default settings have CORS enabled.

I'm pretty sure Pandora's box has already been opened. The youth spending hours on TikTok every day is not going to go back to early days of Facebook on their own.

I'm all in favour of the EU finally emancipating itself from American tech companies, but trying to recreate Social Media, just in a European way, is the worst possible way to go. We need less Social Media, not an inferior clone of T

well, and I dislike that people feel the need to desperately label themselves with some affliction. At some point you're just pretty close to the center of the bell curve.

I cycle every day, and sound is definitely important; you need to plan ahead when you hear an ambulance approaching, for example. Plus, your brain processes things you see much better if there's a sound it can correlate the movement

Noise cancellation headphones that will block out loud things or ambulances approaching you, sitting exposed on a motor strapped to two wheels at a high speed? Yes. That is different from driving in a Lexus.
