The problem I have most of all with the routing is that it seems to default to my location as either the From or To value (whichever is the one I haven't selected). Once that's been chosen it's not immediately clear how to ch

I think you underestimate the amount of effort people are willing to put in to being juvenile or perverse.

Also an owner of a non-electric Babboe. We looked at converting it to electric but very few companies would actually do it and the one that we finally got to give us a quote basically said it wasn't worth it. They would've had to

Is there a reason why the URL parameters are obfuscated? I think it would more user (and SEO) friendly to have at least the place names in the URL, e.g. brolly.sh/forecast/united-kingdom/yorkshire/york. Still, great proj

Agreed. I think the code examples in the article could do with showing before and after states of the branch or repo and maybe compare with standard git commands. Even then I don't think the abstraction to HTTP verbs is necessarily a u

I think OP has envisioned a situation half way between what we now have and what will soon be the actual reality and that his idea will just be quickly skipped over. I don't think website design will go away, but I do expect that peopl

I had this problem and it turned out to be an upstream issue with MicroG which was eventually patched. If you have an error message you can search for existing issues on /e/OS' gitlab/forum. Revolut stopped working for m

My browser auto-declines cookies so I also had the same thought. On reloading I can briefly see a pop-over with a lot of text in it before it disappears, so I guess that is the cookie game I initially missed.

And next to impossible to get rid of. I would much rather use Signal but convincing even privacy-conscious people to switch is an uphill battle.

Microsoft documentation is a nightmare, it doesn't surprise me there are vulnerabilities. I recently built an SSO login using Entra ID (which was thankfully single-tenant) and I basically had to keep randomly stabbing in the dark until

Agreed. Like in JS and Java, it would be a lot nicer if the language itself had the chainable methods.

I've tried VS Code and Haystack (based on VS Code) for writing PHP and I just couldn't stand it after having used PhpStorm. Basic things like copying variables, indenting, moving lines into if statements, multiple cursors etc. jus

Slightly similar bug in DuckDuckGo on Android, unmuting causes the video to buffer again but it then pauses itself and there's no way to unpause it.

Honestly, it's not a bad article. I'd not heard of OWASP Juice Shop and now I'm interested to check it out. The article also prompted me to look into how user input sanitising works in the framework I use. So all in all I&#x2

Paper is environmentally expensive to produce and recycle. If it's worse than plastic is surely debatable but it's definitely not significantly better. https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-sci

I didn't think having to create a PSN account was that bad to be honest. I'd have preferred them to back down about the NProtect GameGuard rootkit that comes with the game.

The one real downside is that learning to cook well at home spoils eating out - it sets your standards for what constitutes a good meal that much higher. If I'm spending €16 on a plate of pasta, it better be a lot better than I can mak

You are correct. I was adding what I considered extra privacy-relevant information in response to GPs statement about WordPress sharing data with other companies, but the fact that I'd not heard of Beeper before unintentionally influen
