Honestly interested why this was downvoted, which yes makes for boring reading but I hope it results in some interesting argument. If you need a cookie banner it means you are collecting users' personal information. For many websites t

That is nice. That is why I don't use 'I don't care about cookies'. I do care, I want to press reject, if for nothing else than to send a signal.

"Block nags to accept cookies and privacy invasive tracking" Took me a couple of tries to parse the senetence. Is this blocking or accepting privacy invasive tracking? Guess the former but kept reading it as the latter.

I guess the allure of physical events is twofold, to feel a connection with other fans and to feel a connection with the players. I wonder if this diminishes the latter. Maybe put the players somewhere else entirely and stream it in the for

Not my favorite language but I like how C# is C++++ (even though in musical terms C# would be inbetween C and C++).

The record can technically be correct but not in "pursuit of a legitimate interest". In that case the negative record can be "corrected". So, in my case. When I was a teenager I opened a second bank account with credit c

I got my bad debt scrubbed this way. This was in the Netherlands. It is not always possible, some sources here (in Dutch): https://www.vldwadvocaten.nl/blog/bkr-en-avg-bezwaar-en-verz...

Just a heads up for people living in the EU, it is possible to have things like negative credit ratings removed on grounds of GPRD.

Are your sure this is the case? I see the word used in the original meaning all the time.

Brave gives me a strong negative gut reaction. I really doubt crypto goes well with ethics. Looking at some of Brave's past transgressions confirms it for me. Sure, you can turn it off, just like you can remove the pineapple from pizza

In a way it became the complete opposite of how it started. At first one OS for many users, ea with many processes. Now, with containers, micro services etc. we have an OS per service/process. Still the original abstractions work surpr

I have used Magic Mushrooms on occasion. They provided me with very valuable insights that led to make meaningful changes and choices in live. Insights that have stops my panic attacks, made me more appreciative and empathetic to others. I

I made a QR code from this link. It really isn't anything crazy. Isn't that cool, we can host websites from QR codes!

I now come to understand that the technobable in Star Trek wasn't that well predicted, in the future we will not be reversing polarities by alligning field cores. Picard will have us align our llamas with chiwawas to get an alpacafied

Starting from 1996 we had ChipKnip in the Netherlands. When it came out you could already pay with debitcards in most shops. The added benefit was that it was suited for small purchases and worked in places without a phoneline, like the bus

If you are on Android I can recommend Orgzly. It ties in with Emacs' org-mode but is fully usable on its own with a sensible very convinient UI. It is open source and everything is saved in plain text that can optionally be kept in syn

This is the problem I have with long form articles. They are promoted as a counter reaction to short shallow articles without substance. Though most of these long form articles are just as shallow. Starting a articles on physics by the desc

If not the state, the free market will fill the gap and tell us what is for our own benefit, bet a lot more boundaries get crossed when the tobacco industry, pharmaceutical industry etc. get free reign.

How susceptible to tolerance would the positive effect be? Would a long term smoker still have any benefit? Or is it like coffee, very quickly giving no benefit at all.

But your example are cases where you feel strong because you have this war story. How about the cases where you just made a mistake? That said, I never liked the 'sandwhich' method, saying; "Great effort. The result is horrib

The most annoying to me is that the elapsed time element doesn't have a fixed size. It constantly changes size and pushes all other elements from left to right. It is very distracting. I can thing of so many easy fixes for this yet it

I had a book with these patterns once. The last few pages explained how you could make them yourself. Basically you make grid of lines with repeating patterns, like XXYYZZXXYYZZXXYYZZ. Then at certain places you can either make the pattern

I wonder how this works, if I buy a laptop in the EU as a EU citizen and travel to for example the US, I still expect them to adhere to the rules where I bought it.

That is very interesting. I had a similar experience when I was I child. I had a toy electronics set and thought of using an outlet instead of the weak battery. Of course I got a nasty shock. I was sure I would die know. I wasn't reall

To be fair, when I visited New York for a couple of months, I traveled all over with their metro and haven't been robbed, assaulted or experienced anything too bad either. Except that on two occasions somebody shat in carriage, that&#x

The thing is, what if your parents aren't educated. Because of lots of reasons, my parents didn't even attend high school, they wouldn't have been able to tutor me after I was 10. I really think tutoring should be done in sch
