Wow, that looks really cool actually. Still a lot of work to turn it into a usable phone but what an amazing foundation.

Honestly, I have had very few issues with it. Generally for the big issues there compatibly layer packages available, e.g. you can install a musl-fts package since musl doesn't implement fts. I think there is value in a cleaner, newer

It bothers me as well. I love the focus Alpine has on minimalism and security, it's been my main desktop distro for years. It's easily the best distro I've ever used.

It's convenient and fail2ban/crowdsec is generally a sufficient safeguard. Bruteforcing isn't realistic so you just have to keep an eye on vulns. Key auth is obviously better, but password auth is not as bad as many people li

No, buddy, they're not. If two products have the same name but different ingredients, they are categorically not the same product. You chose a bad analogy, that's all.

Except your analogy breaks as they are not the same product.

EU is always slow. They felt browser choice was an issue 0 years after it stopped being one, and then freaked out about cookies also 10 more more years later when it wasn't really an issue. Data tracking is an issue, sure. Not cookies

Mexican Coke is different though. It doesn't use HFCS.

It wasn't particularly entertaining and was well overdone.

It's at least a third watching one of Kyle MacLachlan's characters walking around with brain damage. I liked the season after a rewatch but the Dougie stuff is still tedious.

Sure, mostly non EU or non big business sites. The non EU sites are due to the EU trying to claim global jurisdiction. The EU are very much to blame for the popups, because even the non dark-patterns one are annoying.

I don't believe what you quoted supports your point. > It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent. It is. You click the reject button.

by ruthmarx 2y ago
I would say the most I see have accept, reject and manage preferences as buttons, normally with manage preferences being a link rather than a button. The dark pattern you describe isn't on any big business websites for example. Out of

That's not true at all. Most cookie popups are compliant with GDPR - they're still annoying.

Sharing AI output is pretty much the same thing as copying and pasting search results.

If anyone needs to get a grip it's you. There's no issue here. I'm dismissive of your speculation and that's reasonable since there's nothing to support it. Nothing more to say.

That's not true at all. It's intuitive to understand, less ambiguous and far more common than the incorrect usage than you prefer. If you disagree, I would ask you to provide a source to support your assertion.

> I have libertarian leanings and so would prefer a truly free market, because I would like to believe it would lead to affordable levels of health care for everyone. Without regulation it just leads to predation.
