I fully agree with you, and I think this trend of glorifying disabilities is cringe - ADHD, autism, etc. are life-altering medical conditions and not desirable. However, I don't think this specific project is intending to glorify ADHD

Technically yes, in practice the odds your local resolver is validating DNSSEC is slim (and if you're intentionally configured it to do so, switch to a provider that isn't Quad9).

It's a typo that carried over to the second code example of trying to read the file too? Is the sample code completely untested?

Perhaps partially? I assume that cutting the pages out of the spin makes them easier to scan at least partially. That said I have no insider knowledge of this type of operation so I don't know how much easier that actually makes it. Bu

While I agree with you in general, usernametaken29 made a specific prediction about OpenAI's IPO which is an event that will very likely happen in the next year or so. That said, OpenAI isn't public, so you can't directly sho

Let's be clear and not do this both sides thing - by "they" we mean Republicans. You may not agree with their policies or what they want to spend money on, but Democrats (at least in aggregate) live in the real world where th

Doesn't roblox use an anticheat that prevents the game client from running on linux? I thought nowadays the way to "run roblox on linux" involved using an android emulator.

Huh? Just to make sure I wasn't missing something, I checked and my GitHub account has only a TOTP app and hardware security key configured, no SMS/phone number. As a matter of fact GH even has a red "Less secure" badge

The article author attemps to make a distintion between "burners" and "aliases" but I don't believe one exists for this usecase. Let's say for the sake of argument that you think blocking burner emails provides

This analogy is bad: Nobody is going to die or get food poisoning because their old browser doesn't work on a website. A better analogy would be a restaurant deciding not to cater to the 1% of the US population that have celiac disease

I feel like root cause #2 should be titled "Our API is poorly designed". If you pass nothing into the API, it doesn't give you an error? Is this even a valid use case - why is it even possible to express this request, should

Why dodge the question? Clearly they care today, and I live in today. If we're doing to defer to industry, does only the opinion of website operators matter, or do browsers and CAs matter too? Browsers and CAs tend to be pretty importa
