Ok yeah it’s much easier to get my dad to tell me he’s on “v2.12.6.001-build7F2023n12-kb0A hotfix”
That’s a false dichotomy. Firefox version numbering was never like that. It used the scheme major_version.minor_version.patch_release like almost every piece of software except browsers still uses.
The advantage of this system is that the numbers are meaningful: they tell you how significant a release is, whereas with straight versioning the version number gives you no clue about what the “119 to 120 upgrade” contains. It might be simple bugfixes, it might add some new functionality or it might be a complete overhaul that breaks everything.
The reason why browsers switched to a straight versioning scheme was never to make it easier for users to identify which release they’re on. The reason was artificial version inflation (i.e. “my version is bigger than yours”), and to force users into an incessant upgrade treadmill. In the past users could for example hold back on a major release upgrade until all the kinks were worked out while still receiving maintenance for their older major release.
I had a service charge like that added in Rome once. It is most likely illegal, but Rome is a pretty lawless place as it is where everybody tries to scam you all the time, so I didn’t bother spending time arguing it and getting all worked up about a couple of euros during my holiday, just avoided the place thereafter. I know that’s probably what they’re counting on …
I just read about coperto here, and I don’t think that was it. I’m pretty sure it said “Servizio” on the bill, and it was a percentage on top of the price of what we ordered.
That would be illegal in the EU country where I live (Belgium). Here the rule is that the advertised price must always include any mandatory charges, like VAT and service charges, so that advertised price = price the consumer would have to pay.
Companies offering goods or services must indicate the price in writing in a legible, visible and unambiguous manner.
The price is the total price to be paid by the consumer, including VAT and all other taxes or services that the consumer is obliged to pay extra. These prices are stated at least in euros.
I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....
That depends entirely on your use case, and how “devices” is defined.
For example, I run a couple of docker containers which each have their own VPN connection for different purposes. All connections originate from the same IP and run on the same physical machine even, but if they would be counted as different “devices” that would eat up the 5 device limit rather quickly.
This reminds me of the time I went home with a lesbian couple after a party, and not realizing they were interested in sex with me, even after dropping hints like repeatedly telling me things like: “You know, we’ve both been with men before”, then while awkwardly watching a movie on their couch they started to undress eachother and make out, and one girl pulling me in to touch her body as the other girl moved to perform cunnilingus on her.
And all I could think was: oh wow I should probably give them some privacy now, I guess it’s time to go home.
They’re drawings in a very unrealistic artstyle, the argument that “they look underage” is pointless when under a realistic lens they barely look human.
And there you have the plausible deniability… “It’s ok because it’s just a drawing” “Maybe it’s an adult woman who just looks petite” “Sure she looks 12 but in the anime she is ackshually 2000 years old”.
Also, in some animes the girls are canonically underage.
a serious crime like pedophilia
Pedophilia itself is not a crime. It’s a paraphilia, aka a mental disorder. The crime is when you act on it with actual children.
So sexualized drawings of 12 year old girls are not a crime in most jurisdictions, but they’re still pedophilia and problematic.
A politician taking responsibility for failure? Rare
Don’t give him too much credit. He’s a shitbag who was already under fire for previous scandals, for which he should have resigned. This just gave him the perfect opportunity for an “honorable” exit less than a year before the next elections, while at the same time covering the prime minister who is from the same political party.
As a European, at first I thought this showed house prices, and not yearly salary required to buy a house and thought: “well, that’s not too bad …”, but oof!
I haven’t seen it yet either, not on firefox nor on chrome. From what I hear it’s being rolled out gradually, so if you didn’t get a notice yet, it doesn’t mean that you won’t get one in the future.
