Kissaki, to technology in The Incognito Mode Myth Has Fully Unraveled

Google should have to clearly communicate to users what they did. Only few will even read and know about this. Rarely anybody will care.

Misbehavior on such a scale should at least be communicated so users can make an informed decision on their continued trust.

Kissaki, to technology in New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now

Given that their mediation is binding to discord too, depending on the mediator, it can be a good thing for customers too.

Kissaki, to technology in New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now

Opting out may be the safe way. But I have to wonder if that clause would be binding. ToS can’t overrule law.

Kissaki, to random in From Pizzagate to the 2020 Election: Forcing Liars to Pay or Apologize

“The cost of bringing a defamation suit to trial can be enormous, often exceeding a quarter-million dollars’ worth of expenses, to say nothing of the value of attorney time,” […]

Mr. Gottlieb and his team refer to their cases as a “hobby” in service to […]

Insane.

Given the spread and damage of misinformation, maybe it’s time for state prosecution to not only pursue physical danger criminals, but also system society relevant destabliators.

Kissaki, to privacy in Thoughts on Guard.io as a service for lesser tech savvy family members?

I wouldn’t use it.

Seems to me like free plan is what browsers natively support anyway. (Scam site blacklist. I highly suspect they use the same. They can’t compete with the one Google hosts and all major browsers integrate.)

And instead of paying 15 usd per month, Windows defender is a well funded, well established, well trusted solution.

There’s no practical gain in blockage before download. Windows defender scans upon and after download, before execution.

Kissaki, to nostupidquestions in Why does this website have a loading screen to process my cookie preferences?

Usually, your consent is a simple yes/no flag, no and saving that in a cookie is enough.

I have seen this “processing” before. My assumption was that it sets cookies on third parties websites instead of only the one you visit. The basis for that assumption being that some ad network and tracker websites have/offer “opt out cookies”.

I haven’t checked whether that’s actually the case.

There is no other reasonably valid explanation for it. Setting a few cookies doesn’t take that much time. It would then be either intentionally slow and lying to you, or has horrendous unacceptable implementation (which could be seen as unlikely given how obviously customer facing it is).

You can’t continue the setup process without connecting to a wifi network. There is no alternative in the UI.

Kissaki, to foss in Tic Tac Toes v1.0.1 released: The classic game but harder

It is.

Blazor is a big framework. It gives you a lot, but as a framework, also introduces stack complexity.

Being able to code on one C# codebase for a web application client and server is great. It’s very fast. You can use modern C# syntax. You have component (CSS) isolation. You can switch and mix between runtime targets (server dom rendering and sending diff-updates or client-side app execution).

At work, we’re using it for a webportal/webapp and I have not fundamentally regretted us using it. It’s definitely not worse than anything else. For a productive development and product there’s a little bit of framework knowledge you have to learn, but that’s not different than any other framework. And docs are very good.

I love how fast it feels to use the end product too.

Kissaki, to technology in What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane

Banelings are created from zerglings following a brief chrysalis phase. In the new form, the zergling’s claws shrivel and become withered, and a swollen sac filled with volatile chemicals grows out of its back. The zergling’s skin is repurposed, stretching over newly formed growths while its bone plates soften to hold bulbous, pulsating acid sacs in place. Though the remains of the carapace offer no real protection, they allow for unhindered delivery of the baneling’s payload. The digestive and reproductory tracts are assimilated as nutrients to accelerate the process, and make room for the fleshy, mutated adrenal glands. These are re-purposed to produce and store large quantities of highly corrosive acid. Few materials can withstand this acid burst.

When a baneling gets close enough to an enemy, it triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload, causing the creature to explode with a shower of searing acid. The explosion destroys the baneling but also inflicts terrible damage to its enemies, highly effective against both structures and ground forces.

Kissaki, to technology in The slow death of Twitter is measured in disasters like the Baltimore bridge collapse

I think we saw how that goes in a Rick and Morty episode - Lawnmower Dog.

a worked - apparently doesn’t even need to be a valid/web email address

Before using any potentially valid domain name I try to use example.com, which is guaranteed to not be in use or claimable.

This laptop has no way to disable wifi. I at least did not find anything - no such function key. And the Windows setup required you to connect to a wiki, with no way to proceed otherwise. Like, wtf?

Kissaki, to asklemmy in What song do you put on when you need to 'get shit done'?

Do you need the song to tell you to get shit done? Isn’t listening to that just putting it back further?

Usually I open soundcloud.com and have music from there running in the background. No specific songs I regularly or specifically for this I come back to. I do have my likes, shares, and follows though, if the feed is unfitting.

Kissaki, to privacy in Firefox failing several privacy tests out-of-the-box, according to Brave article

Firefox having an empty check box on Blocks cross-site trackers is a lie.

Docs Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop

Ignoring isolation is misleading - in this marketing context a plain lie.

They could have made a differentiation between all-blocked vs some-blocked, but empty indicates none are blocked, which is a lie.

Kissaki, to piracy in Looking for German learning resources.

I was curious about what the other languages are, and they are German, Spanish, and Japanese.
