How do you avoid interaction if it’s being done automatically by your machine when you open up a print dialog, and if malicious servers can use the same names as legit printers?

Isn’t it fourth?

Mozilla has already shipped strict privacy mode by default in recent versions of Firefox so they’re already a leg up on this.

Google is currently trying to transition people to its own proprietary method of tracking (where the browser itself tracks you) so they would love it if third party cookies were no longer usable for that.

Mozilla has also added a direct tracking feature (anonimized) to Firefox btw. Not sure what their agenda is.

Websites are irrelevant, if third party cookies stop working in major browsers there’s no point in setting them anymore, they’ll be ignored.

I doubt they intend to mine it. For the Russian state is easier to acquire Bitcoin by hacking wallets than mining, and the plebs can’t afford the electricity.

Trading is trading and they’d be risking sanctions whether they take payment with Swift or Bitcoin.

7 was actually surprisingly well optimized. It ran OK on an office PC with 512 MB of RAM and a 512 MHz CPU.

You wouldn’t use it like that because by that time apps like browsers and office were starting to feel restricted by that little RAM to the point you could only run either or. But the OS itself stayed out of the way as much as possible, and if you gave it just a little more RAM (like 1 GB) suddenly you had a usable office machine.

But you only have two kidneys, how will you buy a third Mac?

Macs are outrageously priced for the hardware you get.

Non-Apple laptops can be just as reliable and last just as long nowadays, and you get to upgrade them at a fraction of the cost. Actually I should say you get to upgrade them, period.

One day Proton will retire their bridge and there will be a lot of Pikachu faces.

Unfortunately all the volume-based email providers I know (Purely, MXroute, Migadu) are one or two-person operations. Doesn’t stop them from being excellent, of course.

I wish the volume-based pricing model was more popular but unfortunately very few people know about it, and is course the large providers prefer to charge by account or add all kinds of artificial limitations because they make much more money that way. Having multiple mailboxes for the same domain costs the provider nothing and yet you get charged per mailbox.

Use a volume-based email provider like MXroute, where you pay strictly for the resources you consume (storage space and mails sent) not made-up limitations like number of accounts, aliases, domains etc. that cost the provider nothing.

I liked the puzzle battle style of games like Disgaea 2.

Not a big fan of the classic “let’s all stand face to face and take turns bashing each other” approach.

…I thought that was the whole point of Spez blocking other spiders.

Depends on who wins the election. Trump would come out with anti-union legislation so the large studios might decide to hold out for that.

It’s not a big deal… for now, because most of the time when I limit DDG results I ask for 1 year back (for solutions that are sort of recent but not ancient).

I would never limit results to just the last week, and typically posts that are that fresh won’t have enough accumulated knowledge so even if they pop up on the results they’re not really useful.

Again, that’s just my experience. I’m curious if others have similar ones.

Oof. I guess you can use typescript to make up for lack of IDE but it sounds like you had bigger problems anyway.

You know, you can validate data structures at runtime… and write unit tests… TS is not a substitute for those things.

Typescript only prevents typing bugs… why did they have so many typing bugs?

Who were they talking to.

I blame whoever had their chat open at 1am.

That’s besides the point, they can probably use any number of alternatives. The problem is the act itself, being suddenly booted off a platform is very disruptive and it takes time to regroup. Also, who’s to say that Meta won’t do that to them as well.

If you were 100% specific you would be effectively writing the code yourself. But you don’t want that, so you’re not 100% specific, so it makes up the difference. The result will include an unspecified percentage of code that does not fit what you wanted.

It’s like code Yahtzee, you keep re-rolling this dice and that dice but never quite manage to get the exact combination you need.

There’s an old saying about computers, they don’t do what you want them to do, they do what you tell them to do. They can’t do what you don’t tell them to do.
