    Is it the most user friendly way to have own OSM map with vector tiles?

    In this case you mean Wikipedia editors will start making their content more attractive to advertisers?

    They also oppose having ads on Wikipedia. Personally I don't see much difference between banners asking for donations and ads. I understand there are "bad" ads (privacy violating o…

    Would be nice to be able to download pdf/mobi. Also it seems to be work very much in progress. Just clicked random page: https://eth2.incessant.ink/book/05__proof-of-stake/03__fork…

    Your personal blog? I think GDPR usually is applicable only for businesses. For example you don't need to adhere to GDPR when saving new contact on your phone. Maybe personal websi…

    Problem with music/video piracy was mostly resolved by providing reasonably priced usable services. Maybe instead of lobbying for quick takedowns, someone should put effort into pr…

    A lot of people had started investing because they don't know what to do with the money. When you stop spending money on restaurants or vacation or other stuff which is no longer a…

    I've had unintentional usage for few hundreds dollars. After explaining the situation and setting API limits the bill was cancelled. Your situation seems a bit different. But maybe…

    Maybe you used (i.e. were assigned) "bad" IP? For my account using shared VPN triggered suspension (but in my case, I am allowed to get verified by providing my phone number (but a…

    As I understand, for example in Europe Pfizer is producing vaccines in single factory and not in sufficient number. Why production doesn't happen in more places? Couldn't they sell…

    I think one of the reasons for user tracking is fraud detection. The moment you get rid off it, nobody would be willing to "risk" advertising on smaller, unknown websites. So maybe…

    If they really needed money, they would put some ads. They claim Wikipedia must be independent and that's why there are banner free. But for me it does not make sense, I am sure yo…

    Try building solid online identity. If you become recognizable and get some followers then in case of problems you could complain on social media. If your complaint gets enough upv…

    I am not sure what exactly do you mean is not true. But in fact the article you linked says about pre-gdpr cookie consent. So it kind of contradicts what I said. But in practice to…

    But the regulator guide is about GDPR. And it's consistent with what I wrote - GDPR law does not require consent for such cookies. So the regulator is ok with no consent. Apart fro…

    You might be kind of wrong. I think you don't need consent. But the cookie law still requires notification banner (which is basically the same thing). That's because cookie usage b…

    You don't really need own email server to solve such problem. If only you had own domain, you could have moved it to different provider and still have access to the services which …

    Isn't it other way around? Authentication is about confirming one's identity and that's what oAuth is used for. Authorization is about giving proper permissions and that's what hap…

    It would be nice to see how it compares to other products. Lately I've been noticing quite a few GA alternatives, would be nice to know which one is really worth looking into.

    The whole point of this thread is about doing something personally fulfilling. I think throwing money at some cause is not the way to get there.
