Personally, I think this is the answer too - rather than mandating it across all platforms, they could have created a service which provides scanning so that there was an additiona…

All of what you said could be true and it'd *still* be wrong for Grok to be allowed to generate it. All Musk actually needed to say was "oh fuck, we'll fix that". Instead, he respo…

Yes. DoH requests go to /dns-query so you only need that path to proxy onto your DoH handler. Some DoH clients will also allow you to specify a custom path, so you can also obfusca…

They all default to ISO sizes for me. If I format the page size, Libreoffice does offer "Letter" and "Legal". GIMP shows them as "US Letter" and "US Legal" but again they're not th…

GDPR (including the UK GDPR) is extra-territorial by design. It applies _by design_ to anyone or anywhere processing the data of an EU or UK citizen. I suspect that you and I would…

dotorg being run by a private citizen who receives no payments does not exempt it from GDPR, because GDPR doesn't make that distinction. There _is_ an exemption for household proce…

Yep, that's exactly my view on it.

I can't say for sure that it directly led to jobs, but my website has been brought up in a positive light during the recruitment process more than a few times. Because I write abou…

Having an employment contract is more common over here, but that's not the same as what we'd call being a contractor. As a full-time employee of the company you're working for (i.e…

No, it's the result of that poster's mindset - there's absolutely no need to do any of that. In fact, that type of behavior is against the law in a lot of countries and will leave …

Easy answer: yes it'd be better. TFA says that it has a failure rate of 1:33,000. That's a "do not ship" rating for almost anything else. > immediately stopping you the only thing …

I didn't have the same luck. I gave it a photo from inside a house, you can see a person on the bed, and the white wall behind - that's it. Obviously I wasn't expecting an accurate…
