What does eggcorn mean?

The app will likely have access to a bunch of unique identifiers on the phone. At least on Android whichs core concept is spying on the user. For me, it's enough that your activity…

Governments will track with whom you verify. Much worse.

Honestly, I always assumed that consensus was that replication is the hardest part. I believe we have almost none of the technologies required for that. Whenever I read of von Neum…

You don't seem to use scissors.

Apparently, West... Edit: before 1989.

Faring better than some other country doesn't mean its good. Try calling up rt.com via a German phone network. And calling our chancellor a liar will get your house searched.

I was referring to"hey you probably shouldn’t blow your hand off”. I am not against regulations per se, I am German after all. But a sane discussion should be had how far this shou…

But that is the maxim which drives almost everything we do on a daily basis.

But this is none of your business. I live in Germany, where everything is regulated by well meaning people. Going so far to regulate what you ought to say or to watch. It is hellis…

But there are things like consistency which one can check for. And should.

I loathe two things in password requirements: special characters and not allowing spaces. C'mon, it's 2026. Require 20 characters and call it a day.

I use 9.9.9.9 but it failed me a couple of times in the past two months. Cloudflare is very robust but I just don't like them. Falling back on them silently is not what I want. I a…

I tend to disagree. 1984 seems the playbook for the majority of politicians. For them, it's inspirational.

The problem in a large codebase is keeping consistency when upgrading. I upgraded a codebase of approx 100 kloc from Java 7 to Java 8 a couple of years ago. As I didn't want mixed …

It presumably runs in a gazillion scripts.

That's an illusion. Two days of location data and you can pin down the owner pretty well. I thought about getting a SIM when Germany was about to introduce ID requirements. I quick…

Where in Europe should that be? I live in Germany and for example Stuttgart has a shortage of nurses because they can't afford living in a 1 hour commuting range (one way).

Same experience with Australia. Japan is very painless, as well. Friendly, helpful staff on both.

How can the third party not know I visited pronhub when pronhub verifies a token with the third party handed to me by the third party? This may protect my privacy towards pronhub i…

So, the trusted third party gets to know which sites you visit?

I just don't allow outbound connections for our HP printer.

Which options are faster?

Does Thunderbird have rules? I searched for this and didn't find them.
