Honestly interested why this was downvoted, which yes makes for boring reading but I hope it results in some interesting argument. If you need a cookie banner it means you are coll…

That is nice. That is why I don't use 'I don't care about cookies'. I do care, I want to press reject, if for nothing else than to send a signal.

"Block nags to accept cookies and privacy invasive tracking" Took me a couple of tries to parse the senetence. Is this blocking or accepting privacy invasive tracking? Guess the fo…

I guess the allure of physical events is twofold, to feel a connection with other fans and to feel a connection with the players. I wonder if this diminishes the latter. Maybe put …

Not my favorite language but I like how C# is C++++ (even though in musical terms C# would be inbetween C and C++).

I thought this was specifically not part of Wayland, am I wrong?

The record can technically be correct but not in "pursuit of a legitimate interest". In that case the negative record can be "corrected". So, in my case. When I was a teenager I op…

I got my bad debt scrubbed this way. This was in the Netherlands. It is not always possible, some sources here (in Dutch): https://www.vldwadvocaten.nl/blog/bkr-en-avg-bezwaar-en-v…

Just a heads up for people living in the EU, it is possible to have things like negative credit ratings removed on grounds of GPRD.

Are your sure this is the case? I see the word used in the original meaning all the time.

Brave gives me a strong negative gut reaction. I really doubt crypto goes well with ethics. Looking at some of Brave's past transgressions confirms it for me. Sure, you can turn it…

In a way it became the complete opposite of how it started. At first one OS for many users, ea with many processes. Now, with containers, micro services etc. we have an OS per serv…

I have used Magic Mushrooms on occasion. They provided me with very valuable insights that led to make meaningful changes and choices in live. Insights that have stops my panic att…

I made a QR code from this link. It really isn't anything crazy. Isn't that cool, we can host websites from QR codes!

I now come to understand that the technobable in Star Trek wasn't that well predicted, in the future we will not be reversing polarities by alligning field cores. Picard will have …

Starting from 1996 we had ChipKnip in the Netherlands. When it came out you could already pay with debitcards in most shops. The added benefit was that it was suited for small purc…

If you are on Android I can recommend Orgzly. It ties in with Emacs' org-mode but is fully usable on its own with a sensible very convinient UI. It is open source and everything is…

Still doesn't explain the sound of one hand clapping.

This is the problem I have with long form articles. They are promoted as a counter reaction to short shallow articles without substance. Though most of these long form articles are…

If not the state, the free market will fill the gap and tell us what is for our own benefit, bet a lot more boundaries get crossed when the tobacco industry, pharmaceutical industr…

How susceptible to tolerance would the positive effect be? Would a long term smoker still have any benefit? Or is it like coffee, very quickly giving no benefit at all.

But your example are cases where you feel strong because you have this war story. How about the cases where you just made a mistake? That said, I never liked the 'sandwhich' method…

The most annoying to me is that the elapsed time element doesn't have a fixed size. It constantly changes size and pushes all other elements from left to right. It is very distract…

I had a book with these patterns once. The last few pages explained how you could make them yourself. Basically you make grid of lines with repeating patterns, like XXYYZZXXYYZZXXY…

I think that protests where one of the factors that stopped the war with Vietnam.
