Wow, that looks really cool actually. Still a lot of work to turn it into a usable phone but what an amazing foundation.

Very true!

Honestly, I have had very few issues with it. Generally for the big issues there compatibly layer packages available, e.g. you can install a musl-fts package since musl doesn't imp…

It bothers me as well. I love the focus Alpine has on minimalism and security, it's been my main desktop distro for years. It's easily the best distro I've ever used.

It's convenient and fail2ban/crowdsec is generally a sufficient safeguard. Bruteforcing isn't realistic so you just have to keep an eye on vulns. Key auth is obviously better, but …

No, buddy, they're not. If two products have the same name but different ingredients, they are categorically not the same product. You chose a bad analogy, that's all.

Except your analogy breaks as they are not the same product.

Mexican Coke is different though. It doesn't use HFCS.

It wasn't particularly entertaining and was well overdone.

It's at least a third watching one of Kyle MacLachlan's characters walking around with brain damage. I liked the season after a rewatch but the Dougie stuff is still tedious.

Sure, mostly non EU or non big business sites. The non EU sites are due to the EU trying to claim global jurisdiction. The EU are very much to blame for the popups, because even th…

I don't believe what you quoted supports your point. > It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent. It is. You click the reject button.

I would say the most I see have accept, reject and manage preferences as buttons, normally with manage preferences being a link rather than a button. The dark pattern you describe …

That's not true at all. Most cookie popups are compliant with GDPR - they're still annoying.
