I get you. I used to buy Nexus devices as well as some of the first Pixels, until at some point the prices shot up to ridiculous levels for a phone and I went with other brands. La…

Same. I've been working with and managing thousands of WP sites for over a decade and the only issues I've had have been with sites acquired from 3rd parties with random themes and…

Can't you do that editing with EmDash..?

> Or you could pass an EU Constitution that enshrines basic rights including privacy That, and (somehow) enforce the basic principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, which the…

> Sensationalist framing aside, how does any government become a body that decides anything? Powerful people get together and decide that they know what's best for people. Then the…

What you're describing is how the process in the EU works. So in essence it is "the EU". It doesn't seem to have any limits or restrictions on what it can do as an institution. It …

Problem is that once you've gotten this thing through to begin with it's comparatively easy to make slight amendments later, also of course with the justification of "protecting th…

Yeah this is the gist of it. Cloudflare provides an important service that is quite challenging to implement by yourself.

It doesn't change anything with their higher tier sales. Those are bought for a reason that a lower tier device cannot satisfy. My worry (from Apple's POV) is that all the people w…

Hey, I've been looking for a tool that can do reverse NS lookup for a nameserver pairs (ie. which domains have nameservers ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com) but all the services…

Yeah seems rather inefficient to power two computers but only use one.

Indeed. I'm using a $150 Moto since three years back when the charger port broke on my previous phone. I can't imagine what people "need" high-performance phones for, other than ga…

That's worrying indeed.

Which merged with MobilePay. Side note: I stopped using it (in Finland) in the beginning of the year when they launched their new app that exposed users full names (including middl…

What the fuck do you have against people "ruining their lives"? I've made a ton of bad decisions in the course of my life. And I'm all richer for it. Don't take that away from me. …
