This is worrying since I have accidently opened dev tools hundreds of times by clicking both mouse buttons when my cursor is near the bottom of the screen. I have a tic disorder (not Tourette's, because my tics are all nonverbal). One of my tics is that I mash both mouse buttons over empty space pretty frequently. I even go out of my way to keep my cursor positioned over empty space so I can mash the mouse buttons wh…

Same, because sometimes I hit Ctrl-Shift-C* to copy something by mistake, which opens the Console. * The copy command for many terminal apps on linux

I had to use their silly drag-and-drop email builder because I'm handing the email off to be edited by a non-dev. I dropped in a "Code" module so I could add some custom CSS but because a style tag generates no space, that module is no longer accessible via the UI as there's nothing to click on. So I thought oh brother I'll just inject a couple br tags via the Inspector and then poof, I'm in the doghouse.

> I have a tic disorder (not Tourette's, because my tics are all nonverbal). That's still Tourette's. Tourette's is described as an involuntary movement /or/ sound.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The UK is subject to the UK GDPR, which has no material differences to the EU GDPR. There are probably some other differences, but the UK is much better than USA or Australia etc. (Although I'm surprised there aren't USA-based law firms which specialise in European privacy laws, because of their impact on tech companies)

yeah, but the people that work with the UK law firm probably go to the UK to have meetings just so they can update their out-of-office replies with "i'll be away for meetings in the UK for...blahblahblah" just so they look cooler than the schmucks that have meetings across town. so that's why they choose non-local talent, just for their egos. or, maybe i'm confusing them with ad agency types that i've worked with in…

No. Tourette's is a tic disorder but not every tic is Tourette's. To quote Wikipedia: > It is characterized by multiple movement (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. > Tourette's is at the more severe end of a spectrum of tic disorders.
