It's a fine suggestion. If it breaks the site, then I'd call that a broken website and move on. Maybe next time someone points me there, they'll have fixed their critical issue for users who block tracking proxies.

I'm okay with not being in the target audience of sites that really want to do this. I've got enough other things to do at less hostile places that my FOMO isn't triggered in the least.

FWIW, the next tweet: "Es war kein Covid-Tod" is saying that it WAS NOT a Covid death. In case you see the keyword but don't understand German.

I think this is part of why they make it so damn hard to find apps you already bought or downloaded before. AFAIK there's no way to search these, just a huge list to scroll through in no identifiable order, and anything that was removed or incompatible with the current device just isn't there.

Why would web3 not have mobile sites like web[?] does? The source lives in decentralized version control. This is as web3 as it could get without tacking some kind of pointless blockchain grift onto it.

While I'm flattered that you think I could have come up with it, I must confess it wasn't my idea https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14694-superstitions-e...

It's also a giant leap from morganucodon to homo sapiens, which is to say it's a vast amount of tiny leaps over eons.

> adapt the trappings and ceremonies of religions

Watching its weird icons puttering by, I always felt like ClearCase was failing in an attempt to do this.

A massive ritualized practice with its own symbols, laws, large structures, sacrifices, regional variants, written and unwritten codes of ethics, hierarchies of permissions and enforcement that sometimes involve costume and decorated carriages...

I'm talking about commuting, of course!

Potential ancestors who didn't experience the dread of possibly being watched from the tall grass were more likely to be eaten. And so we begin to believe in the unseen.

Does "fraud" here mean "fraud" there? What is the Arabic word for fraud? Are there multiple words for it with nuanced meanings?

I don't know the answers, but I can imagine such an arrangement where saying "I can pay X amount of money owed on my credit card at Y date" and then failing to do so for any variety of reasons could be seen as fraudulent.

I think the real LPT is to be darn sure you know the law and the language in strict places, and if you can't, be unreasonably careful.

Opinions will exist with or without your permission. There's no entitlement about it, and you would have no standing to decide it if there was. "Automatically not entitled to an opinion" is a dog whistle for fascism.

Rust drops at the same time. I don't use Arch, so I can only guess it was something related to the way Arch was distributing the packages. Maybe they fell behind or something?

No worries. I took Latin for three years in school and did a double take because I confused it with "cave canem": Beware of the dog!

> conveys a set of concepts in a succinct manner by way of shared convention

Except that is not the case here. "Buyer Beware" is more succinct and in the same language as the rest of the headline. It's also not a domain-specific term, so shared convention is out. The author is sprinkling on some Latin to seem smarter.

As someone with ADHD-PI, this sort of thing is so damn tempting. Like to the point where I could probably actually focus if I knew I could get a transcript.

> something like Otter but offline with tolerable performance?

Shorthand

Yeah, it's worded like he's trying to write some expose about how dangerous otter might be, but really he's just exposing how terribly leaky his own journalistic tradecraft is. I guess I appreciate his unintentional candor? I hope he has less sensitive gigs lined up.

I recall the analogy attributed to Gene Spafford:

> Using encryption on the Internet is the equivalent of arranging an armored car to deliver credit card information from someone living in a cardboard box to someone living on a park bench.

Why the F would you even bother with Signal if you're just going to record the call to some other third party service? This is an enormous and stupid mistake.

I try not to reply, but I probably owe you some clarification.

My point was that disclaimers to the effect of "no offense but" are almost always useless, no matter how qualified[1]. Familiarity with the plight of another doesn't make insensitivity about it impossible. Whether you actually have Crohn's or not is a moot point in the face of this.

1 - the sheer preponderance of such disclaimers sometimes makes me wonder if there actually are such linguistic "get out of jail free" cards and I'm the only one who doesn't have the common sense to understand it.

I think that's an important part of reading it. There are parts that are really difficult to understand, and that lack of understanding only gets you a glimpse of the maddening confusion the characters are experiencing. Only the Judge has any idea what's going on, and he's a nightmare's nightmare.

This is my approach as well. I see passwords as being in tiers:

- Level 0: the serious stuff that would absolutely suck if it got compromised. Namely Google. Banks.

- Level 1: things that would be an inconvenience if they were compromised. Okay it's annoying that someone got into my Amazon account or something, but this can be dealt with.

- Level 2: passwords my in-laws are going to use to watch Netflix or the like. If this gets compromised... ok, that's a pain for Netflix but this is essentially a victimless situation.

Password managers are really good for the Level 2 stuff. Really, there are too many passwords we need to know. They are okay for the Level 1 stuff, just have an idea who you're going to call. I wouldn't use them for the Level 0 stuff.

Like anything else, you balance your risk against convenience. Approached this way, even if the password manager gets hacked, you're only minorly inconvenienced. Always have 2FA on where allowed and what's the worst that will happen?

Seriously, it's all on-topic. That's why I went into software. It appealed to my cross-disciplinary interests.

I imagine it's incredibly painful and involves toxic megacolon. Took me about 15 seconds the first time I saw that the cause of death was Crohn's.

> I realize this may sound insensitive to those with or knowing somebody with Crohns. I have Crohns :P)

The old "I'm not insensitive about X because I can claim to have X in an anonymous forum" defense, deployed preemptively at that.

This kind of thing always reminds me of one of those articles that used to pop up from time to time about some massive coup in EVE Online. I wouldn't have any idea what they were talking about or why it was showing up on my radar, and moreover, it would be clear that the money, time, and energy required to begin to have even a neophyte's understanding would not be worthwhile.

I'm still not convinced that Ethereum isn't just a strange RPG that people who don't really want to play are accidentally getting involved in.

> a DAO working to build open-source VTOL aircraft and air taxi protocol

The most reasonable conclusion is that the hacker was sent from the future to try to avert the creation of DAO-controlled flying cryptodrones.

This is what happens when you use the (wiki) encyclopedia to write your paper. It's a paraphrase of "First appearing in 2010, Rust was designed by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research". See me after class!

We're pleased to announce these exciting new options for redeeming your skymiles!

Giving out a phone number to make a phone call. The horror :)
