tommek4077··on Did I just lose half a million dollars?
Americans do not understand money transfer, they are still using cheques and western union.

To everyone: If you wrongly send money to a mistyped IBAN it is gone.

Just because you can do crazy stuff, doesn't mean you have to do it. Like the normal guy isn't trading interst rate derivates or stuff like that.

Also at least with european banking, if you wringly send money to another account, it is also gone forever. A lot of scams regarding old people build up on this. We do not need to buy google play store vouchers like the americans tonget scammed.

Tldr; You can't, ever.
tommek4077··on I wrote Task Manager and I just remembered something (2020)
Yeah, because linux is so locked down you cant access, manipulate or kill processes in any way else...

Too much to read dude, should I get stoned now or not?

Browserfingerprinting, they see you again on ther resultspage after x seconds -> bad result. They don't see you again -> good result.
tommek4077··on Programming in 1987 versus Today
Yeah, we should just give up. I get you.
tommek4077··on Programming in 1987 versus Today
Good point, there helps fingerpointing. Bad programmers are not hearing enough that they are bad. Slow, bloated software is just accepted somehow. Even in the dev community. That needs to stop. Start naming the people behind all those electron crap.
tommek4077··on Programming in 1987 versus Today
But you still can ignore those idiots. It works very well.

640KB who has such a fancy machine? Now I need to load the mouse driver in upper memory again. If anyone needs some help, i've got my config.sys on a floppy disk.
tommek4077··on DIY Mail
Real servers, they don't even need to be expensive. But spammers would not create 12 month contracts. Bonus: as much traffic as you like and REAL hardware. Starts at 6$/month.

Because there is no such thing like mail?
tommek4077··on DIY Mail
The rule is: no residential ip and no cloud provider.
tommek4077··on DIY Mail
To whoever always ends up in spam: stop using cloud providers. Spammers use cloud providers, so you get banned, too. I am having my own mail server for over 15 years, no it is not a lot of maintenance. I had to create some spf records at some point in time and thats it.
tommek4077··on Quick and dirty way to rip an eBook from Android
The point is, for every stupid DRM "solution" you come up with, some technical capable guy will find a way to crack this. Happens since more then 40 years in computer sience.
tommek4077··on Maybe we could tone down the JavaScript (2016)
Only if you use 8k$ Macs. Not for normal people.
tommek4077··on Maybe we could tone down the JavaScript (2016)
It isnt. They always show "This app needs Javascript enabled" even if its a simple blog.
tommek4077··on A Tumblr developer on the App Store approval process
Because you need a pwa for a blog website?!
tommek4077··on A Tumblr developer on the App Store approval process
Maybe we shouldn't create an app for every website?
tommek4077··on Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one
So you are just not that well versed as you thought you are.
tommek4077··on Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one
Hipster mail system. Also known as "mail like we've done it the last 4 decades". Strange!
tommek4077··on Step Away from Stack Overflow
Extrinsic, from the outside. For example being paid for stuff.
tommek4077··on New EU data blockage as German court would ban many cookie management providers
One could just outlaw it. Like theft. It would not hinder you in the first place, but you would could be prosecuted.

What functionality would that be? Anything else than targeted ads?
tommek4077··on Test your product on a crappy laptop
The same survivor bias analogy goes for usage of Firefox and Javascript in general. "Our users dont block JS and are 99% on Chrome." Because the tech savvy users just block your surveillance stuff.
tommek4077··on Test your product on a crappy laptop
Thats the same point. When everyone professional is using 8000$ Macs or PC workstations but you customers are on C64s and Amigas, you would like to run some tests on those machines as well.
tommek4077··on Test your product on a crappy laptop
Devs are lazy and wont give up there luxury macs, even for testing.
tommek4077··on I was part of a human subject research study without my consent
Would it not need something written (paper) in the US to start anything? In most european countries you just ignore mails with stuff like this and wont be scared in anyway, just as you are not to be scammed by our beloved nigerian prince.

Maybe all the CoC gladiators, trying to kill off FOSS are paid saboteurs?
