I feel this. Recently _some_ company, I have no idea which, has decided my IP is malicious and refuses to serve my requests. This has effectively banned me from a few websites, including a government service I pay taxes for.

Aged like wine.
Anyway, 0x83.

Apparently the kosher way around this is installing RuneLite and the Jagex launcher in Lutris or Wine, but I just gave up.
Exciting if so. I think it's a cool language
I could say "every word in English starts with ß" and then point out that every single word violates this rule. What a crazy language!
But that would be silly. Not because English is crazy, but because that obviously isn't true.
They're rarely "nice" places though (lain is fairly pleasant).
Is that really a valuable metric for a software engineer?
This all coming from "an anticapitalist tech blog" humoured me a little.
I won't tell you what it is though - I'm not here to hold your hand.
Your government needs to know who everybody is. That means illegal immigrants can't get drivers licenses, and that's kind of the point.
> Even IDs for undocumented people (such as Californian AB 60 driver’s licenses) require a foreign passport, national ID card or birth certificate, and can’t help people who have no state-issued identity documents at all.
> This existing ID system is harmful, inaccessible and a single point of failure
This is kind of a Wii ship of Theseus.
Were MacBook upgrades not so expensive (all i want is 16GB!) and my love affair with NixOS, I'd probably have regretted buying one.
It does look pretty though.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to a mixture of elitism, protectionism, and market dominance, writing cross-platform software in any capacity, let alone cross platform software that requires low-level hardware access, Bluetooth, video, geolocation, etc., is far harder than it deserves to be, and using the web as an abstraction layer makes these things a million times easier.
edit: It's also far easier to distribute this stuff. I just want my video game controller working in slightly better order - I don't want to have to install some bluetooth library and then choose between an x86 Mac, ARM Mac, x86 Windows, x64 Windows, AppImage, deb, flatpak, .tar.gz, snap, my package manager (if it's even there), try install it, shit, it doesn't run on my distro, patch it, use it once, then uninstall it.
