now that IPv6 has been adopted globally.

Now that is a quality joke

Ah, but corporate profit margins are much more important than people

I know this is a meme, but security is not binary. It is not you either have 100% or 0%, it is always a sliding scale, and usually on the opposite side is convenience.

Encrypting your drive protects against someone stealing your computer or breaning into youe house while the computer is off/locked.

People like to trash people that write down their passwords on a post-it note and keep next to their computer. It is not ideal, but having a somewhat complex password written down protects a lot more against attacks over the internet than having "password". However, if others have physical access to the note then it is obviously very bad. Like for example in an office.

It is almost like having strong consumer protection rights means the corporations can't do what they want. No, must be socialism! /s

Eat it.

Like the old joke, "What do you call alternative medicine that works?" "Medicine!"

If some herb, plant or extract has a proven effect it will be adopted by real medicine, and all that is left in alternative medicine is the scams that do not work.

The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

...and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won't work

Meanwhile, .tech exists and is not country-specific but is far less popular for some reason.

Simple answer: length.

Two chars look a lot better than something with more chars, and all two chars TLD are ccTLDs.

Lawn Chair looks ok, but unless they fix this issue I will not switch.

Basically you can't set the main "home page", ie where you end up on home press. I like to have it set up so the home is in the middle and then you can swipe left to go to another screen(s), and swipe right to go to other screen(s).

Forcing the home screen to be the first means you can only swipe right, and have to go through many useless screens to get to the one you want.

Doubt they will fix it either, as it has been open since 2022. Without knowing their stack it sounds like a really simple fix, just storw which is the main screen. Normally it is [1], 2, 3, 4. But let the user choose to put it as [3] for example if they want.

This is exactly what it was designed to solve before cryptobros turned it into a pump and dump scheme.

If you want to buy something from seller X that is between you and X and no one else. No goverment, payment processor or other third party can get a cut or stop it for any reason.

I actually had a sound issue the other day. Just no sound, how weird. It worked the day before. Checked wpactl, volumes etc, everything was fine and working. Restarted pipewire, still no sound.

Turns out my external mixer lost power because the powet socket was slightly loose.

Rich people with good lawyers don't have to care about such pesky things as the truth.

Hmmm, tricky. +1 for Simon Whistler, -1 for TV too high. 🤔

If you live in a city and have no backyard or similar, you should not be allowed to own a dog.

Boink! Right into the pillar, again

Great, but they should donate some of the saved money to open source projects they are using to make sure they stay updated.

My guess: it is a low hanging fruit and then they can say "Look! We blocked X million bots! So you can trust the users that are left...... please don't look into it any more"

The Bro!

Yes, look at this blog post from Factorio team, it is a few years old by now but still valid

They start talking about G2A about half way through the post. Basically they much rather see you pirate the game than buy it through G2A
