Because many sites check the domain part of your email address against a blocklist, which contains entries like trashmail.com to prevent users from signing up with ad-hoc throwaway accounts. They don't want that, because they'd

Frankly, I just don't care about the distinction. I'm going to engage with sites, I just choose not to download some of their content which I find annoying. Whether they offer that content or not doesn't matter to me at all,

You should urgently contact your IT department. Not enforcing ad blocking extensions is a security liability.

In Safari, I use AdGuard and Consent-O-Matic, which catches pretty much everything.

by 9dev 3mo ago
I primarily use Safari, and only switch to Chrome if a site misbehaves; every time I do so, I'm aghast by the ads and popups I suddenly get everywhere - despite having uBlock installed. I refuse to take that as an acceptable state

Why would you even browse the web without using an ad blocker?
308.
by 9dev 4mo ago
Yeah, I figured that in the mean time. It just didn’t occur to me because my use case is literally the opposite—having a secure company network where strict ACLs are the core value, not a nuisance. But if easy ad-hoc connections are your go

With Tailscale at least, you can pretty easily share a node with someone else. If your target audience are solo developers or hobbyists, making it even easier to share access is surely nice; from the perspective of someone in charge of maki

There might be a misunderstanding of what Tailscale offers here. There is no "VPN" in the classic "virtual network" way. With Tailscale, you can - as with Iroh, IIUC - connect arbitrary nodes to each other, where a node

In Germany your employer has to grant you two consecutive weeks of vacation by law, and vacation is very rarely denied, even for 3–4 weeks breaks.

I am not an American, and I personally would be in favour of excluding the USA from the union of western nations.

Democracy means that you bear collective responsibility for the government you voted for, regardless of the choices of the individual.

Honestly, I don't really consider the USA a western nation anymore in the sense that European nations are.

I wouldn't bet my money that Israel won't be, eventually. The public opinion is turning against them right now.

by 9dev 4mo ago
You need to draw red lines somewhere. If you wage attack wars on other countries or reject our shared values, you can't be part of Western society or enjoy its amenities. Don't do that, and you can. It's that simple.

This is categorically wrong, but even then - those that do not vote at all bear even more responsibility, and are traitors to democracy itself. By not participating in shaping it, you're dishonouring everyone that fought and died for y

History has shown over and over that that strategy is doomed to fail - see communism, nuclear energy, or meddling with the Middle East for some arbitrary recent examples.

The only way to fix things would be proportional representation and moving away from the two party system.

That seems to be more of an emergent phenomenon than conscious design decision to me to be honest - never assume malice when stupidity will suffice and all that.

It doesn’t matter who you’re angry with in that case, because you’re going to suffer the consequences regardless. No lawsuit is going to reimburse for that.
