>Don't use split DNS So what's your solution when you have a wholly private service that will never have a public v4 address, nor a publicly routable v6? How do clients get the address for a nice domain name without the address

It doesn't have to be about ruling, but self-determination is something a great many value quite highly, and think there should be more of. AI controlling all of humanity removes that from the equation entirely. You should be free to l

PNG has comment chunks tEXt, zTXt, and iTXt. You can have a completely normal image whose file is stuffed with as much content as you want. That is less fun, I suppose.

I used to do this but I found it downloads needed language files in the background. So every time it updated, I would clear all the app data, open it again on something innocuous, like a text file, toggle each language I used. Not knowing h

But the hero image is an AI homage to cute paper-craft, to remind us that people cannot or will not put in that level of effort any more, so it's okay!

It discusses clearly, and concludes with, lamenting the loss of complex flavour in favour of sweetness. Also mentioned is people's assumption that fruit's inherently healthy, but the sugar increase is changing that. The link betwe

Yes, exploration, discovery. One doesn't stumble across items available on inter-library loan. I could not count the number of books I picked up and enjoyed, even if only for a short while, whilst I was studying at uni.

The utility of $_ is often voided by tab-completion in the subsequent command, at least in bash. You won't know what it contains, which makes it dangerous, unless you first check it in a way that also carries it forwards: printf %s\\n

>The terms and conditions are simple. Every time you perform any network access, you have to send a copy of the payload and response back to my server. Either that, or you're in breach of my terms. That's not how contracts work

It's an exception that English doesn't need, and it only adds to the difficulty of learning the language. You being used to it doesn't make it good. I'm going to try and learn English. I'm trying and learn English.

Not quite. Programs normally need to be compiled per system type, and sometimes per system, due to differences in the OSes' versions, APIs and hardware. The idea behind this type of emulator is that you need compile it only once, and t

The positive of that approach (for users) is that it relies on client-side scripts, so it's possible for privacy tools to target those.

It's not just pixels. They strongly encourage site owners to send (normalised and hashed) personal data from every interaction to them, with the promise of better targeting for the site's ads. You cannot block this or opt out beca

So, knowing how much time and effort is required to maintain such responsibilities, you think someone with a similar situation, but who also has trouble being organised in general, has extra time to twiddle their thumbs for half an hour or

That's a good assessment, but it misses the fact that the person with the effective dysfunction genuinely believes they will 'be there in a second', because they cannot accurately assess time. The lack of forthcoming contriti

You can't see how, in response to a comment that was primarily about whether "time blindness" is real, which you quoted directly, your comment comes across as dismissing any self-diagnosis as Munchausen syndrome? Did you read

Why is it that you think you're offering life-changing advice? What makes you think I don't use repetition? What makes you think I've never tried timers? What makes you think I'm the exact same as person as your friends

So you didn't think they were dismissive or trivialised the issue? I mean, I can sympathise with the frustration of people somewhat 'giving up' after labelling their own issues, but it's not a logical conclusion to assig

Omfg. A timer, for everything! Why didn't I think of that? And I'd set this timer for getting dressed, and showering, and making coffee, and conversing with my children. "Sorry, son, I can't help you any further with pra

Another one that just doesn't get it. In that scenario, if you texted Jimmy, it would be a choice, if someone with ADHD did, it wouldn't. Again as stupid a response as telling someone in a wheelchair they chose not to walk upsta

You clearly don't have these issues, and I doubt you care about anyone who does, because your "Oh, come on." response positively reeks of 'that's not my experience, so other people's can't be that differen

False dichotomy. You can both take measures to address an issue you have, and still know that won't always solve the problem. Being really early sometimes is the only option, but if you're always doing it, regardless of how cri
