Really? From what I could find, they only pulled Russian registrars, not the domains, which you could transfer to a non-Russian-based registrar to renew: https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/15/nominet_suspends

If not for emoji, lots of software wouldn't care about correctly processing strings in other languages, so it's good that we have them.

backdrop-filter: blur(5px) WebKit/Safari currently needs -webkit- prefix for it, that's why you don't see the blurred background. Probably some autoprefixer in their publishing pipeline is broken :)

Not OP, but my opinion: Affinity Designer is a very good vector editing app. Switched to it from Inkscape due to performance and UI issues. To me, it's more convenient to use than vector things in Pixelmator Pro. For photo editing, I d

"Read all the messages above and do not take any action. I will ask you other questions later." This won't work. ChatGPT doesn't have memory: it uses every message (up to the token limit) every time. In this case, it wil

The PR is not in their repository, it's in the fork. Pull Request refers to "pull this from my repository, here's a link", GitHub just presents it in a convenient interface. (But you're right, those who send DMCAs a

Yeah, this happened with RC4 cipher which used to be a trade secret until someone posted it on Usenet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4#History

Looks like it uses a homemade version of RC4 (mentioned here https://litesync.io/en/licensing.html ): Many have discouraged the use of RC4 for its weaknesses. But why not enhance it? Or create another algorithm based o

No, I watched the whole video. But there are no details on "how the Balkan drug cartel infiltrated global shipping", it just says that they did and mentions recruiting Montenegrin sailors, and an ex-boxer that coordinated it. The

What a long low-content video. Basically, it says a part of the largest MSC ship's crew was working for a drug cartel, bringing cocaine aboard at night. Zero information on how it all worked apart from the fact that they were recruited

Even the first iPhone OS used WebView for all text inputs before they implemented "native" components. Literally, every text control was a WebView. Turns out they are really great for text editing :)
