Not really, not for me and many others anyway. I would just get an LTE modem for backup internet, my PC is better at everything else. I'm not sure about which sites you're talking about, but you can also do 2FA without a phone.

Vienna's Seestadt Aspern fits that description and seems to me like a very good attempt at building a "new town" with its own centre and infrastructure. It's only a short train ride away from Vienna's center, but so

Well, right now it could also just weaken copyleft while leaving proprietary non-public code copyright holders well-off.

There are many supported and distinct Linux distributions, not so for Windows versions. I wouldn't want to run Windows 2000 in 2021 because it's the last one without telemetry.

I'm not sure of the etymology here, but "extremist" could also denote someone who uses extreme measures to achieve their goals. By this definition, someone who wants complete redistribution of wealth, but aims to achieve that

So would you say that the best strategy to making North Korea a better place would be to make the lives of North Koreans as miserable as possible, destabilising the country? It might work, but it seems antithetical to the original goal of h

I've found that setting resource limits via cgroups for the whole session makes the slowdowns much more manageable. It's definitely not ideal, I'd prefer some more elaborate system where each launched app was able to use only

Off-topic to most of the points the article is making, but I'm happy to finally have some mathematical basis to my observation that saturating IO on a Linux system slows it down exponentially (or at least very non-linearly).

I've used the F-Droid fork of MAPS.ME and now have Organic Maps installed. It's much faster than anything web-based and also much faster than OsmAnd. I wish I could have OsmAnd with this renderer, since now I use both, OsmAnd i

I for one am happy with pip/requirements.txt and venvs, I guess if I wanted to publish packages I would look at a more comprehensive system, but for internal apps and scripts I don't see the benefit. I'd love to know why othe

As far as I know, there wasn't ever any law mandating banners for any and all cookies, it was for (frankly poorly defined, GDPR somewhat fixed that) non-necessary cookies. But nobody's going to put "Do you want to be tracked?

How about we actually think hard about the situation, formulate clearly why we don't like it and propose non-ad-hoc legislation that fixes the specific issues? Banning companies on the basis of "too powerful"/"I don

I'm salty because WebExtensions still can't do something as seemingly simple as bind global keybindings years after the transition. I actually supported the switch, but back then I was optimistic about missing features being add

Well, in that case I didn't learn much in high school, I avoided homework like the plague.

Ideally those requests would also include a "deleted after" date. If such a thing was implemented and trustworthy (kind of hard, admittedly), it would make me a fan of an EU-wide eID.

Not really. I think some people associate driving a car with freedom of movement. I get it, when it's your primary mode of transport, it feels dystopian to have it taken away. Interestingly, I get a similar feeling in places with no&#x

Nothing that out of the ordinary, but I'm happy with an IKEA bed frame, locally-made mattress, and long (> 2m) fluffy down duvet and pillow. I have to say starched (is there a better name?) sheets and covers are awesome ! So clean-

It's interesting to see some people feel this way. I don't really filter my views in posts on the web compared to conversations with (not very close) friends. It does feel like that could very well come back and bite me, maybe I&#

That's not the point, at all. The point is that the WHO and others like it should be apolitical and not be subservient to any government.

Yes, but they're still judged for their actions, so they'll lose voters if they do nothing or take actions that will be widely criticised by the press.

Yes, they do, campaigning on a program of better services and then not delivering anything is very much against career politicians' interests.

I pay 600CZK (~30USD) for a 1000/60 DOCSIS Internet connection (with a public IPv4 IP!) in the Czech Republic. Granted, it's to a flat in a city, not an isolated house in the suburbs, but I'm pretty sure Vodafone's rates

They actually show it only once per StackExchange site, it's just that there are quite a few of those now. And the settings can be changed from a link in the footer. All in all, probably the best they could do without eschewing trackin

How did you evaluate the auth implementations? In my experience it's about as hard to poke holes into something as it is to fix it. Besides, a custom auth implementation doesn't need to be best-in-class, it needs to just be good e

Yes, but I think the learning curve matters more, especially for students who are going to be mostly writing code, not reading existing projects.

C# would be a better choice. In addition to top-level statements, the standard API seems much less "dogmatically" OOP. Reading a file is just one static method away. Unfortunately, it's still not possible to have top-level fu

The main difference to me is that Steam is an established platform with a reputation for not pulling games for no reason and also the fact that there's always "extralegal" ways to play that same game if Steam does pull it. Th

I think you might be better served by something like qutebrowser. Besides, IE will fail on quite a few non-JS websites. For example, pretty much all my websites use CSS grid.

In what scenario do you need to have personal info associated with accounts and don't need to have full access to it? I see no user privacy benefits to outsourcing auth, unless all you need is to do is to verify someone's a real p
