The text on the page is nigh unreadable. Why set the colour of paragraphs, the most important piece of information on your page, to a `--text-muted` colour? Quick fix, on the console: document.querySelectorAll('p').forEach(p

Thank you for the laugh, wasn’t expecting that. Though I have a modern external Apple keyboard, which is not that weighty but it is metal and fairly thin with sharp corners. It could do some damage.

The fact that you had to find an article from three decades ago for an instance of killing with a keyboard is telling. All the others aren’t exactly that recent and are mostly isolated cases. Meanwhile, on gun related deaths, there are enti

I’m not actively following the saga, but that seems like a gross mischaracterisation in all directions. I haven’t seen anyone seriously call her a Nazi¹ and her comments aren’t harmless either. ¹ Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it has hap

Theoretically, if it happened before and the ransom wasn’t paid, there’s both an incentive by the service to improve their security practices and a disincentive on the hackers to target that business.

In the abstract, it’s hilarious to imagine the hackers keeping the data, then some time from now leaking it accidentally (or another hacker group hacks them) then them having to issue a public apology for not having kept the stolen data sec
