highest quality, sure... You probably don't mean things like this, right https://www.vice.com/en/article/mgbx9q/how-to-make-breakfast... Appears catering only to millenials wasn't the best idea.

Question is, was the site submitted by the owner as some sort of test, or was it submitted by a "friend" who wanted to show the owner that the idea doesn't work.

So, when will Google be fined for the blatantly fraudlent ads they are allowing on YouTube? Scam all over the place.

While you are rating things, let me chime in and say I still use fetchmail today. For some reason, I prefer a local Dovecot over everything else that needs my laptop to be online to browse the INBOX.

This is what I believed as well, until I saw how one of the basic democratic rights, the right to demonstrate, was undermined in my country from the first day on. The main argument wasn't even spreading the virus, while that was aso m

robots.txt was a performance-hack. It never felt like a audience-filter. As sad as it might sound, hoping for filtering on publicly reachable content seems a bit naiv in my book. If you want your stuff not learnt by an AI, you better not

I feel we have been given a very valuable tool. I think the most sublte aspect for personal use is the freedom from having to ask seemingly stupid questions. It turns out there are a lot of interesting things on this earth. While a good

Thanks for this compassionate reply. Its about time that we start understanding eachother even if we are in disagreement. It is subtle, but it really makes a difference. Let me just reply to your last point: < People you agree with wi

I believed this as well. Then came covid-19, and I had to learn that power corrupts people, same for those on the left as well as those on the right. Since then, I basically lost all believe in the narrative of democracy that I have been

Till someone pulls the plug on your satellite... I seriously doublt there is a way to prevent the powers that be to shutdown the internet for some. This will always be a threat, and before we have true worldwide anarchy, nothing will prev

My D for a whole winter costs me €20. Strongly prefer that over any sort of "fucks-with-your-head"-drug.

Liability, tell me about it. At the age of 7, I underwent an operation without knowledge or consent of my parents. A few weeks later, my remaining 20% eyesight was down to almost 0%. IOW, so that everyone understand: I was used as a subje

"no surgery unless absolutely necessary" is becoming the default around here, because the number of hospital-acquired infections is skyrocketing in the last years. While there were absolutely no anecdotes before 2017, the number

Thanks for saying that, I couldn't agree more. If you break your leg, western mdeicine is great. For almost everything else, it fails pretty miserably because doctors have effectively no time to actually care for an individual. If i

I can almost hear the Animatrix voiceover: "At first, AI was useful. Then, we decided to automate oversight... The rest is history."

I have never digged into the matter, but the closest existing thing which resembles your idea is that apparently, in Japan, there are toilets which do automatic testing and reporting. That seems like a neat idea because it does not require

If only we had taken the issue of accessibility seriously 30 years ago, and realise that it isn't about pesky blind people wanting to participate in the society, but actually about being able to run software with different interfaces s

It took me a long time, and virtually no help from outside, to discover that vitamin D effectively cures my winter depression. I was never really feeling good around that time of the year, but it wasn't problematic enough to actually

Is calling out parents who apparently fell for the "we will care for your child, so you can go to work and dont be bothered" meme really so bizarre? I disagree. It is actually high time to do this more!

Thats my observation. If someone needs that threat, they are likely not fun to be around.

Did you go to a catholic school? I did. It took a while to get the cold heartedness of these people out of my system again. Besides, since you are talking about valuing life, whenever I think about the catholic church, their inability to

Finger-pointing is what many religious people like to do most... I am shocked this article got upvoted enough in a community of tech-people. I was hoping 30 years ago that the tyrany of christianity is being eradicated in my lifetime. I

Only tangentially related, but this reminds me of a MCSE training I once attended in the 90s, where the trainer claimed Microsoft Passwords are so secure that they can not be cracked in a reasonable amount of time. I couldn't hide my
