I think this is something you need to address with the owner or organizer of the event. If they say you can film, you can. If they say you can't, you can't. I imagine there might be sufficient demand for airsoft fights where video

In Netherland schools have to ask for permission to use photos of your children on social media or elsewhere. I have no idea if the same holds true for non-schools.

I read up on PLA when I got my 3D printer because it's popular material for that. From what I understand, it's biodegradable above 50° C. Not something you'll find outside Death Valley. Still better than most other options, b

I feel like I'm far too eager to accept whatever I bought, and reluctant to return it. Maybe I should play their game and return more stuff when it's not quite perfect.

But keyword advertising on your competitor's name looks very dishonest. I search for company A but get B as top result.

I live in Netherland, and here UberEats was a latecomer to what Thuisbezorgd had been doing for ages, but other than that it rings true. Before Thuisbezorgd, it was mostly just pizza that got delivered. Maybe also other Italian food, and ma

I've received cards from taxi drivers so I can contact them directly next time. Food delivery I prefer to do through the restaurant's own website.

The best example of context sensitive ads I've seen, is on the Penny Arcade webcomic. It's a comic about computer games, so most/all ads there are of interest to gamers. Not only that, but the ads are made by the comic creato

I think he picked the most similar ones out of all the submissions from the entire class. But also, if you generate a list, maybe the AI ensures some diversity in that list, but if every student generates the same list, that still shows a l

Can I use this to generate links to news stories that I stumbled across many years ago, but that Google is unable to find for me anymore? Because that would be really useful.

Funny thing is that the article gives an example where "last write wins" is quite clearly a bad solution. Balance = 100 A: balance = 120 B: balance = 80 Clearly, these are transactions, and it doesn't matter in which order th

Interestingly, f-droid doesn't initially show CoMaps but does show Organic Maps because apparently CoMaps doesn't pass an antifeature filter for depending on a tethered service on codeberg. I don't quite understand why this i

This is the big reason why I prefer OSM apps. They all download the maps, and your map will work regardless of connectivity.

Antifa is just short for Anti-Fascist. Their only goal is stopping fascism. If you see them as a threat, you're saying that you are a fascist. Also, it's not an organisation, but a mindset that all people who oppose fascism share.

Yeah, but they need money to pay for developers to enshittify the app.

The one time fee doesn't pay for your ongoing costs, but it does pay for your upfront costs. The trick is to either get other users to pay for your ongoing costs, or to reduce ongoing costs and stop further development.

But it should exist. This is blatantly false advertising. Of course a jet fighter is a ridiculous thing to promise, but it's still a promise they chose to make. Why make a promise they never intend to keep? That sort of thing should be

It's a life time membership, not a decade time membership. And OP is still alive. Why they feel entitled to the thing they paid for is not hard to see. A good question is why an app that worked fine over a decade ago apparently still c

Wasn't there a big train crash with hazardous materials on an understaffed train a few years ago? And a strike for more sensible working conditions that was struck down by Congress? I love that the US moves so much freight by train rat

Why not use the popular spigot server? I use it myself, but I've got to admit I have no idea whether it's based on Mojang code or a reimplementation. Spigot supports the newest Minecraft editions, and requires a MS account, but I

Is this just about the name? I always thought naming it after a completely unrelated language was a stupid name. I would welcome making ECMAScript the official name. Or Webscript or something would make a lot of sense.

I actively did some crossfit a couple of years ago. It's not my thing at all (when I exercise at all, I tend towards obscure martial arts), and I absolutely hated it, but at some point I went 3 times a week, and I still don't enti

We should stop letting ourselves get suckered into these proprietary systems. Same with Discord. It may look great now, but there's still a company behind it looking to extract as much profit from it as possible, and eventually it will

I find this absolutely ridiculous and I question how this can even be legal. Surely a contract cannot be unilaterally changed on such short notice? Imagine your landlord increased the rent by 4000% and it's due in 5 days or you're

We know a fun and interesting thing and we want to share it. You could use the same argument to stop teaching many other useful skills to kids. It's a bad argument.

Netherland used to have its own system for NFC payments, and it worked perfectly. Last year, all banks suddenly abandoned it and forced people to use Google Wallet instead. Of course I refused, because I don't want to share my financia

I'm old enough to remember when supermarkets had boxes. All the goods they sell comes to them in big cardboard boxes, and and supermarkets would have a fenced off area where they dumped all those boxes, so whenever a customer needed a
