It’s not a question of “worthwhile”, I’m not judging them for writing mobile minigames or whatever, it’s a question of pulling in the exact opposite direction to where we should be going. What’s the point of having people dedicating their l

I think it depends on the store. In Montreal there’s a “micro-saucery”, I love the concept (and their sauces are great)

by namdnay 2y ago
Anything that’s salty or acidic or sweet or fermented enough isn’t dangerous. So no risk for jams, hot sauces, beers, pickles etc. Canning fruit or vegetables requires more care

it's possible using group policies, but imagine the complexity of getting the IT empires of a megacorp to approve and deploy this kind of stuff - it would be a nightmare. Then microsoft come in and say "hey, just use Edge, we&#x27

CHIPS is a nice solution, the problem is how it interacts with SSO IDP login pages. 99% of IDPs in an enterprise setting are configured to refuse being framed (for "security" reasons). What does this mean? That any embedded compon
