The only things I've been denied as an EU citizen on the web so far have been US local news websites. And tbh I assume that is just one company that has a blanken policy of sorts. So I don't think "often" is accurate her

I'm just scared that internet bots are gonna get really, really good. Every comment on Reddit will be fake, every match on Tinder will be a really realistic bot, etc. But I guess they won't be using ChatGPT, just LLMs in general.

Berlin currently has a 29 € ticket which is much more interesting if you don't travel the rest of Germany often. Hopefully it gets extended beyond April.

I never played the older Elite, but Elite Dangerous was/is the same for me. I love that game. I haven't played in years because I don't want to get sucked in again. I imagine the source code is significantly larger and less i

The EU runs bug bounty programs for open-source software. But I'm not sure if the EU directly funds open-source projects. https://ec.europa.eu/info/news/eu-fossa-bug-bounties-full-fo...

Proves it for this one use case maybe. I don't even think you can get webapp notifications on iOS.

When they were testing this in Ireland over the last year, there was no option to see likes at all. That probably makes more sense than this.

Apple Pay on the web has made this very convenient. Being able to buy something with just a single button is amazing. Unfortunately it's not available for large swathes of potential customers since it's iOS/macOS only.

I think it's slightly weird UI/UX to show the password prompt if FaceID will just instantly unlock the phone anyway (at least when not wearing a mask).
