Google should have to clearly communicate to users what they did. Only few will even read and know about this. Rarely anybody will care.

Misbehavior on such a scale should at least be communicated so users can make an informed decision on their continued trust.

Given that their mediation is binding to discord too, depending on the mediator, it can be a good thing for customers too.

Opting out may be the safe way. But I have to wonder if that clause would be binding. ToS can't overrule law.

“The cost of bringing a defamation suit to trial can be enormous, often exceeding a quarter-million dollars’ worth of expenses, to say nothing of the value of attorney time,” [...]

Insane.

Given the spread and damage of misinformation, maybe it's time for state prosecution to not only pursue physical danger criminals, but also system society relevant destabliators.

I wouldn't use it.

Seems to me like free plan is what browsers natively support anyway. (Scam site blacklist. I highly suspect they use the same. They can't compete with the one Google hosts and all major browsers integrate.)

And instead of paying 15 usd per month, Windows defender is a well funded, well established, well trusted solution.

There's no practical gain in blockage before download. Windows defender scans upon and after download, before execution.

Usually, your consent is a simple yes/no flag, no and saving that in a cookie is enough.

I have seen this "processing" before. My assumption was that it sets cookies on third parties websites instead of only the one you visit. The basis for that assumption being that some ad network and tracker websites have/offer "opt out cookies".

I haven't checked whether that's actually the case.

There is no other reasonably valid explanation for it. Setting a few cookies doesn't take that much time. It would then be either intentionally slow and lying to you, or has horrendous unacceptable implementation (which could be seen as unlikely given how obviously customer facing it is).

You can't continue the setup process without connecting to a wifi network. There is no alternative in the UI.

It is.

Blazor is a big framework. It gives you a lot, but as a framework, also introduces stack complexity.

Being able to code on one C# codebase for a web application client and server is great. It's very fast. You can use modern C# syntax. You have component (CSS) isolation. You can switch and mix between runtime targets (server dom rendering and sending diff-updates or client-side app execution).

At work, we're using it for a webportal/webapp and I have not fundamentally regretted us using it. It's definitely not worse than anything else. For a productive development and product there's a little bit of framework knowledge you have to learn, but that's not different than any other framework. And docs are very good.

I love how fast it feels to use the end product too.

Banelings are created from zerglings following a brief chrysalis phase. In the new form, the zergling's claws shrivel and become withered, and a swollen sac filled with volatile chemicals grows out of its back. The zergling's skin is repurposed, stretching over newly formed growths while its bone plates soften to hold bulbous, pulsating acid sacs in place. Though the remains of the carapace offer no real protection, they allow for unhindered delivery of the baneling's payload. The digestive and reproductory tracts are assimilated as nutrients to accelerate the process, and make room for the fleshy, mutated adrenal glands. These are re-purposed to produce and store large quantities of highly corrosive acid. Few materials can withstand this acid burst.

When a baneling gets close enough to an enemy, it triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload, causing the creature to explode with a shower of searing acid. The explosion destroys the baneling but also inflicts terrible damage to its enemies, highly effective against both structures and ground forces.

I think we saw how that goes in a Rick and Morty episode - Lawnmower Dog.

a worked - apparently doesn't even need to be a valid/web email address

Before using any potentially valid domain name I try to use example.com, which is guaranteed to not be in use or claimable.

This laptop has no way to disable wifi. I at least did not find anything - no such function key. And the Windows setup required you to connect to a wiki, with no way to proceed otherwise. Like, wtf?

Do you need the song to tell you to get shit done? Isn't listening to that just putting it back further?

Usually I open soundcloud.com and have music from there running in the background. No specific songs I regularly or specifically for this I come back to. I do have my likes, shares, and follows though, if the feed is unfitting.

Firefox having an empty check box on Blocks cross-site trackers is a lie.

Docs Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop

Ignoring isolation is misleading - in this marketing context a plain lie.

They could have made a differentiation between all-blocked vs some-blocked, but empty indicates none are blocked, which is a lie.

I can't say anything about it's quality, but Wikibooks has German.

Looks like it may be worthwhile as a or an additional starting resource, but maybe not more.

Maybe add a Solopilot key too so I can use a local Windows account, and not have to uninstall adware or disable online-search when I search my PC.

I just set up an HP Laptop for someone and Windows setup is horrendous. Fuck you Microsoft.

There's no way around using a Microsoft account, but when you enter an invalid login, you can proceed setting up a local account anyway. Then all the shit is set up to my disliking. And of course, Microsoft installs its own services adware and additional third-party adware you can't uninstall, and then, HP does the same, installing more scamware. Disgusting.

I actually implemented super tic tac toe in Blazor a while ago. It's interesting to play.

Why do I not win with a row on the outer field?

It counts won fields instead?

I say fault lies not with only one, but both.

Thank you

On the Krita website download page that nor Android is mentioned anywhere.

Krita doesn't have an Android app version though, does it?

Your honest stance is that

No. You missed my point, and the overall spirit of my comment.

Thoth was more than a messenger of a single message. Quoting Wikipedia:

He was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment.

Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at) who stood on either side of Ra's solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes,[6] the arts of magic, the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.

Nothing is an annoying, confusing brand name.

Very cute

That Elon stuttering though.

yt-dlp supports various sites and authentication options (may have to take over from webbrowser). I don't see an explicit extractor in the source, but it may work anyway. It's what I'd try first.

Gehe lieber langsam darauf zu.

Wikipedia says, with six sources,

The vast majority of those killed were civilians, though a small number of soldiers were also killed.

You attempt to make it sound like it was anything but a massive inhuman massacre by an oppressive regime. But it wasn't.

You want it to have the oppressors and murderers names when it doesn't even have the victims names?

As a memorial you could have included the soldier deaths in the memorials remembrance too, but you didn't.

People are still oppressed and silenced today. Not being allowed to remember the victims.

What do you want it to be? A memorial for what? In what way?

Teaser says "fatal bear attack" , then article lays out/quotes how press misrepresented it as a bear attack when whether it was had no evidence. (She fell to her death while running away after seeing a bear.)

By... headbanging?

How what works?

Many years ago a study found increased aluminium buildup in the brain of Alzheimer patients. Since then it has been linked as a possible cause or contributor.

You quoted the wrong/other comment

A public forever storage of all transactions is not good but bad for privacy.

Send money to someone and they can see your wallet and all transactions.

Identifying wallet owners may require different levels of effort. But that's kinda besides the point.

Yes, exactly. That's what I was referring to in my last sentence.

Did they overestimate their flexibility?

If it was prototypes, I assume it wasn't a bought nor sold product?

My LG asked me whether I want to enable the smart voice, listening, and AI stuff and I declined.
