I hate fighting its compiler and having to jump through hoops to get things done that’d be simple in Python.
If I’m gonna use a system programming language, I pick Rust. At least Rust provides clearer compiler errors, a package manager, a decent plugin ecosystem, and memory safety. Its runtime errors are a lot easier to decipher than the infamous “Segmentation fault (core dumped)”.
I use snapdrop.net to send files within my network without any software, but its uptime isn’t great.
If they can be obliged into respecting the cookie consent rules, they can be obliged to honor Do Not Track. It’s just a matter of turning it into law.
I’m generally skeptical of articles making broad judgments about entire age groups. Remember those “millennials are ruining [insert thing]” articles?
There’s an elevated hijacking risk with eSIM. If a hacker is able to social engineer a customer rep into thinking they’re you and requesting an eSIM swap, or they get into your account by recycling a leaked password you used on another site, it’s suddenly really easy to take over your phone number from halfway across the world.
They could call a premium number they own to extract money from you. They could request SMS-based 2FA tokens. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.
It’s a bittersweet victory. Google is rubbing its hands because it creates the opportunity for Chrome to dominate on every platform.
I don’t like that the post insinuates that the EU created the cookie wall headache. It’s sites that decide they absolutely need to set unnecessary cookies for which they need consent. Iirc websites have to show a ‘Reject all’ button on equal footing with ‘Accept all’ nowadays.
There are plugins like Consent-O-Matic that do the clicking for you. But the real solution would be that the EU mandates that if the browser sends a Do Not Track signal, websites should treat that as an implicit ‘Reject all’.
We seek out products that have received good reviews. Preferably lots of reviews and recently written. We’ve voted with our wallets and businesses have adapted.
Sure the feedback prompts are annoying. But we’re the ones who created the “problem”, and I can easily dismiss review prompts.
Since a business is at a competitive disadvantage if they’re the only ones not collecting high amounts of reviews, we’d need to level the playing field. I suppose you could create a law banning businesses from explicitly solliciting feedback, leaving it up to people to seek out a feedback form by their own initiative. But then you’ll have only complainers and people who are extremely enthusiastic.
Neuralink, I believe. I sure hope he’s not gonna force anyone to use it lol
You mean figuratively. Elon’s police is not coming to arrest you if you have doubleplus ungood thoughts.
It’s not like they have anywhere else to go. Frigging monopoly.
Another day, another instance of Scandinavia leading by example.

This is a nice contest. I assume the prize is sponsored, but Framework appears to be a respectable company and the laptop is a cool incentive.
Funny thing is, since that comic was originally published bird detection has gotten a lot easier
