I've been trying to get Excalidraw+ for my team since October. It's 8€/month/user.

Why is it important that the wood decomposes before you die?

Seems like it would be easy to fix this situation even without changing the law.

- Forbid browsers from sending the DNT header automatically. They may ask the user. - Consider the DNT header valid consent or withdrawal of consent. - Forbid websites from asking for consent if the header is set.

But the "tea" one, which the parent comment mentions, is described as originating in the 90s. So it's not really a valid example.

And while we are on the topic of thinhs that are bad but irrelevant to the discussion: Climate change! Man, what a bummer.

I think people who are using "literally" as emphasis instead of really meaning "in a literal sense" are criticized too much. It's just how language evolves.

But saying "literally by definition" for something that has nothing to do with the definition doesn't feel like emphasis, it feels like lying.

yt-dlp also works with TikTok links.

If there was a car with those features and someone sold it to me without talking about them, I would be pretty angry.

I think you're shooting the messenger here.

I understood this as a showcase of the features that PWAs can use, and I think it does a pretty good job at that.

Do I understand your second point correctly? The feature demo is failing at being a feature demo because it demoes some features that you don't like?

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm confused.

Do they lose their trademark if it gets used generically, or if they don't try to prevent that? Because common sense would imply the former, but then this video would just be a big admission that they already lost, no?

"Everywhere you go, you see this scratchy, hairy fastener and you say 'Hey, that's velcro!'"

Whoop, whoop, that's the sound of the polis!

No. There are leaves that aren't heads (for example, after you delete a branch, the old commits just lie around until someone deliberately cleans them up), and there are heads that arent' leaves (for example if you branch a new feature branch from main. The feature branch brances off of main, so main is not a leaf anymore)

The website exists since 2013, and it seems like they managed just fine.

Why not?

I feel that broad overgeneralizations like this are often just self-revelation.

This reads like you find people besides your wife attractive, but rather than recognizing this as normal and healthy, you vilify and repress it. But you see (part of) the responsibility for avoiding your thoughts with others, and expect of them to act according to your needs and wants.

The thought of people of the other gender using a toilet near you is sexual to you and you don't like that, but this is a you problem.

Also, I don't know whether your "stably married mother/father" is just heteronormative or deliberately excluding same-sex couples, but if it's the latter, your "belief" is demonstrably wrong. [1]

Let's do a search for the threshold age. I'm 26, and I'd probably do it.

We, the human race, own all windows. We can just throw stones into them. We've just been trained not to remember that.

Yes, I may be overly pendantic. This part just made me suspect that the author didn't have a technological background. That isn't bad per se, as this is mostly a legal topic.

Also, I'm not trying to "maliciously take these laws literally". The law isn't limited to cookies, so you can't get around it by using a narrow definition of the word "cookie".

Sorry, I sent my comment before it was done. It's edited now.

We’re using “cookies” as a shorthand for any technologies that can access or store information on a person’s device. This can also include beacons, pixels, scripts, and other technologies.

That is a weird use of the word "cookie". In normal usage, it doesn't mean a technology that accesses or stores the information, it is that information itself.

"Pixels" is also weird. I think that they mean tracking pixels, which are one-pixel images that are just there so that the browser has to request them from the server and the server can notice that request. They are a subclass of "Beacons". Calling them a "technology that can access or store information on a person's device" seems misleading. Also, reCaptcha wouldn't need them. They already have Javascript running on my PC, they don't need a tracking pixel to contact the server.

The profits earned from these thefts are used to finance drug trafficking

I think that drug trafficking is used to finance drug trafficking.

Why do you respond like that to valid criticism?

That's like saying that everything you build with Lego is a pirate ship: To build anything with Lego, you first need Lego bricks. And if you already have those, then you can also build a pirate ship.

Turing completeness is defined on computational models, i.e. sets of instructions that you can use to build algorihms. Not on the algorithms themselves. If you can simulate a Turing machine using only the tools that your model gives you, then it's Turing complete. That doesn't mean that everything else you build using those tools is special in any way.

As far as I know this is mostly the work of [Jennifer Daniel](https://jenniferdaniel.substack.com/p/introducing-emoji-kitc...), who is the chair of the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee and works at Google. She's great!

She did create all of the emoji mashups for the first version of emoji kitchen by herself. I don't know if she had help for the current version, which features many more emoji combinations.

Exactly.

Another everyday example is doing laundry. After I load up the washing machine, it's going to run for 2 hours. I can "multi-task" by doing something else in the meantime, which doesn't really follow the one-item-list principle from the post.

To me, things like this often feel inherently patronizing.

In many situations, I feel that "Why don't we just" is the natural choice of words. So if you don't say that, I assume that you are making a conscious effort do say something that isn't what you actually want to express.

It feels like you are tiptoing around me because you thought I couldn't handle how normal people talk.

That reminds me of saying things like "It's not you, it's me" in a breakup. We all know it's bullshit. Stop trying to protect my feelings and tell me what you actually want to say!

All of that is subjective of course.

It seems OP doesn't care about this?

Where in the post did you see a lack of dignity? To me, it didn't seem disrespectful.

I think I just found an answer to "If god is all good, all knowing and all powerful, how come there is still evil in this world?"

Maybe he would have to do something to prevent evil, but he doesn't want to play god.

What obvious risks and dangers?

I first interpreted that as "...the second walks into ducks".
