Passkeys = quicker and faster to get a user's email address.

Using passkeys doesn't give a site your email address. The site would have to still ask for your email separately.

They’re saying that an attacker would register variations of similar looking domains relying on the OCR misreading the correct URL. They aren’t suggesting that an attacker would paste the invalid URL in real life menus.

You can setup multiple pre-moves, but each one takes a minimum of 0.1 seconds. Lichess doesn't have this minimum time requirement, so it doesn't let you setup multiple pre-moves.

I much prefer Lichess' system for Bullet.

They nerf/buff cards all the time.

This is not true. It is exceedingly rare for paper cards to be nerfed or buffed. The only real notable example is with the Companion mechanic from a few years ago. Wizard's solution is to ban problematic cards.

SpinupWP makes self-hosting WordPress sites really simple. Rarely do you ever need to actually make any changes to your server. You can just give it a Digital Ocean box to connect to, and it provides a UI to create sites and manage everything.

It looks great, but I really can't see myself ditching JetBrains. The refactoring tools alone make it a better solution for me.

This is the same as any other argument against testing. Unless you are actually selling a library, code is not the product. Customers are buying results, not your code base. Yet, we've discovered the importance of testing to make sure customers get the right results without issues.

If you want your results to be usable by others, the quality of the code matters. If all you care is publishing a paper, then I guess sure it doesn't matter if anyone else can build off your work.

Whether or not that is true, this boycott doesn’t indicate that. The boycott was organized by activists, but the boycott was advertisers not purchasing ads on Facebook. The reason it had little effect on revenue was indicated in the article, while the boycott was made up of the largest advertisers in the world, they weren’t responsible for the majority of Facebook’s revenue in the first place.

Why did you take random excerpts instead of looking for the more serious allegations, one of which the parent mentioned.

"The day before Valentine’s Day, Korey decided she was going to stop the team from taking any more time off. In a series of Slack messages that began at 3AM, she said, “I know this group is hungry for career development opportunities, and in an effort to support you in developing your skills, I am going to help you learn the career skill of accountability. To hold you accountable...no more [paid time off] or [work from home] requests will be considered from the 6 of you...I hope everyone in this group appreciates the thoughtfulness I’ve put into creating this career development opportunity and that you’re all excited to operate consistently with our core values.”"

Are you saying the workers need to vote with their feet? If so, I disagree. As an employee, I'd always want to try and affect change before leaving. Leaving is the last resort. Complaining is part of trying to affect change, and is one of the "let them know you aren't going to put up with it" step. You seem to be advocating for leaving first.

How does the video host make enough money to keep afloat? A number of YouTube's controversial decisions have had been prompted, at least in part, with advertiser backlash.
