Just a green background and some text on Firefox.

Or it's more that people recognize that this isn't a "Zero-Click RCE" and we're tired of people trying to claim that every damn bug is a huge security risk.

If an attacker can already either modify the existing shortcuts.xml file or convince me to download and run a .lnk file that links to a different one they managed to get onto my computer then they don't need to use Notepad++ to do their dirty work.

I have the opposite problem. I often have to ask ChatGPT about things related to Norway and I have to constantly correct it when it keeps switching to responding in Norwegian no matter how many times I tell it to only answer in Norwegian when I request it.

A good lawyer can probably make the case that the profiles you view if tracked is your data that you are allowed to see under GDPR. But claiming that knowing who views you is part of GDPR seems like a big stretch.

Better for them to focus on the companies that don't allow you to opt out of what should be considered optional tracking without paying them.

Yeah, no, that's an insane claim to make. Obviously American education covers some information about religion in history classes, but that level of detail about catholic history is not normal curriculum for elementary, middle, or high school.

No. Trump represented what seemed like a solution to just enough people who were willing to change their votes from one party to another, and didn't represent enough of a threat to most of the people who might have been swayed to switch their vote away from the Republican party.

The issue with voters choosing more right-wing populist parties is not unique to the US.

I don't. Instead Facebook tries to shove right-wing crap down my throat. I'd rather see the thirst trap posts, to be honest.

Snapchat, on the other hand, I had to uninstall because the stuff they tried to make me view was completely and utterly disgusting (think pimple-popping vids and worse). There was only one person left that I communicated with through their app, so it wasn't a real loss for me.

Honestly, I guess it's a fine article for someone who isn't very technical, but it provides very little real detail, and this wasn't an example of DNS breaking anything - it worked as designed.

The biggest pain of DNS for most people is if someone has set the TTL to an absurdly large number, or if a resolver isn't respecting TTL. And once you get into advanced configurations, SOAs and delegation certainly create their own headaches!

No, why would it? When I take the bus, subway, or train, nobody is checking IDs - at most they check if I have a valid ticket, which can be bought with cash.

I've flown many times within the EU/EEA without showing an ID, so I fail to see why traveling within the US should be any different. I've spent most of my life in the US, but the only times I've been in close proximity of terrorist events have been in Norway (Breivik's bomb went off two blocks away from where I worked at the time, and more recently the shooting outside London Pub that killed two and injured multiple others).

I wish I understood why the US feels the need to overreact to everything.

Plenty of people have an ID in the US, the issue is whether or not those IDs are considered valid to get past security in the airport.

Did you know that Norway only introduced a national ID card in 2020? Until then if you didn't have a driver's license the only other state-issued ID option was a passport, and 10% of Norwegians don't have one. Until around 2015 or so banks would issue your bank card with a photo and your birthdate on it, and that was used as a de facto ID.

I've flown between plenty of EEA countries without ever having to show an ID. The requirement to have one in the US is incredibly stupid and only serves to make it harder for decent people to travel. It provides no actual value to safety.

Thank you! I can't understand posting Twitter links when there's an actual source of information!

I'm guessing you quit after the small value toll exemption was removed?

That's plausible, but I'd expect the UEFI patches to come from a vendor, not Microsoft. So if one came from Qualcomm, and they didn't properly specify the devices it should be installed on, that wouldn't make it Microsoft's fault.

Sure you do.

So, as an example, then, you would be ok with someone putting up billboards with your picture calling for you to be executed? I mean, you have to be accepting of an opinion you disagree with, right? Otherwise you're arguing in bad faith and showing that there is a line you feel can't or shouldn't be crossed.

You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts. And there's no reputable research to back up your claims. Your religious beliefs are not enough to make something true.

I can say that the data you're sharing suggests it's just as likely that the drop in numbers that your site claims started sometime between 2023 and 2024 are due to people becoming more afraid to identify as such due to Republican attempts to restrict LGBT rights and make life miserable for anyone who doesn't identify as straight

Which is perfectly fine for China, but no western government or company who hopes to do business with them will consider this, and for good reason.

It's not going to be a valid alternative in the west - certainly not something any government would even consider.

How much inflation has there been since the last price increase? From 2022 to 2025 it look likes like about 11%, so not all that different if you're trying to keep a round number.

That's an overly broad generalization. Shower curtains are pretty common in Norway, and I've found them in hotels all over Europe and even one in Japan.

How many WordPress sites even need this? I have several running and none of them use anywhere close to enough bandwidth that I have to worry about it.

Sure, I could get a server at home, but then I have to figure out how to make it quiet enough that I don't notice it while keeping it from overheating - something that's hard enough to do with the equipment I already have. And then I have to worry about what happens if somebody decides to have fun trying to DDOS something on my home connection. Again, easier to rent a dedicated server so I don't have to worry about it.

Sorry, but nobody chose you as the arbiter of terminology. You can call your option home-hosting if you'd like, but we'll keep considering our scenarios to be self-hosting.

There is always going to be a point of failure. For many of us, self-hosting on a dedicated server, VPS, or some sort of cloud service is much better than keeping the hardware to do it at home.

My stuff is spread out among a dedicated server and 3 VPS's. --I could and should drop one of the VPS's, but if it'll take me a couple of hours, it's just not worth it until I actually have the time to spare.

If I self-host at home and my internet connection goes down so I can't access anything remotely, then I'm still SOL until I can get home. And millions of people are stuck with crappy upload speeds that make plenty of services that they may want to self-host nonviable if they care about being able to access it from anywhere.

Yes, words have meaning, but most of us will happily disagree with your definition of self-hosting.

No, but I haven't seen Windows ask multiple times a day either. But iOS does try to get me to turn on iCloud every time the phone reboots and somewhat randomly without rebooting.

I was in Portland less than a month ago and had no problems. Sure, there was one time I crossed the street to avoid someone who was clearly homeless and mentally ill, but I never found myself feeling unsafe.

Unfortunately homelessness is something that can't be solved by one city or even one state. Feeding, housing, and getting them treatment is expensive and not something even the wealthier cities have the budget to do on their own. And the first major city that tries will have to deal with other places dropping more homeless people on their doorstep - that's one thing that both red and blue cities have been guilty of as you can read about at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/...

It really isn't when many cities have apps that give you real-time information as to when to expect the next bus.

The problem is that proper studies on this topic will take years to really understand the positives and negatives of having the majority of your employees working remotely. --Researchers need to be able to track people through their careers to understand whether or not WFH is a net benefit to them and/or their companies.

So you're really going to have to deal with only hearing what people think.

RTO is trending for many reasons - some are doing this for bad reasons, I'm sure, but I also know that some managers are pushing for this because they a) see that junior developers aren't getting the necessary mentoring to help them develop and grow into seniors, and b) because they feel that people are spending more time on tasks because they're less likely to reach out if they have to ping people, wait for a response, and try to work through things without benefits like being able to draw on a whiteboard and such. --Maybe some companies are handling this better than others, but they are valid concerns.
