Depending, the way I read the post, the SQLite protections just prevent crashes or malfunction, but don't prevent things like SQL injection and your app should handle that

from a LiveUSB one can probably chroot into the borked system and re/install the deleted files without manually copying

From the same forum post:

To be able to boot Linux on such PCs you need to either disable secure boot in the BIOS or you need to enable the "Allow Microsoft 3rd Party UEFI CA" option in the Security section of the BIOS.

it's not like they're blocking completely the ability to install Linux, anyone installing Linux should be able to follow those steps. Don't get me wrong I'm no Lenovo/MS fan but spreading FUD is not the way

edit: formatting

I'll echo other comments, cater your users first, don't worry about HN (unless this demographic is your userbase ofc). That said, I do block JS on mobile (FF+UBo or Bromite for the sites requiring chrome) and on desktop I go even further by using temporary containers As a web dev I've seen first hand (and being guilty sometimes) of the exessive tracking + unneeded JS bloat

it doesn't work for me. FF nightly android (if it matters: JS disabled and HTTPS mode enabled)

I wish people stopped defining their products as _Uber, but in $DOMAIN_ tbh it rubs many people the wrong way, a couple of examples: Am I as a developer going to get the same mistreatment uber riders get? Is this platform running on red numbers and betting to become a monopoly in the long run so they can be profitable once users are locked in and they set a higher price?

Having said that, the idea behind it is cool, and applying that to open source contributions would be great

Migadu is in Switzerland, I've been a customer for a few years and had pretty much no issues (The only one I remember was a delivery issue I had once), they support IMAP/SMTP/POP and although their Web isn't the most modern out there it looks OK for 2022

I'm not well versed in golang generics (at $WORK we use go, but not generics yet) but if you want type switches you'll need interface{} to do that https://go.dev/play/p/1Tn2O_7vCTQ

Which of course defeats the point of using generics

_edit: clarify that my attempt is a bad practice_

Zotero 6 4 years ago

Does anyone have some good learning resources for Zotero?

We use them not as an A/B testing tool as I saw it suggested in a comment but more like a way to have controlled rollouts of features. As our team uses trunk based development we don't have a "development" branch so everything goes to master (we have a staging env and manual judgement prior to production deployment tho)
