Meanwhile, .tech exists and is not country-specific but is far less popular for some reason.

Simple answer: length.

Two chars look a lot better than something with more chars, and all two chars TLD are ccTLDs.

Yepp, and no one really listens to the others, just trying to remember what you did and make sure no one dumps more work on you.

Only issue I see is that the 8 chars required is very short and easy to brute force. You would hope that people would go for the recommended instead, but doubt it.

Re: Downvote bots. I can’t say they’re necessarily bots, but my instance has scripts that flag accounts that exclusively give out downvotes and then bans them. That’s about the best I can do, at present, to counter those for my users.

It is usually not a good idea to specify what your exact metrics are for a ban. A bad actor could see that and then get around it by randomly upvoting something every now and then.

There is also the risk of homograph attacks. The link below is for domain name encoding via IDN, but the same applies to usernames. You could easily impersonate another user by having chars that look similar.

Sure, but even if they started tomorrow it would probably be years before it even could be considered experimental outside of the most daring early adaptors.

Having a combability layer is not ideal but it would mean they could have something worker for more users faster and at the same time see which modules/drivers they should focus on.

Sometimes they can be challenging or overgrown, so you have to know what you’re doing and be prepared to turn back if necessary, but I owe a lot of truly incredible experiences to this app.

Since it uses OpenStreetMap you should consider updating it for others later. Don’t think you can do it in Organic, but it can be as simple as in a browser adding a note to a trail about what state it is in.

Approximately at 2024-08-09 09:30 MFA had been removed for all users due to a mistake when MFA was intended to be reset for an individual user.

An UPDATE without a WHERE?

And ethernet port!

…and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won’t work

Online discussions tend to be very polarising.

Nothing special about this topic, but something you should always keep in mind about any topic.

Recruiters can’t see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

“Thread closed due to inactivity.”

No, the main point of standing desk is that whoever has one talks about them all day, every day. At least, that was my experience 10-15 years ago, which was the last time I spent in an office.

Subscription based teeth?

And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn’t boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well

That is still source code, obfuscated but still source code.

Counting in lines of code is the most stupid metric.

It works quite fine, use it daily. Well, XMMS2 to be pedantic.

Just some shellscripts bound to windows-keys to pause/play and load new files.

The question is whether x86 is even relevant anymore

Also RISC-V, though that is probably a few years away at least.
