JRaccoon

As someone living in a green country, could someone explain how things work in practice in the yellow or orange countries? I understand that in places like Russia or China, journalists can end up in prison, or worse, if the government doesn’t like their writing. But how exactly is the press not free in countries like Canada or most European nations that are labeled yellow here?

And why is the US labeled orange? As far as I know, the media there is highly politically polarized, with most major news organizations openly supporting a particular agenda. That’s certainly a serious issue and not how the press should operate, but even Trump’s government isn’t actively limiting the freedom of the press to report on issues like they see fit? Or am I mistaken? I’m genuinely asking.

I think most guesses in this thread are a bit on the low side. I say $48.50.

They can include runnable JavaScript too, which can cause vulnerabilities in certain contexts. One example from work some years back: We had a web app where users could upload files, and certain users could view files uploaded by others. They had the option to download the file or, if it was a file type that the browser could display (like an image or a PDF), the site would display it directly on the page.

To prevent any XSS (scripts from user-provided files), we served all files with the CSP sandbox header, which prevents any scripts from running. However, at the time, that header broke some features of the video player on certain browsers (I think in Safari, at least), so we had to serve some file types without the header. Mistakenly, we also included image files in the exclusion, as everyone through image files couldn’t contain scripts. But the MIME type for SVG files is image/svg+xml… It was very embarrassing to have such a simple XSS vuln flagged in a security audit.

I don’t have an answer for you, but I can absolutely relate. Some people say something like “find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” But for me, it doesn’t work that way. I like my job, have awesome coworkers, and always look forward to the next week. But obviously I’d still rather be doing things I enjoy more. You know, playing that latest video game, finally finishing the Lego set I bought three months ago, hanging out with friends, etc. Two days out of seven just isn’t enough time to do all that, which leads to anxiety about optimizing the little time I have.

One thing that has helped me somewhat (and I know I’m very privileged to be able to do this) is taking every other Friday off. A two-day weekend versus a three-day weekend makes a huge difference for me. I’m actually considering switching to having every Friday off. But then ofc, there might be the dilemma of having the time to do the things I enjoy but not enough money for them :(

I use the vanilla FF but with this theme applied:

For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.

Personally I’ve only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven’t tried any others.

Yeah I get that, but why return that information in the HTTP response?

with the motion largely serving to get Democrats on the record as voting against a bill being framed as anti-infanticide

Democrats have routinely criticized “born-alive” bills as being redundant because killing an infant who was born alive following an attempted abortion is already illegal.

tl;dr: The bill would actually change nothing and it’s all political games.

Interesting read. One thing I don’t fully get is why does Cloudflare have the airport code in the response headers anyway? I cannot think of a single reason to have it in the response.

It will be funny as hell if out of all possible things it’s TikTok that starts this round of GOP infighting.

I would imagine the flight recorders keep recording as long as there’s any power left in the aircraft. So if there was a bird strike as they suspect, and if that caused a dual engine failure, the recorders should still work, right? So there has to be more to the story than a simple bird strike.

I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there’s two competing devices next to each other, one marked with “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”, which no one understands, and other one with “USB 20Gbps” I think the latter will sell more.

I remember reading from somewhere that according to family he was very eager to get to vote one more time and to cast his vote for Harris. So glad he got the chance to do that before going, even though the result wasn’t what he probably was hoping for.

Google Tasks. Does not have all the features of other apps but does everything I need and was preinstalled

Nokia E71 with the full QWERTY keyboard. Loved it, even though the keys were too small to comfortable use. I guess technically speaking that’s still a smartphone so before that I had some Samsung flip phone, can’t remember the exact model

Good luck, because last time they tried to replace the Start menu with a new UI went so well…

A robot vacuum. Just a cheap no-brand one and it’s by no means perfect but does actually help with day-to-day cleaning. Meaning I can get away manually vacuuming way less often.

Empire of the Ants by Bernard Werber

This was the book that got me to stop hating books.

I didn’t like reading as a child or teenager until I was forced to read this one for a mandatory book report in high school and really, really liked it. I don’t know why, I don’t even remember that much about the book, but it got me interested in science fiction and reading in general.
