I’m waiting for the Gemini people to (re-)discover HTML 3.2 or 4.0. Maybe this then becomes a slightly bigger movement as all current browsers should support it and there are plenty much smaller/more efficient browsers available from back in the time.
> German law gives businesses unusually broad grounds to challenge online reviews as defamatory. Unlike defamation standards in many other jurisdictions, which typically require proof of deliberate falsehood, German law includes provisions covering what is sometimes described as "malicious gossip" - where the burden of proof shifts to the person who wrote the review. A reviewer may need to demonstrate that their account was factually accurate rather than the business proving it was false.
> According to Google's legal help documentation, businesses can simply claim they have no record of a transaction with the reviewer, and unless evidence to the contrary exists, courts have generally ordered platforms to remove the review. The documentation states that the "not-a-customer" argument is the basis for the majority of defamation removal requests Google receives in Germany.
> The structural asymmetry is significant. A business filing a defamation complaint through Google's notice-and-action mechanism faces minimal friction - the process involves completing a form and selecting the appropriate legal grounds. The reviewer, by contrast, must respond within a defined timeframe or risk losing their review by default. According to prior reporting by PPC Land, if the reviewer does not respond within the given window, the review is removed regardless of its factual accuracy.
I've had my Fenix 5 Plus swapped once during warranty because of this. And the replacement's contacts started to corrode again when I sold the watch. It might not happen to all models, but some are very prone to it.
Magic Earth is 10+ years old by now. Only recently they've introduced a (very reasonable, I think) Premium subscription to cover their costs. I guess the live traffic data is bound to some licenses so they can't just "upstream" that.
> The intent of DST is to normalize variations in the time of sunrise between summer and winter.
The intent of DST was to conserve energy by moving daylight into the evening hours. However, it turned out that people need light in the morning, too, and that DST had no effect on overall energy usage.
So, why not end this failed experiment and return to how it was before?
And please let's go with standard time, i.e. where the sun is at its highest point around the 12:00 o'clock mark.
Office hours are a lame excuse as most modern jobs - especially those of people on this site - surely allow flexible time. And even if not, every company is free to adjust office hours during the year - as it's already done in e.g. Turkey since they got rid of DST. Same with school hours, store opening hours, etc. - I'm pretty sure they will adjust where needed.
If you like disturbing your sleep cycle twice a year so much, feel free to change the wakeup time on your alarm clock whenever you wish.
(If it weren’t such a hassle with date changes, I'd vote for world-wide UTC, btw. And I'd love some unified decimal date/time system even more.)
Back during my Palm Pilot days I’ve discovered the FITALY layout - optimised for pen input and one-finger typing. But it should work similarly efficient for swiping as the goal was to minimise travel between letters (in the English language).
You should try Windows 7, then. Boots in no time at all, feels EXTREMELY snappy, and nowadays, there are UEFI loaders and a thing called VxKex-NEXT which adds the few new API calls Windows 10 introduced and thus makes W7 run many W10-only apps.
Most of the people that want to rejoin the EU never realised that Brexit happened at the same time as COVID and they believe that all the bad things that happened since were due to Brexit and Brexit only. All the while ignoring that most EU countries are not that much better off. Just look at the GDP growth.
Running ComfyUI and some ImageGenAI and realising how you can use it to generate anything from any aspect of pr0n and various fetishes to making up fake news about basically anything. And real enough to convince the masses.
I'm using Strongbox (uses a KeePass-compatible database) which integrates into Apple's AutoFill API and appears automatically in all input fields - just like Keychain. No extension needed.
What’s even better is that thing with memberships here in the UK. While the single admission price for these “touristy” sites might appear quite steep, usually for not much more (and sometimes even without paying extra) you can become a “member” for a year and return as many times as you wish. This removes the pressure of “making the entrance fee worth it” and made several attractions much more enjoyable for us. Often, it even allows free entry into partner venues.
