The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán’s regime seems to have found a challenger.

The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

Mostly a shrug. Live and let live.

Other billionaires making money might have started to be afraid to do so.

But that someone will have their own priorities that will most likely not always coindice with yours.

It’s a chilling effect, and some jobs can ask to verify your history by verifying this trail of papers.

Oh fuck me

IIUC there is a system in India to prevent people from working two jobs, which is that you need to present some paper that you get in your current job that certifies you left to get employed at the next one.

It’s ghoulish if you ask me.

Also owned by Google, so this change might make it over

The case is basically that having a non-tracking paid tier makes no difference, the free tier if it exists can’t include mandatory tracking.

So they can offer a paid tier with no tracking, but they must also offer no tracking on the free tier.

I browse Reddit only for one sub, a country-specific one that is reasonably niche. Right when the API migration happened, there seemed to be a very visible migration of Facebook/Instagram people migrating over to Reddit. Posts asking where to find Instagram/Facebook functionality came in daily, and the overall quality of both comments and posts degraded a lot, suddenly posts had a ton of comments with one word and a ton of emojis.

Do Google engineers get off on writing software that’s only compatible within their own little world, then offering it as some de facto standard?

Google Cloud had a ton of these that make it arbitrarily hard to use.

It was outsourced to the guy who ran Nazi concentration camps to build ballistic missiles to bomb London with.

Sorry you had to find out this way

So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.

That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

I do like Mull, but I’m also uninformed and I don’t use my mobile browser all too much.

It means, at least in the golang world, that they keep a copy of your source for themselves and use it for builds. They don’t pull from the public repo every time they build their stuff, so malicious code could only get in with new versions, but they check for that.

I think the main criticism was not that they are bad, but that they are a different genre from 1-2.

I liked 3 and 4, but I like 1-2 as well, with Wasteland 3 abd ATOM being great games to scratch that itch in modern times.
