Crazy how something legal and that should stay legal is easily restricted to use through big company own initiative to limit it and evil politicians bending innocuous laws and regulation bodies to block legal content that they don't like.
Honestly I hate so much infinite scroll. It is a nightmare to see it spread like that.
Before you would easily go to see pages at random far positions. With infinite scroll there is this frustration of not reaching a bottom and after a few times scrolling and waiting for data to load, you give up, and never go past the fifty or hundred last entries at most.
Even worse is the back button. Scroll any store and click on an item on page 10 of infinity and then use the back button. Back to page 1 you go. That’s why I open everything in a new tab pretty much by default.
Or you click things on some form, it changes query params in the url (that's fine), but then it turns out each change created a new history item, and to actually navigate back to the previous page you need to click Back 300 times >:(
In a single given website, accepting cookies look innocuous.
But to me, what is mind blowing, is when one day you accept the cookies on random e-commerce or review website about vacuum cleaner, and then later when you browse news or look at videos, there is suddenly a constant stream of advertisement for vacuum cleaners, everywhere.
Privacy policies and usage terms are like the magic wand of the industry. Whatever totally bad they want to do and however they want to abuse of you and of your data, they just have to add a few unreadable lines in a 40 pages document and that's it.
No one will read it, but even if you do, most of the time the FOMO or sunk cost fallacy effect will make you go on anyway.
And then it is a free pass for them.
I'm not to fire people usually but this long report shows that there are probably too many persons too well paid with nothing to do at Cloud flare.
Because that is a lot of energy spent too have done advance research for an UI that is basic (just a checkbox), not particularly great and common before and after cloudflare...
And a personal rant, I don't understand how they can be proud of themselves when you see the wasted time and energy supported by users to browse the pages that are being Cloudflare.
Imagine this billions of "click-wait" uselessely done by users everyday worldwide
Not specifically for the Mac light, but nowadays I find it very annoying that everything as a small led light for sleep or just indicate power, or power plugged.
At night it is very hard to have a dark room to sleep in small apartments or bedrooms when you have so many of them. Tv sleep lights, set top box, computers sleep and power plugged lights, small electronic devices and appliances like the one displaying time. Power multipliers that often have a safety power on light, ...
It blows my mind that nowadays, some random tools on internet tells you to do "curl -fsSL https://.... | bash" to install some "binary" things and a lot of people will do it without hesitation.
It probably explains why there is so many data leaks recently but it is like we did a 20 years jump back in time in terms of security in just a few years.
I get the hesitation :D But the code is open and the install.sh is as minimal as it gets tbh. Still, as said, I get the hesitation. What a time to be alive.
It does not install binaries, it builds the binary by checking out the project basically. You can also do the process manually and use the tool.
One day folks who live inside commandlines and TUIs all day will realize that there's nothing particular about webapps or the sandboxes that they execute in that requires we build exclusively graphical runtimes around them, instead of taking advantage of the same security and distribution model for programs accessible and usable from within terminal emulator.
How else are you going to get your openclaw to run blazingly fast??
But seriously, I think there's a bit of overzealousness/misalignment in security lately with a disregard for usability and privacy, making people less tolerant of dealing with inconveniences.
> Not adding the domain to Google Search Console immediately. I don't need their analytics and wasn't really planning on having any content on the domain, so I thought, why bother? Big, big mistake.
That should be enough to trigger an antitrust case against Google and a split of its activities. When despite unrelated, it becomes the gatekeeper of your presence in internet.
A registrar using Google's signal to deactivate your service isn't Google's fault.
Safe Browsing itself has an appeal process so I think legally they're covered. Users and governments surely appreciate someone filtering bad actors online, even if casualties don't.
It is the moment like that where it looks obvious for third parties to use it and only it to vet customers. To the point where you are forced to deal with Google because parties "can't do anything about it".
The moment that 80%+ users go to internet through their browser but at the same time control which we site can be accessed with their safe list.
The moment that you need to create an account and start using their services and accept their terms and conditions to be removed from wrongfully added "list" impacting someone.
