Copying the user agent string from the network requests tab obviously makes them a cyber security expert, didn’t you know?

+1, well worth the 10 bucks.

Last time I hit that wall on Firefox, changing my user agent worked wonders. Don’t tell anyone I told you this. ;)

Be prepared to argue with people about how they don’t hear the difference in audio quality between TeamSpeak and Discord. Take it from me, TeamSpeak wins hands-down.

Exactly. Not to mention that, even if you don’t use Facebook, instagram, or WhatsApp, your data will still be hoovered up by Meta because someone who has your contact saved in your phone will inevitably allow one of those apps to see all your contacts.

That honestly explains American litigation culture a lot better than anything I’ve ever read or watched.

Hahaha. Don’t worry, we can sue companies or people in my country just fine as well. We just tend not to do it when, say, the hotdog is missing the sauce you asked for. ;)

Fair. Though it still makes me doubt it a little bit. It is still an American woman we’re talking about. Suing is your national pastime, isn’t it?

While I find it equally stupid as you do, you mustn’t forget that the overwhelming majority of users on the internet aren’t techies like us.

No worries if you’re going fast enough. ;)

I already don’t worry about that anymore using the anti-flat tyres I have on my bike. I can just ride through a pile of broken glass without a worry.

I can imagine that spammers nowadays can write a simple script that drops everything from the + to the @, so while that may work for some spammers, others will just use your normal email address. I’ve resorted to creating a catchall for my personal domain. Also not ideal, but it’ll hopefully take them a while to figure that one out for everyone using their own domain.

It does force it, if I’m not mistaken. Rejecting all should be as easy as accepting all. The problem is with enforcement.

Interestingly enough there seem to be two types of playlists that get pushed in ads. One is a normal one with a big variety of artists. That seems the least profitable to me. The other only has songs by one “artist” that seems to only have remixes of popular songs. That’s the sketchy one, in my opinion.

I’ve been getting a lot of ads on instagram for Spotify playlists. I wonder if that has anything to do with it, because how else would you make money from a playlist of all things?

Users do. See all the people running iOS betas on their daily drivers, then complaining about a forced reset or data loss.

If it’s there (and not terrible), people will use it. Will it break even on the costs? Maybe. Maybe not. Still worth it, however.

Really uncreative, but: $myInitials-desktop $myInitials-server $myInitials-laptop

With my username being…. $myInitials. Surprising, really. Boring, but consistent. :)

There are definitely a lot of developers that are like that, but you also have the open source junkies. The latter group would go absolutely bananas.

+1 for Bitwarden, regardless of platform, and regardless of whether it ticks all your boxes or not. It’s just good.
