  I was still waiting for them to enable it by default…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They exempted iMessage because it’s not big in Europe. If it were as big as in the US it would’ve fallen under the DMA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - couchbase/fleece: A super-fast, compact, JSON-equivalent binary data format⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the difference between this and CBOR?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Earth-like"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To me it feels that if the planet cannot support life, then it’s not an Earth-like planet. So, the definition of Earth-like planet is broken

  But if they had authentication you would know that the message doesn’t come from a legitimate satélite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the trick was to disable web search. I don’t remember how I did it but you can Google it. Then it was really nice and fast, as it should’ve always been

  Duo (videocalling app)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I rarely fail because I look inside the connector and see where the plastic is and then plug it properly. I tend to fail when I cannot see inside the connector because it’s in a weird spot.

  I guess the redditor was either bragging about always looking inside or was a kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones should have FM radio again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not long ago I decided to buy a radio just for emergencies. I guess having it in my smartphone would be better yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But your password should never reach the server. It should be hashed already at the client and then salted at the server with a random hash. Then you store the salted hash

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But the thing is that you should never have access to the plaintext password and thus you should never be able to receive it in an email. You should store the salted hash of the password instead of the password itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, is Genshin made with Unity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Before lightning and USB-C every manufacturer had their own connector. Then the EU told the manufacturers toneither come up with a common connector or they would regulate. Then, Apple started with lighting and other manufacturers joined under micro USB B. The EU was still not happy because Apple went their own way and, after USB C came out and was good (micro USB was quite bad TBF) they forced everyone to use USB C

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but if Bush travelled to a country under the ICC jurisdiction he could still be tried. Of course the Hague invasion act (a big fuck you from USA to the ICC) may deter some countries from enforcing the ICC rules on American citizens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll just sort it myself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because when it’s sorting some of them as ints and some of them as strings. JavaScript has implicit conversion to string.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprints Lead to Price Discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is illegal in Europe as GDPR doesn’t talk about cookies but about collecting and trakcing user data and granting permission for it. So, if the user refuses the form and you still collect their browser fingerprint, then that’s illegal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprints Lead to Price Discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If clearing the cookie works, then this is not browser fingerprinting. Browser fingerprinting is about storing information about your browser (screen size, languages enabled, user agent, canvas rendering, and more) you can find whether this information is unique for your browser in amiunique.org

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  By the way, your username shows as bot to me. I think you need to disable it in your profile.
