I’d orefer a title to summarize the article so that I know whether it’s worth my time investment to actually read it at all. Now, I’m put if by the blayant cliff hanger at the end of the title.

The headline is omitting a vital part of the article, namely the “one ingredient”. You have to read the artivke to finish the title, which can be a definition of clickbait.

Stop with the clickbait please.

Yes, also, Morpheus might not have known what the true purpose of the Matrix was. He was just doing his best. He’s not the one after all.

- Comment on EU Chat Control: Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED 2 months ago:
Yes I agree. I suspect they were tricked by some higher ups in EU to put the bill forwards as being a socialist idea, selling it to a wider crowd.

Weirdly, social democrat Ylva Johansson proposed the first chat control bill.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the right in this case.

I think this game is not for you then.Harfd games are hard so that you can feelproufd of yourself after completing something hardet than you though you could. You may not complete the story but if you “git gud” you may actually enjoy it more.
Some games are not meant to be relaxing. Why would you even play a hard game if you want something easy?
I’m very provoced by this. Sorry.

You are not addressing my critique of your statement, just piling on a bunch of useless extra knowledge just so that you can feel superior.

The point with digital transfers is that you round it back to either 0 or 1, hoping that no bits are distorted enough to have any loss at all.

In Sweden, all the major banks joinef together and created BankId. It id now pretty much a monopoly on id verification. Even some government agencies use it, which is problematic for multiplr reasons.

The only way to log into my bank on the website is to use the phone two factor authentication app, which only works with Google Play Services… 💩

The problem with that is that insurance companies would gladly interpret that as tampering of the vehicle, voiding your insurance and which will really fuck you up in case of an accident.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 4 months ago:
Indeed. If he changed the license to allow packaging the new version, at least all of those reports would be of the current version rather than the last GPL one.
Let the community in and use their time to contribute rather than locking it down as a one man project and then complaining about it.

No, but the app will inevitably have bad reviews on Android because it will not be as good - both technically and in yerms of “customer service”.
FOSS can’t usually compete with big tech in this area and it is one of the biggest drawbacks to FOSS in general. You are on your own.
- Comment on ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds 4 months ago:
Good points! Keeping to the norm is very important for readability.
I do disagree with the performance bit though. Again, there will probably be no difference at all in the performance because the redundant code is removed before (or during [e.g. JIT optimizations]) execution.
- Comment on ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds 4 months ago:
Regarding the “bad code”. It’s more readable though to keep the full limit for each elif case, which is most often way more important than performance, especially since than logic with the age can be easily optimized by any good compiler or runtime.
