Isn't this comment AI? The writing screams ChatGPT to me.

Please no, cookie banners are annoying enough.

It's called being transfinancial. You feel like a rich person but are born in the body of a poor one.
Re:Young adults are struggling with their mental health on Saturday December 31, 2022 @03:03AM (#34194575)
Everyone in my friend group is between 20-26, and for the guys it’s mostly been dealing with their self image. Their careers aren’t what they thought it would be, and most struggle with trying to get to some ideal body standard.

For the girls, it’s even worse. Most of them have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, probably due to the constant influence of people they see online.

So in a nutshell, the aspiration to be the same as “everyone else”, which eventually disappoints when they realise that what they want is unobtainable without drugs, surgery, luck or other extraordinary measures.

I use Adguard as a replacement for uBlock Origin on Safari, which works well!

Lily58 Pro with 65g Zealios. Got a set of steel bottom plates and wooden top ones that make it feel really premium!
What's the deal with Google removing features, without warning, from their products that a part of their userbase still uses? They own the largest analytics platform on the planet, why go against the experience most users are used to?

Very true, just wanted to paint a picture on how this could be abused.

Are they not? I would've thought that with Apple advertising privacy and security they would at least encrypt iCloud uploads.

A vulnerability by itself is not that dangerous, but in combination with a sophisticated attack, or another vulnerability can be disastrous. State actors have the resources to exploit a number of unknown bugs in combination with this collision to have Apple's systems flag persons of interest.

This, combined with human error during the manual review process might result in someone getting reported. Seeing as twitter (and other social media sites) jump on the bandwagon whenever someone gets accused of being a pedophile, this might destroy someones life.

The entire story might seem a bit to far fetched, but based on past events, you never know how bad something 'simple' as a hash collision can be.

Re:Designing Synced Blocks on Sunday July 18, 2021 @05:57PM (#27877046)
We did 1.5 years ago, and to be honest, it's been a mixed bag. Large workspaces become pretty slow, but it's nice to have everything in a single place (docs, onboarding, issues etc). The only thing I really miss is the jira auto issue closing feature when merging a PR. Besides that it's been decent, though the slowdowns and slow search can be a pain.
