  • The C̶a̶k̶e̶ User Location is a Lie!!!

    Jump

  • Good article, apart from talking so much about choosing a language for the user and ignoring the Accept-Language header, which exists solely for this reason.

    Most websites seem to ignore this header and just show you whatever their geo-ip says.

  • The C̶a̶k̶e̶ User Location is a Lie!!!

    Jump

  • True, the article does say that

    [the local sheriff] placed a sign at the end of the driveway warning people to stay away from the house and to call him with questions.

  • The farm should put up a sign or plaque at that spot that they can point their official and vigilante visitors at.

  • French rail lines disrupted by ‘coordinated sabotage’ ahead of Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

    Jump

  • Where are you getting that from? The article you're commenting on say otherwise:

    France’s state railways company SNCF called the overnight disruption a “massive attack aimed at paralyzing the high-speed line network.”

    Similar article from The Standard

    They were focused on the TGV high speed train network which covers the whole of France, and which is particularly busy at this time of year.

    Eurostar’s Brussels-Lille-London trains are not affected.

  • Google is finally shutting down its link shortener after killing it off years ago

    Jump

  • I'm thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don't consider themselves developers.

  • Mounting home demolitions and settler attacks plunge a Palestinian village into crisis

    Jump

  • In another video [...], young settlers are seen tampering with the village’s water pipes as soldiers look on. The military said soldiers helped repair the pipe soon after.

    They just let it happen but cared enough to fix it afterwards? This is the kind of excuse I'd expect from an eight-year old.

  • Google is finally shutting down its link shortener after killing it off years ago

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be surprised if there's some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

  • Webflow says 2TB of bandwidth is worth $1,250 per month

    Jump

  • [The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

    Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

  • When I saw how low tongue was, I thought surely not, what about "she gave me a good tongue-lashing". I then thought about it for a microsecond more and realised the ranking's probably correct.

  • A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox

    Jump

  • Or perhaps we just have different opinions.

  • A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox

    Jump

  • designing something that Mozilla and Meta are simultaneously happy with is a good indicator we’ve hit the mark.

    I think that's true. I trust Mozilla, based on their statements and their actions, and I distrust Facebook for those same reasons. Compromise is the only path forward, despite those who argue we should reject anything that's not perfect.

  • ‘Frog saunas’ could save species from deadly fungal disease, study finds

    Jump

  • No ☹ When they said they chose that species because "they favoured the bricks as a habitat", I thought the frogs might just get in on their own and feel better, but that researcher then goes on to talk about bringing frogs into captivity.

  • Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide

    Jump

  • “The big challenge is to drive down the price so that products like Savor’s become affordable to the masses—either the same cost as animal fats or less. Savor has a good chance of success here, because the key steps of their fat-production process already work in other industries,” Gates said.

    Sounds like it's not currently price competitive but it might be in the future. I expect economies of scale would be helpful too.

  • If it's chemically identical, what does it matter if it's come from dairy, this process, or a Star Trek replicator?

  • Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

  • Voting on Lemmy isn't private (and is probably for sale on closed platforms) so just upvoting an opinion might be enough to get you on some lists.

  • AAAAAAA.... This is so hard!!!

  • AAAAAAA.... This is so hard!!!

    Jump

  • It should have, but I was thinking about the contents instead: loopback is ::1 so it's not that, so maybe it's just something with 4 of a-f (technically correct)

  • How long until someone makes a playable version of this? (printer toner is too expensive)

    Edit: actually, I can probably do this one in my head
