look at the vga connector again. it has a little icon on it that looks like a usbc slot

i haven’t used wired headphones since a few years before jacks went away, and i have never missed that effing cable

the rule exists on a higher plane

Did you miss the words “dark pattern”? it is a term for when companies misuse/abuse UX principles to trick people into acting against their own best interests. In this case, the bold “click me” looking button in the screenshots means “yes daddy, spank me and then sell my data to your friends”, which is the option that most people who see that box won’t want to click.

Unfortunately, a large swath of the general population are trained in their brains to “click ok to make it go away”. These UX decisions take advantage of those people.

Assumedly, the grayed out box will also not dismiss the banner, but instead lead to a more complicated experience where you then are forced to drill down into complicated options to decide which of the cookies to set, which will be confusing if you didn’t open the link at top in a new tab to cross reference which of the 27 data brokers “Technology Partners” to decide which.

It’s not UX, it’s abusive UI and the very definition of malicious compliance to EU regulations.

that still contradicts pictrs breaking the thumbnail

you like kissing commons don’t you

now we need a programmer version of 196 called c/0xC4

i always hated that the us version of this show felt like they needed to say this explicitly, that was one of the best things about the british version is that the points were a cute little joke that didn’t need to be spelled out

i mean the toilet keeps exploding, how’s anyone gonna keep the floor clean in those circumstances

and now the theme is stuck in my head

only bus and bus only mean the same thing, read it whatever way you want, they’re both grammatically valid

having is less annoying way of not doing needless/bug-prone repetition. if you select someCalculatedValue(someInput) as lol you can add having lol > 42 in mysql, whereas without (ie in pgsql) you’d need to do where someCalculatedValue(someInput) > 42, and make sure changes to that call stay in sync despite how far apart they are in a complex sql statement.

and yet, walked into a waterfall in a game yesterday and yup, there’s somethin in here

most languages have some first or third party lib that implements a query builder
