Yeah that one messes me up as well. Who of these birthed the cat? Who of these did the cat birth?

Anything from the inventor of the AK-47 regretting the deaths good invention caused and how it doesn't line up with his Orthodox beliefs, to the guy who decided that two slashes should follow an internet protocol saying it wasn't necessary; what a list!

Listening to a track 10x means Spotify says it's worth max $0.05, $0.035 goes to not-Spotify, and a fraction again of that goes to the actual artists rather than the publishers...

So either millions of people listen to a track dozens of times or it's not really worth being on Spotify except for the reachability, right?

Your local computer shop, most likely. If it's run by some old guy with a soldering shop hosting his website on his own little server in the back room of the shop they're probably the best, speaking from experience here (NL)

As for the Netherlands, tweakers .com tweakers.net their price watch has a decent database of competing prizes across Dutch web shops, even smaller ones!
To anyone reading this, please let me know if there's websites like this for other European countries!

I can speak for Nord's client sending requests to Google for some reason, maybe not great for privacy thus not great for piracy either.

I can speak well of Mullvad, but advise against sending hundreds of bucks in one go as paper mail is not exactly well secured. There's another VPN that happily accepts cash as payment and doesn't need your info but I can't find it atm...

Dumb answer: Just use a VPN, my guy.

This one does not spark joy.

That's just the difference between compiled and interpreted.

Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.

We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!

Man, that's amazing!

You're right, I must've copied the links incorrectly, I just fixed them.

oh no not the zanussi

Yeah, but to be fair I happily use Bandcamp even though it's from the US.

Checking their profile, they do seem to be a furry, yeah!

Xubuntu is Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop, after all ;-)

Now if only there's one for off-by-one errors!

Ah but... Nobody uses that! Because then you wouldn't choose JSON

They are owned by the American Block Inc., so that's something to consider.

XML can validate itself and there's the self-documenting WSDL; so while it has more overhead and an ugly syntax it can make for a more stable and earlier to understand API for your API's consumers.

It's fine in PHP, so that catches most server backends.

Ruby as well, it even raises a warning about the string where a bool should be!

Python handles it just fine, as well.

Rust doesn't allow it, depending on the backend framework and server software this might give issues.

The same goes for C# .NET

So depending on how this is handled a C# or Rust backend might cause the name not to be stored, but then I'd expect nothing to be stored... :/
