sweet stop

I think you mean sweet spot. Now I’m wondering if it’s a typo or an eggcorn.

Ah yeah, missed that 🤦‍♂️

Because this is the internet, I can’t tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder…

It’s far from my field, so I’ll have to take your word on that!

[Making cracks visible is] helpful, but what would be ideal is a way to not just find the cracks, but to fix them.

That’s what the article says, they’re hardly implying it’s nonsense. Or are you saying that the self-healing is nonsense? There are examples of self-healing materials, like Roman concrete.

I don’t know that I agree - it’s worth researching these things because if it works that’s great and that paper proves that other people are working on the visibility problem.

Nope, it’s still great on Windows. Perhaps they went to Linux since it’s still Windows-only.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

[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.

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.

Fixes catastrophic data loss, er, bug, er poorly documented feature… user error

Gotta love the Register

At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
