Yeah... I think that one of the biggest "gotchas" with the web3 crowd is misunderstanding different levels of decentralization. Is it architectural decentralization? Institutional decentralization? Geographical decentralization? etc

The GDPR does not enforce the use of cookie banners. Cookie banners is an IAB idea. My suspicion is that they were created to make people angry at GDPR, but they have nothing to do with GDPR.

On most website that I've analyzed (and it's quite a lot - into hundreds), you can remove the cookie banner and the website would be just as GDPR (in)compliant as with the cookie banner.

Concurrency, concurrency, concurrency.

And scripting with JS/TypeScript. Kind of like emacs-ng attempted (https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng/)

Why would you need to re log-in into streaming services in a hotel? How does AVP alleviate that need?

Do you mean you watch it on a smart TV in a hotel? Then I guess you could connect a laptop to that TV with an HDMI cable and not have to re-log in, right?

Correct, I don't have to log into the streaming service on the TV. HDMI + Laptop would do this too if I traveled with a laptop and HDMI cable.

I suspect Nintendo sees upscaling od existing switch games as competition, because they plan Switch 2's major selling point to be playing the old games in higher res/fps. Just a hunch. It would explain a lot, including the fact that they keep pumping new games for the seemingly EOL switch

> If a site does comply with the notice and consent requirements, it is not legally required to provide the service if a user declines tracking cookies.

That's simply not true. In order for consent to be valid under GDPR, the service should operate normally if you decline tracing cookies. Otherwise it's considered a "forced consent" and is not valid.

I guess it's to prevent scrapping, but good luck people who depend on a11y tools... :(

And you can't log in using a password manager

Ok so here's a linux question that's been bugging me for years.

I sometimes `less` to display/paginate a streaming stdout from another program. When I press `END` key on the keyboard, it brings me to the bottom of the stream, the latest data it has.

Then it says "Waiting for data... (^X or interrupt to abort)"

I want it to stop waiting for data and let me scroll up as it usually does when it's not waiting for data.

I've tried pressing Control+X and Control+C, but it just closes less immediately instead of just interrupting the wait for new data.

What do I press to make it stop waiting for data, not just close itself?

This would particularly useful for browsing `journalctl` output

Not sure how well that can scale. You'd have to provide more energy per square meter of land than the sun does, it seems?

Thanks! Do you perhaps know of any records of Apple's insistence in this matter?
