<p>Cookie control always should have been a browser control. The legal route always should have been to force it to be built into browsers that provide sane defaults, and make it illegal to circumvent what the browser declares as far as fingerprinting etc.<p>any sort of elevation prompt, IF I allow them to be popups or an icon in a toolbar, should always be in the same place and not cover the page.</p>

<p>>4-6 500mg tablets within a 24 hour period<p>On top of that daily use brings it down to 3-5, preferably 4 or less of those a day.  And they last less than 6 hours.<p>The 8h extended release is 650mg a tablet, and you can have 3-4 a day daily.  And if you have any experience taking them you can feel the first half of the extended dose wear off before the extended one kicks in, which leads to basically NEEDING 4 a day, and staggered start times.</p>

<p>All these projects should seamlessly run a fork in parallel that accepts AI and has AI for review and approval.  Both camps are happy.<p>Basically a play sandbox for contributors to not get jaded. A honeypot to contain the verbosity vomit, while also serving as positive public relations by keeping young contributor morale from starting in the basement.<p>Everyone has been that person once early in their life who is told they aren’t welcome and never comes back.  Maybe it was SourceForge or IRC, maybe it was Wikipedia.</p>

<p>I’d almost say the opposite.<p>For a simple website it’s overkill.<p>For a serious website there’s not much else that has the extensibility.  Woocommerce is nearly unrivaled.  There isn’t another ecosystem like it. I would think this community would lean towards the open source leaning products to the shopifys.</p>

<p>Ive figured as much. Possibly also some kind of security too so games dont get disassembled and modded or have textures removed for parts?</p>

<p>definitely a lot of misinformation from the get go, from not needing masks, to waring masks to protect oneself (vs protecting others), to most of the scientific world needing to redefine airborn because of a bad assumption that permeated all of literature.<p>I remember VERY early on in the covid timeline, I believe it was in germany, a study came out that said it wasnt surviving on surfaces, and we still oversanitized for eons instead of focusing on not breathing each others air.</p>

<p>J&J was not an mRNA vaccine either.  the J&J vaccine gave further evidence that mRNA vaccines are the safer path.<p>it was blood clotting issues.</p>

<p>and even if the maybes are yes, it's still a debate whether an accident negates taking future risk.  eg does a nuclear meltdown lead to no new nuclear power plants?<p>a lab leak doesnt in and of itself prove that gain of function research isnt worth further pursuit, if better care can be taken.  there is clearly risk/reward calculations, and not everyone will agree what risk in a pool of risks is worse.</p>

<p>There's a lot of AAA games I havent tried, but why are the launch day patches Ive experienced so gigantic?<p>Why do games need to download textures, sounds, videos over again?  I just can't understand why a 100GB game has a 60GB patch etc, other than purposeful obfuscation or complete disregard for care.</p>

<p>The killer feature here is an auto assembling todo list, punchlist, project management.<p>Discussing what needs to be done next, and having it automatically sort it into what subtask it is, if it applies or is blocking to multiple other tasks.  Recording specifications, measurements, dimensions.  Being able to ask other people facts and have them correctly documented into the right task.<p>Company Brain / Knowledgebase is imho more rear facing, whereas todo is future facing.</p>
