May be you need to change your name to something unique like Ackfknetce. That will be cheaper.

It looks like it will be a good idea to name a baby after those databases are checked so that he/she is less likely have a problem in the future.

Let me guess, he was living in his home address and he was employed. He had no visits by police but when he tried to leave the country no one was bothered who he really was but they were bothered that a not so much friendly UI message has appeared on the screen.

Anti wind farm rethoric is common among pro-Russian politicians in Bulgaria too.

I agree with you. The next steps should be to disable the internet nationwide like North Korea. People have no idea how much bad things are there. Also I don't like fun things.

Just tested with Firefox 149 on Android 13. There are no coordinates when I upload an image to EXIF viewer web sites.

When I say that Microsoft writes very bad code some people get offended. For example for Azure Event Hubs they have almost no documentation and Java libraries that mostly do not run.

Why Microsoft is obsessed with accounts? Azure's managed identity for this for that drives me crazy. An integration that could be done in few hours takes more than a week. No proper documentation, buggy libraries, made up, non-standard behaviors, uhhhh...

What brands or types of memory cards are less likely to crash by bitflips?

I don't use passkeys because I am scared that I will not be able to recover my account with my email address.

darkhorn — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:35:19 +0000

1700s English is like 1200s Turkish. It looks like English has evolved very much. 1500s English is kind of underdtandable for me but 1400s English is not underdtandable.

I think $300B is about everything. Pension funds, investment, military spending etc.

The glasses are due to eye redness.

AI is cheap and works 90% of the time. Loosing some creators is no problem for YouTube.

When we have a competitor only then it will be a problem for YouTube.

I think the most proper thing for the jet should be to destroy itself. In a war enviornment I would not like my enemy to gain intel about my military jets.

This was 2 years ago; compression in Azure Front Door works only when you enable caching in Azure Front Door. This is made up rule by Microsoft. It is not standard.

Also I was compressing my responses in my back-end but Azure Front Door was decompressing them. Why?!!!

Microsoft's softwares do not follow standards thus they hard to work with.

> I don’t know when this became the norm, to be honest I have not used a normal graphical file manager in a long time.

If I remember correctly Windows 98 was sorting alphabetically. Then Windows XP strted to take numbers into consideration.
