I also hate YouTube Shorts. Just put them out on another website.

Luckily I use uBlock Origin and ReVanced, and I blocked all Shorts from even appearing.

Also from Italy itself.

> It did in every other country that did it

Italy has mandatory KYC for all mobile numbers, and scam/spam calls are a common problem. So no, it doesn't fix the problem at all.

Italy had forced KYC for all mobile numbers at least since the early 2000's and no, it doesn't fix the spam/scam calls problem at all.

The crazy thing is that a simple 9-digit number (that you must give away for many things) can ruin your life if it gets public.

The US seems so backwards at times.

They currently don't check that at the gate. They just look if it's on a phone or not.

Yeah but that's general advice, you shouldn't also do that with PayPal, or while paying abroad. ALWAYS pay in the local currency, never in your own.

Yes this kind of article makes me lose trust in Fastmail

Yeah, it's just a simplified explanation of what SPF, DKIM and DMARC are. Nothing new.

I'm just sad that Intel MacBooks will be stuck with Tahoe, which is essentialy a botched beta for Golden Gate.

Bad customer experience for a company like Apple.

Good job AI, after we managed to almost fix SQL injections everywhere, you made them come back!

I feel like Bun is even faster than yarn, but I'm afraid to keep using Bun since they made AI rewrite it completely in another language

I did the same, my Intel MacBook Pro will stick to macOS 15 forever. I won't update to Tahoe which is clearly a botched beta with no further updates.

It doesn't make any sense for a macOS user to migrate to Windows. Linux is the closest you can get and it's better than Windows anyway.

Moodle is also pretty garbage-y if I may say so.

Also, it's not even a backup. If your files are only on OneDrive (which is the default "storage save" setting), good luck recovering them if they break into your account.

>shared out of some personal space that doesn't belong anywhere

Do you care explaining this better?

(moreover, to this day I still can't understand the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive -- if there's any)

The whole OneDrive ecosystem is scary as hell.

I don't want to imagine how much mess they have in their backend, given that most Microsoft 365 products rely on SharePoint in one way or another. And then, sometimes you get a "peek" of what's happening behind the scenes (spurious folders, random files appearing, hidden libraries, etc...).

That's exactly what I wrote in my comment above. You need to install Proton Mail Bridge. But it only works if you're on a paid plan.
