Does GDPR mandate a payout to the researcher after disclosure?

And also taught people how to actually look for information online. The average person still does not know how to google, I still see people writing whole sentences in the search bar.

Interesting, I wanted to do this for a personal use case (mostly learning), but with PDFs. What's tech stack? I have explored using the AWS AI tools, but it seems a bit overkill for what I want it to do.

There's a bunch more to "autofilling". 1Password has ability to generate new passwords, save new registrations, autofill MFA codes, and even read QR codes on screen to setup MFA. None of this is possible on Firefox with Keychain.

I really hope that there's a way to integrate the new passwords app into browsers other than Safari. The only reason I'm still with 1Password is because of their Firefox extension for auto fill.

Wouldn't it be easier to just decide on a UI library to be used for the project and use that instead?

I hope you actually read those articles, because 2 of them are saying Al Jazeera is biased towards Israel - hence why the ban, and not what you are trying to prove.

>the Middle-Eastern unit were literally showing videos demanding further uprising against Israel across the region directly from Hamas

I am failing to see how an article about Russia's war correlates to OP's claim about Al Jazeera showing Hamas videos calling for an uprising. Can we get a direct link to the article that the OP mentioned?

For me it was creating “gift card code generator” for games like Habbo Hotel and RuneScape in C# and distribute it among my friends to get into their accounts. 14 year old me was proud of my “hacking” skills.

I am in Israel at the moment, and the sheer amount of racism and prejudice I've seen towards the Palestinians is unlike anything I've seen or read before. I am not surprised they are resisting the apartheid state. If I was a little Palestinian child witnessing this atrocity, I would also be resisting in whatever "group" I could be apart of. Calling this terrorism is unjustified in my opinion.

Everything you said in your comment has been debunked. IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ. They then moved onto another hospital claiming that was the correct HQ, then that turned out to not be true as well.

Regarding ceasefire, Israel has broken a total of 17 ceasefires in the past. Ranging from assassinations to straight up bombing civilians during ceasefire period.

I don't understand your reasoning with "they do roof knocks, and tell people to evacuate, so it's all good when civilian areas get demolished and children die, that's war!"

Israel has done nothing but lie since the beginning of this genocide.

This is all happening alongside the blatant terrorism happening in the West Bank with the settlers. You can't seriously defend a nation when the leader is openly saying "wipe them all out - all of them."

I don't know if this was the case before, but yesterday I asked a question, and it thunk for a while before answering: "Based on the title of this video, it may answer your question", then provided a link to a YouTube video. The video did not answer my question.

I would say a combination of lifestyle and mental aspects. I do enjoy programming still, just not everything else that comes with it. Agile, meetings, business requirement documents, more meetings...

Something I have had trouble with is finding purpose - I work at a government agency, and I feel my work means next to nothing (for various reasons I can't get into).

I did manual labor for a while during university, and the sedentary nature of my current job may be contributing to my decreased interest to carry on with it.

Firefighting looks like something I'd love to do.

I came to the realization that software engineering was not what I wanted to do - about 4 years ago. 6 years into my career now. I still do it because I have bills to pay. I sometimes wonder how many others are in my shoes.

They are very much liked by people who are interested in their wealth. Which I think is the wrong reason to "like" someone for.

Not sure about the "bad pointing devices" thing.

I have a very nice Logitech mouse and keyboard setup, but still prefer to use the Macbook touchpad while connected to an external display. They're just perfect in every sense.

Good construction relative to what is available. I will take a Macbook with a sharp edge over a dell laptop where the screen frame is falling apart, the hinge is non existent, and the trackpad is useless. If you go out to find faults in Macbooks, you'll find them, just not as many as the alternative.
