Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node

I’m not super familiar with the rules regarding this, but I think that even if your holiday ends on Friday, the following Saturday gets automatically counted. So no, that wouldn’t work. Additionally, many workplaces have rules in place requiring you to use at least a certain number of your paid vacation days uninterrupted.

Obviously, the whole thing is super dumb and a historical relic from the time when Saturday was a normal workday.

I think you misunderstood. Let me give a real-life example: My colleague and I both get 30 days of paid leave per year, but we work in different roles and I happen to be under a bit better union agreement where Saturdays don’t count. Let’s assume we both take all of our leave in one go:

I’m away from the office for 6 weeks (6 x 5 days = 30 days).
My friend is only away for 5 weeks (5 x 6 days = 30 days) because Saturdays are counted as part of his holiday, even tho he never works on Saturdays.

I think in most countries there are different nuances when it comes to annual leave, which makes the numbers incomparable. For example, there are differences in whether weekends are counted as part of annual leave, even if the person doesn’t normally work weekends. Where I live, Saturday is usually counted as part of your leave unless a union agreement says otherwise.

The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don’t think the plugin would work very well these days.

I don’t really get what you’re saying. JS doesn’t throw on out-of-bounds array access and instead returns undefined, even in Strict mode. Obviously TypeScript needs to match the actual behavior with the typing.

const arr = [];
arr[5]; // undefined

Android wants to automatically add a “.” to the end of a sentence if I double space too fast

If using GBoard, that can be disabled in settings. I don’t know anyone who actually uses that feature, I don’t know why it’s enabled by default.

One of the reasons why videos don’t work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

The management at work is always pestering me about how we could improve our developers’ performance… :3
Obviously the company would need to invest in some new hardware first. Or maybe BYOD would be better in this case…

Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn’t good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn’t realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. “daisy.jpg”. Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.

You should post this to me_irl

Procrastinating

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

No. I remember the account creation being pretty convoluted tho, requiring confirming email and phone number and setting up security questions (like it’s 2005, not 2025)

I had Pixel 4a, then 6a and now 8a. I got the $50 cash rebate for 4a and apparently they’re offering $100 for 6a. Basically free money as I’m not affected by the issue as I don’t use the old devices anymore. But it probably won’t take long until some battery issue in 8a is announced too…

I think it’s pretty weird.
