TLDR: use a nullable pointer instead of fields in nested structs to save memory.

AWS has deletion protection for databases, and you have to make a separate call to disable it first. Deletion is rejected if you don’t disable that protection.

Agreed. The post reflects that they were running an AI agent in YOLO mode in an unsandboxed environment with access to production credentials.

It doesn’t even seem to have crossed their minds that this behaviour is the real root cause. It’s everybody else’s fault.

Cmd as a “main” modifier?

Ok typical X/Wayland setups, Cmd is already the main modifier for DE features, while Ctrl is the modifier used at an application level.

There would be a lot of weird overlap with changing that.

> while Ctrl is the modifier used at an application level.

DE features don't matter at all outside of cmd-tab and whatever the equivalent of spotlight is. The application level is the main modifier, and changing them all to cmd is essentially impossible at this point. A detail Haiku got just about perfect, I think.

Either way, ctrl as a gui modifier is a dealbreaker for me. It also breaks the use of readline keybindings for text entry.

In theory the browser integration shouldn’t leak anything beyond the credentials being used, even if compromised.

When you use autofill, the native application will prompt to disclose credentials to the extension. At that point, only those credentials go over the wire. Others remain inaccessible to the extension.

The new additions to `git add -p` seem pretty neat. Staging changes with `-p` is seriously underrated!

I think you're referring to things like tracking pixels, whereas the author was likely referring to _actual_ email read receipts, where the sender can request a read receipt, and the receiver's MUA will prompt them to send one.

Yes, same feature, different implementations.

Libraries often have publicly usable terminals with Internet access. That's not the case in Germany?

Not everywhere is a library. Today I visited the main city library of Bremen, and it has only media search terminals in kiosk mode. But there is of course free Wi-Fi, so if you have a smartphone, there should be no problem. There are also some libraries with open access 24/7 using a membership card.

Cities have a lot of free wi-fi locations, but outside of urban areas you would need some kind of mobile or landline rate. The latter has relatively cheap flatrates (as little as 20€ including phone flatrate). Mobile access can be much cheaper, but then if your traffic volume is emptied you only get 64 kbit/s.

> the EU needs to apologize for those damned cookie popups

The EU didn’t make these mandatory. They’re a form of malicious compliance, executed so that the common perception is that these laws are there to get in the way of regular folks.

Most websites shouldn’t require cookie pop-up. They do because they’re spying on you in some way and need to notify you of that.
