Uhm, yes? Kill codes are dumb. Use a dead man’s switch instead. If you don’t enter the code it self destructs. Now that’s privacy!
Whenever someone brings this up, someone also brings up the fact that ads are proven to work in general not on everyone. So I guess it’s my turn today.
It’ll just get ignored. I saw a fucking padding: 0.0.3rem
at work today, and it just broke the one class.
Only if you have the appropriate level of privacy settings enabled (and extensions installed) in your browser. Your IP address actually has very little to do with ID-ing you, since most trackers will use hundreds of different fingerprinting methods to create “shadow accounts” of you using things like your system information, screen resolution, installed locales, etc.
This doesn’t mean a VPN doesn’t help, though. Just pointing-out that you probably won’t be asked if you’re a bot if you go on Google while logged-in to a Google account, regardless of whether your VPN is on or not.
Disclaimer: This is speculation, because I haven’t read the actual law (and I’m not Italian, so it’s not like I really have a reason to).
I would assume that they will handle it like this:
To be able to sell your VPN service in Italy, you’ll have to get accredited. Since you’re now taking Italian customers’ money, your company’s dealings in Italy fall under Italian law. They might be able to extradite you, depending on what country you operate from, but realistically most businesses don’t want to get involved in that kind of stuff, because even if you don’t get extradited, no one wants to be put in a situation where they need to actively avoid a country.
This leaves free VPN services, right? Well, since ISP and “legal” VPNs need to conform to the new law, the Italian government could blacklist those VPNs’ websites (which all ISPs and legal VPNs are required by law to block within 30 minutes of them being added to the block list). So now, you’re in an awkward position as an Italian if you want to get a VPN that doesn’t follow those laws.
I’m not sure at what extent this law goes, or how they handle people who are paying to circumvent it (because you might have bought a VPN before this), but they might simply require that banks refuse to process payments from VPN providers that refuse to get accredited.
Obviously, they can’t really block this thing without going the Great Firewall route (and even that has ways of being bypassed), but that’s not really their goal here. Their goal is to establish a stranglehold on what the everyday citizen does. It’s to put a framework in place that allows them to quickly and efficiently block content they deem you shouldn’t be able to see. It’s a disgusting display of a government overreaching and censoring what their citizens’ have access to on the web.
I’ve had an RPI3 running for 7+ years (currently running Home Assistant on it). Still uses the original SD card that shipped with it, too. These things are durable and reliable as hell, as far as I’m concerned.
A document detailing technical requirements of Italy’s Piracy Shield anti-piracy system confirms that ISPs are not alone in being required to block pirate IPTV services. All VPN and open DNS services must also comply with blocking orders, including through accreditation to the Piracy Shield platform.
According to the article, it requires them to get accreditation to operate in in Italy, unless I’m reading that wrong.
Most corporate VPN companies I’ve dealt with would love to slip in additional cost to counteract this cost on their end.
Reading the article: A ruling body filled with randos puts a site on a block list and every VPN operating in Italy must block the site within 30 minutes. There is no review or judicial oversight to sites added to the block list. This seems to include all forms of VPNs, including corporate ones. They could start charging a premium to Italian users which would start affecting businesses, I guess.
It’s not that we want to ignore warnings.
Speak for yourself, I promise you the team I work on actively ignores warnings and doesn’t even want to solve them as they pop-up. Being told you can’t compare doubles (because of precision loss) and ignoring it is on the developer and isn’t even that hard to fix. Most of our warnings come from shit like that.
Like, I get it. It’s probably not worth it to hunt down every “unused variable” warning (especially in an API where we used to have a variable for it and we don’t use it anymore and we don’t want to break the existing API so we just leave it there), but there’s things that are just trivial to fix when you’re working on code that’s right next to it.
Oh yeah, I’m genuinely about to hand-in my resignation as soon as I find another job over this kind of shit. I keep being told that the business is really trying to clean-up its act when it comes to coding practices, but they keep putting some of the most incompetent people I’ve ever worked with in charge of shit (because they do promotions based on years of experience instead of actual actionable experience). It’s awful.
First thing I do on my projects is enable warnings as errors and increase my warning levels when reasonable.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said on the projects I work on at work. Drives me crazy that we get likes 300+ warnings whenever we run the app and that we can’t change it because "they’re just warnings*.

motherfuckingwebsite is pretty old at this point. I remember seeing it on Reddit like 10 years ago. Parallax was all the rage back then, when we called “hero” images “jumbotrons” (because Bootstrap called it that, I think?)
how about the Rusty Lake games? They’re weird.
And they’re also linked. It’s a really cool rabbit hole to go down. Definitely recommend them to people who are into games with some meta elements to them!
My dad accidentally bought 2 chargers a few weeks ago. He tried refunding it, and what do you know, the company fired their support staff and replaced them with chat bot AIs. Anyway, the AI looked at his order and helpfully told him he had already returned the product and it had already been refunded so there was nothing left to do.
It kept doing this to him every time he tried to return the second charger, and there wasn’t any other way to contact them on their site, so he ended-up leaving a 1-star review on their site complaining about the issue. Then an actual person contacted him to get it sorted-out.
This whole AI trend is so fucking stupid.
You don’t have to save your files to Adobe cloud, if that’s what you mean. It does check for a valid license occasionally, but I’ve used Photoshop when my internet was out without any problems in the past.
