IANAL so please don't take my word for it. But if I understood it correctly, this is indeed legal. You don't have to offer your stuff for free. And as long as you let the user decide if they want to pay with money or with data, it's legal. The important part is, that the user needs to give consent, which is the case here. Not talking about the morality of it though.

Every car I owned so far was a manual and only rentals were sometimes automatic. But that's purely due to cost. I dive out of necessity, not for fun and an automatic is so much more relaxing in stop-and-go rush hour traffic than a manual stick shift.

I need to look it up again, but I read about a study that showed that the results improve if you tell the AI that your job depends on it or similar drastic things. It's kinda weird.

Does anyone have resources for ADHD friendly clean-up techniques? And I don't mean cleaning-up like in "removing dirt" but how to sort your stuff? My main chaos exists because I don't know where to put everything.

Thank you again for this great post!

I'm a little skeptical about Manjaro on the ZOTAC. I used it for quite some time on a PC but it was always just a matter of time until it broke due to version conflicts. Developers for AUR packagages assume that you're using the main Arch repo. So when you use the Manjaro repo, which is always a few weeks behind the official Arch one, the AUR updates break pretty regularly. Though you probably don't want to use the AUR on a handheld anyway.

I'd hope so too, but as there are so few platforms offering proper support for hardware keys, I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

What you call "much smaller mini edition" is still more extensive and thorough than 99% of posts on this platform :D and I really enjoy and appreciate it!

That and also typing on a wet touch screen doesn't work that well

Thank you again for this high quality post! It's always a pleasure to read.

I'm happy that GOG finally added proper F2A, though I'm a little sad that they didn't implement FIDO U2F. It's not only way more convenient to just use a hardware token as a second factor, but if my knowledge is correct, it's also more secure.

I seriously thought about getting a waterproof notepad for that reason

Du könntest dir mal Processing ansehen. Das ist eine grafische Bibliothek, die in einer IDE gebundled ist. Man programmiert das ganze in einer Java-ähnlichen Sprache. Ich habs selbst noch nie benutzt, aber hatte in der Vergangenheit schon mal Videos vom YouTuber CodeBullet gesehen und er benutzt das um seine Mini-Games zu erstellen. Das sah eigentlich recht gut und intuitiv zu benutzen aus.

I see your point, but we have Java backends and strings there are not null terminated. Also I'm very sure that those would never be the reason for our Postgres server to run out of storage so I don't get it why not make it more user friendly. We're not implenting an embedded system where every byte of storage counts.

It can also be just a randomly chosen limit. I work as a software engineer on a custom management software for a big client. For whatever reason until recently, the limit for email addresses in the master data was 50 character. Why? No clue but someone had decided that randomly in the past. Now it was increased to 100. Why again? According to RFC 5321 a limit of 254 would be the most sensible one. But the people who come up with those requirements just don't care. They decided it to be 100 from now on for no apparent reason.

Then we have many input fields, that have a limit of 255 character. Why not 256? Why such a weird number in general? The people who use this software in production are most likely not the ones who usually think in powers of two. So why not make it 250 or 300 oder whatever?

Sometimes those limits are just arbitrary with no technical or logical reason to back them up. Which doesn't make it less stupid mind you.

If someone uses hashtags in posts or comments, they are interpreted as headline. Here's a screenshot and a link of an example:

My suggestion would be to only parse it as a headline, if between the # and the next word is a whitespace. I've seen it that way in other markdown parsers and I think that works well.
