GDPR doesn't apply for entities outside EU if they aren't specifically targetting services at individuals in the EU (which can be indicated by using EU domains, supporting EU currencies, supporting EU languages or mentioning EU customers in promotional materials).

I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's unlikely that this browsewrap agreement is enforcable in United States as the website doesn't ask the user to actually consent to Terms of Service, see Nguyen v. Barnes & Noble, Inc. (763 F.3d 1171).

NixOS doesn't run Gixy anymore, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/209075.

This particular restriction is mostly arbitrary anyway because `this` and `super` accept arbitrary expressions (including static method calls), so in most cases it's possible to do this, just with much worse syntax.
Technically, this does introduce new functionality when extending a class, specifically it's possible to choose a constructor to overload depending on arguments, but in most cases there is usually one constructor that all other constructors use.

The problem with shorting cryptocurrency is that you are assuming that market is fair, when this is absolutely not the case - the market is heavily manipulated.

Paying the criminals wouldn't help here. First, there is no guarantee that they wouldn't release the data anyway, second, the data already got leaked - criminals who were responsible for it have access to it, third, they publicly posted the information they have access to it.
Instead, the proper solution is after verifying legitimacy of the leak to immediately (within 72 hours) notify supervisory authority and users about personal data breach according to Articles 33 and 34 of GDPR.

Technically Google already has per-service bans for Google Ads and YouTube. That doesn't help if you get banned for a reason unrelated to those services however.

Certificate Transparency system requires certificates issued by CAs to be publicly reported, otherwise web browsers will reject them. Publicly reported certificates then can be monitored by anyone, and anything suspicious could be reported.

For ctest to work, it's necessary to start your User-Agent string with "NX NIFM/" (the console itself sends "NX NIFM/00" as an User-Agent string).

Technically there is sarcasm tag in HTML specification, it's one of tags that is specifically handled in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#parsing-... ('An end tag whose tag name is "sarcasm"').
However, a problem with sarcasm tag is that it wouldn't really help accessibility compared to say saying "Sarcasm:" or something like "(The preceding remark was sarcastic.)".

PHP is a much simpler language which helps a lot with optimizations. For instance, consider something like property access.
In PHP, doing `$a->b` accesses field `b` of object `$a`. The implementation is essentially type check (making sure `$a` is an object) and hash table lookup. If this fails, then it calls `__get` method if it exists.
In Python on the other hand, `a.b` involves `__getattr__`, `__getattribute__`, `__mro__`, `__get__`, `__set__`, `__delete__` and `__dict__`. Here is a description of how the attribute access works: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html#overview-of-....

> Records use : in their literal form, which is overloaded with type ascription. This is also annoying in cases where you might want to move a field into a let binding.
This one is getting fixed by removing type ascription - https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3307.
