Protip on Firefox is to head into about:config and toggle dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to False.

This will prevent all websites detecting clipboard events and it defeats a lot of the annoying website behavior without needing to disable javascript entirely.

The only things it may break is if you legitimately do use any web apps that need to detect clipboard events; but, I have yet to run into anything.

> or if you have ever done so

Do you not think that most people who have stopped using animal products have not already come to the conclusion that what they did was (direct or indirect) killing and they deemed it as immoral? Using this argument in an animal ethics debate is ineffective at best.

This is the same argument used for meat production and is questionable. Would you really care that your murderer treated you well before killing you? Or would you feel even more betrayed?

This pig would have lived a very short and probably isolated life (to isolate from pathogens). No matter how well it was treated in life it was still forcibly operated on and/or killed at the end.

That's the same as slurring at someone in a language they don't know. They don't understand what you meant so it doesn't matter right?

The point is not the animal's comprehension of the term but the implication that the animal gave consent to have their organs harvested by saying "donor". If you argue that the pig cannot understand English so can't be offended the same applies that they can't understand English so cannot give affirmative consent.

Exactly.

I work in cyber security and I am more convinced by the day that the answer is not having the data to steal rather than attempting to mitigate every possible threat.

This combined with zero trust and 2fa/passkeys will go much further than many other snake oil solutions the industry loves.

> Once you’ve got them, even if you’re more established, it would be crazy to leave them off of your resume, right?

For sure include them if they are relevant to the role or show real commitment to a topic. If you see a string of disperate certs though it's easy to assume the applicant doesn't know what they want to do.

Not saying I would discount someone on this alone but it would raise questions for the interview if they were otherwise qualified.

Also very interested in this one. I do some casual locksport but would love to be able to legitimately carry tools and help out friends and colleagues.

Oh no.... I think we have very different definitions of fun. I haven't touched UML since uni and I'm glad to keep it that way.

That's really interesting. I have used gather.town for conferences before and it works really well - but I haven't seen it used on an ongoing basis. It does make sense in a lot of ways to incorporate some of those physical cues of an office environment into a WFH setting.

Should 100% demand a work supplied device for work. Or at worst buy a cheap second Android to use as a work device. There is no circumstance where using your main personal device for work is a good idea.

It is probably literally because it is so under the radar that it hasnt been shut down.

All that stuff works fine. I think what they are talking about is following a user on another instance which is still a little clunky sometimes just because of the inherent nature of the domain where you view their profile and click follow being a different domain to where your account resides. I generally just search for the user and click follow on my instance to avoid the redirection steps.

I love this. I am always on the lookout for material written by individuals; but, it's surprisingly hard on the modern web.

Tbh I'll probably use the random bit more than search but definitely going to keep checking back to pad my RSS feeds with interesting content.

Depends what field you are in but generally later in your career you have more responsibility and requirement to spend more mental energy on work that you could have otherwise put towards looking after a kid.

If you are only expected to show up for your 7.5 hours and wack out a handful of lines of code a day you have way more mental and time capacity for family.

If they are seriously concerned about the debt of MIT undergrad I don't think suggesting they go into further debt on a risky venture like a startup while still an undergrad is brilliant advice.
