Friendly reminder that Tidal costs the same, has a bigger catalog, does not pester you with podcasts, has lossless quality audio and it includes lyrics

I generally like the spirit of the DMA and the DSA, but the age verification policy is utterly garbage. Privacy and age verification are mutually exclusive

GUYS, IT'S HAPPENING

Yes, it looks like a dumb question, but hear me out.

I've recently discovered that, for babies, it's normal to sleep in sleeping bags. They can either look like this (not great, with the arms out) or... - prepare for what you're about to see - like this.

Now - how awesome must that feel? Naturally, my fist instinct was to look up sleeping bags like that for grownups. Unfortunately, they apparently do not exist. I can only find the usual sleeping bags that are used for camping etc., which are all made of that horrible, plasticky, noisy material.

So my question is twofold: do "home sleeping bags" for adults exist? And, if not, WHY?

THANK YOU. This behavior has been bothering me since it was introduced but I thought there was no solution

Friendly reminder: Mozilla studied 25 car brands and NONE of them passed the privacy test. Mozilla even said that cars are "privacy nightmares".

If people still use it that way, it should be in the dictionary. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive

Then read the article and not just the headline. There are various examples of why that's happening.

There’s a canning recipe that’s been allowed to stay up despite the potential to make people sick. A moderator with zero 3D-printing experience joined as a “joke” to replace a mod whose expertise included identifying functional gun printing recipes. A new home automation moderator insists expert knowledge is unnecessary in a subreddit where bad advice can lead to electrocution or compromised cybersecurity.

Your examples are just funny, but when (good) journalists write "could", it means that they have analyzed something and they are predicting its outcome based on the data they have collected. It's not like they're just making stuff up

Another reason to avoid gender reveal parties, I guess

I'm a longtime This Week in Tech listener and I've realized that downloading the new episode every Monday morning has become a habit I could never imagine quitting.

As I was thinking about that, I've started wondering which other tech podcasts are people listening to, and if that's second nature for them, too.

So, what's your favorite technology podcast? (And why should I start listening to it? I would love some recommendations!)

Speaking more than one language. Being from Switzerland, we're required to study 2 languages (+ our native one) at school. So it's not infrequent to encounter swiss people who speak 4+ languages

I've been using AdGuard's DNS resolver on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app). You just put dns.adguard-dns.com in your "private DNS" settings and that's it.

Recently, though, I've seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or "kinda shady". What's your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I'd be interested to know more about them.

Cool, but the article is from July 24th

I know you're kinda joking, but I think there is some truth to that. I think he made the decision because he could not manage the whole thing alone, and the workplace environment Madison described could well be caused by general stress and mismanagement

What the Archive did may as well be illegal, but the fact that the record labels did not even bother to send them a Cease & desist letter, instead suing directly for 400$M, tells you everything you need to know about the record industry
