What I noticed right away was: It's the ugliest hello world ever. It's the slowest hello world ever. (For a long time it was also the record size hello world at something like 64MB, but that's later and on a compiler.) And it doesn't actually run on any platform except one: jre. And most binaries you find only run on one version of that one brand of jre.

Still, not the worst thing for writing web services in in late 90s. Doesn't matter how slow it starts or how much space it takes. Responding to requests, being familiar to new programmers and living in a sandbox was enough.

Any sufficiently advanced technology does. It's nice to have tools, whether they're ready baked ones or there's some assembly required. The latter tends to be more adaptable, but using what's in reach is smart.

Swedish Resident Banana Alien. Why not just go all the way?

When they make the bread worse and raise prices to increase their profit margin. And show some ads to make extra profit. And start to pester you with more service tiers and subscriptions before they give you the bread because they'll be able to scam some people into giving them another revenue stream...

Internet archive has been seriously endangered for a long time now. They were even attacked a while ago. The wayback machine is still not fully functional.

It's one of the greatest existing libraries of information and culture in existence. Consider donating, if you can.

I remember a story and pictures where there was a party of some sort and at some point during the night people decided to go get food. Maybe the handiest place was a drive through our maybe it was just one of those ideas, but a fairly considerable number decided to go walk to the nearby drive through. There was a picture of them, in a long single file lined up along the lane.

If she had, we wouldn't be in this timeline.

That's probably true for most people.

Rinkeby.

(Joking, of course. Stockholm is nice.)

There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.

Yes, unless your only metric is fuel consumption or range with a given tank. Then they're pretty strong.

Only 70% going out the tailpipe.

 

GDPR rights are being ignored. In practice, this leads to a situation where Microsoft is trying to contractually dump most of its legal responsibilities under the GDPR on schools that provide Microsoft 365 Education services to their pupils or students.

Trying to find out exactly what privacy policies or documents apply to the use of Microsoft 365 Education is an expedition in itself. There is a serious lack of transparency, forcing users and schools to navigate a maze of privacy policies, documents, terms and contracts that all seem to apply. The information provided in these documents is always slightly different, but consistently vague about what actually happens to children’s data when they use Microsoft 365 Education services.

Maartje de Graaf, data protection lawyer at noyb: “Microsoft provides such vague information that even a qualified lawyer can’t fully understand how the company processes personal data in Microsoft 365 Education. It is almost impossible for children or their parents to uncover the extent of Microsoft’s data collection.”

Felix Mikolasch, data protection lawyer at noyb: “Our analysis of the data flows is very worrying. Microsoft 365 Education appears to track users regardless of their age. This practice is likely to affect hundreds of thousands of pupils and students in the EU and EEA. Authorities should finally step up and effectively enforce the rights of minors.”

As the terms and conditions and the privacy documentation of Microsoft 365 Education are uniform for the EU/EEA, all children living in these countries are exposed to the same violations of their GDPR rights. Therefore, noyb also suggests that the authority should impose a fine on Microsoft.
