My browser auto-declines cookies so I also had the same thought. On reloading I can briefly see a pop-over with a lot of text in it before it disappears, so I guess that is the cookie game I initially missed.


And next to impossible to get rid of. I would much rather use Signal but convincing even privacy-conscious people to switch is an uphill battle.


I find a lot of people (including myself) had a pretty bad experience with Signal years ago, and it has put them off using it today.


Signal is quite good these days for what it is worth. My whole family switched and hasn’t missed whatsapp. That said I am still stuck on whatsapp, it is basically the only messaging app people use in a lot of the world and used by a ton of businesses.


Maybe once the ads start showing on Whatsapp it gets easier to convince people to switch.


Convenience and habit will trump the annoyance of having to see adverts.


There are ads on Viber and people aren’t convinced to switch to Whatsapp either.


Microsoft documentation is a nightmare, it doesn't surprise me there are vulnerabilities.

I recently built an SSO login using Entra ID (which was thankfully single-tenant) and I basically had to keep randomly stabbing in the dark until I got it to work with the correct scopes and extra fields returned with the access token.

Trying to search for any kind of Getting started guide just took me to child pages several levels deep full of incomprehensible Microsoft jargon and hyperlinks to helpful-sounding but ultimately similarly useless articles.


I find this consistent across the Microsoft ecosystem. I thought maybe Copilot would have an edge, but it’s just as lost as us (which i guess makes sense..)


I'm pretty sure what you're describing is the fact that Microsoft return Graph scopes by default when you request a token, I agree it is very annoying and only really documented if you read between the lines...


If you never wash your sheets, you never have to fold them.


Basically what Collections do in Laravel.


Exactly... similar in Symfony.

While converting arrays to collection-object is a suitable option that does work, it would feel much more "native", if there were extension methods for Iterable / Traversable.


Agreed. Like in JS and Java, it would be a lot nicer if the language itself had the chainable methods.


Fairphone guarantees 8 years of updates for the Fairphone 5.


From looking at their website, that is 8 years of software updates. Not 8 years of Android version updates. Apple has released security updates for 10 year old devices such as iOS 12.5.7 which released in 2023 and runs on iPhone 5s.


FP5 owner here. IIRC, this is a guarantee for security updates at least, yes. There was some promise on how many major android updates they guarantee I think, but I forgot the details. I also wonder if and how far the promised minimum will be exceeded.

That said, I am just glad Fairphones are usually relatively well covered by open source versions of android and other operating systems. Even if I may need another phone for banking apps and all that annoying stuff in 2030 or so, I can at least safely re-use it for other purposes. My "old" Android is now nothing more than an offline mp3 player, which is kinda sad.


Not to diminish Fairphone's accomplishments here, but beginning in 2025, the EU mandates five years of software updates for all phones sold in the EU.


I've tried VS Code and Haystack (based on VS Code) for writing PHP and I just couldn't stand it after having used PhpStorm. Basic things like copying variables, indenting, moving lines into if statements, multiple cursors etc. just aren't intuitive in VS Code when writing PHP and a lot of the things I can do in PhpStorm with the press of a button just aren't possible.

I really hope they move PhpStorm to the same payment model as Rider so I can also use it for my own non-work projects.


Slightly similar bug in DuckDuckGo on Android, unmuting causes the video to buffer again but it then pauses itself and there's no way to unpause it.


Honestly, it's not a bad article. I'd not heard of OWASP Juice Shop and now I'm interested to check it out. The article also prompted me to look into how user input sanitising works in the framework I use. So all in all I'd say it's a positive addition to the internet.


Paper is environmentally expensive to produce and recycle. If it's worse than plastic is surely debatable but it's definitely not significantly better.

but paper that ends up in the environment is almost surely better
