After "dialing" 01189998819991197253 on the OP website and your's, I can say this one was easier and consequently faster to input the number correctly.


Interestingly enough I didn't even notice it until reading your comment. Looks like I have a "butt" to "cloud" translator in my brain.


I know I have one, that's why I never notice when the extension is on (I have it installed in Chrome, but I spend half of the browsing time on Firefox these days).


Until you have someone double-clicking on browser links (and other things) because that's how you open stuff in a computer, as I've seen multiple less-experienced people doing it.


I actually added protections in some of our internal software against that recently.

People (professionals with a lot of experience) would open orders or product sheets twice (two new tabs) and it created issues. So now, you can't double click.

Once you click something, it is disabled for a few seconds.

I still hear double clicks, but now it doesn't create any bugs.


well, I always found it a hassle to select texts in web documents for that reason. want to search a word in a hyperlinked headline? meh, the browser decides to open the link. even worse on touch enabled devices. double clicking stuff to open it does make sense, especially if they are more than just buttons.


Alt + select is a standard now in all major browsers.


This is like showing fire to a caveman. Holy crap. I wish Firefox had a tooltip when I'm "dragging" links to say "Hey, I bet you're trying to select!"


Well today I learned something. Thank you !


I had a Machine Learning class last semester and one thing that I found really useful which isn't really done in any of my other classes was that the lectures were recorded and uploaded to YouTube. This allowed me to look at the given slides and essentially "relive" the entire lecture at my own pace, since there were parts that I'd understood quite well the first time I heard it, but other complex parts needed a few pausing and rewind to better understand what was being taught.


I read it as based/headquartered in the European Union.


If I am still able to see it afterwards, I think we have different definitions of "permanent and irrevocably deleted".


Thankfully we also invented rubbish bins to dispose of stuff instead of throwing it down our pipes.


The same thing happens here in Portugal since 2015. The fact that the block orders don't even go through a court first makes it even worst.


>Let them go to voat, it was specifically founded for the alt-right [...]

Except it wasn't. It simply experienced more and more waves of users from banned subreddits (which were mainly alt-right related ones) coming in and eventually making an hard right turn on the main website culture, driving out most existing center/left users. It did serve me as a lesson on what external influences can do to existing communities tho.
