Is it not an ID because of that? I don’t see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it’s hardly universal.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

So you’re saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter’s end? Eh, fair enough.

If you do something illegal, you should be arrested.

Copyright infringement lawsuits are a far cry from bomb threats or the like.

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.

Good idea for those who are covered by the GDPR. Doesn’t help me, though.

Don’t regret too much. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit’s “delete” function was really just "move to the “suckers-wanted-to-delete-this” file.

then there really is no hope for this world.

I don’t know how to tell you this, but…

I get the same white background on Windows, Chromium and Firefox. Checking settings, I see FF is set to “Automatic” light/dark mode. When I manually select Dark mode, I see the dark background.

I disagree. I think it’s more helplessness than apathy.

I don’t approve of all the spying, but I don’t “own” any congress critters, so what can I do? I can’t even opt out of the spying by cancelling my Internet plan and smashing my phone – there’s still tracking through CCTV, face recognition, license plate scanners, etc. I’d have to move to some remote middle of nowhere and live as a subsistence farmer – and even on the way there, I’d be thoroughly tracked. There’s no escape, it’s like we’re all in a giant digital cage.

I just hope they actually have their social security card. A quick googling told me that you need a current ID to get the social security administration to issue a replacement card. Talk about a vicious cycle!

Bad phrasing. I read your previous comment as demanding an explanation from me for why the author wrote an article about simple design rather than about user testing.

Honestly, I don’t think the article would have been well-served by detouring into user testing. It’s long enough as it is, and again – NN group has written a LOT on the topic.

I’m not really sure why you brought it up in the first place. It seems like ‘beating a dead horse’ territory.

Why are you asking me? I didn’t write the article.

It’s not the point of this article. NN group talks a lot about user testing in other articles, IIRC.

Whoosh!

I’m on board as soon as we verify that Putin has completely disarmed.

I see some of that in my job. We put encrypted data in settings files, and the keys for decryption are provided on the VMs where we deploy. The developers never actually see the keys.

I suppose it’s as secure as the process for managing the production VMs, assuming the encryption isn’t just md5!

Hmm, that makes me think we could adopt a tiered pricing system for things like water. The first 100 gallons are priced at 10 cents each, then usage beyond that goes up to 50 cents each?

You could tweak the rates & threshold to make more sense – I don’t know water rates off the top of my head, and that probably varies by orders of magnitude across the entire U.S. Also, I have no idea what water usage rates look like for different types of properties. A sports stadium, an office building, an aluminum processing plant, and a SFH with a rain garden will all have really different water usage details.

All this is kind of hinting at a broader “environmental impact” measure. That gets super complicated, though.

In that case, I suggest the block feature. I use it liberally, and it makes Lemmy so much better.
