This is a just a thought, FWIW. I'm not volunteering to implement it. ;) If there was a way of indicating what you've actually read, poor Tsaukpaetra would not have to like everything. I think it would be of value to the rest of us also. The existing forum software makes a valiant attempt to bring you to the last read item in a forum, but it's difficult for it to figure out where you were when you respond to replies, etc.
Discourse, of course, needs no such button, because it remembers the read status of every single post and I have not ever experienced it making a mistake on that front.
I recommend you go to meta.d and tell them you love their product and are trying to get your favourite site,
what.thedailywtf.com
, to switch to it. -
RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents
Quite a few years ago, the new government budget leaked a few days before it was to be publicly announced because somebody tried the URL that contained last year's budget and incremented the year. There was much public uproar regarding security, and no hacking allegations.
The year after, it happened again. In the exact same way.

@Rhywden Well, that'll stop Dutch travel agencies going "We don't see a 'no non-essential travel' as a reason to cancel your vacation".

RE: Tales from Coronavee-rooss Italy, mamma mia!
So, yesterday here they announced an 'alcohol curfew'. It is not possible to sell or carry alcoholic products between 20:00 and 07:00. Now, yesterday, they announced this would also apply to weed.
Today they found out that's impossible. You see, weed is illegal under the Dutch opium law. However, per policy, this is not enforced. It's not possible to ban weed in a time window per emergency order, since it's banned outright. And it's apparently also not possible to adjust the non-enforcement policy.

Can't find the article again, but it was in Dutch anyway.
So there's a series of strikes with roadblocks in France the last few days causing quite some annoyance to people trying to actually use the roads.
The article described a group of opponents of the roadblocks going undercover and distributing soup to the strikers.
Soup laced with laxatives. -

RE: Newest tactics in asshole web designs

I would not ever let a web page push notifications, because they really have no fucking business doing that. I hate the feature and would like to drag the people responsible through a cactus field by a barbed wire around their ballsack/tits until it stops being fun.
Same. I'd really love for browsers to add a 'accept notification and blackhole it' option, because the current design is used by too many sites to keep nagging if you haven't accepted notifications.
