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.

RE: Tales from Coronavee-rooss Italy, mamma mia!
@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".
Dutch PM this evening announced a general recommendation to stop shaking hands with others. At the end of the press conference, he shook hands with the head of the CDC, who co-presented with him...

RE: We need to be more user hostile to help them embrace freedom!
@hungrier Compare this with mac, where asking how to turn the light off, proverbially speaking, will get the fanboys tripping all over themselves to extol the virtues of sleeping with the lights on.

@kazitor said in “Just use Chrome”:
Atrocious injustices against the English language aside,
I find the best English is typically found in the works of those apologising for their English because they are not native speakers.

@Gurth So, you got exactly what you asked for and now you're complaining about it? You'll fit right in here I guess.

Mine is working on a campaign to slip into the bedroom and stay there for more than 10 seconds. Consequently, I suspect he's plotting to kill me in my sleep.

RE: Things that remind you of WDTWTF members
5-10 euros for a set of instructions is common, but there's quite some work involved in creating both the model and good instructions. I'm sure you can make a living off it but it's like being a youtuber for a living — it may sound easy, but a huge amount of time goes into it.

RE: Things that remind you of WDTWTF members
@remi You'd also want to be actively trading for maximum revenue. I don't have any good sources, but sealed sets go down in value immediately after retirement, then go up after that when leftover stock is gone. Or not, depending on the popularity of the set. But then it'll plateau after a year or two, and keeping it for a decade is a waste of storage space.

RE: Things that remind you of WDTWTF members
@Luhmann Skimming TFA before the please pay now banner appears - seems these are unopened set. Probably still some missing pieces in them given the number of sets since that does happen.
I'm sure there's people with more pieces, but personally I fall well short of that. Goes off to check – 100k. Respectable, but not even close.
