Yeah, I’m just saying that the benefit of using such a regex isn’t massive (unless you’re building a service which can’t send a mail).

a@b is a syntactically correct e-mail address. Most combinations of letters, an @-symbol and more letters will be syntactically correct, which is what most typos will look like. The regex will only catch fringe cases, such as a user accidentally hitting the spacebar.

And then, personally, I don’t feel like it’s worth pulling in one of those massive regexes (+ possibly a regex library) for most use-cases.

Yeah, I love to rag on languages with weak typing, because of the potential for a bug, but seeing it play out in reality, directly with user input, that’s certainly something else.

Well, and remember: If in doubt, send them an e-mail. You probably want to do that anyways to ensure they have access to that mailbox.

You can try to use a regex as a basic sanity check, so they’ve not accidentally typed a completely different info into there, but the e-mail standard allows so many wild mail addresses, that your basic sanity check might as well be whether they’ve typed an @ into there.

It’s like back in the 80s, when games had amazing hand-drawn covers and then the graphics was just text or simple shapes, but now with gameplay.

Hmm, I don’t know anything about Whoogle, but from other privacy-conscious search engines, I would expect it to work when you use that URL in your bookmark.

Three things I can imagine:

• Something in your hosting stack strips the URL parameters, like maybe your reverse proxy, if you use one. You might be able to see in the Whoogle or web server logs, which URLs actually reach it. Might need to set it to debug/trace logging.
• Maybe there’s a flag in the Whoogle configuration you need to enable to accept these preference URLs.
• It’s a bug in that Whoogle version.

Well I,m, glad because, I, do, put a, lot of, them,.

One time, I had to hand in English homework, 1½ pages, and later got it back from the teacher with the feedback that I had only written two sentences. The first sentence spanned the whole first page, which wasn’t intentional.

Interesting. I almost guessed that variant, too, but figured it would be a bit too wild for a country to auto-adopt most laws that another country implements. 🙃

I’m more surprised that it even got offered there. There’s some legal hurdles to clear for selling in a new country, and I guess, one of their distribution platforms decided it was worth it.

I guess, the Vatican might not have a ton of laws, though…

Yeah, that’s the joke. It’s only mansplaining when it’s condescending, but she’s turning it on its head by just not taking those men serious at all.

Codeberg also does have Pages.

Still uses Git, but yeah.

I guess, the joke is that clipped toenails sometimes catapult off so far that they might as well have launched out of orbit. You won’t find them again either way…

When I was around 3 years old, me and my not much older brother decided to walk across town, where our mum was visiting relatives.

I was missing mummy, which was technically not an emergency, for which we were supposed to phone those relatives.
We had been raised very well, you see. 🙃

Neat, thanks. 🙂

I have been thinking, with how closely inspired lots of Pokémon are from real animals, that you could probably come up with a collectible card game or such, using real animals.

I mean, maybe I’m just being an old person and kids wouldn’t find that cool, but I certainly felt at some point, that I would’ve spent my time better, if I had learned about biology rather than made-up Pokémon stats…

Yeah, the formulation is a bit off here. With opt-out, you have no way to measure consent, because you can’t discern between people who actually consent and those who just haven’t opted out, for lack of knowledge or other reasons.

These societies have simply weighed up the two options and decided that saving lives is more important than leaving personal freedom intact at all costs.

What I don’t like about the genre, is that I’m bad at it. 🙃

More seriously, I do find it kind of frustrating at times. Restarting ten times in a roguelike, no problem, because it’s always a new challenge.
But if I miss the same jump ten times, or have to retry the same platforming passage ten times, you’ll see me getting impatient, which means I’ll fail the next ten attempts, too…

Not so sure about that plural…

Codeberg recently held a translation event where projects could sign up, if they wanted help. You can still look at their resources here, or I guess, you can just pick out a project and start translating over here: https://translate.codeberg.org/

Depending on your file manager, you may be able to hold Shift while triggering the delete to get a hard delete.

Shift+Del is pretty much standardized as the keyboard shortcut. And here on KDE, I can hold Shift while clicking the “Move to Trash” menu entry, too (well, it actually replaces the menu entry with one for permanent deletion, but that’s effectively the same).

It’s not getting updated anymore, unfortunately, but this is a cool webpage to get a feel for that: http://www.their.tube/
