For all that I dislike HTML tag soup, the language does a lot of things right. It's reflowable, it can be rendered at any resolution (even a text terminal, see Lynx), it's flexible enough to support any document structure, and it can be picked up quickly by any 12-year-old with a text editor and no previous programming experience (and that's how we got ourselves the quirky and fun 90s Internet).
You'd be hard pressed to find another document markup language that can do the same. TeX, maybe? Certainly not a graphics language like PostScript.
0BSD looks short and sweet, though. I don't need people using my libraries to include my LICENSE.txt, or give attribution, or tag any changes with their own copyright notice. Just take the code and do whatever you want, no strings attached.
Not sure I understand this. Whether you pay for a CDN or not, you'll still be guilty of sending the user's browser to an external domain without consent (because it happens before the page is fully loaded). The only GDPR-compliant solution seems to be self-hosting everything.
And yet, people are amazingly complacent în other aspects ("War halt immer so"). For example, your apartment's doorbell has to have your last name on it: someone with an unusual name could conceivably be tracked down just by postal code. For another example, when I was blogging, I had to display my full name and address in an Impressum on the website - dox myself, so to speak.
And, of course, the Berlin government forces people to register their address, and allows everyone to query it, because why wouldn't they:
Both with and without milk? Must be how Zen monks drink it.
It's what they call postmodernism, I think.
Earlier this year, there were rumors of a cheaper "Homeoffice-Ticket" which would only be valid on certain days, and in the end nothing came out of it either.
> The Telemediengesetz (German meaning "Telemedia Act") requires that German websites disclose information about the publisher, including their name and address, telephone number or e-mail address, trade registry number, VAT number, and other information depending on the type of company.
The relevant German laws (§5 TMG and §55 RStV) are fairly vague, so lawyers recommend publishing an Impressum if your website contains any commercial content (for example, ad banners) or any journalistic content (for example, blog posts).
Please take a look at https://ciumei.ca/blog/2020-07-25/j.html and do let me know if the code is at all cryptic.
