derimagia··on Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses
They might have just been using it in terms of giving it out as theirs for years. Doesn't mean they've ever had access. Or they could have typoed it a long time ago and now actually think that that they've logged in with it when they never have.
derimagia··on California DMV Is Selling Drivers' Data to Private Investigators
Doesn't make complete sense to me. If they are complying with their obligation but they can charge a fee why wouldn't they be able to increase the fee enough to get out of actually providing the information?

EDIT: I think I got it - I am hearing the fee is equal to the amount it costs them to provide it.

derimagia··on Schemastore.org – schemas for all commonly known JSON file formats
Jetbrains uses this in their IDEs https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/json.html#ws_json_schema...

It's how it autocompletes JSON / YAML files automatically

derimagia··on iOS14 reveals that TikTok may snoop clipboard contents every few keystrokes
I know in some apps when logging in with a TOTP (2-factor auth code) it scans your clipboard for it.

I believe Slack was one of these. I thought it was useful at the time.

derimagia··on 'Dord': A Ghost Word
I remember learning this years ago from a video which turns out to also be made by Merriam Webster:

derimagia··on Looking Glass: Run a Windows VM on Linux in a Window with Native Performance
Looks like that's for running it on linux via proton, not running on a VM.
derimagia··on Unverified.email
It's an alternative to mailhog or mailcatcher so no email is actually sent. It's just for testing sent emails.
derimagia··on Macy’s to Furlough 100k Employees
They have pushed digital pretty hard. Walmart even has https://www.walmartlabs.com/.

Both have been adapting pretty well to Amazon and offer 2 day shipping options as well.

derimagia··on No nuances, just buggy code (was: related to Spinlock implementation)
https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=189711 is the original post (what you linked). The quote is from https://probablydance.com/2019/12/30/measuring-mutexes-spinl...
derimagia··on ProtonMail takes aim at Google with an encrypted calendar
They could definitely ask you to unlock it. It's why apps like 1password added a "Travel Mode" https://blog.1password.com/introducing-travel-mode-protect-y...
derimagia··on The latest version of Slack has a setting to disable the WYSIWYG editor
All that demo uses is a contenteditable div. The bug is definitely is Chromium.

They link to Mullvad's No Logging Policy: https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/
derimagia··on Google chief: I'd disclose smart speakers before guests enter my home
Mycroft is the biggest that I know of: https://mycroft.ai/
derimagia··on Rest-client gem is hijacked
Malicious users would just change their code slightly to get past it. Use a different service than pastebin, or just obfuscating it more.
derimagia··on Google Chrome Incognito Mode Can Still Be Detected
And that's totally fine - if they add their articles (for example) into their robots.txt, it would cripple their SEO. It wouldn't happen.
derimagia··on Vital Wikipedia Articles
Generally you can find this kind of stuff in the Talk pages for articles.

derimagia··on Edge sends full URLs of pages visited to Microsoft
Fired up Edge Insider (The Chromium version). Works fine.
derimagia··on Show HN: Slim – Build and run tiny VMs from Dockerfiles
They are different, yes.
derimagia··on Tell HN: Archive.is inaccessible via Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)
I remember reading this a while back. It sounded more that archive.is was blocking Cloudflare (or at least not supporting it): https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/182...
derimagia··on Microsoft loses control over Windows Tiles
Doesn't even need to be under microsoft.com though. Just include the word "microsoft" in it.
derimagia··on Remove.bg – A service to remove the background of any photo
Here's the image: https://www.remove.bg/images/samples/combined/s1.jpg
derimagia··on Pika: Making it easier to find, publish, install, and use modern packages on npm
It doesn't look like a package repository. It's just a UI for the npm repository and some type of build tool.
derimagia··on Block Ads in Apps on Android
It's been a while since I've seen that but would drive me crazy too. I would immediately get a refund for it and review it appropriately.
derimagia··on Google .dev domain early access
Not sure I understand the point here, you're comparing subdomains to TLDs?
derimagia··on This person does not exist
Are you sure? I would think the pre-generated list would weed out the obviously incorrect/malformed ones that you sometimes get.
derimagia··on Show HN: Postmake – A directory of tools and resources for your projects
"Awesome" lists are kind of like this. https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
derimagia··on I Can No Longer Recommend Google Fi
Can't give you a definite answer, but it's easy to activate an account and they have a wizard for cancelling a plan with what looks pretty quick. https://i.imgur.com/lBv5NUw.png
derimagia··on Announcing unlimited free private repos
Github does have "Actions" which is their version of this which is in beta:

https://github.com/features/actions https://developer.github.com/actions/creating-github-actions...

derimagia··on “The default name prefix is changed to be ‘sqlite’ spelled backwards” (2006)
When linking to github you should use the hotkey "y" to get a permalink to the line number on the commit, otherwise it changes as code changes:

https://github.com/endlesssoftware/sqlite3/blob/8004eeafeec9...
