Orribile che non sia gestita come qualsiasi altra estensione, ovvero con una propria icona spostabile e cliccabile + eventuale opzione in context menu/urlbar, ma che venga mostrata sotto forma di icona permanente in tutte le pagine. Com'è che questo design è passato? :/

oh yeah this definitely counts against the good things about christmas :D I live in a relatively rich part of Italy where shoplifting is very rare, and if you're not wearing "suspicious" clothes (eg. clothes that might suggest that you're poor), if the store is crowded and the staff is busy and you make the anti-theft sensors ring while crossing them, they likely won't even question why they are ringing and just assume an anti-theft tag wasn't properly removed during checkout. when I was a kid I've stolen sooo many videogames this way during christmas season, my parents where just too good looking to the staff that nobody ever suspected a thing lol

The NYE party/vacation, and the xmas dinner with the extended family. Basically the only two things I like about december. Everything else is just a giant advertising ploy or an excuse to cover up how alienated, cynical and out of touch the western world is during the rest of the year. It's very frustrating for me because I cannot overlook the very evident consumerist and narcisist side of Christmas

Any company that uses this on me is losing my business immediately.

Yep. Also selling and using these tools should be illegal, the same way unsolecited robocalls are

It still requires a phone number to sign up, but you don't need to share it to chat with someone

"Mulatto" is also an Italian word, it means the same thing. As someone already said up in the thread, nobody uses it as a slur, but I didn't know about its etymology. I still won't judge anyone that uses it, but I can understand how someone might not feel ok with being addressed with that word

okay, I admit it, I'm a little hyped

Aren't these pretty standard features for any modern music player? I've been using PA for years and it's definitely on another league, but I have explored many alternatives in the past and all of them had good queuing support

if you need a consent-or-pay example, just open La Repubblica's homepage. You will be prompted with the "accept all cookies or pay" prompt as soon as you open the site. Pretty standard practice for most Italian online newspapers, sadly

I had a similar experience with ketamine. I accidentally did a line that was a little too long and k-holed for the first time. During the trip I convinced myself I went insane and that I would have had to live the rest of my life inside the mind of an insane person, with no chance to ever experience the outside world again. But I was ok with that, I was like "well, it happened. Nothing I can do about it. I just got to roll with it now" lol. Then I snapped out of it. Never touched ketamine that weekend again, but the following week I wanted to repeat the experience.

Ketamine is not a psychedelic but a khole can make you experience stuff that maybe only DMT can. Illusion of timelessness, lack of physical dimensions, absence of linearity in time and space, it's something I've only been able to experience during my first k-holes

"We hope that within the next few weeks we can have a breakthrough" on what has been a bone of contention for months, WTO leader Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told a press conference.

"We believe there could be a sensible landing zone, a sensible compromise solution that would allow developing countries more access to technology transfer and IP whilst protecting innovation and research, not discouraging it," she added.

While a deal could be reached soon, it may not happen before the EU-African Union summit on February 17-18 in Brussels, said Okonjo-Iweala.

This wobbly opening comes more than one year after India and South Africa's request to temporarily lift TRIPS agreements on pandemic-related medical technologies
