For Knuth's sake: The GDPR is NOT about cookies! The older 'cookie directive' is also NOT about cookies! They're about a third party storing their data on your computer, or storing your personal data on their computers - no matter what technology is used.
Nothing in the GDPR stops websites from honoring "Do not track" and then _not asking_ if it's present. They don't have to ask if they don't track you! They don't have to ask for a technically necessary session cookie that appears after you actively log in!
Websites ask because they want to track you! A 'law targeting browsers' would not help because people would say no to cookies, and then websites would ask about some other way to track you. Because they want to track you.
Switched from Gmail to Fastmail about 10 years ago.
2-3 spam emails slip through every week, and sometimes a false positive happens when I sign up for something new. I don't see this as a huge problem, and I doubt Gmail is significantly better.
Yes, EDN is S-expressions plus a bunch of semantic rules.
Parsing EDN is quite a bit more complex than just parsing S-expressions, just because you need to support a bunch of built in types, as well as arbitrary exensions through 'tags'.
I don't think KDiff 3 looks native anywhere, and I don't think it's because of Qt.
It uses weird fonts and icons, and for some reason their toolbar buttons just look wrong.
I think you're confusing lossless vs lossy with 192khz vs 44.1khz - in that case I agree with you, no percievable difference.
I can also hear differences between lossless/lossy encodings. If I tweak encoding parameters until I don't notice a difference, there is usually no real space saving afterwards - so why not go with lossess instead?
