axelfreeman | 4 years ago | on: Google results for PHP tutorials contain SQL injection vulnerabilities
I checked the first page of google results for "php sql login" in german and all examples are talking about escaping or prepared statements.

A lot of guessing and hunching and try to find one answer to a couple of problems where the question isn’t clear. So I don‘t know what point this article wants to make.
axelfreeman | 5 years ago | on: You Don't Need a GUI
I think this is because of the "default" behaviour pattern. You can rightclick or do a context click on the most systems. Even on smartphones you can hold your finger on the file to get a context menue. This is not the case for cli. There is not global pattern like "context file" or "options file" that works on every cli. There are not a lot of easy common patterns in the cli world. Even for autocomplete you have to change the default shell on the popular systems.

You could link to the original web url and also do a print version of the web content as PDF. That's how i archive howtos and write-ups of interesting content. Print view and create a PDF version.

He doesn't need to display ads to make his point. But he does. There is also no "public denouncing" of anything here. (Maybe change the text after 1 hour or something)
He just said that because he don't want to be the bad guy in front of the reporter and his family.

I had a lot of fun automate this game and see the results.
setInterval(function() {document.getElementsByTagName("a")[Math.floor(Math.random() * document.getElementsByTagName("a").length)].click()}, 5000)

There is a cookie icon in the adressbar if 3rd party cookies are blocked. You can click it and go to show cookies or something (first blue link) and unblock the blocked.
axelfreeman | 9 years ago | on: Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours
It will cause friction and it doesn't matter what you are doing. Hate will produce friction. Counter speech is friction. Removing or blocking will cause friction.
This actions are made BECAUSE OF right-wing hate on facebook/twitter where people post that they should kill other people, politician, refugees. That's why they focus on this problem right now. Does this mean left-wing hate speech at the same level will not be deleted? I don't think so.
axelfreeman | 9 years ago | on: Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours
I thought about things we "kill all n*ggers" or "kill all white men". Thats an easy example of hatespeech for me.
axelfreeman | 9 years ago | on: Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours
It's not about left or right removal quantity. It's about hate. And there are a lot of easy cases on social media. I don't know what the do with not so easy cases. Maybe the same as before.

If this will be a problem and it's getting abused it will be illegal. It's also illegal to clone a human from your hairs.
I don't get it. I can also search in a phone book for names or i can contact goverment help to find. The problem is what happens after you got the information and this is regulated in laws.
If your data is not on the internet it doesn't mean you are invisible.
axelfreeman | 10 years ago | on: Bing and Yahoo still advertise freeware with toolbar/adware installer
At least in germany.
Same problem with searches for "google chrome", "filezilla", "7zip", "opera" and "vlc player". It could be more.
Duckduckgo is using yahoo adnetwork and shows the same adware/toolbar installers. Google banned the ads for this search terms years ago.
axelfreeman | 10 years ago | on: Creativity Is Much More Than 10k Hours of Deliberate Practice
The difference is that kids have creativity and use all skills in a not conforming way to express is. If you are grownup you think you have to e.g. paint good in way X too be successful. Nobody have to master creativity but the most people say famous artists are so much creative.

"I think we have a problem."
I think this is a lifestyle choice and you have a problem if you have a problem with your behavior or don't like the result of it. If i see people doing it and they are happy why should it be a problem?
axelfreeman | 10 years ago | on: What if the problem of poverty is that it’s profitable to other people?
But the decision to buy this overpriced shit is made by the people and not buy the companys. This seams like bad decisions if you have not that much money or want to spent it better.
The real problem are systems where rich people doen't have to buy so much taxes of automated productions or property.

Visiting a link exposes also a lot on default. Browser, OS, Resolution. The major browsers are not build for this needs. Best experience first. BTW: There are extensions to block webrtc ip leak.
