    It’s just the “Press Next until installation completes” mentality crossing over to the programming side.

    You see a dialogue with a red icon and escape it as fast as possible.
    You see red text, you just think it is an error and ignore what it says, expecting it to be useless (or maybe not expecting anything at all}


    Then when someone tells you to rad the errors, you read them and don’t find them useful because all those years of using computers, you didn’t learn to understand that stuff, no matter how easy it was.


  • The bottom-most bridge was built around the 12th century. How the hell they managed to build stuff like this way back then staggers me.

    I find it hard to relate with this sentence. That’s just 3 bridges on the top of what seems like a natural rock formation, right? With 2 being arches and the top one being a modern-ish structure.

    No matter how deep it is, it’s narrow enough to just move a prebuild wooden foot bridge used for people to go around constructing the thing.



  • Well, that’s how it tends to be in most places.
    You don’t get caught for downloading; you get caught for uploading.

    Using a similar logic to distribution via DVDs. Only the seller gets into trouble. The buyer does not.


    Another point, opening a web page means downloading it, so if someone wanted to frame someone for downloading something, it would be very easy to make such a trap. This, accompanied with CSAM and network monitoring could be used to easily get any person using the internet, in jail, just for opening the wrong link. So, the laws require much more information regarding intent and such.
