Found the Windows user. On Linux we actually have polkit that can elevate privileges with a GUI prompt.

Cosmic.

2029: EU proposes to criminalize the use of mathematics.

Working on your yt-dlp wrapper I see, nice. Keep up the good work!

If Linux suddenly started gaining traction on a bigger scale, Microsoft would make a user-facing proprietary distro and those bastards would still flock to it.

First saying that tabs are a no go, then proceeding to deliberate on the correct amount of spaces...

Long live tabs!

Nice, used to love playing with p5 back in the day, good to have such tools for Lua which is often recommend as a beginner language.

I wish the author did implement some built-in libraries like middleclass, that would allow people that don't necessarily understand how metatables to fake classes in more elaborate ways than what's showcased in the instances.lua example.

Clipboard in Linux is weird. Can you replicate this:

1. Copy text
2. Close the application you copied from
3. Paste into a different application
4. Nothing appears

If so, that means you don't have a clipboard manager running, default for KDE is Klipper I believe.

Fuck subscriptions

Most companies I've sent data deletion request just do it, but when they start to argue I just hit them with most ridiculous bullshit while acting like the most privileged bitch until they do it my way.

Try saying no, see what happens.
Fearmongering, gaslighting, lawful threats, technical jargon and the word 'rape' are your friend.

Just recently when requesting GDPR data deletion from UK-based company they also wanted to confirm my identity, hell they will.

I hit them with the fact that a person controlling the e-mail address can use their 'Forgot password' feature to take control over the account and access my sensitive data they're in possession of or steal my identity using their own services. I also not so kindly suggested that I'll report them so their security practices are investigated for the safety of their customers.

...they deleted the data without any further questions.

PS. Not sure about UK laws, but for GDPR: Always request confirmation of the deletion and the detailed steps they've taken to ensuring your data has been properly erased. They're obligated to tell you that upon request.

Just tried this out using a typical temporary email address (temp-mail.org) and a VPN (AirVPN).
I was only asked to confirm my e-mail address within 3 days, never for a phone address or any banking details.

Judging by the first post you've linked to, it's only necessary for paid accounts or free trials.
The person in the second post is trying to register via GitHub / Google, well... sucks for them.

One Lone Coder has made few videos about adding Lua scripting to a C++ program, maybe it has what you're looking for: Embedding Lua in C++ #1
