Wait… You’re telling me that people born into extreme privilege and wealth turn out to be self-aggrandizing, egotistical, sociopaths who drastically over-estimate their own importance and contribution to society?
My world view is shook!

The anecdotal cultural zeitgeist of our animal-specific ignorance.
There really should be a focus on government-level efforts in the EU, to force mobile manufacturers to standardise and open source all firmware sold in its jurisdiction. All OSS mobile OS’s (not on custom OSS hardware) rely on Android solutions because mobile hardware is bespoke, closed source, and non-standard from device to device; the opposite to the PC ecosystem that enabled Linux. The Apple/Android duopoly won’t be broken if mobile hardware vendors can continue creating custom closed-source firmware for their hardware, and there’s simply no reason to allow this anti-competitiveness to continue.


Fun fact! Many studies have proven that timing nutrition is almost inconsequential unless you are an athlete, bodybuilder, etc (e.g. differing daily protein intake between 1 dose vs 5 doses will only result in few % variance).
Our biology is designed for wildly varying access to food.
Max input. Min retention.
If I retained only 0.01% of the information I’ve read, people would think I were a savant. Instead, I’ll struggle to remember your name, even if I’ve known you for years.


This is how public money should be spent. Every dollar spent on proprietary code is money wasted. Every dollar spent on public code benefits every other country, org, and individual who runs that software. It reduces the cost for everyone, in perpetuity, instead of enriching some sociopathic technofascist and their oligarch investors.


The less likely Israel is to murder them.
There is no way Israel will allow them into Gaza.
I like how cat doesn’t know what cat’s doing either…


After their capitulation to fascism I will try to avoid buying any Apple products ever again. My 15 Pro will hopefully be my last. Their monopolistic walled garden is making it extremely difficult to migrate away gradually.
Just waiting on the future of GrapheneOS and linux phones given the EU’s recent attacks on encryption etc.


Username is accurate


Failed state is collapsing. Here’s Tom with the weather.


Definitely don’t look into the history of genocide then, because there are dozens of them in recorded history, and every single one is littered with the most indefensible horrors imaginable.
Also, Macklemore released a song titled after the resulting student protests, not long after.


Until next year … coz nothing screams democracy like relentless attacks and erosion of civil liberties.
It’s like people who manage their tasks by simply writing them down on paper…
You fucking what!?! How am I supposed to manage hundreds of tasks with a piece of paper… They won’t fit. What if I lose the paper? How do I filter the tasks by location, date, time, or any other context? Your ancient methods are pure insanity to me.


We wouldn’t want to risk losing a small amount of tax revenue by taking a significantly larger amount of tax revenue.


3 million sounds low. I’d assume most home owners over 50 would be millionaires in 2025, or does it only count if a married couple has 2+ million?
There’s no way airpods have the power or compute to do that (anytime soon). It’ll be via phone or mac.


Protons’ copy is always encrypted. E2EE doesn’t apply when the recipient is on an external mail server (unless you explicitly encrypt it with their public PGP key).
This still provides the major benefit of encrypting your email archive, and protection from data breach.


Then the application should encrypt the data saved to the db.
I can’t think of any scenario where it would make sense for the db to handle encryption.
It certainly sucks, but he was in his late 60’s when it happened. He’s almost 80 now.
He’s had a great and full life, and he has great care; most people don’t get either of those things. Aging sucks.
