It's not even fair. Bosina and Herzegovina has to play against 50 states at the same time.

It's opt in, but tge article explains that it's nestled among a bunch of eulas that you have to click through, so unless you obsessively check which checkboxes don't have to be checked, you're going to find yourself opted in.

Legally? No.

Morally? Yes. Customers give their say as to whether or not they want to give their money to some specific company every single time they engage in a business transaction. There is also nothing wrong with telling others to make the same consideration.

Regardless of anything else, there are no circumstances under which companies like Uber would decrease traffic. This is because of two effects: Firstly, any regular car ride replaced with an Uber ride will result in more road-hours, since there is now a car travelling to your pickup point as well travelling on the road after dropping you off.

Secondly, the convenience of Uber can cause more travellers taking a car instead of public transport, again increasing the total number of road-hours.

Is there even a hypothetical scenario under which any of these private hire companies would reduce traffic? The only theoretical benefit is that less parking spaces are needed.

Not only that. Backroom deals without public documentation has been done since the beginning of humanity.

Even if blockchains were widely used, these things would happen outside the blockhain and no one would be the wiser.

When replying with an LLM generated piece of text, I would suggest at least reading it before posting.

I fully expect that we will soon hear how Apple revolutionised the industry by pioneering repairability.

It's the likes by AMD on what is obviously an LLM generated post.

I use KeepassXC and sync the database on my Nextcloud instance. It works really well, as long as you have Nextcloud of course.

I had that. I was very close to losing my arm, but I was lucky enough to get to a hospital quickly, and I ended up being there for 3 weeks, with 5 full surgeries under anstesia to remove infected tissue.

I'm telling you this to be aware of the signs. It started with minor pain when I put my elbow down on the table. This happened in the evening. The next morning there were some redness on the skin but I went to work. I visited a doctor who concluded there was an infection and recommending antibiotics. By the afternoon there was swelling and I was in quite a bit of pain so I went to the emergency. By the time I got there I could barely hold the pen when I signed my name on the form.

If you ever have a rapidly increasing infection, go to the hospital right away. Waiting a day could mean losing a limb.

It's been a while since anything failed on Proton. I can't really see why anyone would jump through the hoops to run Windows on this thing.

In Swedish it's called medsols and motsols. The iteral translation is with the sun and against the sun.

I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.

The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.

Yes. If you turn off a computer it can't be compromised.

But I think the interesting question is if its possible have a system that does something useful, while at the same time be 100% secure.

The answer is probably yes, especially small systems that have been designed for a single purpose, but it would be incredibly difficult to prove it. Just because it hasn't been compromised yet doesn't mean it won't in the future.

Even doing a formal proof only proves things within the abstract model the proof works with.

Just because there are other things that are worse, or at least as bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't call put bad behaviour when it happens. And written MS it keeps happening.

My personal project since the beginning of COVID has been a programming language/data manipulation tool.

At some point I realised that not writing a program is better than writing one (juat like how if a Unix task is simple, you'll just type the command in the shell rather than writing a script). The the aame vein, if you can write a few characters to map the sum of an array of values with maximum value in a nested list of numbers in some column of a 2-dimensional array, why should I write a program to do it?

I know my explanation seems overly generic, but I've already gone on for too long. If you're curious, check the examples and videos on the web site. Please feel free to ask questions, I could talk about this stuff for way too long.

It's been a while (well decades) since I used road tyres, but at least mountain bike tyres are famously recommending way too high pressure. I run about 1.3 bar in mine, while the recommended pressure on the tyres are 2.0 if I'm not mistaken.

And 2.0 is impossible to ride with. Apparently they do this to avoid lawsuits if the tyre punctures so they can argue you were running them out of spec.

In a way, the media hype was not completely bad. It helped ensuring there was budget to fix all those systems.

There was one called A Tale in the Desert that might qualify as well. No one remembers that one? (probably not since no one is talking about it)

I watched a few performances of these people in court. It's absolutely wild. Where do they get these ideas? Now I have this (likely unhealthy) desire to look at what these conversations look like. Do they have forums for these insane people?
