Europe had socialist leaders. It set half of it at least 50 years back in terms of social and economic progress, put up barbed wires around the borders, banned and imprissoned the oposition. Never more!

government funded, yet independent

🤨

Slovakia and hungary. Not sure how poland is doing these days, but there was an infamous news segment a few years ago that got international attention, because it was basically 5 minutes of simping for Andrzej Duda. Right before the elections.

I recognize the quality of work people in these institutions achieve. Not everything they put out is a political order, they still do decent journalism. It’s just that every now and then, you need to be aware of who controlls them. About what they say, or most importantly, what they don’t say when it comes to reporting on certain topics.

It might seem nice to have a funcioning “public” media, but all I see is a ticking time bomb, waiting for one bad election…

There doesn’t seem to be technical vision behind the proposal yet.

Jesus Christ, you’ve just savagely described the europe in a nutshell 😕

Could Europe build a public-service social media model, inspired by public broadcasting

Sure. The government owned broadcasting is working great… not being abused at all. #JustEasternEuropeThings

Maybe God isn’t even thinking of you

When God straight up forgets about you

You know who had a cool name? Lucius Cincius Alimentus!

So… nobody changes the default settings, therefore everyone should change the default settings… to the wrong option?

edit: Why is it that homo sapiens is always willing to go an extra mile just to hurt itself?

Why are they always coming up with some kind of bullshit excuse? :D

A bit of unrequested advice… Help expand, or start a mesh network in your area. The SX1260 lora chips are a modern miracle. Plus, It’s basically hiking and socializing activity masked as a tech hobby. There’s also a chance of learning a little bit of physics, or community organizing as a bonus.

With the new people you meet, there’s also a chance of finding a new hobby. I’ve met an unexpected number of paraglidists through my various tech interests. People from all kinds of backgrounds are really into flying. Who knew?

I was sitting at the neurology office. As the doctor starts to scroll through the pictures of the inside of my head I see a huge blob. Well, this is it, I thought. It’s finally happening…

But then I remembered that scene from the Breaking Bad. These pictures can be decieving if you don’t know how to read them.

“Looks clear” the doctor says. “That thing? Probably just some calcificate…”

But now I know. I’m not ready.

edit: I’ve never told this to anybody, and now I realized the first person I shared this traumatic moment with is a fucking communist. I hate the internet sometimes!

the only way you can feel halfway safe and secure is by spending more money

That’s not something the Graphene devs could change. The firmware on the existing truckload of old hardware is simply outdated and insecure. To fix that would require somebody to write completely new firmware for those devices. You’re free to take the job. Help the community, and the environment, by reviving all those old devices. Free of charge, or course ;)

That’s the most unpleasant sound I’ve ever heard. The farting base tone from the tiktok videos is a masterpiece compared to this :D

Your bank does not need to use the app trackers to spy on you. They already know everything important there is about you.

What the banks are worried about is fraud. Fraud costs them money. But the thing is, the app development cycles are long and complicated, and instead of a pragmatic approach, they just bolt on more and more obscure non deterministic authentication schemes and heuristic checks. That’s why the app wants to know things like your location and access to the list of other installed apps, and simple username and password are not enough to let you through anymore.

The device attestation for them is probably just another checkbox to tick on the list of “at least we tried”. Regardles of whether it’s actually relevant for security. As long as it saves them more money that it costs them, there’s no reason to not enable it.

Finally! It was too complicated finding a shady privider who allows number spoofing for outgoing calls. It’s about time all the phones had this feature natively.

Is this related to Glance in any way?

when you take land from the people

But that’s the main characteristic of communism. The ruling class takes the resources from the people to misallocate them.

U.S. user data stored on Amazon Web Services servers.

What data?

Why does a rail company even need a customer database?

I am still confused. Aren’t locks modular and easily swappable on the other side of the ocean?

This is how they look here. You can just swap it without changing the looks of the door in any way.
