Banan for scale

Had a quick look. The software and electronic are the annoying bits, as usual.

Shame!

That sounds great. It may be bank-specific then.

These technical workarounds may work for a little while, and are useful to some extent.

But they’re not long term solutions for a government that regularly increase its surveillance powers at the expanse of privacy.

China and Russia reached a level of surveillance and repression where people may get arrested for merely using Matrix/VPN/Tor, regarless of what it’s used for.

Political action is a better way to address bad politics before it reaches this point. This could include voting, activism, supporting privacy-friendly NGOs…

Waiting until the last moment and then rioting isn’t the best option.

There are a few red flags that make wero not -privacy friendly. It apparently uses a phone number as identifier, and Android users are required to have revent version with the Google Play Services badware.

It’s good to have a local alternative to EMV, but privacy-wise those apps may be worse than EMV cards.

Technology cannot solve purely political problems.

Wake me up when once there are results of a well-designed clinical trial.

My understanding of the article is they’re extrapolating from experiments on mice and on a few human cells in a lab.

What would happen on unsupported browsers?

Hopefully the page would load just as well, but the transition would be less smooth.

If that allows the website to render fast, without JS, on all browsers then it’s more than worth it.

Uploading a video game character’s face rather than your own also benefits privacy.

The Tea app leak shows some keep verification pictures for too long, without meaningful security.

Al Jazeera English reports Handala was intercepted.

So stay tuned for an answer to why anything exists at all.

That’s a good cliffhanger.

Why are these people tolerated in events for global treaty negociation?

It’s obvious they’re only there to undermine regulations and apparently harass experts on the topic.

Update: I should have read the article before commenting. UNEP has no policy to prevent conflit of interest, and lobbyist are buying influence every way they can.

Damn

Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.

The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.

I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles. They could be better, maybe better highlight the danger of some porn, and the need for moderating. But the articles are not that bad.

Best of luck to affected journalists. I hope they find a better publication to work for.

There’s a Wikipedia article on TACO:

Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), also known as the TACO Trade, is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade war Donald Trump initiated with his administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.[1] The acronym is used to describe Trump’s tendency to make tariff threats, only to later delay them as a way to increase time for negotiations and for markets to rebound.[1][2]

This article also feature:

This looks like a feature, not a bug.

Instances probably want to serve images but not 7z archives with arbitrary content. So sanitizing images is a good thing, and this require tweaking file content.

The same way every living thing evolve. Through millon or billion of years of mutations and natural selection.

I suspect having round shape pushing against each other isn’t enought to get a hex shape.

In the picture, cookies are tiled such that those in the center are surrounded by 6 other cookies and have a hex shape. Others are surrounded by 2 to 4 cookies and are not hex. So it probably has to do with the tiling.
