Needs to be regulated Asap. Corruption is cancer.
Can’t read the whole article however, from what is mentioned in the visible part, I find it a bit strange that free speech and monetary transactions, aka earning money with said free speech, is something that should be protected by law somehow.
Feels safer though to pay than to get something for free.
The “i regret becoming a manager” theme gets repeated often and I don’t know about you guys but I go to work for the money, plain and simple. Sure coding is pleasurable (I’d do it for free as a hobby anyway) but if being ceo pays many times more, I’d just go for that if possible. Seems almost unreasonable not to desire that job over a coding position..
Interesting thought.. and the data is surely available, someone must just find it and use it to connect the dots

Hello message from the ancestors!
What about magnets for collection?
Thanks for the summary!
Re:Berlin buys thousands of apartments from corporate landlords on Saturday September 18, 2021 @08:55AM (#28575849)
Didn’t they sell government housing before? Anyway this is probably a bad idea as governments are bad landlords and taxpayers will get the bill eventually
I wonder how the pilots would have reacted if the computers had crashed 10-20 seconds earlier. Would they have landed or would they go up again to wait for reboot?

After music and tv, we need some sort of affordable unlimited subscription for books and scientific papers
Not a bad problem to solve .. how to identify clickbait

Amazing. I bet Tesla would do the same if they had enough cash

I think the homeless don’t scare people necessarily because they are a what-might-be but rather because of being a what-is. In the us you might get a bad conscience if you see a homeless person but hey at least your salary is good. In Europe we pay so many taxes that it feels a bit different.

I use a generic iPhone without any mods

And yeah probably need to use windows not tabs on desktop. On iPhone each tab wouldn’t see that another is logged in though

(Otherwise yes good to be aware of fingerprinting I agree with you)

I surf in private mode. A super simple solution for all your tracking protection needs people. It boggles my mind how this comes up again and again yet we have private browsing since when? The 90s? Don’t be lazy - that’s the real reason, isn’t it? Having to login again..

Just use the private/anonymous browsing feature - problem solved
Re:Toshiba reports milestone in quantum cryptography on Thursday August 26, 2021 @06:27AM (#28312958)
Even if quantum crypto reaches distances of 100‘000km it would still not mean we can use it at home I suppose, because just having one switch/router between Alice and Bob would break the scheme, no?
Re:My dead dad’s journal on Thursday August 26, 2021 @03:53AM (#28311846)
My journal is encrypted but I have boxes of old letters, photos of old girlfriends even, and I wonder what to do with it. Contemplating to scan all of it and then get rid of the paper version. Or maybe just put a label for the wife and kids on the boxes: „private, if I die please just get rid of it. Or look at it if you want.“ - I just realized I don’t care that much now and i certainly won’t care when I’m gone.
Is Apple proposing anything? I think they are just going ahead with it
I mean what if apples search decides that I am suspicious? Will they unlock my keychain and give all my logins to some police or worse random people somewhere to check my stuff? Very disappointing indeed
Good to get these reminders that our data is in fact not private and that our computers have other owners than us..
