IIRC even LASER was seen as a novely demonstration of quite an obscure effect…

Maybe someone with a really interesting voice?

Yes, you should have a medical tricorder. It’s a scandal these don't exist.

The EU can comply with its own regulations, it’s just that EU citizens (sometimes) can force it into compliance if it does not. That’s a nice feature.

So your point is that even with a IFR of less than 2.6% bodies had to be stored in freeze trucks? Ugh.

I really like this one because it’s a valid question about an odd thing that would take a while to answer properly:

> I have a huge text on my sat nav in my car where, among other things, your email address can be seen?

> Can you tell me what this is all about?

So Google is rewriting what your online banking site is showing on the fly?

“I am sure” of many things I have no idea about, too. It’s called Dunning Kruger effect.

If you don‘t seriously talk about politics but consider it sports and entertainment and about “winning”, you get Dr. Oz and RFKjr to decide about your health and Matt Gaetz overseeing justice.

Politics is everywhere and it has to be everywhere but politics is not Joe Rogan or Fox news. That‘s propaganda.

That’s an interesting point to add to the feature list of a future product: “Proof” of deletion that is plausible to laypeople. Of course one has to delete according to the law, too, but that plausible proof may get rid of a lot of support calls escalating to your level.

Interestingly the only people who are not supposed to “push a political agenda” are usually accused of being “woke” in one of the next sentences. “Keeping politics out” brought the US - and the world - Trump, two times. Most things in life are political.

Leaving one billionaire owned platform for another. This will be wonderful.

> Threads was immediately political and I assume bluesky is too.

Life is political. Believing that it’s not only means that someone who is also pretending that life is not political will make the rules.

Oh, you’ll be hearing it for much longer. Greetings from Germany.

What is the average life expectancy in India compared to the US?

The US will stay the country that voted for Trump (and is close to doing this again) and the Washington Post will stay the newspaper where the billionaire owner decides what is published.

None of this can be repaired for a generation.

Her name was Breonna Taylor, she was an emergency medical technician until police shot her. #sayHerName

> What are you doing that actually benefits from gluing the screen to your face?

For a start you get multiple very large virtual screens that are a lot bigger than the screen in a notebook. This to me is an interesting use case.

Your one man company definitely is not safe, you’ll be responsible for all damages done by the full stack you’re providing. Each library / OS / whatever software is part of your product. Yes, this is bad.

I know it’s a lot of work but this would be great and it may give readers a deeper understanding into security in general.

Even when I‘m logged out I expect at least information on my geographical location to seep into the archive via URLs addressing specific CDN endpoints or similar mechanisms.

I was about to post a link to the same URL but archived using singleFile, which looks like the original at amazon. I didn‘t because I realized that I have absolutely no idea what additional information would be hidden in the file. In the worst case any component sent by Amazon and archived into the file may contain PII, even if I am “logged out“.

I‘m not saying that singleFile is bad in any way, I‘m using it a lot on multiple devices, but I‘m not sure whether sharing archives is a good idea™.

So even if your company has its own mailserver everyone is locked out of email if some Microsoft services are down, again. Brilliant.

It’s an abstraction that makes people focus on the part that is relevant for the discussion at hand, and not on implementation details.

Too bad if the DRM-server that knows that you paid for Apple CarPlay/Google Auto is turned off…

Using adblockers is a safety measure. Since ads on websites today are known to spread malware and the ad industry has not been able or is not interested in fixing this I don‘t see any value in discussing your idea.

That‘s what we got for privatization and many years of „conservative“ ministers of transport and public infrastructure. Just wait for the first bridge to fail with a train or a car on it and the calls for public-private partnerships… (Writing this on a moderately ICE-train)

Perfumes have been used for thousands of years and shops are investing into the right aromas to make their customers buy more. I wouldn’t be surprised if the right aromas can have a positive influence on a patients mood, compared to “the uplifting smell of a hospital ward”.

No shielding at all?

Can all the Helen Lovejoys angry about this nonsensical feature please just stop using iTerm? iTerm would lose a single digit number of users and $0 of income.
