Why do journalists have to do this work as opposed to the German secret service or military?

My favourite of these company names is still BOIFUN who obviously sell DVD players, baby monitors and door bells.

See Wikipedia:

The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.

In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.

Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.

If this ever happens I am going to put my soldering iron to good use and figure out a way to lobotomize my microwave.

The patent for the Cherry MX design finally expired in 2014. Since then, more and more Chinese companies have been producing switches that are also of comparable quality to Cherry’s.

Cherry is lagging behind its Far Eastern competitors in so-called Hall effect switches with magnetic fields.

Cherry benefited from high demand during the coronavirus pandemic, which has since subsided.

So it goes.

Why are they doing business in Russia?

This isn’t even the worst of it. Now you have to dig through copious amounts of AI slop to find a real recipe. I just use classic recipe books instead. Some of them might be over a hundred years old but the recipes work.

Overall this seems to be the most reasonable approach to the whole issue so far.

Parents set up a child account on the device. The OS enforces what applications are available and that browsers are launched in some kind of child mode. The browser communicates to websites that the user is underage, for example by sending a http header. Websites check that header and can decide if they allow this user or not.

With this approach I see no glaring privacy issues compared to the recent push for digital ID laws and nobody will have to call their ISP to enable porn mode.

I tried it a couple of years ago with the steam controller and the action camera. It works surprisingly well.

Here is more information.

Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.

And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!

This sounds promising.

Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.

I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.

“You’ve been repeating several times that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine,” Nunziati, who is a contractor with Nova, said at a press conference. “Do you believe that Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza since they have destroyed almost all its civilian infrastructure?”

Well, how dare she ask such inflammatory questions in front of her betters. Journalists should know their place and only ask the pre-approved questions handed to them.

That explains a lot about her.

That’s what happens when people keep voting for right wing cunts.

I installed Shelter into the owner profile to enable the work profile. All the googly stuff gets installed in that work profile. I only unpause the work profile when I need a specific app and pause it again when I am done. Open source and apps that do not require play services are allowed to run directly in my owner profile.

So? Have some guts for once and block the sale for national security reasons.

Chinese with Jessie translated a bunch of westeners’ chinese tattoos and you are not to far from the truth.

These pesticides definitely shouldn’t be produced anymore, but I think the various governments of the “global south” have to step up as well and regulate this for themselves.
