Everyone I know uses WA, but a significant amount (~50%) uses Signal as well, most of those are not tech people. Back when they announced the crypto stuff, I knew next to no one with it, so that doesn’t really matter. I think only 1 or 2 pe

Interesting. Here it had some niche users, but got completely supplanted by signal, which is the clear #2 with the people I know.

Almost nothing is. Local politicians fail upwards to the EU (at least in Germany) or some private job, if they fail at all. Most of the time, you can do what you want, and the voters don’t care.

That's why I only care about the per liter price. It's always comparable and by law it has to be on the sign in Germany (and probably EU)

Suno and friends, IMO, make good to acceptable songs. A few times per genre (for those they even can do, growling is still outside their capabilities). But, as with most things AI, it becomes very recognizable and same-y after a short time.

Block this: https://cursor-party.labs.partykit.dev/cursors.js Unlike the recently frontpaged page, this one loads the annoying effects as 3rd party JS, so uMatrix automatically blocked it for me.

I looked it up, and it seems L3 is only used by Visa and MC, and only for B2B/B2G. Could you link a source supporting your claims?

I don’t think it needs "really" before "big", it’s certainly not normal in the big city I live in now (pop 200k) nor the medium big city I lived in before (pop 90k). I can believe it’s like that for small villages, idk,

Do you mean root detection? Because running Google apps on lineage OS devices is probably more common than not.

It is not? I prefer to avoid plastic in general, so most clothes I buy are 100% cotton. If I wanted to, I could also go with organic cotton instead, it’s almost always an option for online clothing stores (less so for the metal band shirts
