So I'm guessing that database would have quite a few activists listed in it and other anti-government people. Might even give someone a much-needed warning if they find themselves there.

Well, Reddit is hugely popular and its userbase is many times higher than here, not that that's necessarily a good thing. So it stands to reason that more exposure to posts leads to more people wanting to share their new discoveries an

Wasn't it somewhat twisted around in the movie? I'm almost certain I read something about it being an inaccurate depiction of the events. Though I admit I enjoyed the film, nice trifle to put on for an evening in.

Server-side encryption = encryption. The fact that you don't find it sufficient and other opinions are irrelevant when it comes to people just plain wrongly stating things, such as "unencrypted" for clearly encrypted data. It

While I'm not a fan of WhatsApp or Meta, I don't think this has much relevance here. WhatsApp isn't that afraid of losing users due to privacy concerns. Their 'new privacy policy' debacle made them worry a bit, sure

What a weird article, unless Google Translate really messed up for me. Spiegel basically references itself as the source, cites some minister who says she has pressure on the app and then explains that they plan to fine Telegram for not coo

Considering just how important social media has been in the last few years, I don't see how suggesting people should quit social media is silly. The US has had a president who largely communicated with his constituents through Twitter

I'm not one to claim that anything that goes against the grain is good, but in this case I'd say there's 0 reason to chastise your taste. Not only did you do extensive tests to see what exactly you like, you've also mana

Except now it won't sync older messages and sometimes messages only get delivered to your phone but not the desktop. They took a decade to roll out a desktop app and even then it's a mess. WhatsApp has been degrading under Meta&#x

That's a fascinating tidbit about the tree. So the fruit is edible, just not delicious? I suppose it could theoretically be bred to produce a more sweet variety of fruit?

Can't vouch for their taste or anything like that, but, based on the marketing, they seem to be positioning these as a high-quality species of strawberry and are also marketing it is a modern, cutting-edge alternative to standard farms

I'm curious, do you also tend to fast from news sources, if you follow any? HN, BBC, stuff like that. Things that aren't social media but might have a similar effect where you get overwhelmed or anxious from the information.

Could they still prevent it, though? What would they do, sue a state that's already started using "revoked" copyrights and is slowly starting to treat western laws the way many people treat the "fasten the seat belt&quot

Yep, I'm in awe at some of the other replies. "Keeping up with Russian sources"? The same ones who claimed Ukraine was not a real country or that they were developing battle pigeons? I wonder which side is more likely to be c

I wonder how many more high-profile targets will be revealed before anything is done. Last I remember, Israel said it's not at any fault and that Pegasus was a defensive project or some such excuse.

God this is depressing. I'm sure many people are excited about it but I feel like this will just make Twitter worse than it already is, and the scariest part is that it won't kill off the platform. People may say they'll ditc

That's a good example of how just a few malicious knobs ruin the fun for everyone else. I suppose blocking those bots isn't difficult but the fact that someone went out of their way to code one is so sad.

Bloody hell, that Winnie the Pooh quote got my eyes watering. I see people in the comments questioning whether the story is real but, regardless of that, I do want to compliment this woman's style of writing. It's not overly grim,

If you can raise your kids to not be distracted by roblox and TV (or at least not too distracted), you've probably already won the chore battle.

Well, it might be so but what's the point in Russia pissing off Finland while a good chunk of its forces is dedicated to the war in Ukraine? They're irrational but surely going "Let's start a war on TWO fronts!" is

Doesn't look much like a prophecy considering all the analysis by experts. Unless something more drastic happens, the plant will be fine. (The obvious caveat here is that even experts can be wrong but let's hope they're not.)

I was speaking more broadly about the retro aesthetic, not just GameBoy. Games from Sega and Nintendo consoles used to be pretty brutal, to the best of my recollection. Although maybe I was just a bad player, I was quite young after all.
