So to clarify: Belarus forced a plane to land, the French try to respect the autonomy of both, now they're banning flights? I had half joked I wanted to take the Moscow -> Bejing train at some point , but I guess I'll reasses (

Wow, that UI looks deceptive. Maybe if an organization like the FTC “nudged” Google with fines, or DOJ looked at other options, the smart folks at Google would get better at these sort of things once they’d had the proper incentives given

Along similar lines is there any guides on making more artful QR codes? I've seen ones that aren't square but still scan and found them fascinating.

This is admittedly a bit of a movie plot threat, but could an evil maid attack rewire this, then later malware takes advantage of the rewiring? IMHO layers of security are good. On my end I worry about the risks of constantly just leaving m

I literally designed antiphishing trainings. I also have Firefox containers for important things like banking - a phishing url from my email will not open in the correct container. Huge red flag.

Apple provides security updates longer than Android though. One could argue being able to own a phone for 5 years and receive security updates for a higher up front cost is preferable to buying a new phone every two years. To be blunt, that

Sucks for that corporation. They have teams and teams of lawyers - they should have consulted one of them. It is not just for a corporation to suddenly decide the law is unfair when they are subjected to it when real people have been harm

Well to be frank, you do seem rigid in your thinking. For example, I pointed you at a noted libertarian think tank earlier in the thread, and you basically ignored my post and continue to describe being for the decriminalization of sex work
