F91W from the article is unironically cool now (and has been since forever afaik). Especially in streertwear circles. I’ve legitimately seen plenty of people from early 20s to mid 30s wear F91WF, with Balenciaga tier of the outfit to match

I worked with the source code directly a few years ago. The grandparent comment confirms that what I saw back then is still the case today (assuming they have access to the source code in the present day). With that in mind, where does such

Classic EU policies, overregulate your own tech sector so much, it basically ends up being largely irrelevant (aside from a few massive corp players, but even then they are essentially not that significant compared to overseas competitors)

My good faith take on it is that it might indeed be the case in Denmark (which is where the grandparent comment user is from). Though Denmark’s twitter culture/userbase breakdown doesn’t seem likely to to me as being representative of

Yeah, I had the same question. Because the grandparent comment explanation felt very much like the “…and then draw the rest of the owl” joke.

Is there any info yet on what kind of a phone the attacker had? I still cannot find any article about this incident explicitly mentioning not even a specific model, but just whether it was Android or iOS at all. While most of them keep refe

Eeeeh, I think there is a more good-faith take on the events. My personal take is that they were just trying to do the meatspace equivalent of a bug bounty, without even attempting to touch or take any items. Kinda like how, typically, you

You aren’t addresing the problem posed by the grandparent comment. You say we should be more on the cautious side. Sure, that’s a fine take. But without actual classification as to what counts as “ultra-processed” food that actually maps to
