I don't think "European children will look at the map and feel less significant" is a carefully neutral observation. It's an assumption that European children feel superiority because their country is slightly bigger. If

Strict mode has always been broken for me. Firefox replaces some of Google's tracking scripts with no-ops but that usually breaks Google's reCAPTCHA on my end. I have to disable tracking protection to make reCAPTCHA sites work. I

The G'zOne made headlines being the first water resistant phone and it had a replaceable battery from the very start. The Fujitsu F-02D was another good example, with a fully-featured touch UI while still boasting something other than

Sure, there are loads of easy solutions to this problem. Putting everything behind Cloudflare is the most common one, Anubis and its competitors are another. I could also block all data centers, countries with loads of CGNAT + botnets like

Waterproof phones with replaceable batteries existed, but they used more rubber and other tricks to pull it off. This had the advantage of making it a lot easier to close the phone again and still keep the water resistant properties. Having

All carriers I've tried in my country have even disabled MMS entirely. They're not running RCS servers either, though, everyone is on WhatsApp anyway. In theory carriers could increase the max resolution for MMS now that 3G is ess

RCS is an extension of SMS and has quite literally been "SMS but more capable" from the start. The protocol on the wire looks a lot like MMS over LTE. Registration and communication mostly happens over SIP and RTP like in the late

Regular users store the cookie and do the challenge once. Bots do it over and over again throwing out the cookies so they're not rate-limited. Extreme configurations with high difficulty do make for a frustrating experience on very old

Shitty scrapers hitting images over and over again is also a problem. Not just /pic/1.webp - /pic/2.webp, but in practice I've seen three AI scrapers that would request things like /pic/1.webp?version=webp

The Dutch transfer out of Canada is minimal and pretty much a token amount. Most gold has been transfered out of the USA. As for why, the American people elected Donald Trump for a second time and the recent trade wars have helped spread th

Yes, you can. Either you can physically own the key on the physical device (i.e. Yubikey/Google Titan/HSM) or you can use software (KeepassXC, Bitwarden). Most operating systems and browsers come with a sync mechanism that many pe

Those are all controlled by companies in and subject to the demands of the USA, which has been proving for many years that they cannot be trusted. Also, all common names with any of those prefixes have been registered a long time ago.

There are other Android stores. Amazon ran one for the longest time. Many brands have their own app stores as well. It's the app publishers defaulting to Google that's the biggest issue. At least WhatsApp has an official APK downl

The proof-of-work approach is much better privacy-wise than what the usual CAPTCHA services are doing. My ungrounded speakers have a tendency to pop and make noise when they come out of sleep (sleep? on a speaker? fuck you logitec) and ever

Damn, I've never seen Anubis set up that aggressively, I wonder what kind of attack their web servers must be under to set their bot filters up this strictly.

Wero also isn't implemented EU-wide either, so it's still possible as long as the banks play ball. UK politics has been quite isolationist, though, so I doubt the banks will see much in interoperating with the rest of Europe.

Wero is a payment provider technology, a money wallet, and a bank account integration technology under one single marketing name. On the payment provider technology side, you're right, but the wallet feature uses phone numbers (and I t
