The election is a re-election vote triggered by the MP already in the very safe seat, as a distraction from "where did all this money come from" investigations around him (which ar…

Europe is the obvious answer. As others have posted, your numbers here are way off. And on the flip side, there's now some major programs actively encouraging this with special gra…

How could it possibly hurt? For trusted publishing, it's not a band-aid, it's a significant improvement that kills an entire class of CI takeover publish attacks. I'm sure attacker…

Are they disabling local mode? There's no mention of that here - the post by Bambú actually specifically promotes it.

> But it's still not at the point where it's cleaner per capita than the US and it's still quite far from that. China has significantly lower co2 emitted per capita than the US alr…

That referendum result is quite debatable, since the legal situation meant most people against it simply didn't vote. While in the past it was close, nowadays polls strongly sugges…

> Now this dumb announcement comes out that a 3rd party has (apparently legally) established interop with a Meta property with (I am guessing) a completely proprietary, undocumente…

Wireguard is _really_ simple in that sense though. If you're not doing anything complicated it's very easy to set up & maintain, and basically just works. You can also buy quite a …

Interesting discussion of the details of the rules and breaches here, from a "this isn't actually about content or censorship at all" perspective: https://bsky.app/profile/daphnek.…

This makes no sense. A lifetime license is convenient conceptually, but it completely detaches your goals (working software) from a company's incentives (provide absolutely zero af…

I've done something similar, it's worth noting Scaleway in the same space, for people looking for an AWS replacement more like managed services (equivalents to fargate/lambda/sqs/s…

My impression is that Grok is very rarely used in practice outside of a niche of die-hard users, partly because of very different tuning to other models, and partly the related pub…

The contrast between the steadily shrinking freedoms in Apple-land and the open computing approach underlying all today's the Valve announcements is fascinating.

That's an impossible model though - you're asking somebody to do unlimited work for you forever, for a fixed one-off price. In that world nobody should ever ever sell a lifetime li…

This typically means they agree you don't get double charged (so you can claim taxes paid in one back in the other) but they both still want you to complete the paperwork regardles…

The way to make this work for real is with a smooth migration path, which means a way to keep running Android apps on your new system. If you want to sponsor Waydroid to help make …

We already have exactly this right now, without digital ids, it's not even theoretical. The government blocks plenty of residents from aspects of society (eg can't work based on vi…

For Spain, for online stuff signatures & verification it's mtls, with a client certificate issued by the government. You can sign documents with it or authenticate with it entirely…

For Spain at least, most banks have foreigner accounts you can open with a passport, and convert into a normal account once you have local id later. It's a mildly unusual setup (an…

They only needed to test with the latest Electron at the time of release (or indeed, any chance version - they're all affected - but latest is a reasonable baseline). If they had, …

That's not true - you can enable developer mode and install apps via ADB without affecting Play Integrity for other apps on your device. You can test this today. Play Integrity is …

Attestation & Play Integrity is having a good go at blocking this: lots of critical software (e.g. the app required to use your bank account) requires certified attested devices, a…

https://httptoolkit.com also worth a look if you're interested in this space: has some neat automated setup for Android MITM that can be much simpler _and_ more effective than the …
