  • Giant 'spiderwebs' on Mars contain tiny egg-like structures that scientists 'can't quite explain,' new photos reveal

    Jump

  • Usually when data collection happens, scientist cannot quite explain it for some time, until they can.

    This is really pure sensationalism, adds zero information to the article.

  • No More Neutral ⚛

  • I seached the answer online to better understand the meme, and that's one of the first results.

    Sorry if that's AI generated. I didn't search for AI generated answer, and didn't ask ChatGPT, this is sadly what seach results looks like nowadays.

    Will gladly edit the top comment if you can suggest a better article.

  • Age verification online can be done safely and privately. Here's how

    Jump

  • That approach is indeed easy to break, not privacy friendly. But also, it's not what this article is referring to.

    For example, the German eID exchanges data directly between a microprocessor in a person's plastic "eID card" and the platform. The microprocessor proves it belongs to a government-issued eID via a cryptographic key, which is shared with 9,999 other eIDs. This means the only thing a platform learns is that one of 10,000 potential people signed up.

  • Be Wary of Bluesky

    Jump

  • Also, those central components are controlled by the USA-based Bluesky corporation.

    This allows that country' law enforcment and agencies to get their hands on all that data regardless of where it's hosted (cf Cloud Act). A gag order can prevent Bluesky from speaking out (cf Gag order) so we would never know.

  • Age verification online can be done safely and privately. Here's how

    Jump

  • Are you referring to a verification service running on the user's device, or on a third party providers' server?

    Running a verification service on the user's device can't work, regarless of the approach. The software on the user's device can be altered to give fake results.

    Relying on a third party service to do remote verification imply trusting that third party isn't giving fake results, regarless of the approach.

    The company/org that needs to verify age should run the actual age verfication, ideally using a privacy-friendly method and a free reference implementation that got scrutiny from the public. It requires only trusting the gov issues acvurate ids, and trusing the math.

  • Age verification online can be done safely and privately. Here's how

    Jump

  • The real choice is not between safety and privacy. It is between two very different technical paths. One path normalizes biometric (face, fingerprint, and similar) checks, expanding the amount of sensitive data handed to private companies.

    Seeing how it's currently done, the market has chosen expanding the amount of sensitive data collected by private companies, which I assume is more profitable.

  • Chris Wright is wrong

  • GTK4 wrapper for Microsoft office 365

    Jump

  • That could be handy for poor souls forced to use Microsoft office/copilot 365.

    Thinking of it, it would be even nicer to have an office theme for LibreOffice/onlyoffice/... to migrate away from office without management noticing.

  • Beef and lamb get 580 times more in EU subsidies than legumes, study finds

    Jump

  • It found beef and lamb were subsidised 580 times more than legumes in 2020, while pork was subsidised nearly 240 times more. Dairy, meanwhile, received 554 times more in subsidies than nuts and seeds.

    This shows in shops price. Beef price/kg is similar or lower than appetizers with seeds and dried fruits. The later deserves more subsidies not less, for obvious reasons (lower environmental impact, better for health, longer shelf life).

  • Canadians say U.S. no longer an ally, is bigger threat than Russia: poll

    Jump

  • The US king-wanabee made threats to take over Canada. I don't recall Russia making a similar threats. So that's totally expected and understandable from canadians.

    It takes effort to appear more dangerous and threatening than Russia. The USA succeded.

  • Podcasts too rule

    Jump

  • When seeing an ad, I always think they have too much products in stock, or that the thing isn't good enough to sell without heavy marketing.

  • The world’s rainforests are vanishing. In this one country, they’re growing back. How Costa Rica beat back deforestation and bucked the global trend

    Jump

  • The article links to recordings of Costa Rica's' forets. Those are 30 minutes recording of ambient noise, wind and flora, each tied to a specific location on a map.

    Those make for great ambient sound for reading, or for falling asleep (set a timer!).

  • Macron says French nationals fighting for Israel in Gaza can't be ‘genociders’

    Jump

  • Let a court dedice who's a genocider.

  • Donation platform

    Jump

  • The platform that works closest to this is https://www.liberapay.com/

    It used to allow making 1 monthly payment and spreading it between projects. But they had to change to comply with banking/payment platform rules so each money transfer is directed to one beneficiary from the get go. Meaning you setup a recurring payment per project.

    There's also the nlnet foundation https://nlnet.nl/

    It's possible to give them 1 recurring payment to support OSS projects. But they manage how the money is split between projects and their own overhead. You don't pick the projects.

  • Orbán says the EU and not Russia is Hungary’s real threat ahead of April vote

    Jump

  • Orban is ramping his deceiful rhetoric ahead of difficult elections. Making sutff up to scare people, for instance

    Orbán has campaigned on the unsubstantiated premise that the EU would send Hungarians to their deaths in neighboring Ukraine if his party loses

    The best thing that could happen is Orban loosing to a less extremist candidate, not Hungary leaving the EU.

    We can only hope Hungary citizens don't reelect an extremist.
