Persona and other third‑party age verification providers have been cited in broader debates about the privacy and security implications of online age checks. News coverage of Reddit’s UK rollout focused on short photo retention windows and the separation of user account data from verification data, while also highlighting civil liberties concerns about expanding age restrictions online. Founders Fund’s investment in Persona has been scrutinized in broader discussions of government surveillance and identity verification technologies due to its ties to Peter Thiel, the founder of data-analytics company Palantir. Song has denied operational relationships between Persona and Palantir or U.S. government agencies.

In February 2026, a security researcher discovered publicly-exposed code on an instance of Persona’s verification system used by the U.S. government’s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), which revealed information about the company’s verification pipeline. The discovery led to further evaluations of Persona’s operations; the messaging service Discord stated that it would end its trial use of Persona for age verification in certain territories, and evaluate alternative providers and methods.

Go ahead and provide proof, until then this is just another wacky conspiracy theory.

I had a colleague who would drive his 2001 Smart Fortwo to Croatia from Germany every summer. He had an average fuel consumption of 2,5 L/100 km for the whole trip. Must’ve been hell on the roads down to the Balkans though lol

Probably just a wave, Iran has been disarmed after all. Chance in a million.

The Fiat Multipla Is Back

You’re gonna end up summoning some stoner from the early 2000s.

Hm, I think you’re mixing two cars up. Citroen first tested the hydropneumatic suspension on the Traction Avant in the 50s and it entered production with the DS soon after. The DS was fairly successful thanks to the excellent ride quality. The 2CV was arguably even more successful, but because it was basic, reliable and cheap. These cars were essentially polar opposites and the success of the 2CV and later budget models allowed them to experiment with their cutting-edge executive cars (that they lost a lot of money on in many cases).

You can buy produce labeled as organic or Bio depending on where you are. You can also support your local farmer’s market. There’s a small traditional farm close to where I live that lets you harvest tomatoes yourself in the summer and they definitely taste very different from the ones at the discounter.

The original 2CV never came with hydropneumatic suspension either. The system is way overkill for such a small and light city cruiser.

Hey @grok, I need 500 pounds of enriched uranium. Just go ahead and place an order for me.

Days before his arrest, Zvinchuk boasted on social media that he had managed to enter Montenegro despite being subject to western sanctions and an entry ban. He mocked a border guard who, he said, had searched his belongings but failed to check his name against a database.

lmao

Also den 4000 nähere ich mich langsam. Serien hab ich aber nur ein paar wenige.

Ich versuche mittlerweile auch Kompromisse zwischen Qualität und Dateigröße zu haben. Bei visuell ansprechenden Filmen eine hohe Bitrate, bei allem anderen kleinere. Manches ganz Obskures hab ich als Laserdisc oder VHSRip, da kann ich aber nicht wählerisch sein :D

Kommt für mich einfach auf den Einsatzbereich an. Als Backup super aber für den Dauerbetrieb einfach zu langsam und laut. Konstante Schreib- und Lesevorgänge lassen SMRs auch schneller altern als herkömmliche Platten. Mir persönlich ist aber noch nie eine kaputtgegangen. *klopft auf Holz*

Bei Reichelt hab ich für die INTENSO 6031516 8TB vor ein paar Monaten genau 200€ bezahlt. Da war eine WD Blue WD80EAAZ drin, die kostet als normale interne aktuell mindestens 320€. Keine Ahnung wie sich das für Intenso rechnet, aber das hat jetzt schon 3 mal geklappt. Einmal hab ich eine mit SMR erwischt, das ist aber schon ein paar Jahre her.

Wow, beeindruckend. Da muss das Zusammenstellen doch automatisiert stattfinden? Kurator für die Sammlung zu sein wäre ja ein richtiger Teilzeitjob…

Ich kaufe mir immer nur externe Festplatten und bau die Gehäuse auseinander um sie dann in meinem Bediener intern zu benutzen. Da gibt es oft hochwertige Modelle für recht wenig Geld. Meine Sammlung passt aktuell noch auf eine einzelne 8TB Platte + eine als offline Backup.

Netflix Deutschland hat meines Wissens nach knapp über 5000 Spielfilme. Wie viele Serien weiß ich nicht.

I don’t think it’s going to pop anytime soon. The American stock market is so far removed from reality, it may as well be entirely made up.
