Yet. Some exec at Microsoft is thinking “the problem is that PCs aren’t locked down like phones and there’s nothing stopping you from running an alt OS on the desktop yet.” If they can’t force everyone to use their AI crap they’ll lobby the US Government and give Donald Trump some fake award, and before you know it desktop Linux will be a crime just like fixing your own tractor is a crime.

The EU, USA and UK will want to find any way to take down Spain’s government since it has shown itself to be genuinely left-wing and governing for the people not the billionaires. Internationally, Spain has stood out lately in holding sane positions that cast a stark light on the corruption and deceitfulness of neoliberals elsewhere. Anyway, that’s to say that we should read criticisms like this of Spain with that background in mind.

Chuck Schumer humiliates himself daily without anyone else’s help.

The cycles seem to be speeding up.

Since they give no indication of how they’re doing it or what information they’re gathering, no one can really explain. It may be some kind of traffic analysis where an AI provides heuristic recognition of probable VPN traffic.

I see they’re promoting something called the Helium network. What’s the relationship between that and Meshtastic? Are they completely different things?

I’d use a Kill-a-Watt or similar to check how much power it uses, before deciding whether it’s worth installing anything on it. Also check how much noise it makes, unless you have a separate room for servers. Enterprise servers aren’t always a good fit for home use.

The thing about this one is no one seems sure of the source (it appears to be from multiple sources, including infostealer malware and phishing attacks), so you don’t know which passwords to change. To be safe you’d have to do all of them.

Some password managers (e.g. Bitwarden) offer an automatic check for whether your actual passwords have been seen in these hack databases, which is a bit more practical than changing hundreds of passwords just in case.

And of course don’t reuse passwords. If you have access to an email masking service you can not only use a different password for every site, but also a different email address. Then hackers can’t even easily connect that it’s your account on different sites.

A password manager is still a good idea, but you have to not use a hacked one. So only download from official sites and repositories. Run everything you download through VirusTotal and your machine’s antivirus if you have one. If it’s a Windows installer check it is properly signed (Windows should warn you if not). Otherwise (or in addition) check installer signatures with GPG. If there’s no signature, check the SHA256 OR SHA512 hash against the one published on the official site. Never follow a link in an email, but always go directly to the official website instead. Be especially careful with these precautions when downloading something critical like a password manager.

Doing these things will at least reduce your risk of installing compromised software.

Yes, I think you just have to show proficiency in one of the official languages.

If you immigrate as an English speaker to Canada you have to take an English proficiency test even if it is your first language.

Presumably once YouTube finishes rolling out age verification, all these age restricted videos will require logging in to view them and anonymous front end appd will be locked out.

This seems unwise.

Your title still says “Kagy” instead of “Kagi”.

Air India has offered an interim compensation payment to Mr Ramesh of £21,500, which has been accepted, but his advisers say this is not enough to meet his immediate needs.

The family fishing business in Diu in India, which Mr Ramesh ran with his brother before the crash, has since collasped, his advisers said.

Spokesman for the family Mr Seiger said they had invited Air India for a meeting on three occasions, and all three were either “ignored or turned down”.

The media interviews were the team’s way of reissuing that appeal for the fourth time, he said.

Mr Seiger added: "It’s appalling that we are having to sit here today and putting him [Viswashkumar] through this.

"The people who should be sitting here today are the executives of Air India, the people responsible for trying to put things right.

“Please come and sit down with us so that we can work through this together to try and alleviate some of this suffering.”

Poor guy. It sounds like he’s really struggling. Air India needs to do right by him and pay him enough for some good mental and physical care. The amount they have paid him isn’t nearly enough, as he could have lifelong problems from the crash.

You can talk horsepower and dogpower all day, but I won’t really understand until you convert it to bananapower, for scale.

All generalisations are great.

If the line is trending higher all the time, that’s going to happen often.
