So you’re saying that tankies=communists?

On GrapheneOS I don’t see those changes, just as a data point.

The battery icon looks the same too

Edit: that could be a GrapheneOS thing though, I don’t know. Maybe they didn’t make those changes, I still haven’t read the changelog

I use TankTube because it automatically blocks anything that interferes with my agenda

I’m going to say all LG laundry stuff must not be created equal. We have two washing machines at work and they both break every month . The only tech I can think of that’s worse are HP printers.

I fix ours (not my job, but it’s a good mental break from regular work), I start a new job next month and my boss asked what he should do about them.

Wait until they break and get something else, they’re not worth fixing. It’ll be cheaper and less downtime to buy something good.

We should not care so much about ourselves and care more about the world

Jackass has a private bunker in New Zealand for when shit hits the fan

The Exodus Report is really good, I would also recommend https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager/ . you can install an app, then check it with App Manager, before first run, which will often find more trackers than Exodus will

Edit: and https://themarkup.org/blacklight for finding trackers in websites

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Malware-ridden apps made it into Google’s Play Store, scored 19 million downloads

That’s .net though, the original is https://www.askjeeves.com/ which still exists and is garbage.

.net uses that custom Google search that’s usually used for searching on a specific site. https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/

It still exists but it’s a content mill. Try a search and the results are all from domains they own.

Good, this bullshit has never made a compelling argument

In its defence, Google argued that since it was not based in Uganda and had no physical presence in the country, it was not obliged to register with the PDPO, and the rules on cross-border transfers of personal data did not apply to it. However, the regulator rejected this argument, determining that Google is a local data controller since it collects data from users in Uganda and decides how that data is processed.

By 10am on Friday, data suggested an extra 66,000 internet users in the UK had begun using the dark web.

“People should be aware that children and adults who use [certain software] to bypass age checks will not benefit from the wider protections offered by our online safety rules.”

Genius

It’s only in the beta v16.28.59.sa.arm64 and only from the launcher

Yes, it was in vitro. Still interesting, and I would imagine will lead to further study.

As I said in the other comment the sugar alcohols are generally benign, I had not read anything to the contrary before.

Read the study abstract in one of the other comments here, it’s based on a single serving of soda. Seems kinda bad, which is interesting because the sugar alcohols are generally benign. They’re non nutritive but most don’t cause any problems except stomach upset in some people. I find they have an off taste, many people do not though.

Edit: can brewing yeasts feed on it? Or are you using it to adjust sweetness level? My brewing experience is limited, I have only used wild yeasts and a few of the Safale strains

Newsweek isn’t great. It’s a sugar alcohol, Erythritol

There are quite a few dryland crops. The rice usually used for Risotto, in this case Arborio, is not one of them.

I’m pretty sure that even if you grew Arborio as a dryland that you couldn’t sell it as Arborio because of DOP. Which would change its flavor, probably its starch balance, and decrease its price.

Did you download this, or was it an automatic update?

Some people have said it was an automatic update, and it then changed their settings

The article does not say that.

This article states That

National guidelines, introduced in January 2024, recommend banning smartphones from classrooms

There is a quote that seems to reference students not having their phones between classes, though it is not said whether they are prohibited or do not have access to them.

in the breaks between the lessons, students would be on their phones and now they’re forced to talk …

Focus is the end goal in the classroom, otherwise why bother going? They are not prohibited from using smartphones in their life, only in class.

Honestly what ‘software restrictions’? You were a kid, I was too, most of us were. What’s the first thing you do when you’re told you can’t do something? You find a way around it.

what did you learn in school today little Timmy?

i learned to drop tables tunnel into a VPN so I could watch Reels in class
