Specifically, everyone who’s not using Chrome and its derivates did it. Use Firefox, people.

Legit one of the most underrated Firefox features that I use all the time: right-click -> Take Screenshot (or Ctrl+Shift+S). No need to look up the relevant node, just hover the relevant part with your cursor.

Y’all, there’s a full video, this single image doesn’t do it justice: https://birdbutt.com/@barnibu/110995778137311940

They actually did:

The Voyager team sent commands over the weekend for the spacecraft to restart the flight data system, but no usable data has come back yet, according to NASA.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help. So now they’ll have to find out what’s causing this, and then see if they can fix it.

How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

One option would be contextual advertising, rather than advertising based on tracking the user.

(Contextual, as in: if you’re looking at a Formula 1 community, you might be interested in car-related products.)

I think this is the production rollout of https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2021/10/28/implementing-global-privacy-control/

See also https://globalprivacycontrol.org. The difference with DoNotTrack is that this should be legally enforceable in California, IIUC.

They’ve repeatedly stated that they’re working on removing the need to share your phone number with your contacts, but that’s taking some time, because they want to implement it in a way that does not involve storing your entire social graph on their servers.

You’ll still have to sign up with your phone number, but the only thing that can be traced back is that your phone number is registered on Signal - and only by subpoenaing Signal, I believe.

Well, that’s not set in stone yet. If he doesn’t manage to form a coalition (and it’s very much in the realm of possibilities that he won’t be able to), the GreenLeft-Labour Party is next in line. In which case a GL-PvdA/VVD/NSC/D66 coalition (parties #2-#5) is not unlikely. Which I’m guessing would have to make some concessions when it comes to migration, but would probably be OK-ish news for the EU, the climate, and democracy and rule of law.

Telegram is already not encrypted end-to-end encrypted by default. Signal is the interesting app - they don’t even have the data to bow to data requests.
