I was wondering how real this statement, so I did the napkin math:

The average american salary is just shy of 60k[1]. If we follow a 50/30/20 budget[2], 20% goes into savings, so 12k. Assuming that the savings of an average person is roughly similar to a company’s revenue, we get 36.46B / 12k ~= 3 million times more revenue per year

So this 1.2B fine is equivalent to: 1.2B / 3M = 467$ for an average American

(I repeat, this is napkin math, but I think it still shows how small the fine is)

Maybe i missed something with the curing, but I think that the whole joke is that smoked salmon is good, and I can get behind that food take 😋

Someday? Canada is already trying to ban the Flipper Zero, we’re living in your nightmare.

Cool, I will be able to solve those advent of code challenges without optimising my code!

I bought Outer Wilds recently (my consumerism couldn’t resist the 40% sale on steam), friends recommended it and I know nothing about it, but only time will tell if I’ll play the game someday or if it’ll stay untouched for years…

They probably could, but I think the risk of directly affecting the normal user experience is too high. That would for example mean that preloading videos will be trickier, and that there is a high chance that there will be a 3 seconds of silence between the ad and the content.

I wasn’t a huge fan of manpages either until I got a kernel class at uni. The man pages for syscalls and library calls are super well made.

Why is Obsidian on the list?? How is a closed source electron app for editing markdown files a good cybersecurity tool/privacy respecting? I could use nano to do the same job with much more confidence for my privacy.

I mean, if a service is free… You’re the product, you’ve never been the customer 🙃

Hello world (or person in this case)

Ok, lemme say the line… NEEEEERRRRDD

(btw what’s that math syntax, that doesn’t look like latex equation mode)

Good bot

Just… Don’t use edge altogether? There are so many browsers with better privacy (librewolf, brave, ungoogled chromium, etc). Any reasons why you want to stick to edge so badly?

That makes 2 of us

Welp I’m of those “windows” users then 😉

Anyone able to read the article without logging in?

Probably if your country judges illegal to connect to the tor network, but not on a VPN. Iirc, a bridge could also hide the fact that you’re connecting to the tor network tho

I can confirm, I’m running Android 13, and whenever I remove notifications permissions to the pebble app, it somehow gets them back by itself and I have that annoyed “connecting” notification opened all the time 🤡

Recently switched from Samsung keyboard to Gboard, and at least Gboard isn’t feeling as sluggish as Samsung… Also the emoji keyboard got a search bar
