I’m adding the ones I have to home assistant, which is what I was planning all along. Maybe add some other brand smart lights, not sure yet which

Awesome timing, was about to add a whole lot of them to my new house, guess that ain’t happening

Never thought I would be of use in the military, guess I have been training all along

Strange thing is that they are not even valuing their own privacy. Adding “backdoors” to E2E encryption, or whatever that means, will also impact them. If a backdoor exists, malicious parties will find and exploit it. Legislators own messages, videos, photos and other media will no longer be safe either

… proceeds with another yearly installment of game X that could have been released as DLC, but instead built it as “a new game”, selling at 1 cent per bug.

Thanks for the insight!

No clue, I’m a Dutch citizen. Do your require to do an iris scan to get a passport in the USA? Might be covered there.

Its been here for decades. It was already mandatory to provide an iris scan upon arrival in the US back when I visited New York in 2013. At the time, I was already baffled it was a requirement and wasn’t happy, but at that moment there is nothing else to do then comply. The US probably has a very big iris scan, fingerprint and passport database of at least the western world.

Glad to see that the bullshit jobs are replaced first!

Every artificially created ingredient has a code, for instance here in Europe we have ingredients listed as E-numbers. These ingredients are often used to replace organical/natural ingredients. You will see that if you buy pasta sauce in the grocery store, they’ve probably added some E-numbers to make the color of the sauce more red. These ingredients are not necessary at all, these are either marketing instruments to make the food look more “tasty” or to replace a more expensive product with a replacement chemical. We don’t know the long-term effects of these artificially added ingredients yet, but what I do know is that I know more and more people with allergies related to these artificial ingredients.

Most countries don’t have free healthcare. But require people to be insured. E.g here in NL you have to have atleast basic coverage costing roughly 140 euro a month

It’s mainly because the titles are being released on pc anyway (with some delays)

2028 it is then.
I tried buying the PS5 when it released, and couldn’t get my hands on one for nearly a year. Then I saw the content lagging and decided not to buy the PS5. I still don’t see why I would want a PS5 today. I got a fairly decent PC, so that can carry me for another 5 years or so

Yeah same, pretty sure the Russian branch of our company is separated now. Perhaps it is mainly represented because contractual obligations couldn’t be broken as easily

The real marketing trick is making you believe it is a cookie, and not some mixture of weird chemicals and ingredients that can only be identified by a code.

Funny thing is that in our “regional delivery center” in Romania, most developers are woman, and CS is a very desirable study for woman there

37m in one country. Considering the size if the market share in Norway, this is quite a huge fine. If only other countries would do the same. Imagine 37m x 160 or so countries where Meta is active

It will be difficult to switch my friend groups again, now that they are finally on Signal

I don’t want it to turn into Telegram, just give me a lightweight, secure and privacy focused messaging app.
