Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

These are conscious beings. Imagine being trapped in a lab where the next time you wake up you might not have full motor function?

$80 for AAA games is already super expensive. I buy most of my games on sale now.

I really enjoyed this story format. It showed the strength of photographic journalism

Does it make sense that a privacy VPN has 4 tracking scripts and 5 third party cookies on their website? https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=privateinternetaccess.com&device=mobile&location=us

Mullvad has 0.

What if you were a woman who had a miscarriage and the trackers got ahold of that information from your search and browsing habits on planned parenthood (which has a LOT of third party trackers and cookies)? Would you like to see ads of what could have been your baby for eternity?

This information could be sold to insurance providers and your premiums could go up since you’re more of a “health risk”.

There are endless avenues where your data could end up and affect your life in the real world.

It's a real channel called Hiding In My Room for those who are curious

Encrypted DNS can help minimize the amount of information available to your ISP. Most ISPs block and log your traffic through DNS queries since it's the easiest. By encrypting your DNS traffic, the ISP can't see what domain you're trying to find. Although, if they are motivated enough, they can sniff the SNI headers from your TCP traffic.

I'd stay away from Google DNS as they log it for themselves.

Use something like Quad9.net or Control D.

Google datacenters are global. They store petabytes of data in each and are constantly evolving to Google Cloud customer needs and their own, meaning they are always expanding their storage network with new servers and drives.

In addition to the hardware expansion, YouTube engineers are experimenting with ways to encode videos in much more efficient formats, such as AV1. Basically, encoding is how a video is stored. The engineers are trying new standards to retain original video quality in much smaller file sizes, leading to more video storage capacity without the need to upgrade servers as quickly.

Quad9 is based in Switzerland where privacy laws are stricter, most notably the one where they cannot cooperate with foreign intelligence agencies without approval from the Swiss government. Quad9 keeps no logs, while Cloudflare does for 25 hours.

These actions are further diminishing the public's trust in them.

This is a rem only household

I don't understand why they went with free domains in the first place. Freenom is known for being unreliable.

Go. It's high level enough in terms of syntax that it's easy to build complex apps in, and low level enough that I'm able to control pointers, manually run the garbage collector, and benefit from the runtime performance.

It's the best of python and JS.

They'd have to pay for quite a few things...

  • Housing near the office (I'm literally in another country lol)
  • Uber rides to/from
  • Food at the office

Steam Deck stops charging below 100% to preserve battery health. It's normal

And house arrest is being used for mass incarceration of people being ACCUSED before conviction. The punishment can be more severe before conviction.

This whole situation is saddening. She was betrayed and manipulated by those closest to her, and those consequences will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Her parents should be investigated and prosecuted for child abuse.

Closed, locked, blocked and ARMED. what if the monsters have telekinesis to lift the blockade?

Dr. Twitter???

The system is pretty straightforward: each item, in this case mostly clothing, gets an RFID tag that looks like a normal clothing tag. Customers come into the store, pick out what they want, and walk through an “exit gate” that scans the tags and tallies up the bill.

RFID protected bags 🔥🔥🔥

Usually the plan is to go to China and then flee to a friendlier country. There are also people in China who work with North Koreans to help them defect.

Please buy one... They're so inexpensive

Nothing can stop 100% of bots. The goal with captchas like Turnstile is to use a significant portion of your resources to the point it's expensive and slow to perform an attack.

Turnstile runs many background checks on your browser, so headless browsers automatically become futile.

JavaScript PoW challenges are performed that take up multiple seconds of execution time, memory and CPU. This alone is a deterrent because sequential attacks become extremely long to execute.

Concurrent attacks are still unfeasible because Turnstile ups the difficulty if it detects something is up, and receiving requests from thousands of botnet IPs is bound to trip an alarm.

I truly pity people who work at tech companies that use Teams. It's genuinely a horrible app.

I think for a lot of engineers, their productivity would be much higher at home. In the office you have way more distractions and time wasters, like coworkers, physical meetings, etc. Even if employees at home are scrolling social media, they're going to procrastinate in office too, just in a different way, whether that's just sitting and doing nothing or going out for lunch on a really long break.

America won't achieve that with such low tax rates

I've spent over 2,000 hours on YouTube this year alone and am in the target demographic of this study. I watch a lot of videos in the background while I work, commute, or just chill, to keep myself stimulated.

Although not all of the content I watch is necessarily educational, a grand majority of it is. Whenever there's a science video in my feed, I'll probably click it. I'm subscribed to Veritasum, TED, Vox, No Boilerplate, etc.

Read You looks beautiful

I'm part of the Ente team. Thanks for letting us know. I've passed this along.

It's the Lemmy loading indicator. OP is saying they keep running into slow loading times, probably because their instance is overloaded.

It's actually pretty difficult still if you're using secure hashing functions like Argon2 and bcrypt because they're hard on memory and computational power, meaning brute force attacks are pretty much infeasible, both due to hardware requirements and long hashing times.

put.io is pretty popular

You could start your own VPC data center with this lmao
