Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form'
  • I would strongly assume Protonmail will be doing this automatically soon, there's no manual day-to-day verification necessary.

    Writing to the Blockchain is difficult and takes processing power, reading from it is absolutely trivial though.

  • Senior Citizen Sex
  • Spoken like a true 20 year old who has no concept of what health at 75 looks like. The alcohol hangovers will last multiple days, you might have a lung condition that prevents you from smoking, your circulation will massively shit the bed off stimulants (think racing heart, cold sweats, feeling weak, anxiety) and opioids... well, opioids might be mostly okay except for the constipation I guess. Withdrawals might incapacitate you for months though.

  • It's more likely to be down to incompetence. I can't imagine the party UV lights are more expensive than the fuck-you-up UV lights.

    EDIT: Someone else mentioned these might've been used during COVID for sanitation, and are extremely cheap leftover wares now that the pandemic is "over", which would actually make them a lot cheaper.

  • Korrekt. Die Palästinenser haben sich geweigert, überhaupt an den Verhandlungstisch zu setzen, weil sie einen jüdischen Staat in Palästina grundsätzlich abgelehnt haben. Wenig überraschend haben die Palästinenser dann auch den schlechteren Deal bekommen...

    OP: "Der Konflikt ist nicht so einseitig"

    Auch OP: Beleuchtet die Geschichte ausschließlich aus einem Licht, dass Palästina in die Opferrolle steckt, und vergisst dabei all die Details, die glasklar machen dass Palästina hier auch Täter war und immer wieder geworden ist.

  • Why is X.org not suing bird site X.com?
  • You absolutely can, but trademarks need to be domain-specific. And the social media platform and the window system don't have much overlap in their respective domains.

    Another window system couldn't come along and call itself "X", but a microwave manufacturer very well might be able to.

  • EU moves to outlaw fees on hand luggage, seat allocation
  • At they very least, I think short-distance flights need to be made way more expensive. Like a 70€ minimum ticket price on all flights.

    There's no way in hell we're getting through the climate crisis when a German can pay 20€ for a flight to Mallorca and back, but pays 200€ for a train to the other side of the country.

  • Qwant is unfortunately owned by Axel Springer, truly one of the worst German companies in existence. They're the publisher of the most popular (and unfortunately highly politically biased, filled to the brim with dishonest exaggerations and occasionally straight-up lies) German newspaper Bild.

    Whatever comes out of Qwant if it actually becomes popular, you can rest assured it will be nothing good.

    Just use DuckDuckGo and be done with it.

  • TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it's the 'tip of the iceberg'
  • Currently largest and most successful YouTuber on the platform (by a wide margin), started out by doing challenge videos about himself (24h in ice, that kinda stuff) that he'd invite friends to as the goody sidekicks causing mischief and making his challenges a little harder/more interesting.

    These days, his stuff has transformed into a media powerhouse, all of it is still kinda falling into a challenge category. Now with far higher stakes and involving other people in competitions against each other - think "kids vs adults - group with most people still in the game after 5 days wins $500k" - where several days (sometimes months) of filming all gets cut down to one 10-20 minute long video.

    There's also just "look at this thing" videos like "$1 to $10,000,00 car" where him and his friends check out increasingly expensive cars until they eventually get a whole bridge cordoned off to drive in the most expensive car in the world.

    He does some philanthropy, like his "plant 10 million trees" campaign and makes money through sponsorship deals and advertising his own brands - they're currently running their own line of (fair trade?) chocolate bars that are available (in most places?) in the US, which kids will buy because of the brand recognition, leaving them with a ton of profits.

  • 'They're just meat': Russia deploys punishment battalions in echo of Stalin
  • The Russian "justice" system has a conviction rate of 99.3%. It's safe to say they're giving large swathes of completely innocent people the death penalty here - people who are someone's father, child, or friend.

    Is that the system you see as exemplary for the west? Are these the Russian family values I'm always hearing so much about?

  • Imagine getting hung up on something as trivial as a switch statement. Which is more poignant, I ask you?

    switch(var){
       case 1: 
          <code>;
          break;
       case 2: 
          <code>;
          break;
       case 3: 
          <code>;
          break;
       default:
          <code>
    }
    

    or

    if var == 1:
       <code>
    elif var == 2:
       <code>
    elif var== 3:
       <code>
    else:
        <code>
    

    The performance difference is absolutely negligible, but now you've introduced a bunch of unnecessary indentation (for no benefit) that's gonna get hard to read should you even add a little bit of additional logic, and a footgun with all the break; s.

    And then in JS the syntax for the case-blocks isn't even consistent with the rest of the language.</code></code></code></code></code></code></code></code>

  • Fühlt Ihr euch noch Ost/West? [EDIT]
  • Wär für den Thread hier vllt ganz hilfreich, wenn die Leute sagen würden ob sie aus dem Westen oder dem Osten kommen. Glaube nämlich, Westdeutsche sehen sich viel seltener als solches als Ostdeutsche.

  • Phones should have FM radio again
  • Damn, this seems like exactly what I've been looking for... Shame I'm finding it a year late.

    One last really important point you didn't mention is how long do they serve security updates for?
