Mods, can we please delete posts that are just screenshots of headlines without linking to the actual article?
Downvoted for dumbing down our platform. We're better than this..

Man, fuck Turkey

What are your thoughts on the French riots?
I cannot find if Nahel HAS any criminal record or not.
This is completely irrelevant. What happened I the psst could in no way justify him being murdered. Don't even play into this oppressive narrative. It doesn't matter.
All that matters is if this kid was a legitimate threat to the lives of the officers that night. And he was not.

Great! Surely they'll cut funding to the US military too, right?

Go to the snap site and try to find a security section that describes how snap packages are signed. You won't be able to find it because it doesn't exist, and they don't highlight their own security vulnerabilities.
What I can cite is how this should work, for example how apt signs all packages by default
Note how in the above doc there's a message
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
...
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
That doesn't exist in snap because snap does not authenticate downloads. It'll just happily install something maliciously modified.

Death by LLM: Stack Overflow's decline, and its plan to survive, shows the future of free online data in an AI world
God the narrative of Business Insider is gross.
The only thing making SO decline is that they have a CEO. And that CEO is trying to "compete".
Just keep being a great platform for Q&A and stop chasing profits. People prefer SO because the ansewrds are trustworthy. LLMs will always bullshit you and never be better than a platform free of AI crap.

What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?
Reply in thread
Because my ISP is in a country where they can legally sell my data. My VPN is not.
And my VPN provider doesn't know who I am.

The "Backlash" to Plant-Based Meat Has a Sneaky, if Not Surprising, Explanation
It was almost as if the meat industry orchestrated the whole thing itself.
It did.
... “As a nutrition scientist I have one view…Processing per se isn’t bad. What is bad is food that has no nutritional value.” (Or, in the case of red meat, food that raises your risk of several chronic diseases.)
Nail on head

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
Yes. Most of my contributions are "drinking water" (public water fountains) and "restrooms"
I've been meaning to ask: what's the appropriate POI for a normal 115/220 power outlet socket?

How does using Matrix compare with using Signal, privacy-wise?
Matrix can't be forced to put backdoors into their software because they are not s company. Signal can.

What are your thoughts on the French riots?
This is people responding to police murder. Call it what it is. It's an uprising, not a riot.

This is why we need to add items to the Bill of Rights. We need to pass laws that explicitly prohibit such legislation.
