Boycott those stores.

Decent coffee shops offer a discount if you bring a reusable mug, because it saves them a disposable one.

Ballistic Cordura is just a brand name for heavy-duty nylon manufactured by Koch Industries, which has spent millions of dollars on climate change denialism, the Tea Party, anti-vaxx-related campaigns, etc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_the_Koch_brothers

So, you might want to look for wallets made of generic heavy duty nylon rather than Cordura-branded nylon. The fabric will be functionally similar, without bankrolling Charles Koch.

They throw out far more than that in unsold food at the end of the day.

Again, if the store is wasting food, boycott it (or persuade it to stop doing so).

Decent coffee shops partner with local homeless shelters, or food apps / messageboards (Olio, Too Good To Go, …), to find takers for their leftovers.

It’s not really about the cost of the cup.

Indeed, which is why I did not say that it was “really about the cost of the cup”. The latter is, as you correctly imply, only one factor.

Eurostar’s planned double-deckers will be the better way forward, IMO.

@[email protected] everyone seems to be clamouring for the same thing: add "duress profile" to the roadmap. Keep up the good work.

This is by David Revoy, who has started getting wrongly accused of using AI for his art

Great to see Europe leading the way here. If other jurisdictions pass similarly responsible legislation, then those jurisdictions will gain similar benefits.

Just the latest reason to boycott Spotify.

It's still an instructive case:

1. It was foreseeable (and, probably, foreseen by many people at Google) that the tool would be used in harmful ways.
2. Google released it anyway

This is textbook negligence. Unjustified refusal to avoid a foreseeable harm.

That pattern of negligence is the AI boom in a nutshell.

It’s run by Bambu Labs, a Chinese state-subsidised company that’s notorious for nudging users globally to let Internet-connected 3D printers map their home LANs and upload that info, plus name, address & other billing details, plus all their 3D models, to Chinese “cloud” servers where the CCP can siphon off any models useful for advancing Chinese industry.

They’re also notorious for letting Makerworld users rip off each others’ designs in flagrant violation of the design licenses. Look on Reddit or 3D printing forums and you’ll see tons of people complaining about this.

Bambu Labs also recently egregiously violated the AGPL by threatening a lawsuit against Pavel Jarczak, a hobbyist who found a perfectly legal workaround to reduce BL control over people’s printers. This was a big deal: the Software Freedom Conservancy, Louis Rossmann, and Gamers Nexus all pledged action.

Bambu Labs and Makerworld stand for dictatorship, authoritarianism, and kleptocracy.

If you support FOSS, user rights, and democracy, you really ought to boycott them.

I suggest 3 separate fins, in grooves. Stronger, and won't wobble when standing on the fins.

Your rocket's nosecone looks very sharp/pointy. Please round off that and the fin tips. Toddlers can be clumsy; eyes are irreplaceable!

This coverage has a better headline: Trump blames Minnesota governor for cyberattacks against the state. Cites no evidence.

Funding restrictions and denialism, plus starting a war against a cyberattack-capable nation, made infrastructure attacks inevitable.

Security researchers have been publicly raising the alarm about SCADA vulnerabilities for 20+ years.

If you want GrapheneOS without funding Google, why not get a secondhand Pixel?

Nice. It would be good to put the distro name beneath each logo, for people who don’t recognise the logos.

Hopes these white coats show up at the White House real soon.

OS X (obsolete & unsupported since 2018) has more users than macOS?!

Also, where did you get those stats? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/north-america has different numbers to yours.

They might not know it.

But they would, if anyone with your name & address ever:

• Stored it on a Google server. (Maybe a business you once placed an order with uses GSuite?)
• Made a Google/GMail Contacts/Address-book entry with that info. (Maybe you invited a friend or colleague for dinner?)
• Made those details public (land registry, company officer registry, etc).
• Etc.
