Conversely, you can now have your manifesto written by a locally run LLM.

737-300, so not a new plane. Don’t think this has much to do with the current Boeing problems. Probably maintenance issues at the charter firm, or pilot error.

Meh, Reuters, which is pretty much the mainstream western source, has been relatively good on calling out Israel, and even funded an independent investigation that found that the IDF probably purposefully shelled one of their journalists.

Doesn’t mean that having a wider variety of sources isn’t still good, of course.

When I’m logged in, the few shorts they show me tend to be from channels I’m subscribed too. If I go to the homepage incognito (back when they still showed you stuff when you rejected their terms) it was mostly either shock value, expensive stuff, sexualised stuff, sports. So lowest common denominator stuff, I guess.

Dang, that’s a lotta dong.

Don’t they have a really good safety record? They’re cheap, and the user experience isn’t great, but I never heard anything about aafty problems.

Thanks for clarifying. I was mostly trying to apply that scenario to a likely real world one, but there’s definitely cases in which it could be two factor.

Hmh, I guess, though I feel this is a bit more complicated. What if you can look up the username in the registration mail sent to the inbox? Or it’s a site that uses email addresses as usernames? Is it knowing if said knowledge is inferrable from the thing you have?

Bitwarden inserts them automatically, and if I ever have to do it manually for some reason, it just doubles the fun. Hasn’t happened to me yet, though.

I have relatively long Passwords, because why not, and had problems with pages restricting the number of characters you can enter in the login window, but not the registration window. Or restricting password length and cutting your password off, but not telling you about it, so you gotta figure out that they set the first 30 characters of the saved password as your password.

Always fun to deal with. I could make it a lot easier for me by just using shorter passwords, but I think deep down I’m a masochist.

But you only need one factor, access to your inbox?

As has been stated already, past prohibitions didn’t really work out that well.

I’d also add that ‘mind-altering substances’ is casting a really wide net, and could be argued to include stuff like caffeine.

I personally like Portugals approach of decriminalisation, because I think criminalising these substances usually hurts people addicted to them most, while helping those wanting to profit of addiction.

I don’t smoke pot, I don’t like the smell, I had edibles like twice in my life, and don’t plan on repeating the experience.

I still think that there is little logical reason to forbid people from consuming, and that it is especially hypocritical to do so while alcohol and tobacco are legal, and freely available.

Yeah. I’ve gotten so tired of checking all the sources in algorithmic news feeds that I went back to an rss feed of news agencies, and trusted papers. Media landscape kinda sucks.

Funnily (well, not really, but what can we do but laugh), the other cited source, businesses insider, is also an Axel Springer publication. As is Politico, Morning Brew, and some other stuff.

So they aren’t just a German problem anymore, they’re now everyone’s problem.

That article gets really depressing really fast.
