Blijkbaar is het een woord dat vooral gebruikt wordt in het oosten en noorden vh land.

1 is een pollepel, 2 een sleef.

Guns are for weak people who want to feel powerful.

the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants

And yet, it’s the would-be tyrants who are armed to the teeth.

You already have a cryptographically secure government id: your passport.

I still think housing is a human right.

I’ll bet he doesn’t

Exactly. They should take everything, he should only be allowed to keep one pair of clothes, but that’s for our benefit so we wouldn’t have to look at his ugly naked ass. When he’s living on the street, eating from the trash, and someone hands him some change, that should be taken away from him immediately. He should not be allowed to own a single cent until his entire debt is paid off.

Reminds me of this comic, in Dutch but the translation is right below it (for all the dumbasses who can’t read Dutch)

Apple and Google are working together as part of the GMSA committee on RCS to add encryption to the standard, instead of using Google’s proprietary incompatible extension for e2ee.

It’s probably going to take a while due to the whole process needed to add it to the standard, which is also why RCS in general is a terrible idea: you can’t really innovate if everything you want to improve has to go through this whole layer of bureaucracy.

Encryption is supposed to come when the working group has aligned.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

The whole RCS thing is a Bad Idea™ . It’s a standard by the GSM Association, which consists of over 1150 members (750 operators and 400 other companies). Getting all these companies to align will take forever.

To illustrate: the RCS initiative was started in 2007 and the steering committee was formed in early 2008. The first version of the Universal Profile, that would enable interoperability between different operators and networks was released in 2016. It took 8 f-ing years to come up with an interoperable messaging standard to replace SMS. It was intended to be implemented by operators, but since hardly any operator did Google had to run their own service, bypassing the network operators, just to get it off the ground. Operators are now slowly beginning to support it.

If Apple decides to add a feature to iMessage, they implement the feature, roll out an update to their servers and release it to a billion users in the next iOS update. If they want to add a feature to RCS, they first have to discuss it in the committee until they agree on a solution, this alone takes forever. Then every player needs to update their software to add support. This means potentially 750 operators who need to update their shit, and that is after their software suppliers add support for it. In the mean time, the new feature will work for some users when they communicate with some other users, depending on which phone and operator each party has. Rinse and repeat for every new feature you want to add.

This means RCS will at best only ever be a very basic messaging service. It’ll be an improvement over SMS and MMS, but that’s not saying much. It will be in no way a threat to Apple’s dominance in messaging.

TOS

Exactly, and I just throw my dick over my left shoulder so it doesn’t get tangled up in the chain.

Exactly. These sanctions take some time to be felt. Russia is also very selective in what economic numbers it publishes. They are also artificially keeping up the exchange rate of the ruble.

These are all things that you can only keep doing for so long and it makes the crash afterwards even worse. Basically: they can pretend everything is all-right in the short term, but they have to screw themselves over in the long term to do so.

If you're using the built in speakers on any device, you deserve the bad audio quality lol.

It’s possible to make good built in speakers. The MacBook Pros sound great, even the new iPads sound way better than you’d ever expect from such a thin device. My 13” M4 iPad Pro even has decent bass, it’s ridiculous.

Is it as good as a stand alone amplifier with two tower speakers? No, of course not. But I’m not bringing those along with me either.

Russian oil\gas\etc revenues have grown.

Is that why Gazprom posted its first annual loss in 20 years? a loss of $6.9 billion. Because revenues have grown so much?

Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.

We obviously like different kinds of games. A large part of the games that interest me are PS5 exclusives, at least at launch.

Roguelikes.

Roguelites.

Chess.

Deck builders.

Not my cup of tea.

More broadly, games with different narrative choices (eg: Witcher 2 has two mutually exclusive middle acts).

I kinda like it that it makes my decisions in the game more impactful. If you're going to go back and play the other option anyway, then it kind of makes the decision meaningless.

Even a great movie is worth watching multiple times of its story has any appreciable depth.

That sounds more like a you problem.

I see you don't replay games, so why even own a console if you only play a game once?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. If I don’t play a game multiple times I shouldn’t play it at all?
