  • Do you have problems reading this? On mobile I use ironfox, but I can read this fine with chromite too. I am in 'France' using Orbot. I also have tailored DNS blocking.

    This is an honest question because I never have issues with the Guardian, with Cromite I occasionally get a 'Please register/ I'll do it later' message. With ironfox I don't even get that.

  • Isn't it not just cheap rice, but cheap Japanese rice? People in Asia are very particular about rice. They should be, rice from Japan, China, Cambodia, Taiwan, etc. all have a different taste. Nationalism plays in to it, but they are different. I think rice might be the ultimate Terroir crop.

  • The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

    Gilmore's quote was true then, it is not the current state of play.

    If you need to use banking/government/transit apps, you need to play by the rules now

  • To start Condemned Nast sucks.

    But ProPublica partners with arstechnica, there must be a reason for that. Articles that originate from ProPublica are given full credit on arstechnica, this isn't like the Verge rewriting a few sentences then saying as reported by at the end.

    Scharon Harding has also done a good job reporting on Reddit, here's a post about the API nonsense.

    With this quote

    Reddit's sudden rollout of high prices is a needlessly painful way of reminding the community who makes the rules

    While I can believe that Conde Nast manipulates Reddit, I don't believe this is anti ProPublica

  • When they said it was going to be refloated and serviceable in a month. It's basically scrap at this point. WWII ships you could salvage, modern stuff is kilometres of cabling connected to computers. Fix the hull and replace everything inside. Unless this isn't as advanced as it's made out to be.

  • If it is not getting updates then it isn't getting vendor security patches, it will still get Google Play Services and Android System Webview patches assuming those are enabled.

    I wouldn't use any kind of banking or payment apps, so anything linked to an account from which money can be directly debited. That can be a lot of things from EBay to highway toll collection to paying for coffee.

    I'm not trying to fear monger but it's time mom got a new phone. Use this one for streaming in the kitchen, or give it to a niece. Locked down of course.

    Edit: that's if it's Android, if it's iOS it will not get any patches once it's end of life.

  • I'd agree with that, both are problematic.

    A lot of stubs should be deleted until they are expanded, they're often more confusing than knowing nothing at all. I don't think an LLM summary will help here though.

    Reading a few articles deep is not only a pain in the ass, but is going to dissuade those who won't do it. There's also the issue that when you do wade in it might link to something that is poorly cited and confusing. Again, I think an LLM is going to make things worse here.

  • "This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture," Musk added. And here's where the skeptics and cryptocurrency fans in the digital town square pounced: There ain't no encryption on the Bitcoin blockchain.
