I don't know. My ISP doesn't know. And I won't bother interacting with Google's non-existing support.

My solution is moving away from YouTube whenever possible, for instance subscripting to podcast instead when a creator has a podcast with the same content.

YouTube has blocked a bunch of IP ranges, including residential ones, forcing people to use an account to watch videos. So self-hosting isn't an option for everyone.

No source is visible in the post. I don't know if that's an issue with my client, or an oversight.

Privacy Badger focus on blocking trackers. uBlock origin blocks all kind of things Ads,Trackers,etc and so it have a higher risk of breaking sites.

Yes, they're mostly redundant. Happy uBlock Origin users should probably keep using just uBlock. People who don't use uBlock to avoid breaking websites, or just want to block trackers, should use Privacy Badger.

I strongly recommended installing EFF's Privacy Badger on your and your relatives browsers.

This stops many trackers, and causes less side effects and less breakages than most filters (unlock et all).

You can't make moderation mistakes if you stop moderating. tap head with finger

A planned lecture at China’s Nankai University was abruptly cancelled in January, reportedly due to “scheduling conflicts.”

Is he scheduled to visit a "reeducation" camp?

Japan's JPCERT released IOCs for MirrorFace malware earlier https://blogs.jpcert.or.jp/en/2024/07/mirrorface-attack-against-japanese-organisations.html

Kudos to them. Sharing IOCs and samples with other CERTs and vendors is important to protect others who may be targeted.

I'm starting to think using fossil fuel, and having a strong dependency on other countries for energy supply, may not be a good idea after all.

He said there was no risk of Slovakia itself suffering from gas shortages, as it had already made alternative arrangements.

This isn't about Slovakia's own gas supply. The article give some hints regarding Fico's motivations.

This might also apply to many news article for software vulnerabilities.

If it's not a 0day, a patch is already available. So users shouldn't do anything particular if there's (semi)automatic update, which is the case for Win, iOS, and many Linux distributions.

It's worth people's attention if it's a critical 0day where user need to mitigate manually, or if users need to update manually due to lack of auto update.

Rest of the world: We're deprecating C++ due to lack of memory safety. Please consider doing something for safety.

C++ commite: Here's a new convenient operator to make it easier to do a potentially unsafe, multi-level pointer dereference.

You should know when and how you are being tracked, and you should have an easy-button to say thanks, but no thanks.

Opt-out!? That's not even close to being a good solution.

Your data should not be collected, and you should not be tracked, UNLESS you agree yo it, ie opt-in, AND data collection is proportional/appropriate for the stated goal.

That's the spirit of GDPR.

The speaker of the house is in the presidential line of succession, right after the VP. So that's a fair question. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession

You're probably being sarcastic, but I can't help it and have to say it: "traditional values" are obviously not a solution to this epidemy. The solution include more prevention and testing.

No one deserve to get infected, not even one's worse enemy. This is contagious and will also harm neighbouring countries.

It's going to make even more nurses run away, when many places are lacking nurses.

Google Play Store is becoming less and less viable for OSS. Thankfully F-Droid support sharing apps to nearby devices.

A significant hairdresser budget goes a long way toward making Strange New Worlds. The federation wouldn't stand a chance without the captain's magnificent haircut.
