Possible, but I wouldn't really see this as evidence of that in particular. Israel has been conducting subversive actions against Hamas and the Houthis for a long time and something like that pager attack was likely being planned far ahead.
Goverment officials are required to archive all communications, so it doesn't defeat the purposes of E2EE because you can't have full E2EE to start with. If it was propely implemented and didn't get hacked it would be fine. Tho I guess implementation wise if it really sends all the data to a corporate instead of government cloud that's a problem as well.
Yeah but that's an example of tyranny by the majority. Just because a majority of people want something doesn't make it right. In theory I like the idea od banning the AFD, but I'm scared of the potential backlash it could cause and what the consequences could be. In the modern day when people are so segregated in their own bubbles, I feel like this could make them more extremist (“Look, I was right, they're just trying to silence the truth")
Late reply but: Ecosia lets you choose between Google or Bing, but I guess that isn't really your point. The main thing is it anonymises your searches, so you do get some additional privacy. Additionally, the hope is that one day they build their own index. They just recently announced that they're gonna start one with Qwant.
Late to reply but: from what I heard, Kagi is really good at search (at least when it comes to filters and the such, not sure about base results), but it's paid so that's a disadvantage (and also a plus since you don't get ads nor is your data being sold off), and it's US based. DuckDuckGo also uses Bing but I guess they have more sources than just them. In my experience it's about the same, maybe a bit better on DDG, both have shebangs (! for DDG, # for Ecosia) which I find extremely useful.
I disagree. There are many situations where a truck is better suited for transport than a train. The US already has a pretty large freight train network. I agree that there definitely should be more investment in rail as well, but there's no reason for both not to exist at the same time.
This is a concept for a hydrogen powered robot for 2050. There is no shot they're developing this and even if they are it's literally a quarter of a century from now. This is just marketing BS.
Yeah but don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Among other things, they just recently announced that they're starting to build an alternative index with Qwant.
Yeah and it's also probably pretty small runs, so that'd make it even more expensive. I feel like it's a fair price for what it is, would never buy it myself tho.
I mean, your feet typically don't really change size after you grow up? I just buy whatever size I last bought.
Edit: tho to be fair it's not even always the same size because the size that's comfortable highly depends from shoe to shoe, I always have to try on a few pairs to be sure.
What difference does it make for you? If you believe the source then you should believe that they checked that the referenced messages are true. If you don't believe them, what difference is there between using AI or not? They could just as easily made it up themselves. As a tool it can be quite convenient for exactly this usecase and many others, as long as you double-check its output.
