Contactless payments use the EMV protocol. Leaking the cc number is bad, but happens all the time. An actual payment athorisation replaces both PIN and signature. The victim's bank will argue that the victim authorised the transaction at the POS.
I did. Occasionally visit old.reddit.com put of nostalgia, but never logged in, never controbute. It's not as busy here, but i like it. Lemmy has an OG nerd feeling to it.
So, Apple breaks all multipoint devices unless all connection are from Apple devices? Weird.
I settled on different headphones for pc/linux and phones. I can't afford to have an important call interrupted by something less important from an other device. Also switching from phone to linux takes to much fiddling.
Scholz is right that nuclear is dead in German. Nuclear is always political and there's no stable political majority pro nuclear. This has nothing to do with the technology. It just won't happen.
Most entreprises, energy or else, are privately run and financed. Capitalism. Nuclear is private on paper, but no one is going to build reactors without governent support. Many industries are regulated, like banking, but they are still driven by profit motives, private interest. At least in Germany, there's no entrepreneurial mindset behind nuclear. Rent seeking business people and lobbyists, sure. But not risk takers. The businesses lobbying pro nuclear are lead by ex-politicians and similar types who secretly want a safe government job.
Nuclear is dead and it's not the biggest problem. The much bigger elephant in the room is that we mostly talk about renewables. Sure, renewals grow, but nowhere near the rate needed. Everyone can see this, the data is available, and we just don't give a shit.
And don't get me started on hydrogen. Doesn't make sense to even consider hydrogen unless you have a huge surplus on (preferably renewable) energy.
You are ideas are good, but Mastodon is already Mastodon. It's a weak brand for the general public, but a strong one for those who adopted Mastodon already. All those Fediverse applications have quirky names, but for some that's a feature. We actually Aunt Sally on Facebook and Trump on X, not here.
I totally dig the bird metapher, though. Maybe all those birds will flock to where the Mastodon lives. They're different, but they get along. And the old mamooth is providing free nests for all bird species so why not give it a try.
Someone should clarify if this
