The problem was that one of his friends was connected to the airport's public Wi-Fi, so the photo ended up with British intelligence.

This doesn't make sense at all, it all goes over encrypted connections, the airport's wifi doesn't act as a hoover for data, they can't decrypt it without the private keys. Muuuuch more likely is that Snapchat cooperates with Five Eye's intelligence, apparently screening private chats for key phrases and forwarding them on to governments.

The thing is, Google Play doesn't have that for each app it updates. If I can choose to trust Google Play, I should be able to choose to trust F-Droid in that regard.

Note that third party app stores like F-Droid still aren't first-class citizens like Google Play, since every installation still needs to be confirmed by an os popup, they can't automatically install updates on most phones.

This needs a lot more examples and proper sourcing.

Imagine having an obscene amount of money for the rest of your life, and the thing you decide to do is to invent more devices and methods to kill people.

There might be settings in the bios that allow you to disable the graphics card, not halt on errors or disable the internal screen, but they're not usually exposed on laptop BIOS, they're quite locked down.

They might have been required to, under the terms they negotiated.

You say consenting adults, the bill says one of them can be as young as 13 years...

nick picking Heh. Freudian slip?

I always wondered what would happen if an army of accountants took over an engineering-heavy company and just gutted the engineering culture for profit...

It's more that your phone has one accidentally registered you typing it capitalized and remembered it as a "name", deleting that suggestion allows it to reverts to the non-capitalized version.

Long press on the wrong suggestion usually gives you an option to delete it from the dictionary.

IIRC the NY subway is infamous for running on ridiculously outdated, patchwork tech because they aren't allowed to shut down long enough to implement the necessary modern improvements, nor does the MTA get the funds to do so.

There are plenty of subway systems where this could never have happened.

Fuuuck I read Hader for a second and my heart stopped.

Add SponsorBlock for in-video sponsors while you're at it!

It's the beauty of the fediverse

All GTA definitive editions suck. Stick with the originals.

It's surprising how much Hackers imagery is in all the results.

I tried Kagi for a while but it wasn't as good as Google or DDG for me, especially in my native language. Too bad, I'd love paying for search.

Man, I worry about the victims and innocent associates getting caught up in this. Surely those powerful enough to rape kids with Epstein were powerful enough to fight to keep their name out of the disclosure, a possibility mentioned in the article?
