They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don’t think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You’ve meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you’re out of subaddresses.

Now you’re vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn’t use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn’t a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.

I see an outline of a QR code in there. How well would that work if someone could just vandalize a single pixel within the code and break it?

From Article 19, Section 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 20, 1989:

States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.

Sadly, the United States (of which Missouri is a state) has only signed, but not yet ratified, this Convention. Still, I think this warrants getting some international attention lest this becomes normalized again.

This has been my experience as well. I’ve wanted to have my main be some sort of Linux for years, but there’s always something that requires hours to try to fix that doesn’t work out of the box. This is primarily due to drivers sucking since most of their focus is on Windows compatibility.

Tried Ubuntu in 2007 on a laptop. Could never get the WiFi to work correctly.

Another Ubuntu on a desktop in 2012. This time it was display drivers causing graphical glitches and crashes that I also couldn’t really fix.

Mint in 2018 and again in 2020. A bit better experience than before, but less driver issues and more software compatibility with individual games that was frustrating, especially third party game libraries (looking at you Ubisoft).

I dunno, maybe it’s a skill issue and I should just “git gud” but I realize that gud is not a valid git command so it doesn’t help me here.

Hmm I thought Toyota was focusing more on Hydrogen powered cars as a long-term strategy rather than EVs.

Insects are taking… Our jerbs???

This trend is bad for the Google brand, and I’m surprised that the higher ups there don’t understand it. Why should I use a Google service and get attached to it if they are going to unexpectedly remove it entirely?

How long until Google Earth gets the axe? Or even Gmail? I’m writing this on my Google Pixel, but they could theoretically just say “naw we wanna leave the phone market” and then may not make the phone any longer or not provide OS or security updates if that is their prerogative.

For such a large tech company, they have the resources to run these services at cost in order to have their users be more valuable to them in the long term.

I’m still bitter about them completely dismantling the original Google Talk desktop application two decades ago (yes they weren’t shortened to app then lol) as it was the best communication platform of its time and had very clear voice comms.

We would probably have a better Supreme Court even if we had arbitrary requirements that make little sense but would be a better alternative to what we have now. For instance:

• All Justices must have the name Horatio (either a given name or by name change). No last names.

• Twenty years of experience required in horticulture, which because of the forementioned name change, is more like horatioculture.

• Must have read at least 3000 books of any type.

• Can juggle an arbitrary amount of oranges on demand.

• Has combat experience in either blunt or bladed weaponry in the event of a zombie apocalypse, with a skill level scaled to their age. Alternatively, skilled in the occult and necromancy (to turn the undead).

• Can create rhythmic song related to the laws being discussed in the event of spontaneous musicals.

Ah that’s probably how they’re able to squeeze Linux out of the market by having it OEM installed at cost.

Not that there are a lot of ordinary people who know what Linux is, much less desire to actively use it if it comes preinstalled on their machine.

There might be some traction if those laptops and desktops were a little cheaper than those preloaded with Windows.

Greta taking town Tate is one of those things that is head canon to me, truth be damned.

Add a small handful of cumin seeds to your batch. It imparts a wonderful aroma and taste to it for such a simple addition.

I’ve used the F710 so that our family can couch co-op in the living room. For a Logitech controller it’s pretty solidly built and is of the era where Logitech peripherals were of good quality (unlike now, rip new G503s). I noticed that the wireless range kinda sucked if it didn’t have direct LOS to the receiver, but it has good rumble feedback and I like the smooth matte black underside material (feels good to the touch).

Toyota UX/UI is pretty good as far as car infotainment systems are designed (referring to the 2023 model year infotainment redesign). Pairing Bluetooth is pretty simple and doesn’t require entering into multiple menus to do so. Android auto integration still got some bugs though.

Part of me wants the apple farmers in Switzerland to leverage their preexisting rightful claim on all things (fruit) apple and go into the computer hardware business to take on Apple, just out of spite.

Why can’t you use your own router? Having to use their router is a huge privacy risk. Yeah, ISPs can already know your internet data but now they’ve got access to your device data too.

Ah but it’s exclusive you see. Your avatar can be a glowy, animated Snoo, whereas everyone else just has free peasant avatars.

For the low price of 105 ETH $(227,389.05). Makes about as much sense as the really high priced ships in Star Citizen.

Whoa there slow down there maestro. New and Improved‽ By golly this thingy gets better and better-er, to which corporate department do I need to make this comically sized check out to?

How did this get normalized? Why is this even something that is even considered debatable? As a society, feeding our children should be the first priority.

I’m flubbered.

If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol
