Either this article is poorly researched, the study is scuffed, or both. It isn't the uniform but the type of which that the school enforces. There are plenty of schools with gender neutral uniform policies, heck the one I went to in Aus had 3 options, one of which is sports specific for all genders.

Ah yes, just Australian wildlife things. We don't have currawongs up here in QLD but we still have butcher birds earning their namesake.

Same with Express/Nord VPN sponsorships. Many people debunked the adverising BS they were spinning about blocking tracking when really it only masked a tiny subset.

As someone who studied infosec, those ads were infuriating. Now I just sponsor block it all because I'm beyond tired of it.

God help us all if we have to break out the Emus

It'd be like the phone equivalent of Linux's diagonal monitor orientation, only now the touch screen experience is beyond fucked.

Strangely enough this might work for round smart watches though.

Is it just me or are these stories getting a little bit 'competitive' on the worst possible accusations with lessening citations. All I could find on this are 15+yr old articles and Instagram/Tiktok influencers.

With a couple of tweaks you got yourself the Zoomer app edition of Mortal Combat.

We have truly distilled humanity's confident stupidity into its most efficient form.

Hahaha, I wish.

You would be amazed at how ancient and poorly maintained many web servers are on the modern internet. SQL injection still consistently make the top 3 web app vulnerabilities as of 2021. If that isn't being sanitized properly I don't expect emojis would be handled much better.

Through a low tech social engineering attack referred to as SIM Jacking, an attacker can have your number moved to their SIM card, redirecting all SMS 2FA codes effectively making the whole thing useless as a security measure. Despite this, companies still implement it out of both laziness and to collect phone numbers (which is often why SMS MFA is forced)

Usually it's the scammer probing to see if the charge will go through before hitting it with ever increasing amounts until someone or something flags it. Sometimes it's made out to be some common subscription service, hidden fee, or included tip. Good that you caught it early.

I'm inclined to agree, otherwise it would be like calling a FPV kamakazi drone a missile.

Naming aside, kinda terrifying that these could theoretically be travelling autonomously far deeper than any sub thanks to the lack of a pressure vessel.

Only if you call the deep-throating spez is giving him 'mentoring'. It's starting to make WSB loss porn look mild in comparison to the ongoing conga line of platform self-destruction.

You assume that the state ever took responsibility for their role in Chernobyl. To them that was all someone else's fault just as it will be Ukraine/NATO's fault for setting off the mines and not bending a knee to Russia's demands. Real-world logic doesn't make sense to them, never has.

Pretty sure there is a self hosted version already. Seen a couple of Twitch streamers use it so I see no reason an instance couldn't run one with lemmy logins.

I opted to switch to NewPipe and YMusic and haven't looked back since.

Oh it was so much worse than that. Google indirectly banned every 3rd party app on the Play Store from streaming videos in the background to push that feature. Seemingly overnight every app that could do it vanished or cut the feature. Sure you can sideload a fix but your average non-savvy users got screwed into paying up.

Oh absolutely. I just use it as an example because it's one of only a few heavily restricted subs that hasn't yet been purged by admins.

Lets also not forget the massive amount of OS versions, hardware variants, resolutions, and localisations apps like Discord need to auto-adjust themselves to work with. If it fails it will absolutely need that info in the report so devs can fix it.

This is why though I appreciate what DDG is doing, it's not informing users about the context of what these permissions are used for, leading to a lot of fear over the wrong things. The data may not even be leaving the device but the implication DDG makes is that it is.

As a side note, I prefer to use DNS66 to filter data and ads by domain, then manually set my Android app permissions as needed.
