What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?
  • Puerto Hurraco. Population 100. Everybody in Spain recognises its name because of a shooting that got burned into the collective mind.

  • Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use
  • Does anyone know whether they published the ordered statement and where?

  • List of GOTY winners for the five major video game awards
  • Ah yes you are right. I don't know what kind of brainfart got me.

  • List of GOTY winners for the five major video game awards
  • I hope people start pronouncing it FISH awards!

    Edit: my bad, fish would be goti.

  • Australian businesses selling essential goods and services to be forced to accept cash payments
  • If you have pen and paper and the key to the drawer you don't need a working POS on the spot to accept cash while comms are out and record the transactions later.

    And exactly: where does the cash appear from? That's the "should always be an option" part.

    Of course there's drawbacks for everything: less secure for staff if you accept cash vs inability to do anything when comms fail if you don't.

    There might be a further point, although I haven't looked into the reasons: Sweden started the cashless experiment before and they are backpedaling now.

  • Australian businesses selling essential goods and services to be forced to accept cash payments
  • I don't disagree with cashless being the preferred method, but cash should always be an option because e.g. in case of disaster, the infrastructure that cashless depends on can be impaired for a while.

  • Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities
  • FYI there are some apps on the F-Droid store that probably won't have to protect any data from the authorities because it stays in your phone and is not sent anywhere to begin with.

  • LICENSE.TXT
  • It should be.

  • What piece of media would you like adapted to another?
  • The Divine Comedy to a high budget high quality movie.

  • Wednesday it is, my dudes.
  • Interesting, I say CROAC. Probably there's a lot of geographical variation.

  • ‘Stop all time wasting’: Woolworths workers tracked and timed under new efficiency crackdown
  • I cannot vote but as a recent arrival I'm in the process of getting the picture.

  • Oh okay, I think I have in mind some politicians that fit into the description. Thanks!

  • LGBT + legal equality index, 2024
  • I agree that countries ara hard to compare "in bulk" but I think that naming the chart with the wording "legal equality" hints at acknowledging that it's representing a very concrete dimension of equality in general.

  • Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software
  • I was copying and pasteing from pass but that looks much cooler, thanks!

  • Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software
  • I'm familiar with pass and familiar-ish with rofi. What do the other two do?

  • 'How are we going to escape?': Indonesian working holiday-makers say they were 'scammed'
  • _The couple said they had not made a complaint to the authorities.

    "We didn't want to get involved in things that are complicated, because we are afraid the problem will become more complex," said Dimas._

    if they did they might make things a little bit better for people coming after them. I hope they change their minds.

  • Eye colour percentages around the world
  • Liz Taylor.

  • Can anyone confirm this map of Spain as accurate
  • They are the New Zealand of Spain.

  • Can anyone confirm this map of Spain as accurate
  • Well, and that being said, my very personal perception is that the will to leave is more significant (without going into whether it's majority or not) in Catalonia, Galicia and the Basque Country. The other highlighted in my opinion would be happy with greater recognition of their peculiarities (namely language) and less dependence of a central government.

    I'm sacrificing a lot of accuracy and nuance in order to keep my comment short.

  • Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, is 30 years old

    It was a huge thing for me when it was released, due to my discovering queer activism around the time; and I think it was a huge thing, culturally speaking, for many queer people in many countries.

    I rewatched it yesterday but of course through the lenses of nostalgia, so I wondered if it has aged well, if it resonates with the younger people...

    Can you recommend me an .au registrar?

    Hi!

    I used to have a non-.au domain with Gandi because they had a reputation of doing things right and doing the right thing.

    My problem now is getting an .au domain because it's an extra $96 with them, apart from the domain fees.

    Can you recommend me a good alternative that is also less-shady-than-the-average-big-company? Domain only, I already have hosting somewhere else.

    Thanks!
