Gifts from the AFU for the "liberators" from the DPRK ...
  • Only think I know is that fragment size can't be too small, maybe you can argue that a nail is untested and thus can make micro fragments? Curious to know why this wouldn't be allowed

    Edit: looks like there is a general ban on "unnecessary suffering or superfluous wounds", so if the nails are strong enough to injure but not kill, they are prohibited.

  • The War on Passwords Is One Step Closer to Being Over
  • Access to my main email account (outlook) is currently blocked because someone decided to try a password from some earlier leak and locked it. It can only be unlocked with SMS MFA, which I can't use because I'm travelling abroad. There is no other way to do it. The other option they give you a form that only works if you don't have MFA set up (it says so on the faq). I even asked someone to fill the form from my home computer so the location data matches earlier accesses, but didn't work. You also can't contact support without logging in. If I had lost/changed that phone number for any reason, I would lose access forever. Luckily I will be back home soon.

  • Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.
  • elon musk was asked to point a legal rep and show up to answer questions about spreading fake news and promoting criminal activity. He denied point out the rep or participating in the investigation at all. There is some backlash as the judge gave the final warning on twitter since there was no legal rep, which would be a first.

  • The best athlete sponsorship
  • you don't see the ad and think "wow, that athlete is holding this one brand of cheese, I'm gonna buy it"

    you mentally associate those two, and when you go to the supermarket, you see the brand and buy it out of instinct, since that brand gives you a good feeling subconsciously.

    or if you ask yourself "I never bought parmesam cheese before, which brand is good? oh I've seen this one before, it must be good"

  • The Ol' Jump 'n Tap
  • I'm not finding it now but there are some shorts where the guy gives a tong to teenagers and they don't double clack.

    also no double press on a drill.

    this generation is lost man

  • Bots can now solve CAPTCHAs better than humans
  • when you have to click once, means they have been gathering all your actions up to that point, and for sure you are human. If you get asked to click images, means they don't have enough information yet, or you failed some security step (wrong password) and the site told captcha to be extra sure

  • Israel bombs 6th UN-run school in Gaza in 10 days, kills dozens
  • south africa and ireland are taking them to international court, but at the end of the day, it is the countries that actually have people/resources/power to enforce the court's orders. And nobody is willing to invade Israel to bring them to justice (and bring their leadership to the courthouse). Almost all countries in the UN signed treaties promising they would enforce arrest orders, but when push comes to shove, nobody wants to be the one to do it. Israeli offivials can go visit their allies freely

  • ‘Will you stop exploring yours?’: Latin America forges ahead on new oil frontier
  • when the rich countries start paying to fix the problem, the the poor countries will stop trying to improve their situation and help.

    The north always says "do your part, we are all in this together" when asking to keep the status quo, but they have never accepted any treaty that makes them suffer the consequences of their actions (or are you gonna tell me that the south fucked up the world?)

    this is proposed every chance possible and is never accepted.

    The global south can be 100% commited to ending climate change and nothing would happen. If the north doesn't take their oily, coaly money and do the heaby lifting, nothing will change. The task of saving the world is impossible.

    so as long as the north is short soghted and petty, the only reasonable action for the south is the same. sacrificing their short term well being just buys a little more time for the north to polute us to death

  • Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb
  • most places in the world require that you have a license for tourist renting. In theory, they inspect each unit before giving the license, to make sure it is safe. And in theory airbnb requires that license before allowing you to list on their site. If you don't have the license, you get fined, same as if you opened a store without stablishing a formal company

  • Majority of Japanese support government-run dating apps
  • at least in the government app you know they will not use dark patterns to make you feel miserable unless you pay. anybody that has paid for these apps know it is night and day, you get 2 matches in a week if you dont pay, or 100 in a hour if you pay
