The leaked data targeted primarily Ashkenazi Jews.

$30M for 6.4M people - so minus legal fees they can expect about two dollars each? I thought these damages were supposed to be punitive?

What’s the value-add over just buying a SFF PC?

Sure, 20% of 1.4B is 280 million, more than almost any country’s total population.

It’s “leading” with only ~20% market share, though.

Very good article, but it would have benefited from a few historical references, because none of this is new. The insularity and navel-gazing of royal and imperial courts, for example, are legendary — with their own customs, shibboleths, and of course everyone within believing they have the answers, despite being totally dsconnected form the “real world”.

“Compact mode” is another confirmation — it hides all UI elements.

Yes, it’s basically Firefox with a fancy reskin. Some of the shortcuts are different, though.

I’ve been test-driving it alongside my usual (Floorp). I like its aesthetics. It’s a bit janky UX-wise but considering it’s essentially a solo project, it’s impressive. I hope it at least spurs Firefox into improving its UI.

I get that, but Twitter isn’t based in Brazil at all. What happens if, say, China declares that certain posts are “misinformation”? Should those be taken down without complaint?

Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages

I hate to defend that cesspool of a site, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for social media websites to ban accounts at the whim of foreign governments. Reasonable people should just choose to stop using Twitter altogether and leave it to the Nazis so that it can finally go the way of Gab et al.

What year did you start playing, though? Back in 2005 the game was a revelation. The mundane gameplay you describe was pretty much how all games worked at the time.

they really made a gold standard game

They really did. I still remember the first time I logged in — pure magic. I’ve never felt that way about a game since.

I can’t believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.

This happened to me years ago (the .com of my full name). I kept checking in at expiry date for 3 years and they eventually let it expire, so I bought it back for normal price.

Very recent development - a month ago today, in fact! https://proton.me/blog/proton-non-profit-foundation

Then if they get all terrible and shady I can just pack up my domain and go somewhere else.

FWIW Proton is a nonprofit now, so there isn’t much incentive for them to get shady.

I see they have a multilingual version, but is it possible to set it to use only English and one other language? SwiftKey does that and it works great.

I’m guessing this is a futureproofing thing, so we aren’t caught with pants nearly down like with ipv4.

Finally some good “AI” news. Those things aren’t going away, so I’m happy to see any improvements to their energy efficiency.
