Nijmegen is specifically called out as less affected in the article, but I’m in the Amsterdam area so I’m unfortunately very affected.

EDIT: this is build into the card readers by the way.

It’s on the card readers, around me it’s on almost all machines. Getting a sandwich to go? It’ll ask you to tip 15%. Getting a bag of coffee beans, same question.

That’s a false comparison. You can very easily spy on your users and choose not to do anything if they do something illegal. Or better yet, if they do something illegal in a country you don’t like. You can even encourage them in that situation.

It’s enforceable if you want to. The real question is if companies want to be evil enough to just ban NY residents over this, or if they just allow everyone to easily cancel.

A lot of sidewalks in major cities don’t have room for these. Especially if you account for traffic, light, and power poles, street signs, bus and trolley stops, subway and El entrances, sidewalk trees, garbage, trash and recycling bins, sidewalk grates, cellar entries, cracked sidewalks, etc, etc, etc.

That’s pretty awful because it seems to me they take about the same space as a wheelchair.

Seems like it would have been a good moment to split the database from the many web servers and reduce the single point of failure.

I would be in favour of ray-banning every owner from public life.

Also, do you really want everyone in your wedding photos to be staring at their phone to take pictures?

Since it’s Firefox based, do they even have the option to release their software with GPL components?

The decision was made according to the report after the Commission became aware of the group’s existence last month and deemed the risk of compromise too high. While there is no evidence yet that communication has actually been intercepted, the threat situation has escalated.

It’s always been clear Trump had a thing for children. But this is a new low

No, they invented mastodon. Which is the thing they’re adjusting.

They didn’t invent HTTP either, which they’re not claiming ownership of by using it in mastodon.

I don’t think it’s too much for the company that makes mastodon to claim mastodon is “it’s decentralised social network”. The way I read it they don’t claim ownership, they claim to be the author.

Not if you ask them it isn’t 😅

What’s to stop people from providing that service to buy people alcohol?

For an implementation to work, it should: * Let the service know that the user is an adult by providing a verifiable proof of adulthood (eg. A proof that’s signed by a trusted authority/government) * Not let the service know any other information about the user besides what they already learn through http or TCP/IP *

Seems like that’s exactly what https://yivi.app/en/ can do.

And he should know…

Not disagreeing with you, but since the author is asking about GitHub… the XZ GitHub didn’t actually have any malicious code. Only the website tarbal did.
