Honestly this is lower than expected. Oh, but it’s specifically email huh.

Proton analyzed business email domains across Europe to show how many publicly listed companies are reliant on US email and email security services.

Windows is the elephant in the room here…

Because Maduro wasn’t sanctioned by a body that Switzerland recognizes as binding.

However now that he’s fallen, they are freezing his money to give it back to the country when it asks for it.

You (and everyone upvoting) have no idea what Switzerland neutrality means. It’s not like you could just read up an official Swiss government document about it (PDF warning)

This is standard procedure, freezing the assets of toppled dictators so that the country can get them back. This is to help the Venezuelan people. Here, other examples of similar cases.

Ever since the Marcos (Philippines) affair in 1986, the list of illicit potentate funds that have been seized in Swiss banks and later returned to the country has steadily grown to include Montesinos (Peru), Mobutu (former Zaire), Dos Santos (Angola), Abacha (Nigeria), Kazakhstan, Salinas (Mexico), Duvalier (Haiti), Ben Ali (Tunisia), and Mubarak (Egypt).

Edit: amazing, four people below proving my point.

Fighting AI with AI… Everyone lose, especially the planet :')

Their CEO did fuck up with that, so for me they are on thin ice, but I haven’t seen anything else problematic since then.

In 2024 alone, 17,000 people entered the EU illegally through Belarus — three times more than in the year before.

I assume. But that’s only a fraction of the total amount of migrants and refugees…

Digitalisation is a pretty large investment, and libraries typically have pretty tight budgets, so outside of governmental (or philantropic) intervention I assume it might happen very slowly or not at all. Old books are very fragile, so any intervention must be done very carefully.

And outside of that… while the contents can be saved with digitalisation, there is value in the object itself, and that’s what they are trying to protect. They won’t just abandon the items they protected for centuries because the text has been moved to another format.

You’re right, it doesn’t. What I’m saying is that is not a good argument to say it’s “high-tech spyware” because run-of-the-mill data-stealing crap does the same thing.

While it’s true that people should be wary of such apps (just being a data thief is enough for it to be bad), and there’s a decent chance that is indeed is spyware…

Even those who manage to disable the app find it reappears automatically, confirming its nature as high-tech spyware.

Isn’t this actually common behaviour in the usual bloatware crap that gets installed?

Thank you, this will take some time to go through haha. I’ll come back at you if I get the chance.

We have a mountain of evidence, that small hospitals are providing far worse outcomes, even if you factor in transport times to larger facilities.

Do you per chance have interesting sources you recommend? I feel this must very much depend on the distance.

It’s a reference to a meme.

KnowYourMeme page.

That’s the worse part. They are already paid well, they’re just greedy assholes.

Actually the worse is that we keep getting them elected and letting them get away with it probably.

Did you have higher expectations of western politicians or think those were non-western rates?

It’s obviously not impossible, but you’ll find people calling every single private messaging platform honeypots. I don’t recall seeing any convincing proof for Tuta, personally.

It’s the largest reason why I haven’t purchased it yet. I’m very disappointed they decided to do this.

Thank you for linking this.

I for one am quite hyped about this new expac. They have really sold me on the Homestead.

You can still try the base game for free if you want to give it another go.

And when it goes on sale, the “Complete” Collection (First three expacs + the Living Story 2, 3, 4 and 5) is a steal at 50$/€. That’s 10 years of content you can catch up to. Even full price I’d say worth it, if you’re looking for a casual-friendly MMO with enough content to keep you entertained for a long time.

Another rec for GW2. I’d recommend you try the F2P game so you get a general sense of the mechanics and see if you like it, then wait for a sale to buy the “Elder Dragon Saga—Complete Collection” for half-price. I mean, there’s enough content for it to be worth 100 bucks, but for 50 it’s a bargain.
