 @mcc the life / not-life debate on viruses is super interesting. there's a fascinating model called "virocells", wherein the naked viral form is considered to be reproductive material, whereas the infected cell _is_ the living viral organism. on the surface it's a neat solution to the taxonomic problem, but it has super weird implications once you try to use the same model to classify prions. LRT: Lol Linux really is emerging as the true gaming OS, better framerate, better battery life. This year we're seeing multiple sources report higher than ever before seen Linux % of desktop observances. Might finally be the first year of the linux desktop lol  @dan_ballard I do hope so But you'll forgive my strong caution given the number of times I've read it before 😔 On September 9th, Notion will delete the data of all Russian users due to new U.S. sanctions. This is why "file over app" is essential — you should not be subject to the whims of platforms and governments. Be sovereign of your own data.  @kepano It’s not due to sanctions, but due to running unprovoked and genocide war against Ukraine. “Peace over war” and “Life over death” are essential. Those who spitting on international law and executing aggression against sovereign countries must be banned from using any tech created by free world.

@KathyReid @Mer__edith @WIRED @agreenberg @signalapp This is a casual interview that feels profound and transformative  @KathyReid damn it really has to be spelled out like you're talking to kids. I hope most wired readers are smarter but maybe that's optimistic 'The Verge said that the iPhone is now “more fun” in the EU. Noted iOS expert Federico Viticci wrote that the EU version of iOS “is the version of iOS I’ve wanted for the past few years,” and that “we can finally use our phones like actual computers.”''  @brucelawson What the hell are these people doing on their phones? Just because I can run an emulator on it doesn't make iOS any better. Моя коллега становится очень крутой разработчицей расширений. Она часто рассказывала насколько сложнее создавать расширения для Сафари (там сложнее, чем для Хрома). И вот вышла статья с пересказом для тех, кто не может посещать завтраки Марсиан в Лиссабоне. Социологи, которые изучают иммиграцию из РФ составили крутые карты с рейтингами стран по данным их опросов. Полезно, например, когда выбираете страну для иммиграции. The last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was influenced not only by famous Rasputin. French magician Nizier Philippe really influenced political decisions. “Remember that m-r Philippe said that you should not give a constitution, as it will be the ruin of Russia and you.” 4 Feb 1993, a 5km wide light, brighter than the full moon slashes across Europe. It’s Znamya 2, an orbital mirror experiment led by Vladimir Syromyatnikov, which burns up hours later. More sunlight equals more agricultural capability but the collapse of the USSR ends the project. Large sailing ships continue to be made today. For example, the 2nd largest sailing ship in the world was completed in 1996. List of the largest sailing ships: Never thought to try reverse wireless charging an electric toothbrush...but it might actually work lol. Also neat: Just found out you can use the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 while you're wirelessly charging another device!  There's a caveat with charging an electric toothbrush using your phone, though: Your phone might not detect that something is actually being charged and so to save battery, it'll automatically turn off reverse wireless charging. So unfortunately I don't know if you can actually fully charge an electric toothbrush this way. Even if you could, you'd need to constantly turn reverse wireless charging back on, which is a huge pain.  Thank you for sharing. My brain isn’t wired that way but I so appreciate those of you whose brains are. Reading through the French prosecutor's press release re: Pavel Durov and Telegram, it's still not clear what is going on, but the last three items are a big red flag.

 @evacide Would "providing a cryptology tool" mean I'd get arrested for bringing my laptop to France? It has GPG, ssh, and sshd on it, not to mention openssl. That let's me use rsync to back up some directories. I'll use GPG to encrypt a separate copy of Firefox login data.  @evacide Didn't France once ban encryption over the Internet? I expect that to work as well today as it did in the early 20C when the International Telegraph Union tried it. 1/ Over 600,000 Russians are estimated to have left their country since 2022 in the biggest exodus since the post-Soviet period. Many have left to avoid being mobilised to fight. One man managed to escape into exile after deserting the Russian Army twice. ⬇️ 2/ Govorit NeMoskva tells the story of Alexander, a 46-year-old who was the chief engineer of a large construction company. When mobilisation was announced in September 2022, he believed that he would be protected by his company. He soon found this was not the case. На PornHub есть лекции по математики и нейронным сетям Zara Dar действительно имеет образование в этой области, но говорит на OnlyFans (без порно, просто выкладывая лекции) зарабатывает больше, чем в индустрии  Слышал, что европейский дейтинг прямо переворачивает модель мира славянских мужчин в духе «А что так можно было?» Когда девушка самостоятельные, сами знают чего хотят, и ищут именно совместный отдых, а не «зятя для своей мамы с чётким планам на то, как он будет всех содержать» My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp. Telegram is more like Twitter. It is a social media app that is mostly public content that also happens to have DMs, where you can turn on e2e messaging with questionable cryptography that most people never even bother to use.
