Just between you, your bestie and the zuckerbots maintaining your ad-targeting profiles

Not sure about this new Enid Blyton reboot

You take your choice: Mossad or the PLA.

Has this been audited? It’s easy to claim that something is secure, but there have been products that made such claims and were trivially exploitable.

Isn’t the long side of each segment meant to be parallel to the shore? I thought that the wide side was the one that had the tunnel openings.

Why, does Switzerland still have a patent on LSD?

At the moment, EU citizens aren’t actually citizens of the EU as an entity, but citizens of a member state of the EU, and your EU citizens’ rights flow from that. Having a passport that only mentions the EU on the cover, and gives your actual nationality on the information page as a detail alongside your place of birth and distinguishing marks, would be weird to say the least in these circumstances.

Actually establishing personal EU citizenship, so that your relationship is with the EU and your nation-state citizenship gets demoted to a secondary tier like which municipality you’re registered in, would make this make a lot more sense, but is a far more sweeping change, akin to Volt’s “United States of Europe” proposals, and is not going to come about from a petition.

It’s funny up until it has real-world effects. Then it becomes fraud.

Rather embarrassing for Israel to fumble something so basic

That’s what happens when you let a mad king play toy soldiers with your national military assets

The Kims had entertained ambitions to conquer South Korea, capture its industrial base and add its surviving population to the labour camp work force. Perhaps the pace of progress in Ukraine has caused them to reevaluate the feasibility of this.

Aircraft with millimetre-wave radar could detect them easily. And under a totalitarian regime like Iran, mere possession would be a capital crime.

Macron is a French politician, and as such it’s all but expected that he has mistresses. If he doesn’t, he’d keep his lack of mistresses quiet as not to look like a failure.

So, if you’re a Swedish citizen and vote for the right-wing parties, you’re voting for Nazis in government (and in the immigration portfolio). Which makes you one of the other ten people at the proverbial table.

Perhaps this will backfire and lead to a collapse of the vote for the right-wing parties, as those who are already comfortable with Nazism are cutting out the middle man and voting for the SD directly, and those who aren’t can choose from the Center party (nominally right-of-centre though preferring the left bloc to a Nazi-backed right) or the Social Democrats (nominally centre-left, though essentially an institutional status-quo party).

Vibe coding, the crystal meth of software

Austria, Denmark and Sweden?

They just rename the Communist Party to the Trumpist Party, use their totalitarian system (now reinforced by Palantir technology) to guarantee cheap labour to US firms that kiss the ring, and cede some prime Havana real estate to the House of Trump-Kushner, as “compensation” for property seized in 1957. In return, the newly liberated Cubans get Netflix and Chick-Fil-A.
