Totally agree and that's why X and TikTok are so precious when the US gov's propaganda is omnipresent on all other social networks (not even talking about traditional media...)
The failure of anti-israel suppression of speech on Tiktok is the main driver for this bill. Yet, everyone keeps saying it is a China problem. it was bundled with a war spending bill. That says loads about the importance and burial of information this carries.
1000x this, I'm not sure why more people do not see that when it's pretty obvious. People that actually use TikTok know what I mean, Israel narration lost and videos from Palestine reporting what's going on were super popular. Now there are pro Palestinian protests at campuses around US against US Israel policy and US government do not like that. TikTok was IMO the main driver of showing what's going in Gaza.
We've eradicated so many species before and the world is still fine. Mosquitoes are by far the deadliest, birds or bigger insects that feed on them will eat other things.
Since the Dropbox update for macOS on File Provider, I moved to Google Drive (it works, but I didn't want to rely too much on Google, I already use it for my email and photo auto-archive).
So I moved recently to Proton Drive (they released their macOS app 3 weeks ago), but boy its really buggy. So now I'm considering moving back to Dropbox...
I've read that sync.com is great too, but not sure I want to pay another provider just yet...
Could you please contact us at https://proton.me/support/contact and elaborate on the issues you've come across on the Proton Drive macOS app? Thank you in advance.
Someone should really focus on building a trusted jailbreak solution so we (and not apple or google) can decide what we install on our $1,000 phones. Anyone knows a project working on this?
If you start distributing a jailbreak, Apple will patch it. If you sell it to an organization that buys exploits, you can enjoy your exploit indefinitely and make a nice chunk of change on top of it. Apple benefits from this dynamic greatly, as their App Store revenue is more important to them than their uses' security. They incentivize hoarding potential jailbreak exploits and selling them to the highest, and most likely malicious and deadly, bidders, instead of sharing them with users to increase their freedoms.
These articles are insane, 10min in until you get to the part of what happens to used batteries.
I’m really thinking the media business model is totally broken for these authors to not go straight to the point
It's long form (although somewhat short for that). Consider yourself lucky that this article even has a descriptive title and gets around to addressing it at some point in the body. A lot of long form journalism is just a click-bait title with rambling.
Personally, I think long-form writers need to start including abstracts. If I'm going to spend half an hour reading something, I'd like to know what it's about before I commit the time. If no abstract seems adequate to capture the breadth of a long form article's ramblings, then it lacks focus and should be revised.
Haven't read the article ... But I am always taken aback by these "and now we look at the complete life of the guy that did whatever the article is actually about"-detours.
When I read an article about about ... fishing in Alaska ... I was btw born in the last millenia and had a pretty normal childhood. But if you dig out school colleagues of mine you will find somebody who will tell you I was a strange kid in school .
5 minutes later I have still not read anything about fishing in Alaska.
Feels like complete filler material to me, probably to increase "engagement".
This is the only information about what actually happens to batteries. It is very imprecise. And limited to one company
"When batteries can’t be fixed or reused, the company recycles some at its onsite facility. It also stores batteries. Lots of them. SNT’s main warehouse in Oklahoma City holds hundreds of electric car batteries, stacked on shelves that jut 30 feet into the air. With the Bolt recall, GM will send SNT many more."
Kind of surprised there is barely a mention of second-life use of old EV batteries, e.g. for energy storage applications. Which is something GM (along with others) has said it is pursuing. See https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/car-makers-and-...
can someone recommend an easy way to migrate Google Photos straight into Dropbox? (without having to download the Google Takeout exports locally (I've got like 400 GB of photos...))
