My guess (pure speculation) is that Wipr sets the fingerprint to a well-known value for privacy / anonymization reasons, and Meta is indeed using that to suggest related accounts.

I very much doubt apple has an api for that and offers it to developers. Ad blockers have declarative and well known api that can't allow anything like this.

That isn’t my experience. I tried compressing conference proceedings into thumbnails with tiny file size and for this purpose I found that JPEGXL is far better than AVIF

I for one would love to see a History Of Speedrun Community Leaderboards Drama glitchless any% documentary

for whatever it's worth, thanks for your work on Juggler! i really like the concept (especially the miller columns are really nice), and a small detail but i appreciate the musician's touches you put in the notification chime (randomized according to selected scale)!

Thanks! I've had fun doing little details like that. Will keep trying to make it fun..

for those not aware of the reference, "The Machine Stops" was a 1909 novelette by E. M. Forster. It was very forward thinking, and so full of ideas!

Because the ICC and Dutch authorities could no longer access their bank accounts or emails because of sanctions Microsoft chose to enforce .


OK, and how does changing your desktop OS help with that? Does NixOS grant you access to a locked bank account where Windows 11 doesn't?


It will help. because it will kickstart their native software industry and may even encourage others throughout Europe to get back to work seriously in that area and look to compete, because actually there was no real reason for them to give up in the first place. All you need to do is look at the Brits with what they lost in Acorn and Arm technology.


well, it's no longer possible to set up Windows with a local account without typing arcane commands in the command prompt during setup, so...


should there be? bikes use a fraction of the energy from EVs, aren’t their owners benefitting from lower cost-of-ownership either way?


It depends, if you consider how much it costs to feed the human to power it, it doesn't become as clear.

But to be fair we don't consider the health benefits of a human powering it either


what do you mean? Every 3D game is played on a 2D manifold except for like, 6DOF flight games or lucid blocks


Silly question: how do we know that the decrypted message is correct?

Isn’t it feasible that a given ciphertext could mean any number of different things under different settings? If so, we don’t know whether this setting happens to match a plausible plaintext or whether this really was the plaintext the sender intended to send.


Is it even possible for the same cyphertext to encode different messages using different keys?


According to the cryptography Stack Exchange, yes: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/64757/is-it-possi...

But I don't think this describes intentionally encoding a different message, rather that different messages are hypothetically possible based on different keys but only one is intentional.

It might be feasible to encode different messages using different ciphers, like one in the text, another using steganography on the decrypted text. IDK. I'm not a cryptographer.
