I was wondering how real this statement, so I did the napkin math:

The average american salary is just shy of 60k[1]. If we follow a 50/30/20 budget[2], 20% goes into savings, so 12k. Assuming that the savings of an average person is roughly similar to a company’s revenue, we get 36.46B / 12k ~= 3 million times more revenue per year

So this 1.2B fine is equivalent to: 1.2B / 3M = 467$ for an average American

(I repeat, this is napkin math, but I think it still shows how small the fine is)

Someday? Canada is already trying to ban the Flipper Zero, we’re living in your nightmare.

I bought Outer Wilds recently (my consumerism couldn’t resist the 40% sale on steam), friends recommended it and I know nothing about it, but only time will tell if I’ll play the game someday or if it’ll stay untouched for years…

Why is Obsidian on the list?? How is a closed source electron app for editing markdown files a good cybersecurity tool/privacy respecting? I could use nano to do the same job with much more confidence for my privacy.

I mean, if a service is free… You’re the product, you’ve never been the customer 🙃

Good bot

That makes 2 of us

Anyone able to read the article without logging in?

Probably if your country judges illegal to connect to the tor network, but not on a VPN. Iirc, a bridge could also hide the fact that you’re connecting to the tor network tho

I can confirm, I’m running Android 13, and whenever I remove notifications permissions to the pebble app, it somehow gets them back by itself and I have that annoyed “connecting” notification opened all the time 🤡

Recently switched from Samsung keyboard to Gboard, and at least Gboard isn’t feeling as sluggish as Samsung… Also the emoji keyboard got a search bar
