Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • You are technically (and possibly legally) correct... But the spirit of the law is allowing customers to install what they want on their devices.

    This move defuses the responsibility to the developers but EU showed in the past that what they care is the spirit of the law and not the law itself...and they are happy to change the laws to make them more adherent to the spirit

    Rebecca Cheptegei: Olympic athlete dies days after being set alight by ex-boyfriend | BBC
  • Not sure what this reference is demonstrating in the context of domestic violence.

    That reference says

    77% of which involved male victims and 23% female victims

    So it is about killing in general not domestic violence

    Men kill more and are killed more. This is not a secret and not exactly demonstrating that men are wrong, just that some “industries” (e.g. organised crime) are men only clubs (not sure if this is a demonstration of anything about how good or bad men are).

    Do you have a reference specific to this topic?

    Scientists are piecing together the puzzle of long COVID. Here's what to know
  • I got my first Covid in the summer 2022, it was horrible and it was just the tip of the iceberg. I went from working out 5-6 days at week (for 50-70min) to waking up already exhausted. I tried to rest, I tried to work out regardless (and it was super hard to recover) I was always exhausted. This has a toll on all aspects of my life, relationships got severed by me not being available, work was ok (thank goodness I am at a seniority level lower than I actually am) but not great. I went to the doctors but there is no test for long covid so they started testing me for everything and, of course, got lost in all possible imperfection of my body

    In December 2023 I got my second Covid. It wasn’t that bad and, incredibly, after that I started to slowly (over months) to recover. I am still not at the level I used to be before (I get tired much more easily) but now I can have a normal life.

    Yes, I had 3 vaccines doses before my first Covid… and, even if in my country the Covid vaccine is discouraged for people that aren’t old enough, I keep on doing.

    Some people are just more susceptible and it is not the “cold” that some people think it is

    AI Music Generator Suno Admits It Was Trained on ‘Essentially All Music Files on the Internet’
  • Copyright doesn’t work like that.

    The fact that you put online (e.g. in an online shop or, heck, even for free on your website) doesn’t imply anyone can use it for anything they please.

    For example an mp3 on a indie musician website for making people know their music, doesn’t mean people can start making CD out of it and selling them

    You may say that piracy exists but it is illegal and AI training is pretty much for profit piracy (using something outside the intended scope defined by the author for profit)

    Outrage grows over Evan Gershkovich’s 16-year sentence in Russian penal colony
  • Right but maybe the WSJ should have hired a Russian (or 3rd nationality) journalist for the role.

    It’s not different on how things were in Cuba few years ago where it wasn’t possible to send US citizens there

    CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes
  • This was not the driver, it was a config file or something read by the driver. Now having a driver in kernel space depending on a config on a regular path is another fuck up

    CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes
  • If I had to bet my money, a bad machine with corrupted memory pushed the file at a very final stage of the release.

    The astonishing fact is that for a security software I would expect all files being verified against a signature (that would have prevented this issue and some kinds of attacks

    RNC Co-Chair Tells Newsmax Republicans Are Planning For Possibility of Trump Addressing Convention From Prison
  • To be fair, me as a south European kid I had an hard time to understand where the issue was there 😅 Sure power imbalance but more something to frown upon rather than the huge deal it became.

    I think it is better that that kind of “scandals” are not happening any more

    Israel Threatens 'Severe Consequences' for Nations Who Recognize Palestine
  • Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?

    Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine
