It’s actually not nice, not for local wildlife, for example. Biomes exist for a reason and if anything changes abruptly, evolution can’t keep up with these changes, resulting in extinction of several species. Just like flowers are blooming in Antarctica, a rainy and green Sahara is as beautiful as a rose with thorns under its petals: really beautiful, but ominously dangerous.

Teenagers today were born in the aftermath of a global financial crisis, are seeing war after war after war, grow up with the knowledge that the world is going to shit and the older generations aren’t willing to do anything about it. They see everyone pull up the ladder behind them, the ‘fuck you I got mine’ mentality is everywhere.

Not just teenagers (Alpha generation), but also GenZ and part of Millennials. I’m personally a Zennial (microgeneration between both GenZ and Millennials) and I feel the same as described in your comment: things are going worse everyday, most of the older generations (Gen X and Boomers) seems deadpanned about climate change, wars, economic crisis, and I’d also add broken dreams (lots of plans were destroyed because of things such as COVID pandemics, for example). It’s depressing to know that living will be worse and worse as the time passes.

What if the patient opting for euthanasia is a tetraplegic (therefore, a person that lost their ability to press buttons) whose condition emerged from an underlying disease/condition that has no cure for the foreseeable future and that’s why they chose euthanasia instead of suffering? How such person is even supposed to “press the button”? In this hypothetical example, I’m considering that such person is capable of explicit consent through speech before several witnesses and some judge or their lawful representative, saying something like “I, John Doe, as an exertion of my human right imbued free will, I hereby authorize my euthanasia because such-and-such and whatsoever… being done by M.D. Luke Doe as an anesthesiologist professional authorized by me to do so”.

I mean, the very purpose of the right of euthanasia is to consider this right especially for people who’re painfully suffering from irreversible conditions, such as terminal diseases, conditions that bring such unbearable suffering for those who have them, although I’m more inclined to the thought that “Life should be a right to everyone, but shouldn’t be an obligation nor a duty to anyone” independent of any underlying conditions. In any case (be it euthanasia only for terminal diseases or euthanasia for anyone who wants it), of course explicit consent is a must, be it verbal or handwritten, and I think that the long bureaucracy is enough for the patient to authorize any assisted euthanasia.

I sincerely do not know as I’m currently unemployed to try and imagine a 4-day work week. I mean, it would be a good thing, more time to dedicate for things you like the most (such as a hobby and/or family and/or pets and/or entertainment and/or spirituality/beliefs/religion and/or education/courses). But it’d only work if there’s any job. With the ongoing situation with AI replacement, profit-eagerness culture of businesses, I don’t really have optimistic views on the future of employment, with or without 4-day work week.

Laws in the rich Alpine country permit assisted suicide so long as the person takes his or her life with no “external assistance”

So it’s not “assisted”. By “assisted”, I understand a kind of euthanasia where, for example, an anesthesiologist administer a cocktail composed by both an IV sedative then a lethal injection of something that’ll make heart to stop beating, obviously after a long bureaucracy needed to ensure patient’s will and consent.

I’m a “pagan” demonolater, therefore, I do not worship the christian god neither Christ as a “savior” (I’m actually a Lilith’s worshipper) but, it’s needed to be mentioned that the existence of Christ as a Nazarethian man is well-proven even by the religion-free science and history. While I agree that it doesn’t prove any of his “holiness” nor his affiliation to “God himself”, he truly existed as a man. One doesn’t need to worship Christ to know his historical existence as a human being.

For example, as from Wikipedia’s article regarding Publius Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman historian:

The Annals is one of the earliest secular historical records to mention Jesus of Nazareth, which Tacitus does in connection with Nero’s persecution of the Christians.

Also from the article regarding Yosef ben Mattityahu, a Jewish historian:

Josephus’s works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Israel, and provide a significant and independent extra-biblical account of such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, John the Baptist, James, brother of Jesus, and Jesus of Nazareth

It’s worth mentioning that the latter is Jewish and Jewish beliefs do not worship Jesus (because the arrival of a “Mashiach” is a promise yet to be fulfilled by “HaShem”, according to Orthodox Jewish tradition), so I bet his work is even more valuable in proving Christ as a man than the bible’s new testament itself.

The problem here is not just Chrome (as in Google Chrome) but Chromium, the web engine behind many browsers out there (such as Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, among many many others). For now there are two main web engines available, those being Chromium and Gecko (Firefox, Palemoon and many other Firefox forks). The deprecation of Manifest v2 is a Chromium change that includes (and focuses on) Chrome.

Just out of curiosity: why is nobody recommending Tox?

Websites from alternative networks such as Onion, Freenet, I2P and GNUnet, where speed and privacy are a must-have. Onion webchats, for example, uses neverending-loading with iframes/HTML frames (and another frame/iframe with a standard HTML form), so to not depend on JS.

At the surface web (clearnet), however, it’s harder to find. Even the remaining old sites, from blogosphere and personal tilde websites (those whose URL contained a tilde “~” followed by an username) have some degree of JS.

Lots.

• Spectroid: a realtime frequency analysis of sounds from microphone (Fast Fourier transform)
• The Powder Toy: a falling sand sandbox, where you can play with and mix and react various elements.
• Sketchbook: app to draw, lots of pencil styles

I’m not sure whether they fit the “indie” category, tho.

Exactly! Thanks! I couldn’t point the exact label, I’ve been using Linux for years in a daily basis so I forgot most of the Windows shortcuts/options.

There are registrars that allow the info to be redacted from public WHOIS.

Unless the registrar accepts cryptocurrencies as a payment, there’s no anonymous way to set up a domain. Even if you fill fake information, you’d still need to use a credit card or bank account that’ll disclose personal info (such as full name, billing address, etc).

When I read the title, I was thinking of something sophisticated such as hidden executable streams inside the MKV container (IIRC, it’s possible to append binary data other than audio, video or subtitles specifically inside a MKV). The “.lnk” trick only works in Windows and, even there, it’s easy to prevent: Windows Explorer > Options > Advanced > find and check “Always show extensions for files” (i can’t really remember the exact label for this option as I’m not a Windows user, but something like this will be there).

Many of these have public, archived repositories, differently from hundreds of dead Google projects.

Exactly. HDMI contains HDCP when HDMI is streaming something copyrighted, such as Netflix app/in-browser. While they allegedly don’t record Netflix app on TV, they’ll be recording Netflix if it’s been streamed from computer via HDMI.

That means they’re violating HDCP (High definition copy protection)? Do streaming services such as Netflix and Disney, as well as movie studios such as Universal, know this?

Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’

ROFL. I can even imagine the scene of someone going through the… you know, the thing… and while oofing they see a big screen “This pod is sponsored by Grim Reaper Funeral Home, the angel at your service”.

It won’t take long for a “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’ Vanced AdBlocked PainBlocked”.

Sometimes it’s not “readonly”, but a Javascript thing that “event.preventDefault()” and “return false” during the “onpaste” event. As the event is generally set using elm.addEventListener instead of setting elm.onpaste, it’s not possible to remove the listener, as it’d need the reference for the handler function that was set to handle the mentioned JS event. So simply setting the value directly using elm.value bypasses the onpaste event.

I circumvent that by right-clicking, then choosing “Inspect element”, then switching to the tab “Console”, then typing $0.value = “TheValueIWantToPaste”. If right-clicking is also disabled, I use either F12 or Tools menu > DevTools.

I’m also from Brazil. I chose to refuse any digital IDs: for example, my CNH (for non-brazilians: it’s our driver’s license) is physical and I used a dumbphone (Multilaser Zapp) to justify to the bureau that I can’t have apps for digital IDs (I kinda could within my other device, a smartphone, but I lied having only Multilaser as device). They can’t force people to have digital IDs, yet. Not everyone has a smartphone, it’s common in Brazil for a house/family/community to have multiple people using one single smartphone, digital IDs won’t be usable for this situation. It’s not my situation, I avoid to take my smartphone outside of home due to security concerns, so I take a dumbphone instead.

Digital IDs have multiple problems. What if the smartphone breaks? What if the smartphone has no battery when one needs to show one’s IDs? These were the factors that motivated me to refuse any digital IDs.
