I think I'm going to stop backing crowdfunded books and other physical items that don't indicate that they ship out of the EU/EEA. I'm tired of them shipping from the UK and having to pay an additional €15-25 on top of what I've already paid.
The UK is not in Europe for the purposes of logistics, folks. The EU is a bigger market. At this point, these creators are choosing to alienate the larger fanbase.
Publishing houses exist in the EU.

Windows encryption has a universal backdoor.
There is no way this was not built intentionally. The most optimistic outlook is a test build made it into prod. With a single 0 byte file with a magic filename, the entirety of the encrypted drive is available. It only impacts Windows 11 and Server 25.
You can assume anyone with a flash drive can decrypt the contents of a Windows hard drive. It takes zero skill.

@nprofile…65q8 What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it.

@nprofile…wjfe when they did the last round of tariffs in the previous Trump administration, they had to do this same thing - offer bailouts to the farmers. Unfortunately, because obtaining the bailout funds is a paperwork-heavy process, only the biggest farms were able to benefit. It caused a massive closure of small and medium American farms, leading to more farm consolidation and higher consumer farm prices.

For transit, we can buy an anonymous card at a station I think. But bike activation requires a smartphone per bike, no options.

You’re being lied to about “ultra-processed” foods.

There was just one problem: The narrative was totally fake.
Plant-based meats were virtually absent from the study: Just 0.2 percent of calories across the sample came from meat alternatives. People were eating cookies and cake.
