Alternative title for the articles thumbnail: Philip Morris releases worlds largest cigarette filter in an effort to convince regulators that smoking is not a health risk.

Megumin from a comedy Anime called "Konosuba"

They removed JPEG XL support from chrome. It was behind a feature flag previously.

(At least that's what I gathered from reading the screenshot.)

Skill issue

Still good to add it as a comment for the unaware. Not everyone one on lemmy is into tech.

Yes they are.

Here's a TED talk on YouTube from "Hide the pain Herold" a guy who was in a stock photo that became a meme: https://youtu.be/FScfGU7rQaM?si=MFVrgwlJQ8DSOfVB

The title is essentially click bait, absolutely nothing changed. Random comments from a NATO secretary general don't change international law or contracts. They still can't use any of the weapons provided by other countries on Russian territory, because it was part of the deal(s) they were provided under.

Looks to me like they're trying to build something like office 365, but open source. Mostly by wiring other open-source components together I think?

This is probably a better starting point, unfortunately the text is in German: https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/souveraener_arbeitsplatz/info

I'd like you all to consider that places where you'd use starlink are also significantly more than 30x farther away from civilization than the average land-based internet user.

If your local branch and the branch on GitHub diverge, they need to be merged. If you pull using the console it will tell you that, apparently VScode does this automatically?

Anyways, nothing to be concerned about. If you're annoyed by the merge commits, you can configure git to "rebase on pull", google it, you'll find instructions pretty quickly.

Here are some corrections:

• Blockchain has nothing to do with P2P. Blockchains are federated ledgers that can't be changed later, unless the majority of federated servers decides to. P2P means that two devices communicate without a server in the middle. Maybe you meant federated?

• Blockchains can absolutely be hacked. You can gain majority control over the servers, in which case you can rewrite the blockchain as you want. Alternatively you can gain access to accounts/wallets by hacking the software that users store them in or by social-engineering people to give you their keys.

• If proper end-to-end encryption is used, there is little security difference between server-based and P2P communication, but it's much more inconvenient: You cannot save sent messages on the server for later retrieval, so if you're trying to reach someone who's currently offline, your device has to wait until they're back before sending the message. Also if you use multiple devices, keeping them in sync is very complicated, because they have to be online at the same time.
