davikrr··on Settings are not a design failure
Every time an application (i.e Firefox) removes a feature due to "low user adoption" I feel the extents of this kind of UX misunderstanding.

I'd like to point out that the first author, Stephanie Seneff, "began publishing controversial papers in low-impact, open access journals on biology and medical topics" with "heated objections from experts in almost every field she's delved into" [1], and that the second author's "Naturopathic Physician" degree is not a very good indicative for experience conducting Immunology (or) medical research.

davikrr··on Tim Cook Says Apple Is Looking into Cryptocurrency
With $130 gas costs - oops, that's already the gas price for Ethereum :-)
davikrr··on Google had a plan called “Project NERA” to turn the web into a walled garden
I'd pay for a browser like that.
davikrr··on Is this proof of lab leak lies?
It's unnerving how everything is open at my city as well - except public universities. Some teachers have taken education for recording all their classes and pressing "Send" at the comfort of their home, I guess.

It can also subsist on top of ketone bodies - if fat breakdown is high enough due to a lack of glucose due to fasting or lack of other storage such as glycogen.

davikrr··on German parliament wants Tim Cook to reconsider CSAM plans
PhotoDNA: "is an image-identification technology used for detecting child pornography and other illegal content which is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) [...] It is used on Microsoft's own services including Bing and OneDrive, as well as by Google's Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Adobe Systems, Reddit, Discord and the NCMEC, to whom Microsoft donated the technology." [1]

I'm (almost) certain any Google service will tag CSAM for reports and will also hash content it deems illegal for the NCMEC too [2], so I wouldn't be surprised if Google Photos already did something like this.
