ilikeitdark··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
Question: what's the possibility of doing this with non-tampered with modern mobile phones?

Many phones today have a 5000mah battery, which I'm assuming could be triggered to overheat via a malicious app or webpage. Imagine this being used on a grand scale.

ilikeitdark··on Barcelona will eliminate tourist apartments
I've been living in Barcelona for a long time. The mayor is very, very cozy with the hotel industry, which is very much effected by tourist apartments and Airbnb. And he will most likely be out of power in 3 years, so won't actually have to see this through and is just doing this to make himself look good with the many citizens who believe we have too many tourist.
ilikeitdark··on Small claims court became Meta's customer service hotline
I had an very active artist page as a musician in several bands and projects for years. Many videos and photos and posters that I stupidly either didn't back up anywhere else, or it was scattered amongst other pages or hard drives. One day, woke up and it was all gone, the page was not there or any trace of it. I tried to find out what happened and never could and eventually gave up.

ilikeitdark··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
When I moved here to Barcelona, it seemed like many "squats" were punk and artist taking over unused or abandoned large spaces. Many we even open to the public and had events, and some were even part of the local community. Nowadays it's more often drug addicts and criminals and mafias taking over uninhibited homes (even when people are on vacation), who terrorize the neighborhoods.

ilikeitdark··on The last crimes of Caravaggio

ilikeitdark··on Microsoft is driving users away
Microsoft...screwed up my relationship with my HP printer. Two of them.

ilikeitdark··on Amazon reaches 10k Rivian electric delivery vans in US
Amazon (and other product delivery platforms) drive a bit fast and recklessly in the city I'm in. If these vehicles are quieter now, might be worse, although cutting down on air pollution is a big plus.

ilikeitdark··on Thinking in a foreign language improves decision-making
Here in Spain too. A while back in Barcelona it was "Year of the Book" with events all year, in many kinds of places, celebrating books and reading. The even created a free book, to cover all the things they were doing. But the English in the book was HORRIBLE. And it still is on many government websites, tourist things, trains and buses etc. Such a bad LOOK.
