Your local Pirate Party and organizations like Bits of Freedom can help out.

I am in a relationship, but also lonely. I would like someone to share relationship-problems with for when they occur every once in a while. But it's hard.

Don't believe all the crap you see on TikTok and talk to actual people about their problems. Please.

Good to see he was not left alone.

I don't really want to be filmed everywhere, especially when it's later on broadcasted to the entire world. I want to be able to do stupid stuff without other people knowing.

Still better than using the same password everywhere and/or saving passwords in an unencrypted text file on your computer somewhere.

Just not very user friendly.

She's right, much better to disallow cars in the entire street

Eat with the right, touch anus with the left and always wash hands before you eat. Developed cultures have done this for ages. And they have clean bumholes because they wash instead of only smearing with toilet paper. That shit is disgusting.

Washing can also help against the itchiness. As well as non-synthetic underwear. If those don't help, do indeed see a doctor.

In the Netherlands there is a special class of ebikes we call "Speed pedelec". They are made to go 45kph, but you still pedal. Might be very nice for your commute?

Most important thing though is to try to unite with neighbours and ask for local politics for save infrastructure. In the Netherlands we have the concept of "polderen" for this: you don't make it an all-or-nothing thing, just try to make it good enough for both worlds. If people want to drive, we give them good roads to drive on, which might be a little bit less wide and straight than you're used to, but we also have great cycling infrastructure for the people that don't. Having options is real, actual freedom. Everybody needs to give a little to gain a lot though. That's polderen. Every person using a bike is another one not driving a car, so more space on the road for people that do want to drive.

Is there a difference between the two different entrances?

Should not be necessary; anyone should be able to get the healthcare they need. But still very happy for him and lots of respect for the club.

You're right, I'll retract the recommendation 😉

I met my partner on an app relatively recently and would not have met them otherwise. It can be a way to meet interesting people that you would not easily come across otherwise.

But, there are some caveats.

I would recommend trying a few and finding one that fits your interests/people in your area actually use.

Also investigate what the apps do with your data. You are sharing some very personal/sensitive data with them. Make sure they take good care of it.

Some apps seem to be pay-to-win. Do keep that in mind. Also, do keep in mind you are in the minority as a guy. Don't feel discouraged if it takes a long time to get any matches. I notice I can get somewhat addicted to scrolling through the apps and get discouraged when no one seems to like me. If that's the case make sure to not open the app for a while and go outside.

~~I personally think Feeld is one of the least bad ones, because it is great for different kinds of relationships and that fits me well, as well as they seem to take somewhat value my privacy and data. I also tend to pay for apps I actually use, because when the product is free, I am the product. Remember these companies have costs as well.~~

Still, nothing beats starting conversations with people in real life. Just be friendly, open, interested and don't expect anything from the other party straight away.

You'll be fine!

 

Spotted on the Airbnb homepage. It even has animations on hover?! This might have been cool when the first iphone came out, but I really hoped we passed this station a long time ago

 

So my company is investigating whether it's worth it to use ThreatDown (the corporate version of Malwarebytes) for endpoint-protection.

However, recently (October 9th) a critical vulnerability in Firefox was reported by Mozilla: CVE-2024-9680.

The "strange" thing is that there was no mention of this vulnerability in ThreatDown when I checked after the weekend (October 14th):

(screenshot shows issues that ThreatDown did find, sorted from worst to least bad.

Even though the version of Firefox did contain the vulnerability:

And Locize did run several scans on this endpoint in the mean time:

We contacted ThreatDown about this and the next day the vulnerability suddenly shows up in ThreatDown:

To me it feels like we had to notify ThreatDown about the vulnerability, instead of them notifying us, which is the exact opposite of what we are paying them for, right?

Is this a strange conclusion? What is your experience with them? Any other comments/ideas/things we are missing?

 

I just got a PS3 because I never had enough money for it when I was younger and it is quite affordable nowadays. I started playing a first few games, but I noticed I really like multiplayer games the most.

However, I only found a few people in a Battlefield 4 server yesterday. What other games would you suggest me getting that I can still play online?

Is there any football game that's still alive for instance?
