  • You can now use your Gmail account in Proton Mail

    Jump

  • While it doesn't protect from Google's anti-privacy tactics, the proton Mail app does strip third party tracking from emails, which can be helpful.

    Many companies use a single pixel transparent image (or similar) to identify whether a user has opened an email. They can then build a profile on which emails you opened vs left unread even if you didn't click anything.

    Proton as an email frontend tries to prevent that kind of third party tracking. It also prevents Google from knowing things like how many times you open an email, how much time you look at it, etc.

    It's not revolutionary, and it certainly doesn't remove the harms of staying with Gmail, but it's not pointless.

  • Wide-ranging 7-zip vulnerability with 8.8 CVE rating allows for code execution — hundreds of millions of machines potentially at risk

    Jump
    • high performance legacy software like this often uses low-level languages like c, c++, and assembly
    • these low-level languages are extremely powerful but require manual management of memory
    • that memory management is a common place where bugs like this can be found. This vulnerability is a memory overflow

    This kind of bug's severity and how easily it is to accidentally introduce is why many high performance applications are moving to the rust programming language, which was specifically designed to try and prevent/minimize memory bugs.

  • When other countries say Americans are loud, what does this mean?

    Jump

  • This is a very balanced take. I appreciate it ☺️

  • When other countries say Americans are loud, what does this mean?

    Jump

  • I flew back to America from Tokyo today and as a frequent traveler to Japan I can tell you it's all of the above. As a very introverted, easily overstimulated person I love going to Japan because it's my 'quiet time'. Coming home I'm usually overwhelmed by the sheer noise of being in America.

    1. People simply speak louder than they need to here. In Japan you speak in a hushed voice unless it's necessary to raise it. Also people aren't afraid to lean in a little closer to hear what is being said to them. In America people stand 2 meters away from each other and have to speak loud enough for the whole room to hear
    2. People speak more and don't value quiet time. In Japan you don't speak on trains. Your inane conversation can wait. Its more pleasant for everyone if you just stay quiet. Then an American tourist boards and everyone in the car gets to hear all about their opinions on some anime whether they want to or not
    3. People tent to interject / interrupt more here

    Hopefully this didn't come across too much as venting. I can't wait to go back.

  • People are realizing physique inflation exists...

    Jump

  • I find myself attracted to people who have a little bit of "meat on their bones" but constantly feel bad about myself for not having a completely chiseled physique. It's unfortunate.

  • Countries with the most museums in the world (2021)

    Jump

  • Exactly. Per Capita puts these numbers way closer.

    • USA: 1 museum per ~10,000 residents
    • Germany: 1 museum per ~12,000 residents

    Honestly more interesting is how much of an outlier china is considering their massive population.

  • The EdTech Backlash Is Here, and It's Just Getting Started

    Jump

  • Came here to say this: Anki is infinitely better than some scammy ai enabled nonsense.

    The challenge is Anki relies on the student being motivated to pursue the education. The solution to that is the student seeing the value and fun in what they're learning. That can partially be provided by gamification, but really a passionate teacher with genuine enthusiasm is the best.

  • Removing the Modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid

    Jump

  • Car GPS: always able to track you.

    Phone GPS App: choose your vendor (e.g. openstreetmaps vs Google), set the app to only have location access when in use.

    Significantly better control.

  • Thanks! Yeah I'll be there for 3 weeks. I'm visiting friends in Tokyo and Kochi, and also taking a couple days in Kyoto to visit the Nintendo museum. Pretty excited!

  • Nice streak! 20日おめでとう！ I have the genki second edition textbooks so I started with a genki 1 deck but I've been adding words to it as I come across them in my immersion content. I also have a genki second edition kanji deck which I added a sound field to so I can add audio.

  • Shipping shouldn't be free. It costs money to transport goods. If you're not paying for that cost then at best it's included in the price of the item, but more likely it's a corporate ploy to squeeze out competition or a psychological trick to get you addicted to frivolous spending.

  • No one can force me to have a secure website!!!

  • Tom's is one of the few channels I have notifications on for because when he posts it's always an instant watch.

  • Clearly this is someone who actually reads their books. Given that they are mass market paperbacks... I have no problem with this. If I were an author I would much rather someone does this to my work and actually reads it and enjoys it to someone keeping a pristine copy unopened on their shelf forever.

  • Japanese curry roux question

    Jump

  • Follow the instructions on the curry box. It should break apart into pieces like a chocolate bar.

    You can also just add one square at a time and keep tasting it until it's the strength you want.

    Start by boiling potatoes, carrots, onion. When they soften add roux. It's a pretty forgiving recipe

    頑張って！

  • 3D printers leave hidden ‘fingerprints’ that reveal part origins

    Jump

  • This seems like very standard ML. I'm not surprised it works, but also it likely takes a huge amount of training data (i.e. print samples) to recognize a specific machine.

    I've done stuff like this. For instance I took a pre-trained model that could identify animals and used reinforcement learning to feed it thousands of annotated images of my cats. After this fine-tuning it could reliably tell the difference between them. Useful? Yes. Neat? Yes. But it's not like it can identify a cat it's never been trained on.

    So it's interesting and useful, but not as impressive or useful as the article makes it seem.

    Also I'm sure something as simple as changing a nozzle or even what slicer is used would completely throw it off.

  • City-building on the back of a huge creature, The Wandering Village gets a big Story Update

    Jump

  • I really like this game. Agreed with the other comment about the endgame being a little weak but it's still early in development and the content they've added has been great.

    You need to radically accept yourself and your own failings

    Jump

  • I don't think this is that unpopular. But it's probably better to be radically honest with yourself. Notice and accept your flaws, yes, but also notice and accept your value and strengths. And if some of your flaws are reasonable to put some work into then you may wish to choose to do that. For example - I'm trying to be more kind this month.
