It doesn’t. Some webpages have redirects that instruct you to enable javascript, disable ad blockers and disable vpn. But that makes the ‘joke’ fall flat.

I wonder if anyone even disables ad blockers when they see the actual message because even if I might enable js, I’ve never, not once, disabled ad blocker or vpn at a website’s behest.

Google recaptcha on the other hand asks me about motorcycles, traffic lights and busses literally dozens of times in a row

I bet you’re using a firefox based browser. There was a brief period years ago when google captchas worked blazingly fast on firefox. This was shortly after mozilla very publicly denounced google for intentionally sabotaging firefox users.

Please stop peddling this sensationalist garbage. What the article throws out of proportion for clicks is that one dumbass from binance googled homebrew, clicked the first result (ad/scam), and then blindly ran the extremely suspicious command to “install” homebrow. AI had little to nothing to do with it.

Whether you’re for or against AI, garbage journalism like this should piss you off.

Let’s say you get your wish and everyone is judged on their ability to play chess. You now have two prospective employees for an administrative role and both have a similar chess rating. Which of their other skills or achievements are you going to factor when making your decision?

Then they would still fare poorly against those who both excel at chess and have gone to college.

This sounds overly optimistic bordering on delusional. There are countless examples of courts siding with authorities based on nothing but their say so and this case is a perfect candidate to ‘make an example’ out of someone uncooperative with said authorities. It’s easy to discount the stress of having a potential 5 year term hanging over you when you’re not on the receiving end of it.

Unless you’re deliberately looking to fight the fight (unlike the majority of people who find themselves in this situation), the plausible deniability provided by a more discrete wipe would keep both your data and you personally safe.

When you enter the wipe passcode, iirc the screen flashes and the phone reboots / wipes - that’s how they were clued in that he ‘did something’ and that’s why he’s being charged and faces 5y in prison for the act.

A hidden wipe would have prevented this.

Called bullshit as soon as I read they were accusing him of kiddie stuff.

This is why GrapheneOS’s passcode feature is more likely to land you in trouble - it’s too “hostile”

I’d rather it load an empty profile while it wipes everything in the background.

All valid questions I’m curious about myself, but from my cursory look at this specific study, they only took a very broad look at vegetable intake involvement, specifically along the lines of “Does the reduction in dementia risk hold true even for people with a high veg vs low veg diet?”

So even if your hypothesis seems reasonable, I’d hesitate to make any assumptions without research backing it up. Not to mention I don’t even know if the present study even holds water, considering the number of such studies that end up being ‘tabloid’ level research.

Enforcing what? It’s up to your email service to adopt the change. The way it currently works was probably okay for the early days of the internet when people had just started using emails, but now that so much private and sensitive financial information passes through your email account, it makes little sense that the same credential you use to login to your email account (email id) is also what you must use when some random website forces you to register in order to access it, just so they can send you massive volumes of unsolicited spam.

Certainly a simpler change with more potential to do good relative to the ease of enforcing a convoluted passkey-slash-usb-slash-save-this-file-somewhere-safe implementation

Not quite. The way I read it, the editorialized title (wrongly) says that mushrooms give +75% dementia resistance but that the effects do not stack with vegetable intake’s unspecified x%.

Meanwhile the study only goes as far as to say the dementia risk remains reduced even in people with an already high vegetable intake.

In other words, add mushrooms to your present diet - don’t replace all your veggies with mushrooms (assuming you take the results at face value).

A lot of contradiction in your opinion ( at least as far as blaming the need for masculinity goes). As you pointed out yourself, toilets can be gross to sit on, and by now most people know what ‘clean’ toilets are really like under uv light. And that’s the only reason why, unless it’s my own toilet, I’m never sitting down on one to pee or poop.
