  • A big one is when an advert is made to look and feel like organic content. The “Ad” flag (legally required) is in faint small font like someone forced them to have it there.

  • Tunnels once connected Egypt and Gaza. Here's what they looked like 10 years ago
  • From the article, they seem to have figured out temperature control. So Mole people might be less agitated than a Vancouver wild-fire neighbor :)

  • Why Even Your Local Grocery Store Wants Your Digital Data
  • And even if you ‘exit’ to the woods, you’ll be easy to note, just by your absence (When the majority of the population are present, it is easier to note who is absent).

  • Massive flooding in Eastern Libya claims over 8,000 lives

  • Lemmy (and the fediverse) and GDPR: a clusterfuck waiting to happen?
  • Then it should be the responsibility of the EU people to avoid joining the fediverse. I do not see a practical way to align with GDPR. The effort is non-trivial and the rewards are extremely minimal.

    From your perspective, what should be the way out?
