That’s fine if your bank provides tap-to-pay plastic, but not all do, so you end up more vulnerable to skimmers.

Each contactless payment generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

Coverage of “The Principality of Sealand” and the popularity of Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon probably contributed to the enthusiasm, as well as to the creation of Bitcoin.

The liability is obviously not high enough if keeping and sharing this data works out positively. Even if the parties involved weren’t obviously evil, the risk to the people is too high for them to accept the risk with only trivial, speculative improvements.

Passenger trains out of SPK, a town built by the railroads, leave at 01:15 eastbound or 03:19 westbound, nothing else.

Politics are either practical or vanity.

That kind of thing happens surprisingly often.

I just used Handbrake, but there has been one or two discs that it couldn’t see, presumably due to some overly aggressive protection.

Who can really follow the man in the wide castle?

Now that’s a guy who likes curves!

It has been a while, so maybe I’m wrong, but this is technically an inverse correlation, right?

Naivevil

Kagi also supports bangs, custom bangs, quick bangs, and fine style control.

Nancy was effectively president for Reagan’s second term. People were mad about Biden, but they also hid how far gone Reagan was. FDR, too.

Cute.

I don’t think that degree of optimism is justified.

My notes on this are a little old, but:

No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.

It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @Nibodhika@lemmy.world.

Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

You don’t usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

Thanks for digging into that!

Do you have any references for this? I only ask because “cities are dangerous shitholes” has been a talking point of reactionaries for a long time.
