it gives you, without a boogle account, access to apps you can only find on ‘play store’

It’s “good” for what it’s written for

on lineageOS, for bank apps &c, you probably need it

Scotland interprets the word “brexit” differently. One day they will do the real brexit

“the point” always depends on how you live and what you need. I will use the app in situations where/when i need to check for smartGlasses.

99.99999999% of my life won’t need that verification.

if you’re living and working in situations where what you said in private may ruin your public life, you may always keep it on. (which would bring up other privacy concerns related to Bluetooth)

also !pareidolia@sh.itjust.works

i don’t keep Bluetooth on. I, if/when i use the app, would turn it on to check and turn it back off.

your post history is interesting as a whole. i wanted to see if this was a shared text or a genuine post.

only 10 days ago you posted about wildfires and it came to look for you

may you find all the courage you need to rebuild what you’ve lost

thanks. Now i see Claude as one of the 2 contributors.

time to uninstall

yes, he becomes mister bird when he is making music.

If an app only connects over BT + WiFi, how often is someone really going to use that? I mean you have to be within shouting distanc

i use Briar without internet. I’ve found it after returning from a place where people had phones but there was neither WiFi nor a decent cellular coverage. Briar is perfect for asynchronous messaging and file sharing in a familiar interface when you’re in a group and away from cities.

Also this is vibecoded, which is undesireable in general, but especially so in any kind of secure setting.

where did you find that information? I must have missed that while reading their page.

Two rear lights don’t really make you twice as safe. Silly thing to focus on.

every time i had an incident and the drivers just excused themselves with the “i didn’t see you”, i upgraded my lights to brighter, more visible ones.

except the last one, 2 weeks ago. Now it would be absurd to buy an even brighter light. I just told them to “look” and drive slower if they can’t see. If you don’t see a cyclist using a bike line on a Dutch roundabout under street lights, no bike light can help you.

every Quentin Dupieux movie is a weird movie :)

what’s happening in that picture in picture?

was he drunk?

i agree but i have a hunch about their plans blowing up in their faces

According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.

But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network.

Or are you trying to say you’d rather have a garage than a 10m^2 apartment?

i don’t need a garage, i’m a cyclist. Can’t i choose neither?

And what do you mean by “comes with condensation”?

“condensed: Highly concentrated, or packed into a small space.”

All cities are like that. Property prices and such.

my comment was based on the crumpled lives of many Parisian apartments. I don’t know what people get by downVoting as it is the reality.

I’m not here to defend car based suburban life. I would just like to see the couple in the video visit some of the apartments around those patios.

Unless you’re rich enough to buy an entire floor, you will lack space. Walkability comes with different kinds of prices.

i won’t be defending garages over 10m² city center apartments

that comes with condensation sadly. Most of the apartments around those “patios” are probably smaller than this couple’s garage.
