There are hypotheticals precisely because Tiktok is not transparent enough. It sounds like they’re doing an estimate on the best data publically available.

At the very least, this put pressure on Tiktok to be more transparent. Tiktok could prove the study wrong by publishing more about their energy and resource use.

Medias and part of the public pay more attention to CEO’s welfare and wellbeing than random people’s wellbeing, making some crime even more high-profile.

This put extra pressure on law enforcement to focus on some crimes at the expense of others. Police doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Police need to better protect average people, but this probably require both changes in police and in culture more broadly.

That’s both smart and worrying.

Disabling interconnexion shows what still work, and what breaks when only the country’s own network is accessible. Doing multiple short tests allows gradually building a more isolated network while limiting disruptions.

Is there a server component, or is everything running in the browser?

I may further stereotype her, but I’ll point out she was traveling from Florida. The headline could read “Florida woman…”

Supporting SciHub and Archive.org, or just not suing them, would also help.

Publishers decided to sue unfortunately:

• US court grants Elsevier millions in damages from Sci-Hub
• Internet Archive Opposes Publishers in Federal Lawsuit

Several medias report toppling of Assad and rebels entering Damascus. But the plane crash is unconfirmed.

Also, don’t assume the new ruler(s) will behave much better than Assad.

HTS is Syria’s strongest rebel group and some Syrians remain fearful it will impose draconian Islamist rule or instigate reprisals.

Regardless, their government will express outrage.

The mobile standard setter, GSMA, and Google have said encryption will be coming to RCS, but there’s no firm date yet.

GSMA, please don’t come up with yet another poorly designed encryption standard.

The IETF is already working on Messaging Layer Security (MLS), please work with IETF and adopt MLS. IETF have more experience and do a good job at designing secure protocols. And multiple organisations and services are already working on adapting MLS (Mozilla, Google, Matrix, Wire, …)

Let’s take that opportunity to highlight her prejudices.

She expresses homophobia, actor stereotype. And she links this war to religion, whereas those are barely related, if related at all.

This tells more about that influencer than about Ukraine’s president

As an alternative to newspaper and magazine subscriptions, go to your local library’s (website).

My library card allows me to access a bunch of newspaper and magazines online, and cost me just a very low yearly fee.

Option B

la fin du carnet de ticket vendu à tarif réduit pour promouvoir à la place le pass Liberté +

Je découvre Liberté +, est-ce relativement nouveau ? Ça semble utile pour les personnes utilisant le métro/bus occasionnellement ou irrégulièrement, autrement dit les cas où un abonnement est inadapté

Liberté + semble intéressant pour certains usage perso mais le système de paiement est beaucoup plus contraignant qu’un carnet :

• Obligation de fournir un RIB, à priori pas d’espèce ni de CB. Ça exclu des personnes déjà marginalisées n’ayant pas de compte en banque.
• Chaque mois, les déplacements sont comptabilisés et sont facturés le mois suivant. Je craint que ça bloque le remboursement des note de frais si le travailleur demande la prise en charge d’un déplacement avec 1 mois de retard.

I’m not from the US, but know about the kind of cups you’re talking about. They’re common everywhere at fast food, and other restaurants selling food to go.

They’re indeed designed for using a straw. When having lunch outside I typical bring a water bottle. Then buy food without drink, or refill if there’s a dispenser. It helps avoid unhealthy sodas, and avoid the cup and straw altogether.

Why use straws at all?

Straws are useful for babies, the elderly or disabled who are unable to drink from a glass without making a mess.

Hopefully you’re able to drink from a glass, and don’t need a straw.

Why not stopping use of BOTH plastic straws and wasteful LLMs?

Ça semble en effet plausible. Dans ce cas ça ne concernerait pas toute la population. On verra tôt ou tard ce qu’il est en.

La mention d’historique de transaction est étrange. Il me semble qu’en tant que banque centrale elle ne propose pas de comptes aux particuliers ou entreprises, c’est le travail des banques commerciales.
