This increasing interest in biometric data, not just from "X", is concerning to say the least

Because GitHub has load balances that direct traffic occasionally through a server hosted under Chinese jurisdiction.

Where the hell did you get that from? Do you have a source for that?

If you're downloading manually there aren't really a lot of advantages to this I think, unless you search through 10 or more sites every time. For automated downloads using sonarr/radarr/lidarr/.. it's pretty mandatory.

That seems to be the trend nowadays, repeating the same thing as if they were trying to meet a quota. Often I see articles about a single tweet of about 100 characters, just summarizing the tweet several times with no additional info. Generating an article with AI would probably be even better now, especially when it's just a summary of a study.

For me personally it's easier to watch a video than to read a blog post or whatever these days. That's mostly because I can listen/watch while doing chores. However, if I need to use it later there's just no way I can find it or find what was in it. I like the format of Theprimeagen in particular when he goes over blog posts, I can always refer to that when I want to. So I'd say:

• videos as a replacement for written media: no
• videos as an addition to written media: yes

I think Supabase does this well. The documentation is there, videos are more specific and lengthy

There are still plans with data caps in Belgium, this is limited to the "cheapest" plans though at about 30 EUR a month

So that's about 2.95M USD or 2.7M EUR, I wouldn't go to prison for 18 years for that amount of money that's for sure.

Maybe his 4D chess move is trying to push everyone to federated apps, what a great guy!

He's probably having a fit over everyone blocking him from their feeds

What is with everyone's obsession, government or company, to moderate the web. It's seriously depressing and exhausting.

I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing

In Belgium, the RRN (SSN) is considered confidential data and its use is restricted to specific purposes, typically related to administrative, legal, or public interest matters. To ask for RRN, you'd need authorization and it's highly unlikely you'd get it just to validate someone's social media account.

Did they try turning it off and not on again? 🙃
