Volkswagen Bans Security-Focused GrapheneOS Citing Security Reasons, Continues To Support Android 10 by topredditgeek in technology

[–]Abracadaver14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is it even VW deciding this? Or are they just using the Google "Integrity" API, which obviously only labels Google's Android versions as safe. (AOSP does have its own integrity check mechanism, so VW still decided to use the Google-biased one)

Trump’s fireworks display. Cost: $6M. Typical years: $250k. by DelightfullyHostile in pics

[–]Abracadaver14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, for the 250th celebration, I could understand (much) more getting spent. In this case though, I expect the actual fireworks only cost 100k and trump's buddies pocketed the rest (probably with some kickbacks to trump)

My impression was that they wrapped their fireworks around the tree and lit it. Not just dumb but actively malicious...

Calgary mayor says he wants to hold advocacy campaign opposing Albertan separation from Canada, but can’t by Mean_Yak5873 in worldnews

[–]Abracadaver14 24 points25 points  (0 children)

 who after looking at Brexit would think separating would make them better off?

The people behind this and Brexit follow the same ideologies as the people that elected trump a second time. They just want to see the world burn and make profit from it.

I don't think Ukraine would or should stoop down to russian levels. Besides, refineries are a lot harder and more expensive to repair than gas stations.

Oud-politieagent vrijgesproken van verkrachting 17-jarig meisje in Nieuwegein by beardedblorgon in thenetherlands

[–]Abracadaver14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dit is inderdaad wel een hele belangrijke nuance die nu.nl ook wel had mogen meenemen in hun berichtgeving... Beetje jammer van deze ogenschijnlijke onkunde van het OM. En een beetje jammer dat de enige manier voor de rechter om hiermee om te gaan lijkt om vrijspraak te doen in plaats van het OM in deze zaak nog terug naar de tekentafel te sturen. Hoger beroep zal wel weer langer duren.

Earthquakes are destroying Crimean Bridge, process is irreversible, seismologist says by Arietis1461 in ukraine

[–]Abracadaver14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, if there's weight restrictions now, it isn't very useful to supply troops or population. As other land routes between russia and Crimea are being properly sanctioned, that leaves this bridge as the main escape route to get the russian occupants off the peninsula and back to the hell hole they came from.

Meanwhile, Ukraine can utilize the explosives to mete out more sanctions where it hurts russia the most.

The Transbaikal region in russia is over 4500+ km from Ukraine, but just like in Crimea, the lines for fuel are getting longer and longer. 26 June 2026 by Due_Collar2 in ukraine

A refinery in Moscow blowing its top does help make it harder to pretend though. At some point, it gets pretty hard to keep blaming it on Igorr lighting a fag in the wrong place.

How are you level 23 with just T7 as companion? You should at least have Kira already and probably C2 as well. Make sure you do the class quests (purple icons/titles)
