@muheediva01 Around Europe some countries have InPost which is network of pickup points, including airports. You can both use it to send over staff that you can’t take, or send over whole suitcases (cheaper than registered luggage lol). They even sell bags that perfect fit to their boxes 🤪

Mój apel do władz i narodu ukraińskiego w związku z nadaniem jednej z ukraińskich jednostek imienia „bohaterów UPA”.

Dla nas Polaków 🇵🇱 ta decyzja jest nie do zaakceptowania. Budzi ona głęboki ból, niepokój i sprzeciw.

Ukraina walczy dziś w obronie swojego państwa, a także o bezpieczeństwo Polski i całej Europy. Powinniśmy budować przyszłość doceniając bohaterstwo dzisiaj walczących.

Przyjaźń i dobre relacje pomiędzy naszymi narodami wymagają prawdy.

@msprungk Oj nie wiem - poza słabym nadawcą wygląda na prawdę ładnie. Nawet może zbyt i pachnie mocno AI, ale starsze pokolenie spokojnie by kliknęło po więcej. Jakby tam był jeszcze adres dostawy z któregoś z wycieków, to niestety gwarantowane 😢

.@vonderleyen "The European #AgeVerification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..."

I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious #privacy issue.

The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well.

But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly.

For NFC biometric data:
It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.

For selfie pictures:
Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.

This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary.

From a #GDPR standpoint:
Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach.

Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking. For hundreds of years, mathematics had dozens of “basic” functions: sine, cosine, logarithm, square root, exponential. You know these from school. Everyone does. Now it turns out that all of it is one single operator:
E(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y), and the constant 1.
Sin, cos, π - everything follows from this neatly , just nest it properly. Nature hid the simplest possible description of reality. And it was just been found. The whole thing is beautiful and remarkable, here the word “groundbreaking” is not a marketing buzzword.
For instance, instead of writing π or 3.14, one can now elegantly write E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,1),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1)),1))),1)),1)),1)),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1),1),1))),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1)

i accidentally discovered one of the coolest features on the internet

the Wikipedia app has a "nearby" feature that shows wikipedia articles around your location!

i opened it and instantly fell into a rabbit hole of random places, local history and weird things around me

try it and tell me what shows up near you

@KiribatiGov @JackieLeonard01 Well, obviously. That transport was indeed bound for “Poland”.
@KITKAT , could that have been just a minor navigation error? 🗺️

@piotrekzet1 @krzysztofgil @audikom No właśnie trudniej - jak pokazać to dzisiaj , zwłaszcza tym którzy nigdy nie mogli doświadczeń ograniczeń. Może jakiś cykl wywiadów z PL w UK jak to jest po Brexit?

[Wojtek Jukowski @siodmy]

@krzysztofgil @audikom @piotrekzet1 Pamiętam jak mijając Piotrów przez te 2-3 km jechało się Autostradą A1. Te kilka minut czuło się jak w innym świecie; tym niedostępnym. Jest jednocześnie smutne, jak wiele osób nie potrafi docenić, że udało się to zmienić.
