yeah definitely salmon egg would be the wrong kind of egg

This kinda sounds so stupid I had to fact check it.

  1. Obviously they are just asking around everywhere if any country has even capacity of surplus eggs. So the department of agriculture send out letters to several countries. Also Sweden and Netherlands seem to be among them. Probably many more.
  2. Also I asked myself why they would even ask such small countries. It turns out at least Netherlands and Denmark are #4 and 8 of Egg producers in EU. #7 is Ukraine interestingly, maybe this will be part of the ceasefire negotiations xD Anyway here the full list of top egg producers in EU, interestingly Norway is #1: https://essfeed.com/cracking-open-the-european-egg-industry-unveiling-the-top-producers/

Haven't heard about this project before. I was using a self hosted Nextcloud instance so far. What would be the benefit of switching to immich? I guess immich does have some advances features, like the tagging was mentioned, specifically for picture management.

I just learned that before their fundraising round Bluesky called themselves a "public benefit LLC" and I thought thats nice of them to benefit the public 😅 , then I found out about US corporate law and what it actually means...

At least link the full article and not just the headline... smh. Here is also the follow-up article with comments from Firefox's CTO. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Firefox-defends-itself-Everything-done-right-just-poorly-communicated-9802546.html

Honestly mentioning Enchrochat together with other mainstream message clients is kind of misleading. The Enchrochat message client was also E2EE. However Enchrochat was also a company that sold their own mobile phones with a prorietary OS on it together with own sim cards and only those phones were able to connect to each other. And law enforcment had enough evidence that they sold those hardware in shady untracable ways similar to drugs. At that point there was no western government that didn't want to help seizing their infrastructure and taking over their update services for example.

The bigger problem however for the general public is that certain politicians want to break encryption all together by forcing companies to implement backdoors on client side. This has been an ongoing discussion for 2 years in EU parliament and it has to stop: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/now-eu-council-should-finally-understand-no-one-wants-chat-control

I guess with some imagination you could say the muzzle does indeed look dog like but the rest? I mean even if you morph some reptiles into humans you'd get such kind of muzzle. It's not really that "distict" imo, but I get why some would say otherwise.

Found a really good source including a picture of the first edition. It looks like that they were mentioned indeed in the 2nd edition to be more dog like in a sense of voice "yappin like a dog" and smelling like damp dog. Their visuals however were not really dog like. So I assume it was maybe both a mistranlation and an over interpretation of some texts from 2nd edition or just pure free choice from the author of this anime. https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2022/01/dd-monster-spotlight-kobolds.html

Well just recently researchers discovered a campaign installing backdoors on iPhones using a chain of several 0-day expoits or in this case using also 0-click exploits, where no interaction from a user is needed. However those attack chain are so advanced that practically normal law enforcement would never be able to do it. But theoretically yes some well equiped state actors are able to infect you without noticing. If you are really intrested to see how advanced these attack are search for "project triangulation" or watch the recording from last years chaos computer conference: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-11859-operation_triangulation_what_you_get_when_attack_iphones_of_researchers#t=373

thank you for stepping up, I tried to connect with @Alchemy@lemmy.world earlier this year to talk about community topics but I think they are inactive

definitely Progressivist is the most active mod and I agree. There is no rule yet but maybe you'll get into trouble with instance admins posting 100s of picture at once. I think with some common sense you should be fine. Maybe just post your top 10 pictures or strecht it over a period of time so that we get a picture from you each day/week for example
