  • Sigh, one photo is a publicity photo with good lighting, where she is prepared and ready for the shoot, the other is a terrible photo, shit lighting, super low resolution, where she was unprepared or simply did not want her photo being taken.

    The images are so different that I can’t tell if it is the same person in both photographs.

    The makeup isn’t even in the top 20 differences between the photos.

    You can make zero judgement on the impact of makeup based on these photos




  • There are several governments in Europe and abroad that have ordered DNS lookups for specific domains to be blocked.

    They probably mean that we can’t trust the government to keep information free and need a way to restrict governments from blocking DNS lookups.

    Unfortunately, you can’t really do DNS in a decentralized manner as the concept is based on a hirarchy.

    Example:

    If you want to go to www.coolsite.org your computer would make the following requests:

    • Hey root server, who handles requests for .org?
    • Hey .org DNS server, who handles requests for .coolsite.org?
    • Hey .coolsite.org DNS server, who is www.coolsite.org?

    I don’t really know how to decentralize this…

    The way I see stuff like this is that you don’t have to hand over your information on a silver platter directly to the agents.

    Like when a trainload of east germans was allowed to migrate to the west through a separate country, they just had to hand their passports to the Stasi before being let go.

    When the Stasi agents came to the train to collect the passports the east germans just threw them on the floor instead of handing them over, that is kinda how this should be viewed.

    So far I have yet to hear about another car maker making a car that locks the doors in a fail deadly way, or another car manufacturer that requires dismantling the interior to get to the emergency door opener…

    Then you have the Cybertruck, a vehicle so insanely dumb that only a ketamine fueled bender with a group of yes men could have created it, I mean it can’t really be used or the finnish is runied.

    That is just not comparable to other car makers.

    I drive a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV, I like it, but I am no fanboy for Seat or any other VAG brand, we don’t need fanboys, we need critical thinking, and if a cars doors was reported to fail deadly, I would not buy that car, regardless of how excellent it may otherwise be.
