I think generating and sharing sexually explicit images of a person without their consent is abuse.

That's distinct from generating an image that looks like CSAM without the involvement of any real child. While I find that disturbing, I'm morally uncomfortable criminalizing an act that has no victim.

If it was all of Europe, I'd agree. That explanation seems improbable for just two countries.

I'm content if my shoe cost is under $10/month. You're just over a tenth that. It would be hard to get the number lower and still have reasonable comfort and protection from the shoes.

That would be interesting to find out.

Well there's my surprising fact of the day.

Looks like it's just one officer, but it seems like they could do outreach and intelligence sharing without someone permanently stationed there.

Even if that assumption were correct, the mayor of NYC cannot meaningfully aid or hinder Israel's actions. A politician's position on an issue far outside the scope of the office they're seeking doesn't usually influence my vote.

But Cuomo tried very hard to turn it into a referendum on Mamdani’s views on Israel and Palestine—and the media establishment took the bait.

It's weird this is an issue in a mayoral campaign in the USA. The role has no foreign policy authority whatsoever, and Palestine/Israel is 5700 miles from NYC.

Unsolicited photography tip: your phone camera's sensor is 4:3. Setting the aspect ratio to anything else crops the image and can make fitting subjects that aren't tall and skinny in the frame difficult.

This is true even if the phone calls a different aspect ratio "full".

It had been the norm for phones, then Android came along and a much more PC-like level of capability became the norm for phones. SafetyNet didn't show up until five years later and it didn't get significant negative press.

It's weird this didn't get more pushback on mobile. Even the mainstream press was critical when Microsoft proposed it for PCs.

 

Some friends have safety concerns that mean they need to appear digitally as if they're inside the USA while being elsewhere physically. Standard commercial VPNs are easy to detect (else I'd recommend Mullvad), so they need an option that looks like a residential connection.

They could potentially DIY it by leaving a VPN server at a relative's house, but I'm asking here for subscription services. It's best if they have a Mac OS app that's foolproof, with a clear visual indication that it's in use, and a feature to block traffic if the VPN is disconnected.

tl;dr: what's the closest residential VPN to Mullvad?
