Oh he's successful and popular. He's also quite controversial. He did advertise "golden pyramids", which he claimed had all sorts of magical healing properties, and were obviously a scam. Here's his own interview covering the topic: www.radiosvoboda.org/a/30071760.h...

Two hints you can use without knowing the tech: 1) Biometric authentication works offline, which tells you it does not need cloud. 2) GDPR is quite restrictive on biometrics, so if you live where it applies, and dealing with a non-sketchy company with EU presence, ...

As for trusting if you don't know the tech, that's kind of always an issue with any tech. Even if you do know the tech, there's theoretically always a risk your device could be hacked or the company could be lying. That's an unavoidable aspect of using _any_ tech, unfortunately. But:

Biometric authentication exists because it sells well, and it sells well because most users (me included) see it as convenient. You can always avoid using it if you so prefer.

entity-brewer.bsky.social @entity-brewer.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Biometrics as an alternative should be _mostly_ fine too. When biometric authentication is used on your phone, the app does not receive the biometric data, only the operating system does.

entity-brewer.bsky.social @entity-brewer.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
When you use passkey, your biometric data is not transferred to the site. And there are plenty of ways to use passkeys without biometrics.

When I was younger, I naively believed that if the genocides of the past had occurred in our age of developed social media, the world would have stopped them sooner. ​And then Ukraine was attacked in this very age of developed social media: an era where everyone has their own "version of truth";

From my perspective outside the US, it was a big story in 2013, but now that it happens every few years, it's "nothing new, the US doing its usual political ritual". Same for the debt ceiling / impending default every few years.

EU and the US imposed direct sanctions on russia back in 2022, but those are not good enough as russia just sells its oil to China and India instead. As a Ukrainian, I'm rooting for secondary sanctions - those can save lives. The caveat is that I doubt he'll do it - TACO.

I have googled (before Gemini) something similar. Because normal rest heart rate is allegedly 60-100, but my watch says mine is ~49-52. Apparently it's both common and _probably_ fine. I'm too fat to call myself much of an athlete though.

A previously unreported order by Elon Musk to cut satellite communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022. Reuters investigated the billionaire's order and its implications for countries increasingly reliant on his Starlink internet service.

I still see people in media and elsewhere referring to Igor Girkin as the "former Donbas separatist" or "leader of Donbas separatists". He is neither. He is a Russian intelligence agent. A Russian mercenary. And a wanted Russian war criminal.

Though looking at the video, that's not particularly relevant as the guy uses public bicycle, where bicycle bags that attach at the back are not usually an option.

For cycling specifically - meh: once it's 30C+, your back will be sweaty, and your backpack will be covered in white salty stains. Upgrading to a bicycle bag that attaches at the back of the bicycle was 100% worth it.

There's pressure from the UK and Europe to, and maybe there's hope to get some of the intelligence and aid back. I suspect it's kinda futile though, similar to the negotiations with russia in Istanbul in March 2022.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

The cool thing about DeepSeek is that the model weights are published under free and open source license, so literally anyone can run a server hosting it. There are already cloud providers and will be apps hosting the same model based in democratic countries with solid regulations.

During COVID, I ordered meal kits, where they ship you the recipes and the ingredients to cook them. So... I no longer use the service, but I kept and still cook some of their recipes, specifically because they _really_ are 45 minutes and don't require advanced equipment, techniques or ingredients.
