I'm 42 in Canada and just got the first shot yesterday. Doctor prescribed it because I'm getting psoriasis and I guess that puts you at a higher risk of developing shingles. With the prescription, it was fully covered.

More specifically, a person presenting with psoriasis has already been at higher risk.

Meta uses the in app browsers to inject trackers on every site you visit. https://krausefx.com//blog/ios-privacy-instagram-and-faceboo...

Probably others doing the same. I always open pages in full safari and use NextDns to block trackers in all apps.


This is heavily dependent on whether the app is using a WKWebView, in which the app developer has almost total control over the experience or SFSafariViewController, which essentially provides a mini-Safari with back/forward/reload/reader mode buttons with a button in the lower right hander corner that takes you to full Safari. In the latter case, the app developer has very little customization and cannot see or really control what is happening inside of the web view.


You have it backwards: whether an app injects tracking is not a result of whether they use WKWebView of SFSafariViwController. Rather, if they want to inject tracking, they _will_ use WKWebView.

Cloudflare has free AI Labyrinths if your goal is to target AI. The bots follow hidden links to a maze of unrelated content, and Cloudflare uses this to identify bots. https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/


Do you think Meta AI's llama 4 failed so badly cause they ended up crawling a bunch of labrynths?


TL;DR: Some code looking for Windows 95 or 98 only looked for "Windows 9" to match both, and would have matched Windows 9.

Now Apple has the year in the OS version we'll have people wondering in a few years what happened to iOS 19-25.

I worked on a codebase that had this bug, so I’m not sure where you’re getting “this is false” from.

We sold software that was installed long-term at customer sites, and they weren’t going to update it until they needed to, so the bug persisted in production well after we fixed it.


Best I can tell it's only libraries that generate those sort of strings, which could just as well report a different string for Windows 9. The actual Windows API even returns the version information for Windows 8 if the application isn't manifested for 10 and onwards.


Company I joined in 2008 had sold software back in 2005 or so which had the bug, and customers were still running it in 2015 when Win10 came out.

The idea that "sensibly designed software wouldn't have this issue, so it must not exist" is absolutely at odds with virtually everything I've seen in my career.


Even if you buy aluminium cans, there's a thin layer of plastic lining to prevent reactions with the metal. I've also noticed lots of paper/cardboard packaging have a plastic coating.


Yes and in many cases that coating is even PFAS.


Oh yes, don’t get me wrong, I am strongly opposed to plastic or PFAS lined anything for food storage, such as cans, coated cardboard, bag in box etc. I was just bringing up aluminum as another material generally considered as recyclable.

I found this similar project recently as well: https://danielpecos.com/2022/12/25/mastodon-as-comment-syste...


They may mean funny as in odd


Where do they imply that they think they’re odd?
