  • How do you battle depression by your own?

  • Professional help moght be as simple as antidepressantants. They are cheap and they do help a lot. I have been taking it for about a year and it does help a lot. Currently on a decent dosage of venlafaxine.

    Seriously, they don't do much the first couple of weeks, but after that they do help a lot.

  • Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media

    Jump

  • I am not sure if this is true, maybe I am misunderstanding something. I use GrapheneOS and can use all banking services in Norway just fine. GrapheneOS does have a translation layer or something like that for Google Play Services, is that what you are thinking of?

  • Can you elaborate a bit on the google and apple servers for authentication? My impression was that this system uses its own platform.

  • Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media

  • Everyone in Norway has one, well like 99,99% or something. It is a requirement for banking.

    It is used for all banking services in Norway. When you get your own bank account at 13 or something you also get BankID.

  • You are correct, but i'd like to expand a bit on how it could be solved.

    It requires that all major social networks use BankID for all traffic from Norway.

    Bypassing it would require a VPN, which is a simple hurdle.

    But the major win here is that parents will enforce this. Parents can point to this law and say that they have to be old enough. As long as enough parents enforce this law and the VPN requirement is there, then it will probably be effective enough

  • Not saying you might be right, but this could be solved with a simple API that returns yes/no for the age check, without providing additional information.

  • Do you think your partner looks better with makeup?

    Jump

  • Yes, but shes gorgeous without it as well. She wears little make up, except for some stuff around the eyes. I really like her eyes, and the makeup does make them even prettier.

  • Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?

    Jump

  • And it can be sorted alphabetically in all software. That's a pretty big advantage when handling files on a computer

  • Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

    Jump

  • I am no Microsoft fanboy, but I get the impression people are a bit overly skeptical here.

    I think this is fairly obvious. They have no further use for it, they can either let it rot or they can do the tiniest bit of effort and get some positive PR. It might also just be as simple as an initiative from some employees.

  • TIL about privacy guides

    Jump

  • I have been following their advice for years. I have replaced a couple of services with the suggested alternatives, and use GrapheneOS.

    It is also useful to check their forum for discussion on why something is added/removed/not added

    If you are new to the whole "privacy-thing" my advice would be to start figuring out your own threat model first. They have some guides for that.

    Also remember that even though something does not make the cut to be mentioned as a recommendation, it might still be an improvement over what you currently use. The forums are great for discussions regarding that.
