Would have to redo the math for sure.

Those are small fry numbers for an economy the size of Germany, Norway just announced 7.8 billion. But it's a start.

Thanks! I'm saving this in my notes for future reference!

We need to think of some then!

How about:

Atheists: what are some good comforting words to use in place of religious/metaphysical crap like this or thoughts and prayers?

It's investment vs payoff. I want to get a feed up and running, then I can tailor it as needed. My feed from using starter packs at Bluesky ended up better than 10+ years at Twitter trying to follow people individually, mostly because I was able to oursource the work of finding people with an interest in certain things to people who have put in the time to do this manually which I don't have the desire to do.

It may just be that the Twitter format isn't a good fit for me, but it worked at Bluesky in a way it didn't work anywhere else using that style of communication.

That takes a long time. I tried the same on Mastodon and ended up losing interest. I went to bluesky and just followed some starter packs and was up and running in less than an hour with 1000+ follows and a nice feed. Within a few weeks I had more than 700 followers myself.

Building up a good list of follows on Mastodon is orders of magnitude harder than on Bluesky unfortunately. They need to address this if they want adoption.

Don't worry, orders are being canceled as we speak.

Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals. in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] realitista@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

I disagree. Apple should not force other companies' products to work in an inferior way to their own. They already tried to force us all onto wireless headphones by removing the jack. They need to at least allow the 3rd party ones access to the same pairing and multihoming tech they use for their own. Openness is never a bad thing IMO.

Original Title: TIL research has found that swearing can reduce the perception of pain (providing a measurable analgesic effect) by as much as 33%. Because swearing is processed in so many different parts of the brain at once, it’s more effective than almost anything else at distracting from pain and discomfort.

Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices [ESP32] (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

Archive: https://archive.is/2025.03.08-191658/https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/undocumented-backdoor-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/

The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains an undocumented "backdoor" that could be leveraged for attacks.

The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence.

This was discovered by Spanish researchers Miguel Tarascó Acuña and Antonio Vázquez Blanco of Tarlogic Security, who presented their findings yesterday at RootedCON in Madrid.
