The memes are almost as good as right after the midterms. For once, Xitter is full of quality content, and you don’t have to wade through some political crap.

I was just listening to a lecture at work about the cybersecurity threat posed by agents and how careless developers can expose the company to risks. Oh, irony.

They used to say “even a mouse has desires,” now we can say “even Huang has desires.”

I’m humming Simon & Garfunkel’s great song The Sound of Silence: “When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neo cloud…”

My elderly mother is no longer allowed to read the Helsingin Sanomat online edition, even though she pays over €750 a year for her HS subscription.
Apparently, she’d have to buy an additional €5/month subscription just so they won’t sell her data to organized crime.
The notice even covered the entire phone screen while she was logged into HS. Pay up or consent to us selling your data to everyone. She could barely even access her account or log out without choosing to pay or consent—she had to find her way through some microscopic fine print.
Outrageous from Hesari. Below is a picture of my current mood:

Print newspaper prices really are pretty steep these days; you genuinely have to shell out several hundred euros to have the paper drop through your letterbox. Understandable in a way, given that printing and logistics for a physical paper are expensive. But for those who can’t use digital, that’s genuinely a lot of money (from a relatively small pension, something like that takes a pretty significant bite).

Just send the feedback directly to Hesari! They won’t see this, except maybe for one of their financial journalists.
750+60 eur a year is just pure bullsh*t.
Maybe include Captain Haddock in the feedback too,

Didn’t they change that policy a week or two ago under external pressure? So now the only mandatory cookie is the one needed for Hesari’s own purposes, and you can block the other cookies. At least that’s how I recall blocking those cookies on Ilta-Sanomat a while back. And the price is €0.

Documents from the 60s were most likely not printed with a laser printer. In my experience, it is specifically toner powder from prints made with laser printers or copiers (largely the same technology) that transfers onto plastic sleeves.

My school promises one (1) certified copy if the original is destroyed, but only if they have a duplicate in their archives. They don’t mention on their website which year they started collecting them… but yeah, a bank document custody service could be a good option and cheaper than a safe deposit box.
Meanwhile in Europe

Does a financially independent person even need those certificates for anything anymore? I just keep my university degree certificate at home in a cupboard along with other miscellaneous papers. As for my employment references, I can’t even remember where they are. Maybe some points-based immigration system in some country, or visa facilitation for professionals in certain fields?

Here’s a fast car for once that wouldn’t need much tweaking to be well-suited for Finnish conditions as well.

I noticed that Kirsti Paakkanen’s place has been put up for sale, and apparently the press has noticed too.

Just so you know, there’s no point sending any honeypot agents after me; it would end badly. Those agents could hardly resist my rugged charisma and would blab your precious state secrets to me—even though I’m not particularly interested in them, that’s just the effect I have on women.

This is good to know in advance so you don’t get startled:
“On November 24, a loud alarm sound will blast from Finns’ phones, lasting for ten seconds. The alarm will sound even if the device is completely muted.”
They are testing a new alert system:
