This pretty much solves the problem of too many bots, but only in a way that works with Cloudflare and does not help the rest of the web. They don't mention any possibility of specifying a different platform to route payments through for instance.

I would presume they are talking about how Java is executed by the Java language's Java VM while Bedrock is compiled C++ code?

Another interesting protocol that supports LoRa is Reticulum, which uses an announce based system for bandwidth efficiency instead of Meshtastic's flood based routing.

Executing JavaScript on random pages seems like quite a bad idea, spammers could potentially include links to JavaScript which does resource intensive things, like that small and sketchy trend of including Bitcoin miners in websites.

Technically this is a dupe as this has been submitted twice before in the last week

> Game publisher Tencent

Tencent is not a game publisher, while it does have a games division which publishes video games, that is one thing it does, not all of them.

Tencent is a Chinese multinational company that is the largest video games vendor and is also among the largest social media, venture capital, and investment corporations. It also owns the Chinese social media app WeChat.

I'm pretty sure the article is more recent than that... After some searching I found the Conversation's RSS feed for technology[1] which says it was 2025 after searching the page for "internet" and looking through the results

Wouldn't it be a better idea to use the original blog post direct from Lets Encrypt[1]?

Star Trek: Discovery is... Something.

In my opinion, it's one of the worst (non canon now) Star Trek shows but it does get marginally better if you can struggle through the first season or two.

I would not recommend it unless you have nothing else to watch

This looks very interesting but Show HNs need to be usable easily without making an account

If it functions exactly as an AirTag does then it would be hard as they would not want to block all previously sold AirTags

I believe the Bluesky posts were organic and likely due to the fact it was a sudden Twitter replacement that at its peak was gaining 1 million users a day.

> Meanwhile, smart TVs made by Hisense and Samsung which were tested by Which? asked for people's postcodes during set-up.

I would guess that they would then sell that information along with the IP address to a company such as Maxmind who make IP location databases

> zero water > ultra-low Water Usage Effectiveness Those seem like contradictory statements. Ultra low is not zero.

I've been thinking about making a Discord bot like bot on Bluesky recently... Embeds can be messed with, like on discord and posts beginning with "#mention /" ought to be easy enough to detect
