All I can fins online is how to disable previews, but I want to enable them. I can only see the sender and message content on my main admin user, but I try to use it as little as possible.

All notifications on the lock screen are disabled, I don't know if that's relevant.

I've read the old papers proving that fact, but honestly it seems like some of the terminology and notation has changed since the 70's, and I roundly can't make heads or tails of it. The other sources I can find are in textbooks that I don't own.

Ideally, what I'm hoping for is a segment of pseudocode or some modern language that generates an n-character string from some kind of seed, which then cannot be recognised in linear time.

It's of interest to me just because, coming from other areas of math where inverting a bijective function is routine, it's highly unintuitive that you provably can't sometimes in complexity theory.

One of the most robust studies of the 2024 election shows that President Trump’s return to the White House was powered more heavily by his ability to turn out past supporters than by winning over Democratic voters, even as he built one of the most diverse coalitions in Republican Party history.

In the end, the math was simple and significant: A larger share of voters who supported Mr. Trump in the 2020 election — 85 percent — showed up to vote for him again in 2024. Ms. Harris earned the support of just 79 percent of former President Joseph R. Biden’s 2020 voters.

The analysis showed that 5 percent of Mr. Biden’s voters flipped to Mr. Trump, while only 3 percent of Mr. Trump’s 2020 voters flipped to Ms. Harris.

But the bigger factor was turnout: 15 percent of Mr. Biden’s voters did not vote at all in 2024, Pew found.

Yes, this is the same WordStar that George R.R. Martin uses to write Game of Thrones!

On June 22, in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, a group of recently released Belarusian political prisoners appeared in public for the first time. The press conference included blogger and political activist Sergei Tikhanovsky, journalist Ihar Karney, language teacher Natallia Dulina, and 24-year-old activist Kirill Balahonau. Their accounts revealed the extent of repression in Belarusian prisons, detailing years in solitary confinement, forced propaganda viewings, and psychological pressure.

Blogger and presidential candidate Sergei Tikhanovsky, who was arrested in 2020 while attempting to run against Lukashenka [...] was later sentenced to 18 years in prison. Speaking in Vilnius, he described being held under a regime of total isolation and psychological pressure.

“For two and a half years, I wasn’t allowed a single letter. No phone calls to family. For five years, I wasn’t allowed to confess to a priest,” he said. “I couldn’t even buy a toothbrush or soap, for years. They’d give us something from time to time, of course. But even a pen refill was impossible to get, seven kopecks [or 2 cents] each, and even those had to be passed along by other prisoners.”

“Cleaning: four times a day. If you’re not scrubbing constantly, back to SHIZO, a punishment isolation unit. They’d come in, run a hand along the wall: ‘White? Not clean. SHIZO.’ It’s a nightmare. What do you call that, if not torture?” he said.

“Justice in Belarus isn’t dead,” he went on. “It just has a hole in its forehead.”

Asked by journalists how his children had reacted to seeing him, Tikhanovsky grew emotional and cried: his daughter didn’t recognise him.

Other prisoners faced similar pressure [...]

This man's homemade prostheses are awesome!

Check out his creations on his Tiktok and his Youtube channels.

I particularly like his super-cheap prostheses made out of plastic soda bottles, a technique we mentioned here before.
