The real size of Iran
by @the.world.in.maps
made using https://thetruesize.com
@infobeautiful The Iran map is using a Mercator projection, which preserves angles but distorts area. A projection that preserves area would communicate better (more beautifully)
Your source shows a relatively accurate size comparison (projection on a projection). Presentng it in Mercator makes it more dramatic, but inescapably misleads the viewer as to relative area within the map. eg. this Florida - Florida map from your source.

Today I'll explain how zero-knowledge proofs work. Also: Microsoft gives up BitLocker keys; FL mulls age verification; UK may ban VPNs; more bad browser addons; ads-based data leakage; cops fail to redact private Flock data; FTC limits GM car data; more!

Thank you to @FirewallDragons for covering the AI age verification bill being considered in the Florida Legislature! Between this and the Florida App Stores Accountability Act, we have our work cut out for us.
If you live in Florida, please call your state legislators and tell them you oppose these age verification bills!

Age verification laws are being introduced everywhere - including, Florida. 🔞🇺🇸
For Joseph, not knowing his own state had introduced age verification, was the final push he needed to take action and do something. So he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club @mtec
Don't miss this interview with him to find out why he started the club, its aims & goals, & why he chose Tuta Mail. 💪🔐
RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/115927789342211046
Super grateful to @Tutanota for sharing our experience of trying to bring digital rights advocacy to a local level!
Tuta Mail has been the secure, reliable foundation from which we could build this group! Important that we started on the right foot.

It makes a lot more sense that Trump wants to annex Canada when you realize he is about to go to war with NATO over Greenland.
Once the US is at war with 31 NATO countries, having a free Canada — a NATO country — on the northern border suddenly becomes a security risk.
I sincerely hope the American people stops the fascist before he triggers World War 3.

Today, I got an order from an interior design co requesting two lamp bases using my #Florida crackle surface. I’ve only ever used it for the pieces I’ve made for local gallery shows to share my #WildClay experiments with the general public. I mark them NFS and never thought of the pieces as sellable because of the fragility of the surface. I’m pretty excited that the designer accepts the fragility and wants me to use this surface on functional objects.

A video out of #Florida of a young white woman being #abducted by #DomesticTerrorists #ICE
Kudos to the #MiamiHerald journalist who happened to capture the video, but the most chilling sentence In the narrators exposition is almost glossed over, so I emphasize it here,
*****"The Miami Herald said they could not locate the woman after this video was taken"*****
Say goodbye to whoever's daughter/sister this is. #America, can we PLEASE get our heads out of our collective asses ANY DAY NOW???
