Well I don’t think that is the case. Parents and teachers are observing students not paying attention.

I would think if an educator can teach a full lesson, while also ensuring that students retain the information, when the student is watching YouTube, endlessly scrolling reddit or lemmy, or on Instagram this wouldn’t be an issue.

The problem is that students aren’t retaining the knowledge being provided to them.

Yes that metadata can exist but can’t that be obscured if AWS isn’t connected to directly?

I think some of the technical details of how the ASD intends to ensure data protection/confidentiality/integrity are omitted for national security reasons.

Well I would think that if the customer, in this case the Australian Signals Directorate, encrypted all data prior to going to AWS, it would be protected from any data mining that Amazon does.

I am sure that the ASD isn’t just posting the information unencrypted on AWS or solely trusting Amazon’s encryption where Amazon also has a copy of the key.

True but in this case it’s not populace deciding to make the food import ban, it’s the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They are using this opportunity to create a impact on Japan’s economy which is already struggling under the strain of inflation the country hasn’t experienced in decades.

It is just political posturing and nothing else. Not out of concern for the Chinese people.

I really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don’t see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack.

I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones.

Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn’t have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones

I wonder why your username is AggressivelyPassive. More like AggressivelyAggressive ha.

That’s true but couldn’t that also be said for the rare earth metals used in batteries to power phones and EVs?

No energy production is perfect. Just good to look at the pros and cons.

I don’t understand the hostility. Germany made a conscious decision to turn off their nuclear power plants.

Facts are facts. Nuclear power is the 2nd safest power generation method per terawatt hour. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

Additionally there are ways to recycle nuclear fuel. Most often the arguments against nuclear are fueled by emotion and not fact based.

I wonder if they would ever reconsider what they did for the deactivation of nuclear power plants.

This link is to the same article. Was there a reason for posting it?

It doesn’t make sense while if this data, that would usually require a warrant if not already being sold, is allowed to be collected by companies.

Companies may argue that users consent to this in the terms and conditions of when they start using the product but what about those users that aren’t a Google, Facebook or “insert tech corporation here” user? Those users never consented to data collection but their data is being collected just the same.

The issue is not the government buying this data. That is just a symptom of the root cause which is lack of consumer privacy laws.

I really enjoy Darknet Diaries. It is unfortunate he went to a once a month release cycle but I understand it is for a better work life cycle.

If you are a fan of Darknet Diaries I would also recommend Hacked. It has two hosts which have a good dynamic. Plus they don’t touch politics so it avoids any controversy.

What are you talking about?

Is it not possible for two different people to share similar opinions?

I’m glad you pointed this out. We need to move past the “this person said something I don’t agree with so I will never interact with them again”

Identity politics are bad and we should not be beholden to them.

People and their technical knowledge are more than their political views.

Yeah the privacy issues are the largest concern.

However I think because consumers have become used to having cameras and microphones in their house it will likely not be addressed to the degree it needs to be.

Why is Ubuntu pushing snaps so hard? Is there objectively a benefit to them apart from Flatpak?

It seems like an odd hill to die on.

Yes Russians (Wagner Mercenaries) have started fighting the Russian Army.

The leader of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin says his fight is against Russian defense leadership. He has not openly said anything against Putin at least from what I’ve seen.

However, don’t mistake this guy for some sort of “freedom fighter” he is still very much in support of the invasion of Ukraine and just thinks the Russian defense leadership has lost its focus and is using the conflict mostly for career advancement.

Well the fact that they are saying it was a catastrophic implosion leads to the thought that it was crushed in a very short amount of time maybe even a few seconds so I doubt they had time to drown.

It’s crazy to see things like this and then also think about all the attacks and intrusions that aren’t caught and are still ongoing.

The vulnerability with Moveit is just one vulnerability and there are certainly many others that we don’t know about.

Just goes to show you that just because you aren’t hearing about intrusions, doesn’t mean they aren’t ongoing.
