Just a guy trying to promote discourse, photography, freedom, good food, and reason.

Personal privacy is a passion of mine.

I heard somewhere that Microsoft was blocking access to the kernel for third party developers like CrowdStrike and EA because of what CrowdStrike did. Have they reversed course?

If you buy one used that is how you can get around giving Google money.

From a security standpoint it might give you a temporary benefit since all of Google’s tracking IDs will be associated with the original owner. On a new phone I figure it’s associated with you immediately.

I will act through engagement.

When you use escalatory language you just just make the Nazis justify their actions by the response they receive.

In another tense moment in American history, the Civil rights movement of the 1960s, MLK was successful due to not being militant. Peaceful action and the strong overreaction of those against civil rights elicited sympathy in those not involved.

The fuck the high road mentality is what likely motivated the shooter and got us into this mess.

There is no reason to escalate what is already a tense political situation.

But can you trust that a user will pick a difficult to break password? They likely will pick something simple to remember but that is not a good password.

The we are just back to essentially having a plaintext password because if the attacker has a good dictionary, it will be easy to crack.

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.

For my truck, I ended up looking in the owners manual and found a fuse that is for the modem. I removed it and the vehicle functions without issue.

I know it works because when I brought it to the dealership to get serviced they said they couldn’t connect to it via their online service app. They also asked if I had tried to connect to it via the company app on my phone. I just told them I never needed to.

Just to be sure I verified they didn’t reinstall the fuse and they had not.

Thanks for the heads up on the broken link! I fixed it.

That’s your opinion on what is and isn’t a great analogy.

Hopefully the maintainers of the project will be more considerate in the future.
