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.
Recant@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shots15·11 months agoIt is possible the shooter was outside the perimeter. Based on the videos I have seen on CBS, and here: https://www.survivethenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720916992_Potential-Trump-Shooter-Reportedly-Found-Dead-on-Shed-Roof-VIDEO-1024x576.jpg
The shooter appeared to be on a roof far away from the stands.
Edit: Confirmed that the shooter was outside the perimeter setup by secret service https://www.cbsnews.com/news/possible-shots-fired-at-trump-rally-in-butler-pennsylvania/

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.

Over 60 million (1 in 5) Americans live in rural areas. These places don’t have public transportation or are so spread out that bikes are not practical.

The introduction of PFAS into food via containers is something I have been on the look out. That is is why I always use glass containers for food at home.

Recant@beehaw.orgOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Why are US states, school districts banning smartphones in schools?10·11 months agoWell 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.

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

Was what the devs did great? No. Does the whole project need to be outcast/abandoned due to what language they use? No. There needs to be nuance with these issues. Open source does not owe individuals anything and that is why it is provided without warranty. On the flip side, individuals can choose not to use it.
We should be promoting open source software and not have infighting when open source software doesn’t have much mass market appeal to begin with.
Recant@beehaw.orgOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Australia to build Top Secret cloud in AWS for defence usersEnglish2·1 year agoWell 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.
I would caution you about socialism being a way to get to communism.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of communist ideology, believed democratic socialism was a sham and true communism could only be achieved through a violent overthrow of the bourgeois.
The complex restructuring you mentioned is why they thought a transition from socialism to communism would not work.

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.
