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.

It 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/

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.

True, but at least in America bikes alone are not a great option.

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.

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.

Fixed it! Thank you.

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.

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.

The Autobahn is a very well engineered German highway system. It is well known but was also was constructed during Nazi Germany.

While it was built by evil people, it still is a fantastic highway system that is used today.

Great analogy and perspective.

The piece was definitely slanted.

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.

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.

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.

It blows my mind that New Horizons flew by years ago and sent so much data that scientists are still discovering new information regarding Pluto.

Well it’s international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.

Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn’t make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

And that’s why we will never have peace in the middle east. Both sides argue for violence and both sides only conduct emotional responses.

Emotional responses don’t lead to any solutions. Only reason will create a peaceful two state solution.

Let’s please try to keep the comments constructive.
