And normalising it is a good thing all-round. You want privacy to be used for trivial, unimportant things, not for it to be seen as something that only most secret vital things need, and thus something most don’t.

People would be more likely to use it that way.

Pragmatically, is that really any different with a passcode? Someone might not be able to physically force an unlock like with biometrics by moving the relevant body part over, but there’s certainly nothing stopping someone from forcing you to unlock your phone if you had a passcode through by duress. Most thieves would have certainly wised up enough to force you to remove your passcode before leaving, or they’d watch you unlock your phone, and figured out the passcode that way.

I rather doubt that, if in that kind of situation, there would be many who would resist. Your phone is not worth your life for most.

Personally, if I wasn’t doing anything sensitive, like travelling through some countries (like Australia/the US) or going to a protest, I’d probably keep it on. The convenience makes up for it for the most part.

Incineration is a terrible idea indoors. At best, you’ve now got the smell of cooking and pyrolised human juices filling the place, and at worst, is the house being filled with carbon monoxide from the combustion.

Paper would fall under that these days, wouldn’t it? You can’t just fit a word (8 bytes) onto a punch card like the old days, and you’d need billions of the things go even start matching up to modern storage.

The glass is also speaking, as opposed to a third person.

Fair, though in my experience, Debian and Ubuntu weren’t that much better in that regard.

I just went with Arch, because some of the stuff I wanted to use was much newer on it.

I’ve had similar issues with Arch Linux for years. The front panel outright refuses to work on Linux, even after modifying a whole bunch of things.

Your average person is more likely to get frustrated that stuff is broken/doesn’t work, and switch back rather than having to alter module configuration files and things like that to fix it.

I can’t imagine self hosting an LLM-based search engine would be too viable. The hardware demands, even for a relatively small quantised model, are considerable. Doubly so if you don’t have a GPU to accelerate with.

Or a Netflix for children/video editing app for primary schoolers in the early 2000s/late 1900s.

You do get sick, and I would be most surprised if they didnt allow people to look away and take breaks/get support as needed.

Most emergency line operators and similar kinds of inspectors get them, so it would be odd if they did not.

It’s basically the same motivation as people who have a gun and are itching for the apocalypse so they can loose the safeties.

Even saying that it’s righteous violence is ascribing positive motivations that may not exist. They’re just looking for someone to attack, and an alleged paedophile is a socially acceptable target to unleash that violence on.

Not only that, but it both reduces the chance of someone going to get help, because they don’t want to be hunted down, and reporting, because someone who knows of them might not want to see them be lynched, and won’t report them for that reason.

That’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.

But art is also one of the most fundamental things everyone learns to do. Literal children learn to do art, and doodling is something everyone knows how to do.

Although I do think that the issue is exacerbated by the enthusiast-types who will tune a model on someone’s work as a form of vengeance, and smugly brag about how they can have the computer crunch out something approximating their work.

They’re too big to fail. At least, they were, but they’re scaling back these days, so they may be sanctioned sooner or later.

That’s why we should abolish mental health care for soldiers. They’re not physically disabled. Shell shock is just mental weakness, compared to their disabled comrades (!)

No, they are. There was a spam wave some time ago that had people upload gore and other things onto instances.

Except that the numbers are also prone to change, like if it’s been stolen. They’re technically not supposed to be an identification code anyhow.

I was most disappointed when I read that he left the group chat. Missed opportunity for some top-class trolling:

Although that may have had him arrested/raided for accessing most secret information he lacks clearance for, so leaving upon finding out it was the real thing and not a joke group was the better move.

I would love to know how much is spent trying to catch people trying to game the system, compared to lost compensation because of sick leave.

Past a point, they must surely be spending more hiring this whole team of detectives than they would be just letting the workers take Friday off.
