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.

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.

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.

Bitwarden for sure! It is certainly the easiest way to increase security on all your accounts by making extremely secure passwords. Plus you can self host it if you want!

Is that a Firefox issue or Google making proprietary standards that only work with chromium based browsers?

I think Google is trying to be anti competitive. I have noticed similar issues when using Firefox with Google Docs.

Take a look at what a former Mozilla exec had to say on the issue: https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has-sabotaged-firefox-for-years/

You implied that if we kept New Horizons going, that we would get more Pluto pics. I would love for that to happen however it is physically impossible for New Horizons to turn around to see Pluto. It simply doesn’t have enough fuel to negate its over 10,000 mph (16,000 kph for you metric folks) speed relative to the sun and then accelerate to that same speed in the opposite direction.

The only place New Horizons is ever going is beyond our solar system which has tons of cool science involved by studying solar winds near the heliopause but unfortunately no cool pictures. Also, I am not a scientist but I am not sure what data gained from solar winds study would be new compared to what was already provided by Voyager 1 and 2.

If shutting down New Horizons means costs savings that allow a new probe to be sent to orbit either Uranus or Neptune, which haven’t been visited in decades, I am all for shutting down New Horizons.

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.
