So is this what Mozilla meant when they announced a privacy push back in February

How's it compare to greenshot?

In short, yes, i support those other things.

... but back to the geo engineering are you saying that we aren't on the brink yet? Are you saying its not that bad?

[–] Renegade@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That I don't understand why we're not doing more of those two things. Geo engineering seams to have strong opposition even within climate activist circles, and nuclear power use is on the decline.

Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

That sound really bad. So then I have a couple questions.

  • do you support new nuclear power? How about if the plant will be built near where you live?
  • do you support Geo-engineering testing?

... if no then how could the consequences of that be worse then mass death and starvation?

California has pushed out badly worded laws in the past. Here's a definition from the bill.

“Artificial intelligence model” means an engineered or machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments and that may operate with varying levels of autonomy.

Tell me that wouldn't also apply to a microwave oven.

After several years of using Linux for work and school, I made the leap to daily driving linux on my personal computer. I stuck with it for two years. Hundreds of hours I sunk into an endless stream of inane troubleshooting. Linux preys on my desire to fix stuff and my insane belief that just one more change, suggested by just one more obscure forum post will fix the issue.

... the lack of an increment operation, no “continue” instruction, and array indices starting from 1 instead of 0. These differences can be jarring

Understatement

It depends. It will not affect many of them until 2025 when enterprise support for v2 ends and by then other arrangements and fixes might be. Brave in particular I would not worry yet.

Something I often see missing from discussion on privacy is that it's not always about you, the listener. Sometimes it's about protecting the most vulnerable people around you. For example, someone escaping from domestic violence might have a different view on how their information is protected. People struggle to see the value in privacy because it's not been a big problem for them personally or because they think it's hopeless. An introduction to privacy in my view is all about teaching empathy, hope, and advocating for others.

Once they have that goal in mind, you can tie in how open source helps empower people to take back their privacy

I wonder how good this model would be at an obfuscated code challenge.
