If you buy one used that is how you can get around giving Google money.

From a security standpoint it might give you a temporary benefit since all of Google’s tracking IDs will be associated with the original owner. On a new phone I figure it’s associated with you immediately.

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/

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.

That’s what I thought. I didn’t know if certain food supply chains were more exposed to PFAS than others.

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.

I am curious what foods are low in PFAS.

Do you have a good source?

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.

For my truck, I ended up looking in the owners manual and found a fuse that is for the modem. I removed it and the vehicle functions without issue.

I know it works because when I brought it to the dealership to get serviced they said they couldn’t connect to it via their online service app. They also asked if I had tried to connect to it via the company app on my phone. I just told them I never needed to.

Just to be sure I verified they didn’t reinstall the fuse and they had not.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well he was the first senator, in the history of the US, to vote for impeachment of a sitting President in the same party.

Other than that, I am not well versed on his history enough to make comment.

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!

Really don’t agree with this one. We have a broken system that the leading candidates in each party refuse to debate other contenders. Our “candidates” have been selected for us before the election has even gotten close.

Biden is too old and just a career politician that got to this point not because he was the right choice but because he got the right jobs. He had been vying for the presidency for at least 20 years before he got it. It just became his turn.

Additionally, he is not progressive just a populist. Just ask the railroad works that were told they can’t strike because of a bill signed by Biden.

More information is here on some of the falsehoods of Biden being progressive when it relates to unions: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/02/joe-biden-is-no-friend-of-unions

One thing I think people keep missing is that the entire military still is operating with no detriment. They still have people filling positions and acting with the authorities the position holds.

This inconvenience doesn’t impact day to day operations.

Senators should have this ability to hold things up. If we make the statement they can’t then we open ourselves up for ridicule when the situation is reversed.

Certainly true.

Right now we have a military that serves the interests of the industrial complex and not the other way around.

In WWII it wasn’t that way. The government did not have companies that it would be seduced into paying more than a fair value for military equipment

Well we are also not other countries. We have different culture, socio economic makeup, different population distribution, and different history. Something that works in another country isn’t guaranteed to work here.

I think a key reason why nothing will ever change is because moderates offer “hey we can do mental health checks, bans on ownership for people convicted of violent crimes, and mandatory wait times” to meet in the middle and compromise but both sides don’t want to do that.

Just a symptom of how polarized the nation is. Until we fix that, nothing will ever change.
