How are there so many stupid people here already?

If you’ve got something you’re that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it’s not listening now, it’s only an update away.

Assuming it’s not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.

Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.

If only it were that easy, we’re talking about govt departments here. It’s because they’ve either been brainwashed into it, or the executive profiting from this somehow.

There’s a lot of stupid rules about what you should and shouldn’t use in gov, and some of the barriers to the should list are very expensive. It’s frustrating as hell to know there’s a great tool for a job, but not being able to use it because they haven’t got some accreditation.

e: clarified individual profit, before it read like the department profits.

Enter the bureaucrats

Yeah it’s really not that difficult once you get the basic concepts, then it’s navigating your own maze of rules :p

Things like ausearch, aureport, audit2allow make light work of it.

Oh my mistake, I was saying my take was paranoid.

That answer would be a lot more obvious if the erosion started with the rich.

I’d not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that’s more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there’s a million possibilities. That’s a paranoid perspective.

In reality, I assume if I’m on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn’t. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.

What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective. I’m not a in the writing industry, I’ll do my best.

Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?

The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.

The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray. The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.

There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.

e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place… Need an editor :p

Your ebike is also spying, probably.

If I was a hiring manager and saw a video like this from a prospective employee I would just throw their application straight in the garbage.

You probably wouldn’t be a hiring manager very long with that attitude. I don’t get the appeal either, but I don’t do tiktok so. Just from the linked piece, it sounds like it’s becoming increasingly common.

Quite a leap to posting private company details online. Where are those stored by the way? Office 365? SharePoint? The cloud?..

I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It’s gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it’s gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn’t/wouldn’t consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.

The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I’ve been happier for it.

One of the best things the govt here in aus did in my lifetime, was tighten gun laws and buy back as many guns as they could. While we’re by no means free of gun violence and homicides, we very rarely have incidents like mass/school shootings.

Build house out of glass, no windows necessary.

What a great way too summarize all the garbage I was thinking to spew. This is really it. Freedom and control. Or "whatever I want it to".

Aix? Hp-ux?
