Why wouldn’t you be concerned about VM or container escapes?
It would probably be a better use of time for those people to vote and lobby their legislatures for decent privacy protections in law.
Yet another example of why US citizens would benefit from GDPR-equivalent privacy laws.
“The iOS 26.6.1 update fixes three flaws in the iPhone Kernel and nearly 20 in WebKit.”
As a Keynesian, I’m in favour of gas pump attendants, while gas stations exist.
As an environmentalist, I’m in favour of phasing out fossil fuel.
As a human, I’m opposed to companies that engage in union-busting, labour casualisation, and surge pricing. AFAICT, all the robotaxi companies engage in those practices.
So-called “ride-share” companies scam people on a bigger scale than individual cabbies ever could. Uber had a whole team devoted to avoiding legal scrutiny.
Robotaxi companies will most likely be just as shady, since they’re backed by the same investors.
As for NJ gas, that’s a false equivalence. A better analogy would be that NJ gas stations are like having a chauffeur, everywhere else is like doing your own driving.
What a pointless reply.
I debunked your concerns. Hopefully, that reassures you schools can function just as well, if not better, without smartphones or even cell phones.
gonna be a shitshow
Pure doomerism.
The schools where I grew up had one landline for over a thousand kids. The sole school secretary answered it as well as handling other duties. It had a call-waiting system. If there was an issue that might prompt lots of parents to call in, they’d just update the OGM: “If you’re calling about the such-and-such, here’s the latest information. Blah blah. Otherwise, please hold to speak to someone.” It was always fine.
As for checking-in to class, no need to use smartphones: teachers can take the register (roll-call) at the start of each class.
Landlines worked fine for a century or so. Any specific reason you think they wouldn’t work today?
Or the other issues listed at the site posted by the OP: https://nosystemd.org/
How does resale value “support Google”?
If you want GrapheneOS without funding Google, why not get a secondhand Pixel?
Thanks, I’ll try that.
The issue has happening on an increasing number of websites, though: Ecosia, ScienceDirect, TrainSplit (which thankfully has a fallback to hCaptcha), Indeed, and more.
Thanks. What’s your source for that list? I think you’re right that those measurements are factors in the final “bot score”, but I expect there are many other measurements also factored in.
If you look at my OP, though, you’ll see my browser passed the checks but was still blocked, which Cloudflare said shouldn’t happen.
It pops up on which page?
I can’t see it on either of the pages mentioned in my OP:
People should be concerned. Robots like these may be deployed against Taiwan in the next few years.
