totally. I recently read a book i was supposed to have read in school, and really liked it. I probably would have liked it at that age, but couldnt really sit through it.

Theres something about homework that can make anything insufferable.

I believe its not so much about the quality of the movie. Shitty stuff often manages to catch our attentions. The kind of media we consume shapes the hooks that get our attention. If my habits are different from yours, what hooks my attention might not hook yours, and vice versa.

Exceptions exist. Lets push to make these exceptions more frequent.

Use the first version with personal relationships. Dont let paranoia ruin your social circle.

With politics, assume the worst.

Telegram doesnt even pretend to be end to end encrypted.

Yeah those paper walls cant hold any weight

Have they actually opened up to privatizations? Or is it just talk here and there?

The conflict is rather between different narratives being pushed. What are actual actions that she took cintrary to what she says? Trump and a lot of the media wants to push the narrative that she is cooperating with the us… so we have to look at actual actions rather than misquoted words here and there.

Yeah, it wouldnt be hard for then to add these security features. I dont know whats stopping them.

I found some apps that add this duress pin in droid-ify and f-droid. But i havent tested any yet. One is called Duress, an other is AlternativeUnlockXposed. Both seem to aim at more or less the same. But AlternativeUnlockXposed looks more interesting as it makes the duress pin unlock the screen and it silently runs a preconfigured command to erase something.

I just checked here. Its not present in mine (lineage os 23).

How do i configure a duress pin on android? Is it a native feature or do i need an app? Using lineage os btw

Ideally it should silently delete just some pre-selected things. If we are coerced into giving the pin away, then the phone resetting itself would invite some retaliation. If it just silently deletes the data of a notes app, it would probably go unnoticed.

Oh, I’ll try it, thanks!

Yeah, thats useful too.

When doing science, reproducibility is a test that (in)validates hypothesis. If your software has a bug that creates a pattern in your analysis, we should hope that this bug does not happen in your collegues pc when they try to reproduce the analysis.

Its already invaded by the us curently. What else do you got?

Not quite. The us has strength, yes, but not to that point. Its strength is sufficient for some things, but it cant do everything it wants. The us cant even do whatever it wants internally… Look at venezuela, even after trump stated that venezuelan oil belonged to the us and was stolen by the chavist administrations, what is the us doing right now concretely? The us is buying oil at normal market prices from the chavist administration.

Isnt security mostly achieved by heavy obscurity? A password secures because other people dont know what it is, it is obscured.

It isnt optimized. Its gibberish written just to give some weight to the headline. People do bad jobs at science popularization too.

There are a bunch of things to research on fusion. Maybe they just thought this specific thing was out of reach, but were still trying to do other things.

Like the PvsNP computer science problem. Most computer scientists believe its impossible to make a polynomial algorithm that solves the traveling salesman problem, so most dont even try. But we dont know for certain that its actually impossible.
