Did conservative politicians decide that almost all young males needed to be put on Ritalin? Or that teh solution to self esteem issues was teaching children they needed to be rewarded for getting their shoes on the right feet? or that Or that male teachers needed phased out because all men are sexual predators? Or that schools can assist in transitioning children to a different "gender," and that the child's parents have no right to be told? Yeah, that was all conservatives causing all problems.

Your hatred of anything other than the far left wing is showing.

And before you take the standard accusing me of being in support of all things conservative, I do believe that conservatives played a part in school problems. There is blame to go around. Funding problems, Issues with banning books. You on the other hand, are not capable of seeing anything beyond a narrative fed to you by people who are on a faction of the left that cannot take accountability. And in fine fettle, you don't either.

I don't know if Aegis if available for iPhone. It lets to backup and export to the destination of your choice, so you can use your own cloud or just do it offline.

Yeah, you're not understanding what I'm saying: Azure doesn't just host Linux VMs, significant parts of the infrastructure are built on Linux. Microsoft has just as much (if not more) to lose from a resurgent SCO lawsuit than anyone, they aren't going to be the ones rocking this boat.

Yes, but not just parents. Schools, media, pop culture. All had a part. And the public schools had an outsized effect.

I managed to keep my son away from the worst of it. Kept him off the drugs the schools wanted him on, taught him that self esteem comes from accomplishment, not because the teacher told him he was the center of the universe, and he had great potential. He's doing okay. His Ritalin drugged up friends? Not quite as well.

And the worst thing we taught the kids is in your answer. It's always someone else's fault.

The flaw in the assumption that suddenly people won't know anything is that entry level changes, technology develops. People will be hired who will develop as the technology changes. This is a process that has gone on for a long, long time.

This, the slashdot resident doomers appear to believe that somehow, someway, the ultra wealthy will somehow remain ultra wealthy after they are the only people left with any money. And where does their money come from? Mebbee they didn't pay attention in economics and math classes?

Things change. Technology changes. At each stage there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth, "Our Jerbs!" we hear, soon no one will be working because AI took their jerbs. Yet if people don't give Bezos money, Bezos doesn't have money.

I came into the work world during the latter part of the transistor revolution, and the start of Integrated circuitry ascendency. I programmed on IBM 360s with punch cards. I went from tape VTR editing, and Frame Buffer 3d animation frame by frame to non-linear editing, then computer only video. Went from chemical based photography to implementing a digital photography process.

Each bit of progress was vehemently opposed, one woman even lost her job, after trying to sabotage digital work.

And the strange thing, while people demanded stasis, I looked at the new technology as an improvement. Then again, I altered and kept my job while some people lost theirs.

AI is in it's infancy, some things aren't sustainable, like the concept of energy gobbling dat centers, but my money is on a process similar to computers going from things like colossus and Eniac to things like the 360's to personal computers to that little smartphone so many people are addicted to.

References I could find say they want to build a 10GW solar panel factory, which if accurate wouldn't even make the top 10 world wide. Most of the larger ones are in China, but the Canadian Solar one is also larger than that.

Couldn't find data for the PCB factory, but I'd be very surprised if it was anything like the scale of the Chinese ones.

Speaking of, they are launching from barges off-shore, due to geography. Has the additional benefit of not destroying the launch complex when the rocket explodes.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and yet somehow California is still by far the richest state.

Your browser leaks uniqueness out of every orifice and every single one of those things has a legit use case. And in aggregate they supply enough bits to be unique to your computer.

It's not about browsers being "complicit" and all about browsers trying to deliver a modern experience which is capable of supporting things like accessibility, audio, video, camera, microphone, serial, graphics and every thing else.

I think there are settings and switches that browsers could do to mitigate some of this risk, but there is no easy solution to it either.

If some shitty McDonalds app is broken then that's a minor inconvenience. But if your bank / payments don't work, or you can't board a plane because of the app's protection then that's a serious problem. And while people might moan than apps use attestation, they have their reasons which are obvious in most cases.

We could argue that Google should provide attestation for "curated" forks and I'd be favourable to the idea. But until it happens, GrapheneOS is not something normal people should use. It breaks apps. The only people it's suitable for are people who are either hyper-paranoid, or genuinely have something to hide.

They're not "banning" Graphene, they're using a convenient device / app attestation as a security mitigation and Graphene happens to break it.

Macdonalds banned Graphene OS? Okay Ronald.

Aegis is a better alternative to Authy. Open source.

Don't forget that legally prescribed drugs kill a lot of people.

I've been conducting a bit of a study myself. Of course, it's not a big study. But in my peer group, of the men in their early 70's, most are on statins and other maintenance drugs like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and beta-blockers All of them look. pretty old and wrinkled, all are impotent. Note, this has been learned in conversations where they express "those days are long gone" referring to romantic interludes.

Wife has been damaged by maintenance drugs. But she still takes them religiously.

On the other hand, I take no maintenance drugs at all. I only doctor for acute things, like when I managed to get Lyme a few years back.

I'm surely not perfect. I have a lot of old Ice Hockey injuries that are presenting with arthritis. Aconite patches knock that down. But I'm still quite capable, if you catch my drift. People are drugging the bejeezus out of themselves, and just creating new problems. And don't get me started on how actual antipsychotics are being mainstreamed for women. (things like Rexulti, Abilify, Vraylar, Latuda) These numb her mind no doubt, but they also present with side effects like Tardive diskenesia, which can be permanent and sometimes quite disturbing, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, "unusual urges" and remarkably - suicide.

Don't worry though, there are dugs for the jerky movements. Oddly enough, they can also cause tardive dyskinesia. Am I a one-off? Could be. Could be my peer group somehow preselects for old unhealthy dudes. But I learned long ago to trust doctors and Pharma like I trust any other drug pushers.

And somewhere between nuts like Robert Kennedy, and the people on a gazillion maintenance drugs, there needs to be a middle ground.

Anything that uses the device integrity / attestation services of Play won't work - banking apps, digital keys, government apps, crypto wallets, transit / ticketing apps etc.

Fortunately the US isn't the only one taking measurements, and with satellites other countries have data for the US.
