Tangentially has anyone else noticed chrome extensions management page now saying unlock origin will soon be disables and to please find a replacement?
seems pretty official to me, its the discord the main site directs everyone to and godot made this person the moderator of. and then that person has access to block people from the official x account?
My understanding is this was the official Discord for years until they distanced themselves from it last year. However, I don’t think there’s an official one, or at least not one that anybody uses.
The community manager blocking everyone on GitHub and X for quoting their founder’s words about not lumping people into groups or staying out of politik is not the same person as the Discord mod “xananax” who was dropping slurs in 2016.
I wonder if there is any research into using reflections in water as an image source for photogrammetry. Presumably they would show the underside of the bridges
I know someone who was a post-doc researcher in climate policy. a seeming sorely needed are of expertise. But a large enough group of the population just wanted to cry, the government is too big, and we don't want to waste money on policy analysts so there has been no opportunity to actually do anything.
Yup the cuts across the public sector are far-reaching. I work in research and we're finding it a lot harder to get govt grants (from GNS specifically, but I hear it's the same in other fields of research)
No! Take those devices to electronics recycling. They DO NOT go into your municipal trash. Lithium-ion batteries can start fires inside your garbage truck, forcing the truck to dump its flaming contents onto the street. Electronics contain hazardous materials. And electronics contain valuable materials worth recycling. Where I live, it is illegal to put electronics in your municipal trash.
Throwing away is a real hassle. You often buy a new phone because the old one is broken. So data is on there but you cant turn it on. Get a drill out? Not sure I want to breath in that dust.
Just put a soldering iron over the epoxy on the ssd chips, get it really hot to ensure the sillicon gets heated to at least 100C and your data will be gone forever in a completely non-functional chip.
Buy an iPhone and don’t worry about recycling it because storage encryption means it doesn’t matter. You can never plan for when you might lose a device.
At least on the 4g days there was such a thing as a lost and stolen device database that was shared between providers. When the phone presents its IMEI to the network the process that checkes it’s subscriber status also checks if it’s IMEI is on that block list.
For me this whole things, including the previous use of AI backed social graph modelling build from digital surveillance of Palestinians, being use for as targeting intelligence, for drone strikes on people homes and families.. this whole thing chills me to the bone about ever wanting to use a social network, or a always connected mobile device ever again. Israel has taken the Dark Mirror SF speculations about the shifts in power and capability as the instruction manual and we're mostly ignoring the warnings. There nothing stopping this happening to any of us.
