The NRA has remained silent when white guys got shot as well. It’s not a race thing its a bootlicking thing. That’s why this mild rebuke is a big deal, they don’t normally say a damn thing when LE shoots someone regardless of the victims race or ethnicity.

It may seem that way but I’m really not. An encryption key is just data. It’s critical security data to be sure but it’s still data and like other data you shouldn’t share anything that you wouldn’t want made public.

Don’t want MS to cough up your data when asked? Then don’t give it to them. In regards to your BL key that means storing it another way, such as on a jump drive or printing it out.

In the end if you have data of any type that you absolutely DO NOT want made public then you need to retain that data locally. If that means leaving the Microsoft or any other ecosystem then that’s the price that needs paid for keeping your data under your control.

This is the foundation of the entire privacy movement.

The encryption key is data, don’t give it to ANYONE. “Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.”

The word “Gave” is really doing some heavy lifting in that title. Microsoft produced the keys in response to a warrant as required by law.

If you don’t want a company, any company, to produce your data when given a warrant then you can’t give the company that data. At all. Ever.

Not fast food joints, not Uber, not YouTube, not even the grocery store.

It’s easy to do. Mine is a reolink piped through Home Assistant.

I hear ya but honestly you wouldn’t have the service let alone the devices without it.

Too many people thought that Twitters Blue Checkmark meant you were special. That attitude carries over to Bluesky and being verified.

Classic Liberal, yes.

I’m so old that when I started there wasn’t any choice. It was command line or go outside!

You are not an IT Admin, you are not spending tens of millions annually, and thus Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about you. They literally would not piss on you if you were on fire.

I dunno, at least some of planned datacenters ARE doing that. For example an absolutely ENORMOUS Solar Farm is being built in Cheyenne, Wyoming for another Microsoft DC. For a previous MS DC a big ass wind farm was built. Meta is building a fuck you sized DC in Cheyenne and recently inked a deal with Terrapower for a natrium powered reactor.

I dislike having to defend these assholes but what the Green Energy thing has been done, is being done, and they have definite plans to do more of it.

I googled a map of US literacy by county. Interesting view.

just so we can give everything a public address

Giving everything a public address was the original intent! NAT didn’t even exist prior to '94 and it was (and is) a massive kludge.

I’m cautiously optimistic. This looks like a reasonable use of tech that doesn’t seem to have so many of the spyware elements that other glasses (like Meta) have. There’s no external camera, no screens (only lenses), and no mention needing an app or internet connection.

As someone in their target demographic I’m interested to find out what is actually released and would consider purchasing a pair.

Motors used to be BOLTED together, now they are GLUED together.

50 years ago you were working on brushed motors with relatively sloppy tolerances, less torque, and more electrical consumption. Today’s brushless motors are faster, stronger, lighter, more efficient, and designed to higher tolerances.

It used to take me a half hour to change the clutch slave cylinder on my truck. Now (newer truck) I have to PULL the transmission to do that.

Very few vehicles in the U.S. have a manual transmission and the prevalence of them is decreasing quickly in all western countries. No matter how much we may prefer manuals it’s inarguable that modern automatics get better fuel economy, are easier to operate and are often stronger than their manual equivalent.

My point here is that often the same advances that make things better make them more difficult to service.

I actually don’t know. I’ll have to try it.

Just need a way to admin Active Directory from Linux and I’m set…

What’s wrong with Active Directory Web Services? It’s installed on every DC by default since WS2008R2.

You could also install PowerShell on your Penguin box and do tasks via command line.

As an American I too am oversaturated with US politics. It’s been this way for a decade now and I fear its never going to end.

The article states that the police investigated but found nothing.

You should have kept reading.

"Ultimately, the weeks-long investigation at the school in Thibodaux, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southwest of New Orleans, uncovered AI-generated nude images of eight female middle school students and two adults, the district and sheriff’s office said in a joint statement.”

That dedication is how you know they actually use Slackware.
