So many don’t understand just how wildly inefficient bureaucratic hierarchies are; what happens isn’t the most profitable thing, it’s the whim of whoever managed to claw their way highest up.

Basically, the decisions are the manifestation of the artificial stupidity of brute force.

The second-highest hit gives a clue as to why:

Relevantly to Lemmy’s existence in the first place, it suggests Reddit as a pretty pivotal training data source, which Reddit tries to cash in on while also killing 3rd party apps due to apathy

Holy shit the reason for tee never really clicked until I saw this post. I’d used it in pasted commands, but it had always seemed superfluous.

So it’s basically “some stuff is E2EE, other stuff is not” which, absent knowing which is which, boils down to no E2EE at all.

Nothing happened because he forgot to uncomment the commands im_stuff.jpg

Does Signal back up in plaintext in the cloud? (If so that doesn’t sound like E2E encryption… unless the ‘ends’ are uh… also constituted as the cloud itself which is… defeating the purpose).

Where do the pub/ private keys live, exactly, tbh. (Assuming it is asymmetric encryption that they use?)

Edit: ah, misread. I thought you said that you were not joining it due to it storing plain text in the cloud.

Can, but won’t because there’s insufficient incentive to produce and use it.

The hope was given this research, companies would be swayed by its evidence and logic. The reality is that companies operate off of neither.

Perfect analogy. Gonna start using this

Oh damn I basically commented this before reading it because I thought it’d be an uncommon position. Fuck the artificial stupidity of corporate bureaucratic hierarchies.

Up next: companies continue 5-day workweeks anyway, because they’re not even rational in their mandates. (See also: forces RTO).

I need this but for “behavioral” interviews

Peer-reviewed publication link

It should be illegal for news articles to report on articles without actually posting the publication link

Edit: pertinently, I’m not 100% sure that’s the same publication, as there doesn’t obviously even seem to be a journal with the title Microbiota (their citation)

Excellent instance name

Well, even still, the US government and corporations have by far the upper hand. They control or heavily influence the school curriculums, for starters, in addition to most news media. Essentially, the lion’s share of information that reaches most people throughout most of their lives.

Any social media -based sway from a foreign actor will be comparatively marginal, and will be at very best at an even keel with domestic.

Moreover, how is anyone sitting in America (or a country with American bases) primarily concerned about the Chinese government? We have endless military and culture war/ propaganda barriers erected against them; we’re basically untouchable, unless we plan on physically going to China.

(The answer is related to the propaganda barriers themselves – it’s acceptable / encouraged to criticize China).

Arguably, more effective, due to their subtlety

Even worse are the hydrogen fuel cell ones
