These emotionally damaged young men need to snap the fuck out of it and realize who is really hurting them and who really killed the American dream.

That’s like telling a depressed person to just be happy…

“Pieces of shit like Charlie Kirk come along and” address these people’s issues for better or for worse, while “some dumbass underpaid woke college professor” isn’t (socially) allowed to do so or doesn’t want to

I just briefly went through what’s in the update. It’s mostly visuals and some minor integrations? Or am I missing something?

I think you’re on point with the malicious compliance. Google doesn’t want to give up power and control. Requiring all installations to run through them seems to be their workaround.

He rightfully points out in the video that even if the data isn’t sold, it could still be leaked and then proceeds to show how insecure the camera systems are. This kind of surveillance infrastructure just shouldn’t exist to begin with.

Check out the Collabra Office android app. It probably covers your needs.

What you describe might be true for Canada, but it doesn’t apply to all universities. Many universities have two primary tasks: research and education. These are two separate tasks with overlap.

I do find it understandable if publicly funded universities place restrictions on how many students they accept per program as it’s their duty to give back go society.

Ugh, this shit again…

Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

Thanks for pointing that out. Bad data visualisation strikes again…

Thanks for the very practical resources!

Thanks for your reply. I agree the ‘why’ is important, for me that usually makes things more intuitive

Could you recommend a source for learning how to use the command line? In the past I struggled with understanding the basic commands and the various flags. I’ve found it difficult to find good documentation, but I would like to learn

It doesn’t have to be email. Denmark has such a system, called e-boks. It’s essentially your digital mailbox where you can receive most letters from government agencies and banks (no more paper!). Other institutions and companies can use it too (not sure about who can and can’t use, maybe you can send ‘letters’ from one individual to another too?). I think it’s also possible to respond in some cases.

That’s more or less my point. They won’t come out ahead but at least they won’t have to raise the prices as much so they’ll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don’t include electronics

I’m not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead… Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it’s cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs

Ooh, nice to know!

It impacts the form factor a bit, but in most projects that’s easy to work with
