Putting less restriction on social workers seems like a step in the right direction.

The Welsh government isn’t the only one in Europe focusing on tweaking rules and on reorganisations, rather than putting resources where most needed.

Let’s hope there’s more to come to make housing more afforable, eg better regulation of airbnb-style rentals, use tax/insevtives to make housing less attractive to speculators but more accessible to residents.

Public money for social housing can help too, but by itself it won’t fix the disfunctional housing market.

You’re talking of an attacker with physical access. This can indeed defeats secure boot, but physical access defeat most computer security. In an evil maid scenario even LUKS can be defeated. An attacker with physical access can clone the drive, install a keylogger (hardware or software) and capture the passphrase the next time the machine boots.

Secure Boot can be useful to prevent malware from inserting themselves into the boot process, preventing them from elevating privilege or gaining persistence https://www.xda-developers.com/secure-boot/

Secure Boot isn’t perfect but it’s widely available and is an useful extra layer of protection, on top of disk encryption (eg LUKS).

Would Linux have the same issue if secure boot is enabled and the certificate expire?

Secure boot is a useful security measure. But users should have the ability to install and update certs. If hardware (vendors) don’t allow this, it’s going to cause trouble for both Windows and Linux users.

Sea slugs also are the result of ~14 billion years of cosmic evolution.

That population figures surprises me. But Wolfram Alpha says it’s roughly correct, ie 44% https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=population+of+USA+vs+population+of+G7+countries

on Jan. 21 the EU began banning fuel made from Russia crude

Better late than never.

Separating data structure from implementation has benefits.

In languages with classic OOP classes and objects, it’s often necessary to write wrappers or adapters to allow new operations on existing objects. This adds overhead and require more code.

More banks and businesses should support Taler.

If Visa/Mastercard get replaced by another company’s centralized payment system, what prevent a large foreign corp from buying it, like they regularily do? Then we’re back to square one.

Bad ideas all the way down

We don’t need another centralized messaging service in the EU. We need a secure and decentralized one. Such protocol already exist such as XMPP, Matrix, Briar, Ricocher, RCS, …

Yes, this is fucked.

I doubt a sane society would aim to replace as many jobs as possible with automation, or necessarily be happy with it. Making this a goal mean trying to remove humans and unions out of the equations.

A sane society may seek to decrease workplace injuries and be more efficient, ie wasting less resources while producing stuff. That could involve better workplace conditions, better product design, and maybe automation. Automation may incidentally replace some tasks, even though it’s not the end goal.

The headline and/or article is confusing. It says “machine learning library for the Linux kernel” but goes on to say it’s going to do ML in userspace.

It sounds like it’s going to be a process that lives outside the kernel and tunes the kernel via some interface. In which case there would be no need for any ML-specific bit in the kernel. Rather a generic interface to collect stats, tune thing. Processes would use those however they want, using ML or astrology or classic algorithms for their internal logic.

D’après le sous titre, ils annoncent qu’ils vont bientôt lancer des démarches pour trouver un nouvel hébergeur.

Autrement dit c’est une déclaration d’intention, il faudra être patient avant qu’un choix soit fait et encore plus pour que la migration ait lieu.

Picture a cat standing by the door 5 minutes after leaving the house.

Yes. One step at a time.

Write tests.

It’s outdated information rather than false information. It was true at the time the article was written.

It deserve to be updated with a notice, maybe not taken down.
