Suddenly? It’s been labeled Chinese spyware since day one.

Same situation here in Germany, where companies are worried about attracting skilled foreign workers while right-wing extremist parties are gaining more and more votes.

So, YOU are the guy conservatives over here in Germany are talking about all the time when they oppose the current legalization of cannabis? /s

But yeah, drugs are bad for kids.

The internet is uncharted land for all of us.

Our previous chancellor in 2013. Still is today it seems.

/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml appears to be run by some strange people. I got banned for pointing out that Russia broke previous treaties with regard to Ukraine since 2014.

Does it have “WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!” in golden letters somewhere?

Not use a hosting provider that charges by the amount of traffic?

This appears to be an extreme edge case but overall there is nothing preventing you from waking up to such a huge bill if your site turns into the most popular page on the internet over night.

Well, here’s the important part:

I have never done data forensic

So yeah, I didn’t know that at the time. Anyway: Which tools are you talking about in particular?

A friend asked me to atempt data recovery on some photos which ‘vanished’ off an USB stick.

Plugged it in, checked for potential hidden trash folders, then called it a day. Firstly I havenever done data forensic and secondly: No backup? No mercy.

I’ve never bothered with them, but aren’t there already? Additional stuff for your personal avatar?

Not sure what you are talking about. I did not edit any of my comments in this thread.

Well, if you want to dive into the history I’d argue “the Arabian nations shot first”.

Still, summing up the last ~80 years of Israeli history doesn’t amount to a genocide comparable to the Nazis. Again: Israel did commit atrocities, but not on the same level as the Third Reich.

No, it does not. As I said, I think the current events including the ongoing situation in the westbank and other fits the definition of a genocide. But it is thankfully still not the industrial-sized killing complex that was the Holocaust.

Well, the comparison is quite bad. Unlike the Jewish people, Hamas did shoot first. However, Israels actions firmly cross into Genocide territory. So Genocide yes, Nazi Genocide no.

Germany checking in: The chancellors wife at the time having ties to the copper industry doesn’t help either.

I strongly disagree. That’s like using MD5 and saying ‘It’s OK, we use SHA256 down the line’. Information encrypted with it might as well be in plain text.

Forget about biometrics, they are way too insecure.

Our cameras have reached a stage where we can replicate fingerprints from photos. ‘What you are’ is useless when we leave part of us everywhere. And furthermore, in parts of the world, authorities can force you to unlock your device with biometrics but not with passwords.

But then again look at how many fossiles there still are. And those are all biologically, easily degraded.

You got that one the wrong way around. These fossiles are still here because of the special environmental circumstances in which they formed. Most biological matter decomposes without a trace.

Like suddenly there is plastic in the sediment layers …

If we were to go extinct today, these layers would be incredible thin. 12 k years of human history is a blink of an eye in terms of geological timeframes and for most of that we didn’t produce long lasting materials.

If we are talking millions of years it will become more and more unlikely that there will be anything left to find. In those timespans new geological formations happen.

Look at fossils as example. Yes, we have quite a lot of them but they stretch over a couple hundred million years, so imagen the things we don’t know about these periods. Now consider that modern humanity has been around for about 12 k years and the chances of researchers finding remains of our infrastructure in many million years by chance become tiny, just like the layers of sediment containing our remains.

What’s imho a lot more plausible is, that future researchers might find traces of our lasting impact on the atmosphere aka climate change in Arctic ice and wonder what caused it, prompting them to dig around in geological formations from our period which then might lead to some discovery.

No backup? No mercy!
