  • Removing the benefits that social media brings will not achieve the government’s objective of improving young people’s lives, and ignores the fact that the harms extend beyond children and young people to marginalized people and groups. The best way to protect children and young people online is by protecting all users with stronger data protection laws and not personalizing feeds based on profiling.

    Yes, 100%. I'm glad to see somebody with clout saying this. It's been bizarre to see the government acknowledge something as harmful and malicious, and then only keep kids away from it instead of trying to stop it from being harmful and malicious.

    No profiling by default sounds pretty good. I'd also throw in "feed algorithms must be public"

  • The "solution" is buy their product.

    Sponsor: Do you build complex software systems? See how [redacted] makes it easier to design, build, and manage software systems that use message queues to achieve loose coupling. Get started for free [link redacted]

    This article is an ad.

  • It's a little lower in the article

  • I worked on software at one point that had at it's core a number of "modes" that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

    In practice this meant there was a single instance of "Mode" for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

    To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

  • Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and "undertaking" isn't a thing, it's completely legal to overtake in any lane.

  • Two of the "questions" are just statements

    Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

    Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

  • Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

    They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I'm sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it's not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

  • If I read that right, the normal way. It's not a special lock, just the normal lock screen. The use case seems to be addressing the idea of your phone being snatched while unlocked, and then attempted brute forcing into apps with sensitive data pin/biometric locks

  • You would be giving up some feed-rate control and retraction. Probably not too bad with certain materials and large scale prints, but I'd be surprised if you could do anything moderately precise with this.
