Sounds like an amazing experience! Would love to do some soul seeking in Japan.

The protection cited in the article is for buildings. Alright? No one is becoming a militarized surveillance state over buildings being protected by the military.

This is a prime minister wanting to look strong in tough times, not a country becoming a surveillance state.

Avalon works fine for me, and was updated just a couple of days ago. Voyager works good as well, though not as frequently updated lately.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Lovely that it’s the most upvoted one.

Fantastic news. Really appreciate the openness these last weeks.

I personally had 4 active accounts in August, until I settled on one instance I like. Very likely many others did the same, so these numbers are far from perfect.

Meh, this military stuff is such an exaggeration. It’s mainly about politicians wanting to look like they are strong and doing stuff.

The military are by law allowed to carry out some tasks the police force can. The main example that has been brought up, is to guard buildings of importance. They also have other skills when it comes to technology, and could help the police with knowledge there. That’s the gist of it.

Would not call that copy anyone’s mistakes at all to be honest.

The show Mr. Robot did that, they used real 0-day exploits for their hacking scenes!

Well there is, if you wish for apps created by others than large corporations with hundreds or thousands of developers. It will get better with time now when progress is slower.

But phones 10 years ago were absolutely trash compared to those we have today.

I felt like I had a huge need for alone time with my ex. In reality it was me who had fallen out of love.

With that said it’s obviously important being able to take time to be alone. But do not forget that shared time is equally important.

So much this.

People want more “real world usage” in college and school overall. Teach kids how to do taxes, teach engineers how to use X and Y software.

Well, in 10 years there’s a new software that does your taxes in another way, and plenty of laws have changed and there are new stuff to consider. And those software the engineers were taught, they are obsolete.

That’s why focus should be on getting people to a place where they themselves can acquire the skills needed to do those things by themselves.

Hadn’t I been on Lemmy I wouldn’t have known there are people still using cables to transfer stuff from/to their phone.

Haven’t done that in 10 years, and deeply hope I’ll never have to start doing that again either.
