To be fair, a duress pin is definitely a good thing to have if you're being mugged, but using it to deliberately destroy data when it's been seized by a lawful authority is guaranteed to land you in serious trouble pretty much anywhere. Whether the border agents were, in fact, a lawful authority, and whether they had a lawful reason to seize his phone are very different questions.

The much more sensible approach is to either have a separate phobe for travelling, that has nothing you care about on it, or wipe your phone before you travel, and spend a little time building up an innocuous history on it, without putting anything you care about on it. Anything you absolutely must have access to while you're away can be stored, encrypted, online, and you can remember the details to retrieve it.

While that has to be tough to take for those impacted, I do appreciate that the CEO takes personal responsibility for the decision to fire people, and the severance package seems like it gives people a little breathing room. Keeping them on payroll until after their shares vest is a lot better than many companies would do.

I'm curious about what the big changes in their market over the last six months are though. People are still creating, and he talks about how much they're routing to creators, so I assume it must be a new competitor starting to muscle in on their market.

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

Whilst for some it might just be the inertia of "I increase the rent every year", for many it will be a careful calculation, assuming that staying in the same place has an increasing value to you over time. It also helps with the overall dropping rents "problem" by helping to increase the average, and encourage other landlords to do the same.

If it doesn't sound like a jet plane taking off, is it really a server at all?

You can get screw removing bits, which are basically that.

Yes, that will still leak as the value of the variable will be substituted into the command line before it's executed, so it'll show up in the process table. Using the <(echo ...) redirection is replaced by a file descriptor that connects to an anonymous pipe.

Once this rolls out, the apps stop working. Google have said there'll be a process you can go through to allow other apps on your phone, but it doesn't seem to be available yet. Presumably you'll need to go through this if you want to use f-droid after the change too.

I pity you if your university experience was genuinely that poor. A good university encourages deeper thought than that, and surrounds you with people with a similar interest in your subject, and more people who are passionate about other subjects. A sane country then ensures you don't end up in crippling debt to attend by covering part or all of the cost, and ensuring any debtvus handled fairly.

I am clearly no diggity-ologist as I had not even considered the temperature of the diggity. I shall continue my studies in the hope that I too can become wise in the ways of Diggity.

Thank you for your wise words regarding the correct amount of diggity. I shall endeavour to always have the correct amount of diggity in future.

Wait, wait, I'm still confused. Is diggity a good thing or not? Should I be aiming for an overwelming surplus of it, and if I should, is it really surplus, or should I be trying to expunge it from my life entirely?
