AND then the HR sociopaths filter out anyone not neurotypical who wouldn't have any issues doing the job, but is otherwise weird.

I don't think that's relevant unless you state your age and it is well above 30. Until then you are inevitably clueless and usually sought after by the employers because you are full of energy and cheap to rent, chow and spit out

Why must the burden of getting a job that is not shitty always seem to fall on the worker and never the employee or the state? Why don't we have a law that says "if the boss is disrespectful to the worker, they pay the worker the

Corporate world currently sells attestation as a way to create secure token out of everyone's phone to the public sector worldwide. They obviously want it for the walled gardens and to fight ad-blocking, but public sector really wants

I have talked to government officials responsible for my country's digital security policy and they have explicitly told me that they want remote attestation to lock out devices not running big corporate systems and they do not care ab

Once the data are tied to email, IP address, SSN, eID, ID card or even a name, they are personal data. Sure, "owns FIFA 2019" is not sensitive data like "suffers from depression" or "voted Green" would be, bu

SanDisk used FTL (flash translation layer, wear leveling) on their SD cards at least way back in 2013. Single MLC block survived about 500 erases. FAT would kill it immediately otherwise.

I hate the way it's configured, but it gets the job done. It would be nice to be able to tell it to stay away from Download.

Multiuser support is free, face detection is cheap enough embedded camera chips do it, metadata indexing is cheap with any recent DB engine, search is cheap with them as well. The only computationally expensive thing here is face matching.

Lower paid... critical jobs... State. Hahaha. Can't we just ditch capitalism altogether? It can't even pay and provide housing to people who perform critical jobs. Or are we discussing building barracks for slaves?

Not really. It would also have to tax hoarding them to prevent driving rents higher. Which would hurt landlords sitting in the Parliament. All 100% of them.
