In 2006, with 17, I worked on an internal bank system from the 70s mostly written in COBOL during my apprenticeship in Germany. We had the choice to go for java or COBOL at the time, but they begged us to go with COBOL and despite the dusty

You can always adhere to the site guidelines if you want to make some hypothetical case how X or Y technology could be abused.

What statement of mine is he paraphrasing in his comments?

wtf. Since when is being true to the information we have at hand "deliberately downplaying the issue"? The only thing I did was to argue for more nuanced communication. Especially because I know linus and his way of communicating

Your comments are anything but rational and I am not disregarding the fact that alone the existence of two unwiped devices is absolutely repulsive. I am just arguing for a factual discussion and the actual representation of the information

by theCrowing 4y ago
As I said before you are absolutely right it's fucking bad and repulsive but you can still communicate facts without making assumptions especially with a serious topic like this.

It appears that your perspective on the matter at hand diverges from mine, and I suspect that you may have ulterior motives beyond simply discussing the factual information that is relevant to the conversation. Regardless, I hope you have a

It is unethical to attribute words to someone that they did not use, especially when presented as a quote. Misuse of technology can have tragic consequences, and it is important to remain factual in our statements in order to accurately con

That's just evidence that the Bundeswehr did indeed participate in the collection of the data.

Absolutely right but the fact still stands that we have no valid data to paint it as a fact that the data of the entire population is compromised. It's a communication 101 that you never communicate in absolutes if you can't verif

The document says the bundeswehr did participate in the data collection as part of their EUSAF mandate and that it was close to the entire population. It doesn't say anything about how the database was stored. I wouldn't have said

No, we don't it's mostly assertions and I hate it. We don't know about how these two machines were used and were they come from despite ebay. The whole release should have used way less absolute wording because in the end the

I never said that they say that the data is available on a single-ebay purchasable device. You did. I said that the writing insinuates that the data is available at all but there is no certain way of knowing it.

You are as speculative in your comment as the press release its just bad manner. Why not just be truthful and communicate something "We expect that the data of the whole afghan population is compromised but we can't be sure at thi

by theCrowing 4y ago
While I understand the argument being made, the fact that the data was apparently split across two machines with a relatively small number of data points (just over 2000) does suggest that the databases were specifically structured for the

You are right, it is important to approach them with an open mind and to give others the benefit of the doubt. However, if someone begins to engage in gaslighting tactics, it becomes necessary to confront and challenge their behavior in ord

If someone argues in good faith I would probably do it but he is clearly trying to gaslight here. Or do you believe DDG is jeopardizing an essential part of their search business just to fuck with him?
