I don't see anything in the article mention if the enrollment reduction is due to population loss in the area, enrollment in charter or other schools, or a decision to "home school."

Maybe I missed it.

For some reason, really enjoy watching these people get destroyed by the legal process, but I suppose that's because I subscribe to it as our common social contract.

There's also things I don't like, and I understand the desire to rail against the system. But I hope I would do it a little smarter...

You're way behind... /s

What's the word we use for a group of people who follow their chosen leader no matter how ridiculous? I can't remember...

Didn't some people drink a bunch of poison koolaid once?

/s

I can't imagine the pain and bottomless hatred I'd have if my son was killed in a war, but the name thing keeps me from wanting him to travel anywhere that might be a war zone.

Well, anymore than random places in the US already is...

Each server has its own terms. They ban as they see fit.

Yes, if a server allows crap, other servers defed.

Users should find a server whose owner aligns with their values closest.

Also, you can block users, channels, whole servers, bots.

Part of people's motivation for all the YouTube entertainment content is getting paid. People get a slice of the ad revenue. I hate ads, not advocating.

How do people see a federated video service be used? Just for fun/community?

I'm an enterprise guy, so that's the explanation for non home use things.

• VPN for anything not my web or certificate revocation distribution point
• Sophos IPS
• sophos utm for web application firewall
• transparent inline web proxy, sophos is doing https inspection. I have internal CA and all clients trust it. I don't inspect medical or banking, other common sense stuff.
• heavily vlan segmented with firewall between
• my windows clients are managed by active directory with heavy handed GPOs.
• least priv accounts, different accounts for workstation admin, server, domain, network devices
• security Onion IDS
• separate red forest that has admin accounts for my management access and accounts on devices
• trellix antivirus and global reputation based file monitoring
• I've started applying disa STIGs on servers
• site to site VPN with other family member household. They get managed trellix av also.
• my public identity accounts like MS,.Google, etc all need 2fa, token, etc.

I bet this can still get exploited, just would take effort hopefully none does for a home network.

I'm still one shitty windows zero day click away from getting my workstation or browser tokens owned though, I can feel it.

So why do people live there?

All I ever heard is how absurd the cost of living is in Cali, is the weather really that good?

Ha, said Zuck at Facebook a long time ago.

Yeah, I get it. Hard people make good times, good times make soft people, soft people make hard times...I'm there a little.

But...I I also very much agree that poor mental health leads to lots of physical issues. I live In a first world country, survived a war, and have gone from dont be soft to understanding people's issues aren't made up.

You might ask someone who struggles if you want to really understand.

I've seen a bunch of comments expressing interest in the population declining. Since I don't really want the Thanos approach, lowering the birth rate is great.

I propose sterilization for cash, like cash for clunkers. You get a bunch of free money if you decide you want fixed.

Think of the amount of people who'd take that deal. Long term, lower population, less social program spending, hopefully less people's wanting abortions, win win. It goes against the rich people need for more workers, but you can dangle the lower welfare receipts, they'll be all about that. 😋

Sorry, morbid humor among actual socioeconomic conversation.

Would there need to be a mirror involved?

Good point. I chuckled at low effort trolling for a moment.

Before I started reading that article, I was slightly in support of prison labor. Everything I read about incarceration is that it's incredibly expensive.

I thought it would understandable to help offset the costs, not actually make money. I didn't see anything in the article that put over all costs and profits into context. I can't imagine those systems are actually generating more money than the total costs of incarceration, but I have no idea.

Then I got to the parts about safety, inappropriate/illegal? coercion, and abuse. I know there's some worse places to be in prison in the world, but still.

We used to make people do stupid shit like break rocks just for punishment, but I don't see how that rehabilitates. Learning job skills is good, nice to hear a few people were bettered and got jobs, but legislators in those states probably need to be harassed until we get prisoners treated in appropriate ways.

Generically, sure. Seems like some highly complex social issues, religion, and hate might have complicated things...

That is super interesting. Not getting into the politics, Security Now podcast recently discussed two US child protection online related initiatives.

From a technical perspective, I imagine it being difficult to both handle age proof, guardian proofing, and dealing with lack of anonymity. Part of why I posed the question.

Hey, the navy needs to keep their button pushing skills sharp /s

I feel like the two party, two candidates I get to chose be every election is like picking a rapist or murderer. Which one's less evil? I don't know. They're all evil , what now?

I pretty much gave up when Trump became the right candidate....AGAIN

Hahahahahah
