Thanks for the heads up on the broken link! I fixed it.
As the original poster for the ladybird post, I never expected the conversation to get so far off track from "this open source project receiving funding and thus have a better chance of success"
Yet here we are
That's your opinion on what is and isn't a great analogy.
Hopefully the maintainers of the project will be more considerate in the future.
Yes that metadata can exist but can't that be obscured if AWS isn't connected to directly?
I think some of the technical details of how the ASD intends to ensure data protection/confidentiality/integrity are omitted for national security reasons.
The Autobahn is a very well engineered German highway system. It is well known but was also was constructed during Nazi Germany.
While it was built by evil people, it still is a fantastic highway system that is used today.
Great analogy and perspective.
The piece was definitely slanted.
Was what the devs did great? No. Does the whole project need to be outcast/abandoned due to what language they use? No. There needs to be nuance with these issues. Open source does not owe individuals anything and that is why it is provided without warranty. On the flip side, individuals can choose not to use it.
We should be promoting open source software and not have infighting when open source software doesn't have much mass market appeal to begin with.
Well I would think that if the customer, in this case the Australian Signals Directorate, encrypted all data prior to going to AWS, it would be protected from any data mining that Amazon does.
I am sure that the ASD isn't just posting the information unencrypted on AWS or solely trusting Amazon's encryption where Amazon also has a copy of the key.
I would caution you about socialism being a way to get to communism.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of communist ideology, believed democratic socialism was a sham and true communism could only be achieved through a violent overthrow of the bourgeois.
The complex restructuring you mentioned is why they thought a transition from socialism to communism would not work.

This is for a vote conducted back in October. I wonder what a more recent one looks like and if there has been any change.
It blows my mind that New Horizons flew by years ago and sent so much data that scientists are still discovering new information regarding Pluto.
Fixed it! Thank you.
