A nest with a chick brings rare hope for hooded vultures in South Africa
In rare good news for vultures in Africa, conservationists have confirmed the first-ever nest of a hooded vulture containing a chick in KwaZulu-Natal, a province in southeast South Africa. That marks the southernmost recorded nesting site of the critically endangered vulture species, according to KwaZulu-Natal-based nonprofit Wildlife ACT. “It gives us as conservationists some new […]

To me, encryption and (data) privacy has always seemed both cool and nerdy.
Nowadays, however, I think:
What if/when an extreme party gets the majority in government? Would I want this government to easily gain access to my communications?
Can we please go back to cool & nerdy again? 🥺

Shoddy excuse 1: “Maybe it was technically a work device, provided by and owned by the employer, and she shouldn’t have used it for personal things”
Then both the employer and the tech vendors involved should have made it not only possible but easy by default for her to quarantine her personal use.
The onus for that kind of opsec should not fall to individuals. That’s just ducking accountability, the kind of cognitive outsourcing large players use to dodge the costs of running their own org.
This is basically “we don’t need to install railings on our corporate balconies; employees just need to never fall off.”
