Havatra@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there?7·2 days agoDepends on the conditions, I’d say. If you have an area that has low oxygen and high saline concentration, one could potentially preserve large parts of the carcass. A big challenge though is the substances brought by the carcass itself, like enzymes and bacteria that are not directly exposed to the oxygen-deficient saline-abundant water, which can thrive and remain active for a long period of time. However, if this carcass sinks to incredible depths, where the pressure is really high, temperature is a constant 4 degrees, very low concentration of scavengers or thriving organisms, and potentially sinks a bit into the sediment for a long time, you’ll essentially get

Havatra@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What will be the future of "Social Media Investigations"? Is every country gonna start checking for social media posts before permitting entry?2·3 days agoThey only recently made it mandatory for three visa types, but since introduced in October 2016, it’s always been an optional field when applying for an ESTA.
Edit:
Not that not providing your social media handle will benefit you, of course.
Havatra@lemmy.zipto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Your devices feed AI assistants and harvest personal data even if they’re asleep3·4 days agoDepends on the level of technology you’re willing to go to:
Smart phones today you’re probably all out of luck, whether it’s Google’s Android, Huawei’s HarmonyOS, or Apple’s iOS. Same with any desktop PC.
Dumb phones without internet connectivity, like the Mudita Pure, can get you pretty far, but as you’re making calls and sending texts through your telecall provider, your provider might use that data for training purposes still.For other technological devices, like fitness trackers, TVs, cars, fridges, or any IoT device really, that somehow either connects to internet or syncs to a device with such capability (your phone) in order to phone home, you’re likely out of luck.
Dumb devices, like mechanical timepieces, monitors, and “normal refridgerators” can get you pretty far, but remember that your purchases of these things, along with all the metadata of those purchases, might also be tracked and trained on.
Havatra@lemmy.zipto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profilesEnglish12·8 days agoI have a slight feeling that they will require “proof” of no existing social media profile: Either you give them something, anything, or they will try and search the web for any account that matches your identity.
And of course, if your cooperation is unsatisfactory, they reserve the right to deny you entry.
Havatra@lemmy.zipto Buy European@feddit.uk•Can you drop the American tech giants? By the Danish public broadcasterEnglish18·2 months agoIt’s impressive to see that they save in the money they spend on licenses this quickly! It’s a little bit of work to transfer the current systems and get used to a different system, but it’s very doable it seems (albeit over years of work), as well as economically attractive. I hope this inspires the rest of the country!
I just now realized that the monkeys have this capability (reference StackOverflow), and this does open for some fun experimentation. Have you by any chance used a userscript for such a purpose before?
