I would speculate that careers that require Master's degrees tend to be more saturated, and the result of that is qualification creep. Examples of this include teaching, social work, library sciences, etc.
It could also be that masters degrees concentrate in fields with lower compensation. Teachers are in high demand, but yet they still tend to have something beyond an undergrad.
In what sense? Germany has among the strongest judicial oversight for invasion of privacy in Europe. Due process is followed when securing search warrants that provide access to subscriber data (Germany does not have administrative subpoenas like in the US and other countries).
Former attempts at surveillance have been struck down in the Bundesverfassungsgericht, and the right to privacy has even been affirmed for foreigners (as opposed to other countries like the US that reserve that foreign nationals have zero due process rights for invasion of privacy).
Germany is an absolutely terrible choice for this. Other Email providers such as Tuta which also offer encrypted emails, were forced to install a backdoor. As soon as the police arrive, every future email sent to the account in question is copied unencrypted without the person being informed.
This is much worse than passing on payment details or stored backup email addresses, as Proton Mail is required to do in Switzerland.
> Other Email providers such as Tuta which also offer encrypted emails, were forced to install a backdoor. As soon as the police arrive, every future email sent to the account in question is copied unencrypted without the person being informed.
Important caveat: Tuta was required by a court to provide police with access to a customer's _unencrypted_ emails (ie regular SMTP mail). The police had also asked for a backdoor to Tuta's E2E emails, and that request was rejected by the courts.
But the idea behind Tuta and Proton is that emails are encrypted when they arrive in the inbox. The fact that emails sent between Tuta users are still safe offer little added value because distribution is far too limited. The reason people choose such a provider is that they do not want the authorities to have access to their mailbox, but this is undermined by a backdoor. Switzerland is much better off in terms of the legal situation in this area.
In the sense that it's a joke that caves in to the flimsiest pressure from a certain superpower. Although pressure is a bad choice, it's more like it's a wholy owned subsidy.
I installed Whisper+ through FDroid and it works well for my basic needs. Only 30s at a time but you can append multiple recordings to the same transcript: https://github.com/woheller69/whisperIMEplus
I have been using VoiceFlow. It works incredibly well and uses Groq to transcribe using the Whisper V3 Turbo model. You can also use it in an offline scenario with an on-device model, but I am mostly connected to the internet whenever I am transcribing.
Not wrong, but at the same time, some people use Android and also remove Google from the equation, so finding an alternative for Gboard is valuable to them. I'm one of them and I really like Futo.
This actually scratches an itch I've had on and off over the years. Over a decade ago, I remember reading a Quora post along the lines of 'How does ISIS still have internet? Who maintains the infrastructure?', and the only response was from an alleged ISIS propagandist (or an internet troll) with vagueries about the reach of ISIS, and that they couldn't answer for "security reasons".
That question lived in my head on and off throughout college, and I'm glad to have gotten a bit closer to understanding the reality of what was happening on the ground.
Its very difficult to cut a large organisation with guns off from the internet.
Have you seen the various reports about Mexican gangs? Apparently they can just install whatever they like on anyones towers, and people who complain about it tend to come down with severe lead poisoning. Was reading one blog, and the tech suggested that if he saw someone else working on a tower, he would just drive away and call in sick that day.
Political campaign staff often keep hours way past what a volunteer with a 9-5 job has. It's a terrible life, terrible profession but it still draws in people that are willing to find meaning in being a workaholic and seen as "politically savvy".
