> Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels today announced a moratorium on student-facing generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) use in schools, alongside a new screen time policy, a decision that will impact nearly 600,000 public school students, or two-thirds of the system’s total enrollment. The policy establishes a one-year moratorium, effective in the 2026-2027 school year, on student-facing generative AI for children in 2-K through 8th grade. It also introduces twice-yearly AI critical thinking modules for high schoolers, limited AI pilots for a small number of high school classrooms and age-appropriate screen time restrictions.

> It feels pretty weird that Lemmy/Piefed users here are simply planning to keep reposting content from Reddit, that I imagine that the actual death of Reddit(which is actually getting very close that it seems that within 90-120 days the whole website is going to turn to shit with zero power users who post original content as a lot of them will be banned) will lead to a content death here, meaning whole communities will get empty here with no new posts for days.
>
> I personally had started noticing how the content on Reddit started dying down(a lot of communities got hit really hard and even Reddit app rank on Google Playstore top apps list got worse), that I began being dependent on websites other than Reddit automatically which lead me to a path where on some days I feel I am the only one posting on some communities here.
>
> I feel like a big reason here is self censorship, which I can understand here(I literally got banned from multiple servers and communities for holding ideas that many people didn't like), but it has a negative effect overall.
>
> I am personally trying to solve this issue on multiple communities, but I cannot recreate the whole place to be better(IMO).
>
> **In conclusion**, I feel like the death of Reddit will lead to the death of the network here due to no new content and I don't know how the platform here will react to it when it actually happens soon in the next 90-120 days days.
>
> Note: The only actual communities where I see some Original/new content from time to time here is the photos communities. The other communities here don't seem to have a constant unique feed as far as I can tell.

There is zero reasons for anyone to listen to to someone who acts, looks or sings great talking about their life or their opinions in politics.

I don't even have any idea why in 2026 we still have interviews with celebrities and actresses.

I even see UN, human rights and general non-profits give actresses honorable positions and make them talk. And I gotta ask, did humanity lost it's common sense or is logic ship sinking?

> During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory.
>
> 1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design.
> 2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data.
>
> So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app.
>
> After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid.
>
> Other issues:
>
> 1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying.
> 2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step.
>
> Seriously von der leyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.
> . Von Der Leyen "The European Age Verification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..."
>
> I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious privacy issue.
>
> The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well.
>
> But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly.
>
> For NFC biometric data:
> It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.
>
> For selfie pictures:
> Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.
>
> This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary.
>
> From a GDPR standpoint:
> Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach.
