It only sort of counts (I'm Canadian), but my American wife was delighted that everyone puts up their decorations in mid-November (after Remembrance Day on Nov 11). Our Thanksgiving was back in October.
Fair enough, I didn't know much about it. But it sounds like that was based on a moral imperative impressed on those who weren't on board. But what's happening today isn't a moral suppression, which is why I think it might go differently.
That's why I'm comparing it to tobacco use. The decline in tobacco use isn't based on a moral thing--younger generations are simply not interested. And it looks like it'll only continue to decline for that reason.
It's possible that it bounces back (the alcohol industry marketeers will certainly try), but it's not just a matter of removing an artificial barrier, it would involve convincing people to want it again.
Maybe. I think the difference is that prohibition and the temperance movements were based on top-down authoritative control (at least as I understand it). Folks in charge forbade it, and people found ways to circumvent it--because they still wanted it. The younger generations today simply aren't interested. It's not being outlawed, it's being left behind.
Add current research on top of that (and the messages young people receive based on that), and it might be in a serious decline for good. Or it could go the way of vinyl--a niche interest preserved by a dedicated community, but not mainstream. Or any number of things, who knows?
Thanks for sharing. I haven't followed it as closely, but I understand the latest research suggests that any amount of alcohol isn't really worth it. Similar to tobacco, how it was pretty much a given for one age, my generation grew up hearing about all the negatives.
Factor on top of that young people aren't primarily socializing in drinking spaces anymore. Between COVID shutting that down for a while, and people having less money, there's less reason to go out and get smashed.
I personally still enjoy a drink once in a while, but it's not something I'd terribly mind seeing disappear, especially for how destructive it can be.
Alcohol consumption. It'll likely be viewed similar to how tobacco products are viewed today.
Also, pollution. How everyone was apparently just cool with it, even though we knew better. Dealing with it won't be optional for future generations if they want to survive, and I imagine they'll be cursing our generation for not doing more when it's relatively easier.
This is more nitpicking. Yes, there's a difference between partition and disk. But if we want to get technical, it's not disk encryption unless you're using a HDD. SSDs don't have disks.
At the end of the day, FDE would generally imply that all partitions with user data on them are encrypted. So it would generally include root and home partitions, and generally not include the boot partition, and would likely include partitions like /var and /opt, though not necessarily.
To add to the other comments: it's "full-disk" to distinguish it from "per-file" encryption. And "full-partition" didn't catch on, probably because functionally an unencrypted boot partition makes little practical difference.
I work in an industry where LLMs aren't helpful. And I've already automated away most of what they might have helped with.
Personally I don't like using LLMs for anything. Hell, I barely tolerate tools like lint. Gimme Notepad++ for my actual development work and I'm happy.
