Another day, more privacy washing from Google.
Google Play Store is labeling apps as "Teacher approved", which is meant to be read as "kid-safe", but advocacy groups have filed an FTC complaint for deceptive labeling, as some of these apps violate COPPA.

Thank you @switchedtolinux for reading a couple of my comments on the stream, last night. I'll be sure to return when I can. It's fun.
This week's articles of interest are now available at @Ragnar_AnKorage .
Last night, I gave cloning my #LinuxMint USB stick another stab at cloning. I used this command in terminal:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress && sync
Ran the command and it finished within 30 minutes from a 500 gig stick to 500 gig ssd.
Rebooted, this morning via the ssd using a USB connection and it works like a charm!
@switchedtolinux may be proud of this success. (If I remember, I might get on Discord, tonight.)
Upcoming project just got in line!

Delighted to announce @EFF will be switching to the DuckDuckGo Smarter Encryption dataset in their HTTPS Everywhere extension!
If you're a user, the update will happen automatically giving you broader protection. You can also get it in our app/extension.

Smarter Encryption detects unencrypted (insecure HTTP) connections to websites & automatically upgrades them to secure connections (HTTPS) when possible. HTTPS protects personal data like search terms and anything you view & type from network snoopers.

We generate the Smarter Encryption dataset by continuously crawling and re-crawling websites, ensuring it's up-to-date while protecting you in the background.
Privacy, simplified.

#newhampshire plans to end it's mask mandate on Friday. Since the decision may be, partly, based on current status and numbers it may be a good thing.

With the failure of cloning the encrypted USB stick with a #LinuxMint build on it, I'll just have to box the #windows drive, stick in the new #ssd and install a fresh instance of Linux Mint... Encrypted, of course.

Nope. Not happening. No copying of special files. So that kills that idea.
Long long way it must be.
A day and a half later, dd was still locked up. It's been long enough. I'll have to do this the long way and copy my home folder over.
A day and a half, later... SSD activity light is still on solid. I'll give it until tonight. At that point, not having it running will be unreasonable.
