County Lines child criminal exploitation.

Trevelyan Middle School's pioneering film about County Lines child criminal exploitation.

I am sharing this to get the message out about county lines and the misery this is causing.

All we need now is a government, who will deal with this properly and robustly.

Generative AI is enabling fake voice scams

Interesting article looking at Generative AI is enabling fake voice scams, identity fraud which is both interesting and pretty scary stuff, people easily fall for scams, especially those who may be more vulnerable or who have friends / family in parts of the world they can't easily be contacted. This would allow scammers to pose as family members, and obtain money by fraudulent means.

This is the sort of thing, we should be discussing so that we can come up with solutions, staying one step of the enemy when the enemy are already several steps ahead of us.

Perhaps talk about this at a future stem group meeting.

Left and Right handed molecules

Some interesting research has taken place and there is now a better explanation of why we have right and left handed molecules.

The article Breakthrough’ could explain why life molecules are left- or right-handed was published on Science.org and shared on the Fediverse.

I have asked a question about this and also how cis & trans molecules are also created. even though this is referred to as stereoisomerism, so a different topic area.

Papers & articles

I would suggest reading in the context of the above article, as they are all linked from that.

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity. These videos are a starting point as it is very useful to understand how to use the GNU/Linux command line along with related tools in general.

Banning boilers

This was posted to the Fediverse earlier, a paper looking at how EU countries are phasing out fossil fuels.

Fantastic news. If I understand the Chemistry and Geology, Fossil fuels were created as a by product of dead plants etc from a long extinct era, millions of years ago. Lets leave em in the ground.

Feel free to discuss further on Mastodon
