Moodle in English -> General help -> Can a username be considered a confidential value? -> Re: Can a username be considered a confidential value?

Moodle default behaviour is that the teachers don't see the usernames of the course participants. I'm not saying that there aren't places where this "leaks", you may have to study the Security and privacy forum for that.

In case there is a leak, I'll be happier the intruder finding usernames than (true) mobile numbers! Therefore I think forcing the username to be a mobile number is not a good idea. On top of that, what if somebody doesn't (want to) have a mobile phone, or if they are kids not yet belonging to the "mobile" age?

Hi Ken

As already linked https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=452551#p1844763 I am not happy to talk about this master's lunacy. Still, I respond since you asked.

Before syncing:
$ grep release version.php
$release  = '4.1.11+ (Build: 20240802)';
$ git branch
  MOODLE_31_STABLE
  MOODLE_32_STABLE
  MOODLE_33_STABLE
  MOODLE_35_STABLE
  MOODLE_38_STABLE
  MOODLE_39_STABLE
* MOODLE_401_STABLE
  master

Syncing
$ git pull
[output as posted in my previous post]
$ grep release version.php

$release  = '4.1.12 (Build: 20240812)';

$ git branch
  MOODLE_31_STABLE
  MOODLE_32_STABLE
  MOODLE_33_STABLE
  MOODLE_35_STABLE
  MOODLE_38_STABLE
  MOODLE_39_STABLE
* MOODLE_401_STABLE
  master

Well, it is Monday morning where Moodle grows. So I ran a sync in a copy. Nothing dangerous happened. Maybe the origin/MOODLE_XYZ_STABLE notation isolates us from the master's name change.

Moodle in English -> Lounge -> Will the US government break Google's monopoly?

by Visvanath Ratnaweera -
Picture of Particularly helpful Moodlers Picture of Translators

Now Google is digesting a double thrust, Google Just Lost a Big Antitrust Trial. But Now It Has To Face Yet Another.One, what do you think, will the US government break Google's monopoly?

And Will the Google Antitrust Ruling Change the Internet?

As a Moodler I am also curious to know the future of Moodle Global search, assuming that it is powered by Google.
