Why?

I had no idea I even did that. I read it several times and in my head it was britches the whole time

Same question - why aren’t businesses responsible for maintaining enough security, with damages due for those whose information they misplace.

Was it a stupid question?

Yep this. They are afraid that their way of life is being threatened… Just like the other fanatics There are religious fanatics, sporta fanatics, Independent fanatics prepping for the aliens to come and kill them, etc. Mobs are dangerous no matter the flag they wave.

Practice good hygiene and it’ll be fine The trouble is that modern apps are forced to adopt features which depend on the new OS. Your old one will be incompatible, on purpose

The security aspect is secondary to the monetary growth and recuperation of investment in the new OS.

They spent all those monies to make it “AI” betting that you will eat it up and pay up. Now there will be significant pressure for them to “increase adoption” or someone gets fired

It’s to support all those artists right? Right?

I just had Mac n cheese with green Chile and meatballs. I liked it 👍

I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn’t know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads… Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds…

If it isn’t meant for others to see, what’s wrong with a .txt file you just add notes to?

I’ve had almost no luck convincing people to try something else… hard to overcome the momentum and the “but everyone I know is on that one”

Same been running netdata for years. They’re monetizing now where it used to just be free. Good for them, it’s a great product. And it’s foss

This perspective is really interesting to me

I have admit,I tend to agree. I make comments like “individual people are smart, but people at large… they’re idiots” it’s the way I can rationalize how we’re facing a rematch of Biden v Trump in the US the year… And other things that defy reason

But in weighing the positives and the negatives of the totality of our impact - how many good small acts does it take to overcome a Khmer Rouge? What about when those loving families are torn apart by religion, patriotism, morality etc and the angels fight? Conflict, like death and taxes, seems undeniable - maturity, much less so

I agree that existence is truly a wonder.

Yet I don’t see how everything else being great around us means we’re so great for just seeing it all… I’d ask, a net positive to what group? Our own, of course, because we procreate. But… at what cost? Does the cow share your zeal for humanity, you know

Is the point of existence merely for wonders to be observed?

Great, but why are you convinced?

I don’t know what human nature truly is, or if there can be a singular definition.

However, judging by the historical record, we seem to be quite good at exploiting things and beings for our own benefit at their expense, which doesn’t really make a compelling case for worthiness

How does this Wikipedia argument address whether or not we’re a blight, or if we should be?

Whom created capitalism, or any economic strategy?

I actually like liftoff… tried jerboa based on open source / non monetization principles - thanks for the tip

Oh just go get your prescription updated already!
