Yeah I don’t think teens are particularly pro-Palestine or anti-Israel.

Teens throughout history have just been anti-war and anti-killing-children.

Is couchsurfing still a thing?

I also heard every victim were addicted to water…

Also having to manually bring the pigeon back to the launching site, because pigeons only work one way.

It’s closer to how you (as a person) know things than, say, how a database know things.

I still remember my childhood home phone number. You could ask me to forget it a million times I wouldn’t be able to. It’s useless information today. I just can’t stop remembering it.

Lifetime guarantees are absolutely still a thing. But it’s normally for higher priced items since the quality of the average ware went down.

I agree with you that customers should become more responsible for the decisions they make. But we’ve proven time and time again (for decades if not longer) that customers are not rational actors that know everything about everything. Ads would never work if that was a thing.

But here we are. There are laws against false advertising and words have exact meanings. The fact that “unlimited” is still not false advertising baffles me. It should be.

I guess you’re okay with predatory wordings in product descriptions that target people who don’t understand that things cannot be without limits? Just because they should know better, ignoring the fact you don’t know everything? Where do you draw the line? Would you blindly trust a single drug description saying it cures cancer, though no such thing can ever exist?

In the marketing department apparently.

Companies should stop saying unlimited if we all agree nothing is unlimited, don’t you think?

TBF, we have achieved a FSD that is safer than one human this year. But we took away the driver license of grandma so now we have to find another human that’s worse than FSD.

We need UBI, like, 5 centuries ago.

You can do SSH tunneling over DNS, so everything is possible.

With less sexual harassment than the competition.

A proper server should have one user per service.

What are you using for SSO?

Don’t let the culture drive you, you do you.

That’s why you don’t write a virus for Linux…

Yes, that’s in the US where shady things are done like this a lot. Having lived in diffeeent countries abroad this doesn’t happen anywhere else as far as I can tell.

Wait until you learn about the government. To get your birth or marriage certificate, my county requires that you go to a totally shady URL of a private company that actually is in the business of printing those and shipping them, for a fee of course. Oh and enter your SSN and ID please, without knowing if there’s any security standards they follow.

Am I the only one spooked that the government would not keep those records itself??? And ask a private entity that returns almost nothing if googled by name?!?

I’m an engineer with trade secrets on his laptop. I’ve heard of dozens of people getting laptops stolen from their cars that they left for like ten or fifteen minutes.

The chances are slims, but if it happens I’m in deep trouble whether those secrets leak of not. I’m not taking the risk. I’m encrypting my disk.

It’s not like there’s a difference in performance nowadays.
