I mean if you write malware “for a good cause” plenty of people will rightfully judge you for subverting their expectations, and the reasoning doesn’t matter thst much. And it’s not like they’re completely in the wrong either.

…but do yoz “understand libraries” by reading every line of their code, or by reading the documentation? And only in the parts you’re actually interested in?

Commissions are perfectly fine as long as they’re upfront about the price and it’s not percentage based. Then you basically just pay for a service / someone’s time.

And title.search is a problem with the government… Civilized countries have national registries of who exactlx owns what, and in the best ones you can freely look it up online, too.

There are tens of millions of tech jobs, the vast, vast majority of which is doing boring stuff like running the websites you visit.

…and then in their free time some create platforms like the one you’re on roght now, for free. So the generalization you made therr isn’t that appreciated.

It’s a stupid misdirection. What should be celebrated is the achievement and the trajectory they’re on. This is as if the US finally took renewables seriously, reached at least the global average, and people were like “it doesn’t matter because there are countries that do a 100%”. No - context absolutely does matter.

Hate is maybe the wrong word, but they’re certainly naturally opposed to it. Like a fish is naturally opposed to living on land. It doesn’t hate the land, but if it gets to decide you don’t get any.

Besides their pipelines being miles better, they never wete that great of an alternative.

My point is that institutions like that simply should not exist. They are effectively lobbying groups (if it’s nonprofit / non-governmental organization) or propaganda machines (if established by the people in power).

Neither has any place in democracy.

We don’t need “purpose built” think tanks; we need people with actual experience, with jobs, etc. giving in their 10 cents of expertise when required.

And they should be required only when the governmening bodies are implementing things they have been actually voted in to do. We shouldn’t havr good-for-nothing “government employees” fearing to be out of job creating busywork for themselves that only perpetuates and creates layers upon layers of useless bureaucracy that nakes the average person’s lives worse.

The fact that anyone with any power (and they do have the power to influence politicians, which is more than what your average citizen has) is even suggesting this should absolutely be alarming. It is “only a suggestion” now, and then next time when the politicians vote on it it might be late.

Ahh okay. Well then the issue becomes actually having this DNS server with all the records you need, and serving it to the correct clients - for example you’ll need a different set of records for your LAN and for your VPN.

Although come to think of it since my DNS records are already kinds scripted I could probably fairly easily just script different URLs based on the DNS server I want to serve them from… Maybe worth a try.

I agree it’s a stupid hack, but there are good reasons to use public addresses in your local environment too: for example you’ll need it for any roaming device like a laptop or a phone. It also vastly simplifies certificate management where you can just use sour existing publicly valid certs to access your services.

The only proper solution would probably be ipv6, but that’s not trivial either.

While true, you should also mention that there’s way more ICEs and (more importantly) the way they burn is much, much safer.

You can’t really extinguish lithium fire, it burns way hotter, and it’s more toxic.

Comparatively an ICE car burning is not a big deal; they almost never make other stuff around them burn, and also when they catch on fire it’s pretty much exclusively only when people are still near/in them so there’s A chance to notice it and do something about it.

Competition only works when the stuff you’re protecting can have competition. If it’s an algorithm that’s objectively better with no alternative, it doesn’t really work.

It’s also like… When you can have anything in the world it stops having meaning. So you can realistically only crave power, and by pushing others towards shittier and more miserable lives you elevate yours - it’s the only way.

Doesn’t fucking matter. It’s only a matter of time until they push for full deanonymization of everyone on the internet.

Then use KeePass(XC) and don’t put your passwords in that database. Has/does everything you want if you can survive that it can also do more.

Has support for Steam OTP codes too.

With all these internationally spanning laws lately maybe it’s time we also had some kind of framework for dispute resolution - mostly something like nations staying behind their citizens in stuff like this, telling the other coubtry tp pound sand / do it themselves.

The thing is though you could have both, at least to a degree. You could have much more transparent policing, the cameras could do processing purely locally and based on publicly accessible lists with listed reasons for why the given plates are captured, you could make it so that the only ones who do get the data are actually thr police and not thr company selling the cameras, etc.

But that’s not in the interest of Flock, or even really the powers that be. The surveillance machine needs feeding, doesn’t matter for what cost.

There is no “Windows 10 shutdown”. The only thing that was supposed to happen is end of free security updates, but Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.
