As Doctorow points out, ‘Saying security and privacy don’t matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn’t mater because you have nothing to say.’
It’s a very short-sighted view. Those rights will be taken from you if you don’t protect them.
There’s a reason Primus’ Les Claypool mentions the 7 Layer Burrito in “Wynonna’s Big Brown Beaver”.
The shit was good.
McDonald’s Beef tallow fries. One of the great losses of my early life.
After all you’ve seen Trump get away with I can’t believe that you still somehow think this little detail will matter. SCOTUS will create an exemption of some kind for him.
“White male Presidents over the age of 75 that wear predominantly red ties can pardon themselves at both the federal and state level.”
Project 1999 and Project Quarm. Emulators of EverQuest, which was released in 1999. Official EverQuest is still going strong 25 years later, but the emulator developers (the are several projects) have an agreement to run their versions of the game.
I’m playing Project Quarm version now and spend way too much time on it.
Orange and chocolate is a classic combination. I like it.
Oreo cookies with orange juice.
I don’t remember offhand. It was long ago.
I tried reading Discworld a couple of times now and just can’t get into it. So slow and uninteresting to me. I’d love to know where to start as a old school hard scifi reader.
People I respect revere the guy so there must be something to it, right?
My refurbished IBM Model M from 1984 agrees.
Well I’m not going to argue with you. I’m just saying that kagi has a lot of customizations of search that let you tailor it to your needs.
When you’re not ad-focused you don’t care if the client blocks instagram.com, facebook.com from results.
Do yourself a favor and try kagi.com.
I’m also very happy with kagi. I get search results with no fluff to sort through or scroll past every time I search. It’s such a breath of fresh air.
Kagi is also doing some interesting things with search and many, many things that let you customize how the results are presented to you.
Also, intesrtingly, kagi is growing rapidly and as yet they have spent literally zero dollars on advertisements. Purely word of mouth.
Coincidence? I think not.
You site a tribe of 65,000 primitives in Africa in a conversation about the modern, internet level, instant communication, spacefaring society of eight billion people. Their culture doesn’t scale.
You may have the right idea but you’re on the wrong path to proselytize for it. Eight billion people can’t return to a hunter/gatherer society and squat down in the dust to grind grain on a rock for dinner.
But humans have short memories. As soon as the pressure is off and the complacency sets in, someone will abuse it.
Like true Libertarianism, this assumes that people will be perfect, altruistic and cooperative.
They won’t be. Eventually (quickly) someone will become a cult of personality or a bully and seize power.
See: America 2016/2024.
This is 100% accurate.
I too, second a bidet. Especially a heated water bidet.
My wife and I love ours. We’ve been having our home remodeled and have been hopping through AB&Bs. We’ve missed it a lot.
Well I think it does, because they don’t know literally everything about us yet. But they will one day if we don’t fight back.
