No worries, I agree with you in principle and for my own usage but, in practice I don’t want my grandma to have to think about security at all and I’d prefer if there were very few ways she could be social engineered to circumvent what secu

Fair enough. Many of my end users were indeed eager or at least willing to learn as you say. A non-insignificant portion were not though, and those are the ones I'm speaking of. But that was also a professional environment. Your intere

I would assume your browser automatically applies security updates in the case of 0day exploits, no? Like I said, automatic updates are an evil. But the general populace will absolutely defer every security update until the end of time so l

I can only assume you’ve never worked in desktop support if you think that is something the general populace is remotely interested in. Smartphones are a step in the right direction for the tech illiterate and uninterested. There is zero re

Yes, I will continue to subscribe to Starlink because the alternative is 30/1 dsl. I disliked Elon back when I started anyway.

Nobody is buying Starlink as a political statement.

by davkan 2y ago
Elon is the world’s richest man, not just the states’, and he has been meddling in the politics of other nations such us Germany and the UK.

I agree deregulation is a focus of the current admin but there is also control. See pam bondi threatening to prosecute private companies with DEI programs. If you consider healthcare to be industry it would be one of our largest and he has

A coup is a sudden takeover or upset, it does not have to be illegal, though it is usually understood to be.

My friend is a poet and will be the first to say we can objectively judge art. I agree to the extent that there are certain criteria we can look at and objectively make a judgement on the quality of the work. I think bad and good are probab

If the only metric by which you judge your media consumption is enjoyment then I could see how a term like guilty pleasure is not relevant to you. If you generally seek media that challenges your comprehension, or grants you new insights in

Microtik is my preferred prosumer networking hardware. Much prefer it to the ubiquity gear I’ve used.

It sounds to me like you’re just describing the limitations of textual communication, which I agree is limited in all the ways you have written in this post except the last. But, it’s entirely possible to have thoughtful, deep, honest discu

40-50 year olds did not grow up with social media. Myspace didn’t even exist when they were in high school. People in their early to mid 30s had Facebook come into popularity during high school. I’d wager the majority of that age group woul
