>I would call it more xenophobia than racism - even if you move to a new region from another, more accepted region, you still seem to be seen as an outsider for a while. Even while moving in between local neighborhoods. Thanks for pointi

Japanese “work” is like DC law firms and NGOs - work can involve hoping no one notices you’re watching Netflix on your laptop to make it look like you’re staying late to benefit the company rather than engaging in performative nonsense :-)

I don't think they should perish? It's a lovely place, with a lot of things to teach Americans , but they're going to have issues if they won't let foreigners get some kind of working visa to care for their aging populat

I spoke to someone from your government at a party once. It's largely a ruse now that people rarely set up rabbit ears. (I'm not even clear if they broadcast anymore, they don't do over the air broadcasts using that tech in t

So if you were going to explain it to someone who's less technical, maybe saying "remove HTTPS" would be an oversimplified way to explain? (I don't think my contacts aren't going to know what SSH or PGP is, if that

Thanks I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to A/B test within the USA rather than per country.

Hopefully you'll focus on more than yourself. The issue is folks who will consume the media while shaming those in it. Nobody forced you to lie about your age, and these age checks are hard to do in a privacy preserving manner. (I had

You think it was a leftist? I'm not sure I get the "joke" here. (Speaking as someone who'd be in the SDP if I was living there, the more extreme left doesn't tend to take issue with the fire service, so not sure whe

Do people often use Tor for DDOS? I was under the impression it’s no good for scraping, let alone attacks, due to its speed.

You'd be amazed what folks coming to Pittsburgh to gentrify it say in public spaces :-P It's like they don't grok some of us were born here. (I thought the new trend is coworking paired with loud coffee shop conversations? ;)

Should I start running antivirus on MacOS again? (Ages ago I used to use ClamAV, which is open source... but stopped because it's so resource intensive and most threats seem to come from the browser, not random binaries nowadays.) htt

Is this possibly also the work of those rude little Reichsbürgers? I can understand disliking the police... I prefer not to interact with them myself, but it's a bit of a catch 22 since America doesn't tolerate dealing with Nazis

Why is this happening? In the USA, folks with no insurance go to the ER because they're obliged to treat everyone whereas an "urgent care" can claim you issue isn't life threatening. (Then someone down on their luck can

Hash of a salt stored in my brain unlocks the password vault. This doesn’t work well on mobile though since hashed aren’t typable. One of my New Years todos today is to set up a mnemonic for my phone. That, paired with disappearing messages
