Loud idiots will always be loud idiots. My point was just that nerds are indeed bad at communicating their knowledge to the "normie" world. Because they forget what is daily lingo for them - is just black magic to them.

So you would be fine with someone clearing out your house, while you were away? There is no door, that cannot be opened with enough effort. Part of what stops people trying, is the fear of consequences.

If they are killed by houthi drones and not iranian drones, I would think so. If someone on a military base with no attacks going on, got a heart attack by watching the news, probably not a war fatality. But we don't know, so any concr

Everything about it is. Also in the process of helping my dad with his phone, 76 and my grandmother 99. Maybe this works better with Apple, but the biggest problem on Android is, that it feels like every update shuffles everything around. A

Yeah, that plot might actually work and is more believable than mine. (some women actually do feel like a baby is a parasite growing inside them - this would be a extreme version of it)

Firefox was bad on linux for a long time. Even running the windows ff build via wine/proton got you better performance than the "native" build (I think that was around 10 years ago).
