while im completely against theft, theft is as old as economies of any kind. It is utterly irresponsible for the developers of such software system to have no/little defensive measure or protection against intrusion. This is article is

The article feels dated, like the study began long before the latest revelations about our cosmos have been announced. E.g., we believe the current universe is > 23 billion years old, and that the 13.x bn year timeline is now out of date

oh no they have car DLC now? This is a nightmare. With what Ive learned recently about cobalt mining and the dependencies EVs have on them, it sounds to me like were better off with combustion engines. Guess I can hope for a future with a h

One problem the advertising industry fails to understand is that an advertising agency, or whatever source the ads originate from, is a socioppath. Developers are logical and practical thinkers and despise sociopathic behavior. Developers h

System76 makes decent laptops that run linux really well. Ive had zero of the notorious firmware issues of trying to linux-on-laptop. As a software developer, I wouldnt ever use Pop_OS again. Vanilla Ubuntu is way better, and less complex,

Ugh! After so many years, I now have to view a white-themed internet again. I forgot how painful and blindy websites are! Pls redesign the whole internet to be dark themed, so we dont need add ons like this to fix the world. Thanks!

Zuckerberg revealed his true colors years ago. I had a facebook for a moment in perhaps 2005-06. I deleted it. I have never regretted that, quite the contrary. I have enjoyed a life free of social media, and free of its trappings and influe
