   Point 9 is funny (although not funny in reality)... Americans have NIH syndrome basically. I suppose only once the boomers die out will we have a chance of course correcting incuriosity. I actually remember many years ago some of the justi

   Syncthing is software where i think reading the manual is recommended. it is a fine manual and clears up a lot of the confusion. There's a lot of complexity "under the hood" and trying to just intuit it from the settings is

   "Only after Donald Trump won re-election did it start." That makes it seem like Trump was pro-congestion pricing... he was not. I remember reading there was a threat and attempt by him to reverse it. Lest it seem like I am a Tru

   I used to snicker at these guys, but I realized I'm not being humble or to be more theologically minded: gracious. Recognizing we all take a step of faith to move outside of solipsism into a relationship with others should humble us.

   I refuse to be in servility to an app and don't use whatsapp. Facebook uses you. Let others, your friends, and family know the facts. In the case of "business requirements", push back on businesses. You are actually the cu

   I'm just waiting for the day Youtube permanently blocks me from using an adblocker. It's so kind of them to at least make me wait for 5 seconds to acknowledge that using an adblocker is illegal.

   The way they will arrive at the answer is very vague... "The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible sources." I'd like to know the list of said sources and what consensus means (51%?). Presumably,

    I don't disagree per se with any of the OP's points, but back in the day I know why I started to dislike newer ones... the console era became "tier 1" and PC became "tier 2". Something as simple as the ux being

    Does TM's SGNL still work on Signal's servers? Has Signal said that they do allow Telemessage's custom signal client use on their servers?

    Is there a "platform authenticator" that allows import/export of the actual origin site, keypair, and credential id in plaintext? The next would be a variety of platform authenticators able to import and use those? I don&#x2

    Are you able to use rcs and "messages for web"? The last time I checked if you wanted "cellphone is off" texting/voice (basically the old hangouts), you had to enable "fi syncing" which disabled rcs featur

    Do you love the movie Hackers? I submit there are two camps of moviegoing nerds: those who love Sneakers and those who love Hackers. I will admit though, many many years later I softened to the sheer goofness of Hackers (which offput me m

    I thought the only client allowed on Signal was the official build provided by Signal itself? Does this mean Signal does officially allow another build (Telemark's TM SGNL) access to the Signal network?

    I'm fine with U.S. pulling back funding for CFPB. I always found it ironic that corporate supported CSPAN has done a great job of informative programming while CFPB/NPR is barely listenable/watchable. IMO, it really goes to

    I don't think UBI will work. Once it's universal, it will be soaked up somewhere in the economy. I would bet on land/real estate.

    Look up Jasmine Mooney. If you do not have a pristine visa and completely clean record I wouldn't travel into the U.S. It makes no sense to take unnecessary risks for a holiday vacation.
