The IT paradox :

• “Why am I paying you when everything works?”
• “Why am I paying you when everything has gone to shit?”

You are right that vaccines worked so well because mostly everyone had them, and mostly everyone has to take them for them to work.

Village idiots got a support system and crossed the threshold where the herd immunity has diminished enough for outbreaks in communities.

It has been a constant barrage of misinformation spread across the world for decades.

We’ve seen many reports of misinformation farms from Russia, China and North Korea and this is the result of it.

Crazy that they got 116 millions for that.

Why is it so weird? How is it any different than a pucket pussy or a vibrator?

People have sex. Lots of people, lots of sex and as much different way to have sex.

It’s a toy made specifically for sex. Nothing weird about it.

People gotta stop being weird about sex.

Steam is selling lootbox and profiting from cs skins gambling. Pretty fucking scummy.

You can’t become a billionaire ethically. Steam has a pretty big market for lootboxes and cs skins gambling is pretty widespread.

Valve isn’t a walled garden. They allow other apps to be launched through their app and devs can sell steams key on other platforms.

It is still a mega corp, but trying to attack it from the walled garden angle is pretty dumb.

Because nobody enforces the law. There are so many mega corpos that needs to be broken up, but it doesn’t happen.

I agree with you that Linux has issues, but so does Windows and MacOS.

My point is that we usually use the same OS for years, so switching to any other OS will have its quirks. You don’t really see your OS quirks anymore because you’ve learned to work around through experience.

Every OS has their issues though. You take people that have decades of experience in an OS and ask them to change to a different workflow. So yeah, they won’t be proficient the second they load Linux.

You can create a infinite number of scenarios where there are issues with Linux, but the same can be done about Windows and MacOS

I was thinking the same, where?

That’s the best no context quote of the year so far.

Oh I totally agree with that. It’s dumb that there is so many systems that use SSNs as an identification.

My identity infos have been leaked with the Desjardins leaks, so my SSN is forever known and all the critical services that uses SSNs are now more vulnerable.

Not really. I haven’t worked with a TI mcu for a while so I can’t talk about their mcu docs, but their sections describing data exchanges between the IC and your mcu usually has a lot of ambiguity that needs to be clarified through trial and error.

I am not sure if you are agreeing with me or not, but DOB and location where you were born are additional informations as I mentioned in my replie before.

You can guess a phone number as well by changing the last number, but that information has 0 value unless it is coupled with other informations.

There is a lot of accessible distros, but the issue is that people have been using an OS for so long that it is hard to switch and relearn a new workflow.

Asking for everything to be done for you is just asking for another bloatware/spyware OS (see how Ubuntu is slowly going that way for example).

Unless you have a tool that you can’t live without, bite the bullet and make the jump. It will suck for a 2-3 weeks, but it is worth it.

Own that shit. Be weird, awkwardness is normal and we need to make it so.

Nothing stops people from mix matching backup media.

If I lose the series I downloaded versus my family photos, not the same impact.
