Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.

I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!

I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.

I can’t imagine any system of influence running an exposed ssh without some further protection from connection abuse like fail2ban.

Black Panther.

It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.

I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

The combination of clean UI with long promised updates seems like a winning combination. I don’t really play games on my phone. I just want it to go through the basic tasks quickly (photos, voice dictation, app switching etc, I currently have a OnePlus 7 Pro and it has kept up admirably - but being stuck in android 12 with some quirky behaviour is a bit annoying).

So I guess I’m not looking for a powerhouse - but I do want something that does the basic stuff right - however if it doesn’t bring table stakes (ie if modem or voice quality or other connectivity is subpar) then the rest is not important.

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t considered that as a criterion and was thinking of pulling the trigger. Do you have any recommendations?

How about: I’m sorry to hear that, are you holding up ok?

Are you on an enterprise subscription / office 365 work or school account or something like that?

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.

I’m wondering if Dorsey has any stakes in Telegram’s crypto bullshit…

I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.

Untrackable might mean you get lumped with the worst actuary table in terms of risk as an unknown quantity or as a form of pressure to let them track you or as a way to create a defence moat of people (your rates will go up like these untrackable vehicles) if the government tries to intervene to stop them from basing rates to tracking.

I was scanning it for the “we’ve been played for ABSOLUTE FOOLS” part.

…the itch wasn’t scratched. :(

Try CloudFlare Turnstile - a lot cleaner than recaptcha.

The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.

Triple funny that this can be a “then let them eat cake” joke where they’re giving worse than useless advice from an irrelevant perspective.
