Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?
  • Yep this. They are afraid that their way of life is being threatened... Just like the other fanatics There are religious fanatics, sporta fanatics, Independent fanatics prepping for the aliens to come and kill them, etc. Mobs are dangerous no matter the flag they wave.

  • Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general

    So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren't companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I never asked them to store these things..

    Why is End of Life of an OS bad for an average user?
  • Practice good hygiene and it'll be fine The trouble is that modern apps are forced to adopt features which depend on the new OS. Your old one will be incompatible, on purpose

    The security aspect is secondary to the monetary growth and recuperation of investment in the new OS.

    They spent all those monies to make it "AI" betting that you will eat it up and pay up. Now there will be significant pressure for them to "increase adoption" or someone gets fired

    Did you use pre-internet online services like CompuServe or Quantum Link? How was your experience?
  • I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn't know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads.. Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds..

    New radio station is pretty sweet! I've find myself humming a bunch of this retro synth stuff to myself everywhere I go

    "relationship" with kids mom

    I am beginning the process of divorce. There was no history of anything bad, just general lack of compatibility. We've been together 13 years, and at least the past 3-4 we've been shells of who we were.

    Though we both care deeply, we both know we want to be loved differently.

    Right now I'm still going between the depression/despair and some irrational nostalgic notion that maybe things could be the way I thought they were (in my mind I know that these are rose tinted memories)

    How do former couples get along usually? I'm a child of divorce, where my Mom moved two states away and I went with her. My parents were cordial, I think.

    My ex thinks that we should remain friends, but I think that will make the grieving process harder for me. I wonder if this desire to remain friends is a way for her to not fully have to let go. But if you want the milk, you buy the cow.

    Should I be wary, or should I be grateful here? How do I protect myself from catching feelings some days and dragging my healing for to long

    Windows 10 is the last version of Windows
    www.pcmag.com Windows 10: the Last Version of Windows?

    Instead of releasing a whole new version every few years, Microsoft plans to improve Windows through regular updates.

    Windows 10: the Last Version of Windows?

    Raising this dead article as Microsoft now delivers extended support pricing details for those who choose not to migrate to the newer version of Windows. The one they were told they'd not ever have to migrate to

    the agent's argument in the matrix

    He said to Neo that humans are like a virus, breeding and infecting the world with our "stick" and general disgustingness.

    I look around the world, at the state of society, the environment, international conflict and the enshitification of humanity - I've gone through my life blindly accepting that life for life's sake is beautiful, and worth it.

    But as I see the state of it all, our perpetual need to destroy each other over ideas and resources, I struggle to come to grips with it. Societies around the world are facing population shrinkage... Do they all know something I don't?

    Is human life beautiful, and objectively worth perpetuating? Or are we a blight? Why should we be?
