But that's just it. To the megalomaniacal, psychotic, fascist person id assume the dream of having you own personal household slaves, or factory slaves that you can ln explort and abuse you heartless content would be the creme de la creme of goals.

You know what I'm always surprised is missing everytime I see this list? Repealing the 14th amendment. They are so wrong on all of it but somehow they don't go for that one.

I'm gonna guess it's related to leap day. Someone rolled there own time date module and a weekly cron job.

When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.

So I'm one of those people without an internal monologue ( but I can choose to subvocalize if I want).

I don't know if this will help you understand but for me everything is quiet. All the time. I don't say to myself "I should take a bite of the apple" - I just take a bite. As I type this reply out I have not determined what the next world will be before writing it, I just write. If I need to build a mental image it is simply there.

When I need to make a decision, is made. I might have been pondering it for some time, but it's not a surface thought. Again I can subvocalize - but it's more speaking to the room as opposed to having an internal argument.

And when I say quiet, I mean quiet. I did not realize for most of my life that monologues in books where anything more then a story telling device.

Story time! There is series by Tad Williams called "otherland" - it's a rift in the standard stuck in vr story.

Anywho. There is a group of hackers, weirdos and nerds who did not like the corporate vr experience and built their own (treehouse). In all honesty it's an expansion of the tor project.

But it's what I hope for. A place to end up in the web that's not saturated to hell and back by corporate interests, and you need to know someone for the ladder to be let down and you to be let in.

So my wife and I are one of them. I'll call it as it is, we got lucky, and both work in tech.

Now that said, I "rent" (rent in quotes because the amount is almost exactly what the increase in food costs was) out a room to a good friend because she was struggling, and just last week got another friend couch surfing for who knows how long until she can get her feet under her.

If you feel like poking a bear. NIST 800-63B is the US Federal guidance on passwords. In the past this guidance said to have long passwords and rotate them. Now they say 8 characters and never change (along with using MFA).

Funny how critical role is making it's own system...

I'm sorry, but I'd be more terrified of Microsoft. A company worth more than nations, (current market cap puts it about the 10th richest country in the world), and who routinely tells other companies to pony up - and they do (look up a software audit if you want to see a corporate shakedown).

The cheap money is gone. Now suddenly companies need to find profit to satisfy investors.

She predates the baby boomers. She was in diapers when pearl harbor was bombed. Two decades younger should be the mandatory retirement age for politicians.
