This was the context I never knew I needed, thank you.

If you have privileges from corporate IT and it doesn't get reverted, or overridden to push more AI.

Super simplistic view: Malware detection is kinda like having a motion sensor in your house. Doesn't do much to prevent but can help you catch something. If it notices right away it might prevent something being stolen.

Firewall is like having locks on your windows and doors. It helps keep out the curious and respectful, but not the dedicated.

Security updates aren't necessarily for either of those things. It might be that someone discovered a way to steal your keys, or cut open a window bypassing a lock, or sneak into your basement, or crawl through the pet door. Patches "fix" those vulnerabilities. The longer software (Windows in this case) goes unmaintained the more of those are discovered, revealed, and generally accessible for people to use and exploit your system.

Highly recommend trying a live Linux USB just to poke around and see if it's as much of a hassle as it seems at the time.

Funny meme but also inflation is bad

Too bad we don't have one from 1985 so we can definitively confirm they fucked up the recipe.

Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don't exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn't mean I'm more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Same situation as price gouging, or Apple vs Google, Ford vs Chevy, or Samsung vs LG. Yeah, you have options, but none of them respect you. So you can not travel, not communicate, and not be entertained, or you can "voluntarily" participate in what society has become.

From that perspective, any thoughts on Ho Chi Minh?

Of all the leaders good, bad, and, ugly over the last century, he doesn't seem to be brought up as much by propaganda machines.

That's a sacrifice they're willing to make.

10 GP probably isn't a bad idea

Excellent, I hope this endorsement helps bring more awareness to Mamdani as a candidate!

His presence on the national stage at this point has been cemented.

Honestly, I'm pretty tired of establishment telling us who we'll vote for.

Not very long ago America was never going to vote for a black man.

Bernie could never beat Trump... for some reason.

I just don't want progressives to do the work of conservatives.

Interesting, I guess this will be a good opportunity for analysis.
