I believe not wanting to put the guy back in who did nothing as the Saudi's bone sawed one of your writers falls into; common sense.

Bozo thought his own op ed was more important than the journalism of his "editorial board", people who he presumably pays to write opinions. People who are journalists.

He thinks he's an astronaut and a journalist because he can buy rocket companies and papers, but he's a clown demonstrating his own lack of understanding of bias in plain English, his paper is worth but the circus music following him.

I binned my copies of ranger and nnn when I found this last year. Its stellar.

Diskonaut is the only other one that stuck, of the new CLI file managers. hunting lost files from a recovered hard drive was a lot easier with directory visualization for whatever reason.

There's some evidence she's a cult member, and was posturing as some kind of Manchurian candidate.

No, really.

Mike Prysner has made a few decent podcasts (QAA, eyes left) following her political career and service. I don't think you can definitionally tie her to membership, but she's got some questionable associations.

For the most part what kind of company you are is what kind of product you're selling or making money off of.

So you could contend that Tesla is a battery company or a car company feasibly. Nobody ahead of the AI bubble would have mentioned Tesla and artificial intelligence in the same category.

Besides, if it's what he makes money selling Tesla is a tax credit company.

The classic is a wizard of earthsea/left hand of darkness and they are always worth repeating. If you do just two, those are them. It's almost criminal how these are kinda slipping beneath view these days.

I got a steady diet of her short stories and children's books growing up. I remember sur specifically, but generally they were less fantasy oriented from what I can remember. (Edit:huzzah autocorrect)

I ended up on a first gen dell developer xps and didn't win the Intel nic lottery. Dell's Ubuntu repo bricked my laptop a dozen times til I moved to arch, which actually had the decency to include the broadcom driver.

The hardware is alright, but the total lack of effort in maintaining has been from the jump.

Things like this make me wish the traditionally anti government party wasn't a bunch of loonies, because they'd be the ones pushing this to public conscious in a way that might move the needle.

I don't doubt the intentions of (some) progressive members of government, but they're outgunned and have a long list of priorities. Getting legislation to reverse this isn't coming from corporatists, the infinite retention is going to seem like a feature to business.

I laughed a little because I'm not sure I ever grew out of the expectation of everything being a little broken. You are going to learn so much you could have done without.

On a more sober note I'm not sure adding a business model fixes the problem anymore.

If we paid for our anonymity like toll roads or subscriptions we box out people who can't afford it. Commodity level information isn't likely to be decreasing in value any time immediately.

If equitable access is also on the list, I don't see anything but regulation and taxes getting you there. Just look at the steam store prices outside the first world and you have an idea for how poorly it could go.

Hopefully healthcare.

Does not help the movement most inclined to wrap themselves in a flag just stormed the capital.

Welcome to the part of the Internet with a soul.

Seriously if you're old enough to remember the Internet in terms of users weird passion projects you could do a lot worse than hanging off any part of activitypub.

There's a lot more people than the old days with technical backgrounds, so there's a lot more practical stuff.

Not always. Believe it or not it used to be kinda like it is now, here.

With the technical barriers to entry pre AOL the people online were outcasts, nerds, and science departments at universities. The ad driven model is the attempt to lower barriers of entry make profit of that and not the other way around. Lots of the Internet ran on generosity and donations.

It's been shittier every day after there was an agreement on how to monetize though. The people at the start didn't ever have the guarantee it would get adopted, so for all the idealism we deal with their compromises.
