I think medical advancement could be as dramatic this century was in the last. However, patent law is likely to hold us back

Writing down a crypto wallet key in a self hosted password manager on a highly encrypted self hosted drive which degraded. Pretty much the same with the photos, if I didn’t encrypt my backups I would have been able to recover more files.

You would not believe how much I have lost from being obsessed with high-threat modeling for my low-threat life. $10k and family videos for a start.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to protect the community from itself lol.

Art is theft

All art is inspired by other art, it grows, evolves, eats itself, parodies life, informs living.

I wouldn’t worry about it

To be fair, I don’t know many complex websites that work on Safari

I hang out with my cats.

People have weird impressions of animal companions, especially cats, because they treat them poorly. You should raise animals like children: learn from a good cat parent directly and read up on evidenced-based books. It’s easy to see parallels with poor parenting: intergenerational poor parenting, nuclear families where the grandparents aren’t actively engaged in teaching how to parent, absent parents due to capitalisms unending grind.

It takes patience, positive reenforcement, consistency, and commitment. But cats can be best friends.

Libreoffice calc does not have the functionality Excel does.

ikr, ITT, people getting mad they don’t fit into / agree with a strangers green flag list. The world is a wild place and I hope it’s not as hostile or absurd as I believe it is.

Mullvad has had some awesome projects recently.

Proton have been trying to drive a privacy orientated ecosystem and an alternative to the big three.

Both deserve your money. Great companies

As a lover if insects and arachnids who spends significant time in nature and the garden, the fear I feel for wasps is indescribable.

The idea someone, two millennia ago, wrote wasps to be the most evil, feared, sadistic thing in their experience of the world resonates with me deeply.

Your ISP DNS might have unlisted it. Does it work if you change your DNS provider?

Even the state of politics dating back to the Grachi. Gradually becoming more violent and turbulent and Rome’s reach and power grew. A society of adapters who could no longer adapt to the fast pace of change.

Very uncommon. Arguably one of the most disturbing comedy’s ever made.

Meet the Feebles is a 1989 musical comedy produced and directed by The Lord of the Rings mastermind Peter Jackson. The film is set behind the scenes at a Muppet Show-like theatrical company, and it nods to The Muppet Movie with its story about raggedy puppet entertainers dreaming of making it big. Except in Meet the Feebles, most of the puppets are diseased, drug-addicted, and / or sexually perverse. Jackson, his partner Fran Walsh, and fellow New Zealand weirdos Danny Mulheron and Stephen Sinclair collaborated on a screenplay that weaves together about half a dozen subplots; the most prominent involves the talented hippopotamus Heidi, whose lover (and the troupe’s impresario) Bletch is cruelly dismissive and adulterous. As the Feebles prepare for the show that could be their big break, their personal problems start to spill over onstage.

I’m looking to switch my parents over to something more friendly than windows which I can remote support. If it’s okay to ask, what have you found has been well accepted by old people?
