If a website doesn’t want me to see their shit, then I guess i won’t see their shit. I already have some sites that don’t work because of my aggressive use of lists on my pihole, in addition to the usual browser plugins. If a site doesn’t work now, I just move on. I don’t give a shit about any site enough to put up with this type of bullshit.

Going back to the most famous code comment in Unix history You are not expected to understand this.

In the past, when there was a much higher tax on high income earners, instead of paying more in taxes, they would spread the wealth a little more equitably. This was true in Hollywood, in corporations, hell, in working service industry jobs. There were still rich, but so were others. In the past 40 years, we have been experiencing the greatest wealth transfer (over $50 fucking trillion ) from the working class to the 1% ever. And it’s poised to get worse. Anyone who doesn’t support unions and a strongly progressive tax is either ignorant of the history of the US, or an asshole. There is no in between.

If anyone cares, this is an Apple thing.

It will never happen, for so many reasons.

I don’t know, I remember hearing that everything would soon be IPV6 a couple decades ago.

I don’t even understand why it’s become taboo. Sure, I’ll go along with current bullshit group think, just to lubricate the means of communication, but what the fuck?

It’s freaking hilarious how untrustworthy China is, yet the US still trips over themselves to buy Chinese crap. The capitalist race to the bottom in full effect, from the economy to the gov’t.

Oh, I’ve followed this stuff for years and years. I’ve been using Linux pretty much exclusively for a quarter of a century. People love to harp on the security issues, but from what I’ve seen that’s pretty much theoretical. The only real compelling argument is that developers are leaning toward Wayland, so that’s the way it will go. I’m sure some day I’ll go to update and it’ll be time to make that change.

I’m not a developer. I wasn’t super happy with the change to systemd, but it’s not like I was the one that had to deal with the init v issues, so when it changed, I went along. I’m sure the same will happen with Wayland. The last time I tried it, a lot of my decades of cruft didn’t work, shortcuts and workflow issues. Sure, I should probably clean up all that crap anyway, but like I said, it’ll happen when it happens. Until then, I’m completely happy with X11.

Still no issues on Debian.

What would you use for a synonym for based? I keep seeing that used. I always thought it was just some alt-right meme bullshit, but I’m learning I was wrong. I still don’t get the use. My mind always thinks “based on what?”
