Portmaster is a good gui for this approach

I think the common goal is not to sound smart, but add variety and diversity to the language, so it doesn’t sound so boring.

This gets really boring and repetitive

How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.

If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.

You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.

yes, you are the asshole. Because you want to keep fighting and your making this post to continue the fight.

If you were not a asshole you wouldn’t care about winning a internet debate.

You could get a “smart tv” but use it as a dumb tv, no internet, no wifi, just have it hooked up to a single input… Then that input could be whatever you want.

For myself I just cast my livingroom laptop screen; no limitations on what i can watch; I suppose if you wanted something dedicated you could setup a micro computer with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo

This isn’t the right community to complain about reddit moderators.

More rarely: some poorly configured USB controllers can actually provide enough backwash power to the motherboard that some LEDs still blink, like the Ethernet indicators.

I ran into this myself, I notice the lights being on, and they stayed on when I unplugged the computer. Took me a good 5m of debugging to figure it out.

this 100% factually incorrect.

I just finished this, yes it took me a month.

I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.

I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.

I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.

I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel

He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay

If I don’t recognize your number I’m not answering the phone. Unless, I specifically am waiting for a call, like from an archaic doctor’s office, or to get a verification of something. That is the only circumstance I will answer a unknown number from.

Even then, I use a voice answering service, that asks the person to identify themselves, and then I am told who is calling. So if that’s not filled in I still don’t answer.

Then, if they get to voicemail, and they don’t leave a voicemail message, they’re obviously spam… And I’m vindicated by not answering the phone

90% - If I recognize your phone number, I will answer the call if I’m not in a meeting. If you call multiple times in a row, I will leave the meeting to answer your call. But it better be an emergency or we’re going to have some feedback to go over…

Also, the people who call multiple times instead of texting and then calling, really really really really really need to stop doing that. If it’s an emergency call, text, call again. Because of the call I’m going to pay attention to what the text message says. So I can see oh it’s a f****** emergency. If you’re the kind of person who leaves a voicemail message, or text message, that just says call me back as soon as you can. F*** you. Learn how to communicate

Calling GenZ tech savvy for always using a cell phone is like calling grandma a mathematician because she spends all day at the slot machine.

Really you need to first define your threat model, the EFF has a good guide on that.

Maximum paranoia would be Wi-Fi only connects to a restricted VLAN that can only talk to a VPN server. You must use a VPN to access your network over wireless. That’s probably too much work for most people. But it would be the most compartmentalized, not trusting Wi-Fi encryption, which really isn’t that strong

Super basic data hygiene means you only use WPA2 and above security for your Wi-Fi network.

Depending on your actual threat model, what you choose to do will probably be between those two points.
