Chemistry and attraction.

Open source isn’t struggling. It’s a struggle. People have high expectations, and expectations go awry in open source and profit models.

Sounds a lot like that claptrap about brown people uniting to take over the world before 9/11. Afterwards the entire world helped in hunting down the groups that had taken it to a level of terrorism.

These world domination plans rarely pan out.

Goto statements do nothing wrong. They were just popular in a time when people were coming to grips with desk jobs, automation, and programming for the masses.

Facebook is reported to be using a shadow profile of non-facebook users. Mastodon stated that whenever you interact with a Threads user it will be recorded by Facebook. All they have to do is join a conversation as a lurker, and your data is sent to Facebook. Given a few more points such as time of day and topic they can start to narrow downwho you are. Add your profile picture, and manner of speech an AI, which they have a multitude of, can generate a probability of who is communicating. Over numerous interactions the law of six degrees of separation will have you nailed down. In some countries this is potentially a problem over data retention, but they’ll have lawyers looking night and day for a way around those trifling laws. Willingness to federate might be seen as consent by default in some cases.

My style is a smash and grab for a wrap. I just fly through discounted salads that would make a great wrap and then hunt down fillers and sauces that appeal.

Favourite being a sprinkle of curry powder, mayonnaise, sun dried tomato strips, artichoke heart strips, shredded lettuce, and a salad mix all drizzled in lemon and sweet chilli sauce. For the kids I add some thinly sliced nuggets.

Hopefully a half decent wrap is on sale too.
