Sure but this is very similar to messaging isn’t it? Like most of my friends use WhatsApp, but a few people use signal and that number is increasing.

At least with email, a single client could presumably send encrypted emails to others when possible, and regular emails when not. Add opposed to messaging where I cannot send messages from signal to WhatsApp

As a kid I used to think it was dumb when in myth or story, the ruler would visit some kind of oracle/witchdoctor/etc for advice or good luck. And yet here we are.

Is it really so hard to make it secure? If both parties are using some kind of secure email client, couldn’t the clients just encrypt and decrypt the subject/content?

So worst case, your mom/aunt deal with the same amount of advertising crap that they always have, but anyone who wants to can remove this stuff and use the same Linux as they do today.

It’s certainly different than C, but IMO Rust’s type system is also a dramatic improvement.

No no you misunderstand. The literal servers are oxidising

And how would the advertising world even get their shitty software onto your computer? Unlike windows, there isn’t some monolithic corporate entity making decisions about your computer for you.

I think so too, however I’ve thought that about so many things that he ended up getting away with

Depends how many of these kids will end up in AA meetings

I loved spore as a kid, but I do agree that when I tried it again and an adult I was disappointed by the shallowness that I just hadn’t noticed as a kid

A pitiful, embarrassing dog at that

My comment was meant as a joke to the same effect, making it obtusely obvious to managers that this time is not to be disturbed

Maybe we should start calling “free time”, “recovery time”

I thought so at first too, but then realised that “ass or boobs” being both predominantly female traits, excludes people who prefer guys, so it might genuinely be just a more inclusive form of the classic question

I mean, I’m aware I can simply not murder people, but I still want murdering people to be banned. (Admittedly this is a false equivalence but the point stands)

I mean at some point it stops being indoctrination right? They will just start hating the US on their own, for actual legitimate reasons

Should we be so lucky

A “badly behaved”/annoying kid is how I know of it being used

Oh I love board games! Any favourites worth mentioning? My friend group was obsessed with Paleo for like a year, played it almost every weekend.

Camping, hiking, a crackling fire, being outdoors. Sunshine, snow, rain, winter. Beaches, mountains, forests. Skipping stones on a lake. Pottery, programming, puzzles. Good coffee, good tea, and hot drinks in general (esp. Feuerzangenbowle!). And probably more?
