interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn't processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn't the same as what I used to think strings were: words!

Okay, I'm learning networking but have no idea what this means

I've switched to OpenTracks, and short of the (imo) needless social media functions, it's great!

"Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps"

Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn't been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years

Funny, I'm trying to think of the amount of times my 8 year old daughter asked me to switch to windows because Linux has too many issues, and I've got nothing.

The real copium is thinking Linux is poverty, just to feel good about windows.

Quality copypasta!

cheap and easy? I tried running it myself and ran into several hurdles, and gave up. How did you host it? VPS? Docker? Bare-metal?

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what's not to like?

Author admits smartphones are ubiquitous, and doesn't at all consider, in a hypothetical situation where everyone unanimously agreed to stop using them, where all this e-waste will go?

Also, how do you disillusion the millions of people that use them religiously?

I get the sentiment, but only a significant technologically literate society would really appreciate the need for greater control over their devices and actually possess the skills needed to modify and configure them.

Greed isn't limited to any one economic system, I fear.

I do think that if a family member were to drop unconscious, I would drive regardless, but not having the potential legal trouble afterwards is a nice thing to have, in case the cops got involved or something.

thanks for the perspective. I think I will keep it. I just hate all the costs associated with driving, and I don't even drive, and have to pay this and that.

And yeah, I have been in situations where I needed to drive, like helping a buddy drive a uhaul, or when another buddy passed out, I drove him to the hospital just in case he dropped behind the wheel.
