My Labrador has excellent teeth.

Man’s best friend becomes man’s best mouth.

Back in the day, Walmart and Apple fought over contactless pay standards for the US.

Apple’s standard was eventually mass adopted, and since then Walmart has refused to license the tech. So you have to use their app, which uses their own tech stack.

Perfectly rigid sticks don’t exist.

That’s fine. 1% per uberweird news cycle is the death of facebook.

Zuck invented the feed.

FFS, his leak is probably in an extension.

Installing more extensions that might also leak is not a real solution, no matter what they do.

Japan also has a population in decline.

Seems like an important enough factor to mention.

Your Aunt should be paying enough taxes that owning a second property should be more or less unfeasible.

A fair system would have her seeking other retirement vehicles.

End-to-end encryption matters if your device isn’t actively trying to sabotage your privacy.

If you run Android, Google is guilty of that.

If you run Windows in a non-enterprise environment Microsoft is guilty of that.

If you run iOS or MacOS, Apple is (very likely) guilty of that.

Minix has not been updated in 10 years. It should not be used on anything connected to the internet.

Most “ultralight stripped down OS” will be built from linux these days. Usually Tiny Core Linux or Alpine.

not to mention…Every 5G iPhone has modem firmware running linux.

and of course every Android phone.

But yes anything else with an IP address that’s not a Windows/Mac/BSD computer… likely Linux.

FAT chain traversal sounds like a diet plan. 😅

Just install the widget first, then add it to the panel.

Think of the extra steps as an NPC guiding you back along the proper path for trying to do it in the wrong order.

It doesn’t matter how these things are configured, you’ll have extra steps if you insist on doing them in the wrong order.

[edit] Why does order matter? Because permissions. Why do permissions matter? Because fundamental OS security.

The feetdraggers will slowly, begrudgingly follow–as always.

Floppy disks, too.

I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It’s because that is what is advertised to them.

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.

Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.

Apples turn brown when you freeze them.
