Not to mention that the civil war was lost through the presidential election of 1876 even though it was won in battle before that. That election was so corrupt that the Union conceded a lot to get their president, including removing Federal forces from the South on the promise that the South would protect Federal rights of minorities, blacks, etc. (among other things) The North pulled out and the south reneged without consequence (the KKK was the strong arm then) until the Civil Rights act in the 60s. That’s only roughly 60 years ago. Most of the institutional segregation from before then is still firmly in place.

Yes, and the church went nuts displaying the “Holy Relic” that was his supposed foreskin for many, many years, in many churches… At the same time. It got so out of control that people started to wonder why the church was so obsessed with Jesus’s dick.

Duh.

Read a newspaper some time. You might learn a thing about that.

I didn’t realize all Russians were in the Linux kernel maintainers file. Silly me.

This is not collective punishment.

Science is the process of getting things a little less wrong.

Tried this game. It needs a lot of polish.

The problem with repairing the earth’s climate isn’t that we don’t know what to do. It’s that humans refuse to organize themselves in a way that achieves that goal. AI won’t fix that.

Don’t we have AI assistants for this?

“But the breakthrough will come just as soon as the chips no one can make are delivered.”

Probably.

Bitwarden supports importing Firefox passwords.

When you don’t have a business plan you choose ads.

Install valid certs. Problem solved.

It’s about control. And monopolies love control (governments, too). If we let them, they’ll take it and then we’re screwed.

It’s probably going to move to hardware attestation similar to what Android and iOS are doing. This may or may not be a good thing.

Give me a free car and I’ll test it out with this “service”. I’m not buying a car that advertises to me.
