I'm using MX Linux since ~2018, it is a great distro, based en Debian

Yup, software wise it's easier for someone in his 20s to learn and use the latest tech, that a 35yo will not know ; but for chip design, or simply PCB routing a 14 layers board, you need a lot of experience and you don't have it at 20yo

On my Amstrad CPC6128, with a Z80 at 4MHz, 128K of RAM, 3" floppy disk, I had CP/M 2.2 and CP/M 3 (aka +), with this I was able to do Turbo Pascal, dBase II, etc. in 1984 or something, instead of having a $$$ PC with 8088 and DOS.

Thanks Alan Sugar!

Absolutely, I have a VPN server at home and my cellphone is always connected to it.

Also my router at home advertise as the only DNS server, intercept every DNS request in case it's hardcoded, and is using DoT/dnssec to resolve. I can be anywhere even connected to public WiFi and check with DNS check tools that my DNS is secure and using cloudfare/quad9.

Developers have to pay Apple to be on their app store? It means a lot of people will simply publish their app for Android, and not Apple, easy.

Not even only in America, but only in USA, because in Canada there is a 1-2 years waiting list for some EV, and dealership sell them higher than MSRP, people are selling for thousands of $$$ their place in waiting list too.

I can with code, often when I go to bed, I can continue to code, a little bit like if I was in an IDE. I can write code, follow code, run/trace code. The next morning I type it in the IDE, and sometimes it works first try with handled corner cases and all.

You mean conservatives? Because laws like this are beloved by far-right, extremist, religion, and conservatives. If you think Trudeau might abuse this, wait for Poilievre!

Power grid... thousands of small devices monitoring/interacting with power grids are on the net. Remember the 2003 blackout? It could be way worst with the push of a button, to disrupt all of those devices.

> Without Paypal, it is basically impossible for two random strangers to transfer money using a credit card. (Venmo is a part of Paypal).

In USA I guess and why credit cards? Because in Canada we can transfer money for free between anyone using e-transfert Interac, between all banks/credit unions, with a simple email or phone number, instantaneously.

I buy/sell stuff on marketplace (biggest emarket here, a little kijiji, and no craiglist at all) and 80% of selling/buying is using e-transfer, even for $5 or $10.

Language is a huge problem, we have the same problem in Canada where millions of people speaks French. When it was DVD times we were not able to legally play Europe Zone DVD in Canada so we had no access to the thousands French DVD movies ; and now with streaming it's the same, English only, no French dub, no French movies. I think I still cannot legally see Married With Children dubbed in French, after 30 years that it was released.

I was also lucky early days to have an invite and grabbed a 5 letters common word, let's say "angel@gmail.com", you cannot believe the number of stuff I receive from around the world... Spain, UAE, Australia, China, etc during those years... lastly it's mostly cellphone contracts. I ignore those emails, but sometimes I reset password and close account. One of the most annoying one I remember was from dentist appointment system in Florida or California, it was spammy a lot.

What is left? the frame, it's still the same as in the old RFC, isn't it? Layers on top don't care.

True, we comment first, then read TFA after!

I agree. I'm using adblocker since it exists. I rarely go on youtube except for some reviews or how to repair your dishwasher. Yesterday I went on YT and got the dreaded message. Clearing cache/updating uBlock did nothing so I disabled it to watch a video. And wow, surprise, WTF is this site? ads, ads everywhere! It's unwatchable and hard to navigate, wtf is this?!?
