We worked "with" them for decades, which turned out to be them taking advantage of us.

It's time to write a new story, and not fiction like yours.

Then you can have your kid move in with you.

Did you teach your kids to be shitheads like you? Bet you did.

False. There is no comparable setting without any known contamination.

The modules in cars with voltage regulators are shielded. The data buses are a real concern. However, they could also easily and cheaply be shielded. CAN also uses a differential signal on a twisted pair, which limits the noise.

Spoken like a guy who has never bought a compressor or a tire.
The compressors they give you with the car are trash. They are $10-$20 at wholesale. You can get a pretty decent compressor (that you would want to reuse) for less than the cost of one tire, at retail prices.
That's still not why they did it, of course. They DID do it for packaging reasons. Not having a spare means not having to have space for the spare. But they ARE saving money.

So don't have those things. Anything which takes a coin cell should be removed from the household, or at least locked up in a box where it's inaccessible.

This is not rocket surgery.

It is possible if both parents don't have to go to work. People used to literally be with their children all day for the first few years of their lives. They didn't want them to wander off into the woods and get eaten by a wildcat or whatever.

Preventable with effort.

It might be a lot of effort, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

What I actually think is that most parents severely underestimate the difficulty of parenting, so they half-ass it and then if everything works out OK anyway they tell themselves they did a good job. Outcomes are the easiest way to measure, but if they only succeeded by chance, then it really wasn't their doing.

If you're not willing to sanitize your household to make it child safe then you're not a good parent.

If you became a parent accidentally when you couldn't afford to make your household child safe, guess what? Also not a good parent.

I do have a good idea of how hard parenting is, that's one reason I chose not to do it. I've had several opportunities. I always passed, sometimes resulting in the end of a relationship. It was always the right call.

Yes, there is an antitoxin for botulism, and the amount needed is based on the amount ingested so if it is addressed promptly, you know the rest.

If it's shit laws all the way down you won't be allowed to use a VPN without a license

We could end up with a future where Apple allows sideloading everywhere but China...

"We need to stop calling things that aren't copyleft "open source" - because they aren't"

Yes, they are.

"Open Source" doesn't mean you can do anything with the sources. It means you can see them. Some of us were using the phrase for years before the OSI even existed.

Cringe to who? People who don't know shit about Microsoft, Bill Gates, the relevant history, or the computing ecosystem in general? Fuck 'em, Slashdot is not for them.

But that's super dumb, because they run the site. They can track every click and collect browser info without adding anything to their pages, and as an added bonus, they aren't giving their tracking info away to others when they do that.

Probably more like they are putting ads on Faceboot and having the tracking pixel on their site makes it so that they can get clickthrough stats in the same interface as they post the ads.

He spent years fighting Free Software by fraudulently equating Open Source with it, on the basis that another member of the OSI allegedly coined the term "Open Source" which was around for well over a decade before then.

This is the next logical step; Having succeeded at this original goal, now he is trying to declare that Open is dead, and long live Post-Open.

Open is not dead, it does what it was supposed to do: Specifically, it shares knowledge about how to do things. But it doesn't do what Free Software does, which is to give the actual user a good chance to have updates which they can actually use. And it never, ever did.
