Are we really going to trust something security-oriented by a guy who conceived of systemd? Instead of creating something which improves security and isolation, he created something renowned for its architectural and management complexity, privilege boundaries (or frequent lackthereof), attack surface, and the frequent consequences of concentrating system management in a large privileged software stack.

I'm reminded of the SSH/Pulse Audio privilege escalation through systemd some years back... due to their obstinately poor security design.

I remember getting my first 9600 baud modem and using macros in procomm plus to spam middle finger ansi art on dialup BBS in the late 80s knowing most users were stuck on 1200 or 2400 bauds still. I thought it was so funny at the time.

I used to be such an asshole. I mean, I'm still an asshole. But I used to be one too.

Illegal doesnâ(TM)t mean I donâ(TM)t have the right to record, tho. Government doesnâ(TM)t give rights.

Neither is erudite language. Grow up.

The callous part of me thinks that was the intention from the start: wash out the capable engineers who were competently producing and hire ethnic cohorts who played the game.

It's Amazon. Anything that gets them the metric that they can put in their promo doc is a good thing.

6-12 months later, when they've been promoted, they can nix it and add it to their next promodoc as company savings in efficiency.

Are you honestly summarizing the current state of advancement in LLM capabilities as "somewhat better search"?

It's apparent from that statement that you've not even been paying a slight bit of attention to state of the art. It isn't 2023; we're a far sight further than you conceptualize, and you'd be well suited to start familiarizing.

the germs to punish humanity for allowing transgender Muslims to practice Sharia law while eating your pets! Repent, heathens, or you'll end up with a brainworm like RFK's and low testosterone!

for the New Horizons probe to explore, like they did with the "snowman asteroid"*, but the area of space it can reach is rather limited, as it can change its path by only about a degree with the fuel it has left.

It's still amazing something going that fast can change its path by a whole degree. Due to luck, it didn't have to use much of its onboard fuel to get to its last 2 big targets. I hope it gets a chance to use it on something important.

* Found the by the Hubble scope, actually. They keep changing the rock's name, so I just call it by its nickname.

...one way

There are other options besides QWERTY and DVORK.

"Plutocrat 'A' grew too big for their britches, so lets give some of the business to Plutocrat 'B'."

What could possibly go wrong?

First, eat a dog.

> that in voting precincts are local, so there are likely to be people there who know the person voting

Most such fraud would be done in bigger precincts, not small towns, so as to blend in better.

> so if it goes bad, you're right there to be caught.

Somebody who ready to run can outpace Barney Fife.

> you have to research the particular details of a specific person.

I'm sure Putin and Xi have a copy of everyone's drivers license.

From the 30's to 60's one got too much lead from rigged gas, and 70's+ microplastics.
