It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.

But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.

The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.

All of the software on all of these devices comes from random anonymous people from all over the world.

All of the software on everyone's phone and PC and server is based on open source coming from all over the world.

The rule is there for economic protectionism.

That is the reality.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

I have zero interest in getting looped into Meta's sub-standard AI and relying on it for stuff when the rest of my ecosystem is all wired into Gemini and Claude.

When will a glasses maker launch with OPEN SUPPORT for what AI assistant you want to use with it? Why does it need to be tied to a specific vendor?

AVERAGE temperature matters.

The gulf stream is a moderator. It keeps Britian and eastern Europe warmer in the winter than it deserves to be, but in the summer, has little effect.

What we are seeing now is a heat dome over the summer. IE, the AVERAGE ANNUAL temperature of Europe is going up, not the daily temperature.

If and when the gulf stream shuts down what will happen is Britian and western Europe will freeze in the winter.. in fact it may start to become covered in ice. Go look at any globe and look at where Britian exists compared to Russia and Canada, it is further north than Labrador. For all rights, it should be fozen in ice all winter. The reason it is mild, is because of the gulf stream.

While I don't disagree, it is beyond their control. At the time they released this, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate is 398 days.

It is an ongoing problem with no quick solution that is going to get worse, as the standard is changing the maximum time to be only 47 days. This means that not only will your software have to be able to refresh its trusted cert once a month, it will have to be able to phone home at least once a month in order to do that... a device disconnected for two months in a row will need manual intervention.

I know, right? All this consolidation of power into the hands of a few, plugged into a system with the stability of a PMSing teenage girl, is a very bad sign.

I mean...I don't readily believe in the Revelation of John of Patmos, for certain reasons, but damn if some people aren't trying to make it come true!

I guarantee this is the big difference between what Bernie's bill says versus what the administration is proposing. In one case, you have a bill saying that the people receive ownership without having to incur the risk of an investment. The other proposal is very likely that the government it has to invest at the same valuation that all these VCs did.

So when AI valuations pop, the taxpayer is now on the hook

That statement was AI Slop, there is no reason to put any weight behind it whatsoever.

Everyone knows that you use Archive.org to bypass a paywall.

They aren't doing that.

The certificate is expiring. When it expires, it will no longer be able to talk to the server to validate the license.

In order to fix it, they need to issue a new certificate, which requires updating the software - which they no longer update.

The problem is rooted in the time-boxing of encryption certificates.

"The time comes" is now... it already opened. The fact you didn't even know illustrates the issue.
