Little bitch says what?

All of that shit is like 1% of advertising.

"The showroom isn't just where you buy a car," Automotive News quoted him saying. "It's where you decide who to trust to help you to choose the right car."

Hajajhahaha they think we trust them

Good points.

Any idea how LittleSnitch works? I would assume via DTrace?

Ideally, ad platforms wouldn't exist, because the whole point of them is to lie to people so they make shitty decisions. But barring that, they shouldn't be allowed to refuse to serve ads related to malfeasance similar to that of which they have been found accountable in court.

I didn't know that there was a class of ads that facebook wouldn't touch; they are legendarily flexible so long as the advertiser is paying.

We are all slaves or potential slaves in this society. Don't be such a snowflake.

When was the last time we had a draft?

Oh fuck, you're one of those. Never mind, there's no having a rational conversation with you.

Younger generic material is superior. Period. It's true of men and it's true of women. There are also additional complications related to women having children at older ages which are not genetic. It doesn't matter how anyone feels about it, it's a highly studied phenomenon.

If people are having children at later ages that's not a good thing.

By not spending all their time grouping people into different "races" and judging them by their stereotypes of said races as invariant characteristics of not only first-generation immigrants, but all descendants therefrom, despite the latter growing up in your society, while freaking out about any change, as though every society is constantly changing, let alone one that specifically formed as a melting pot that prided itself on inviting everyone in?

Not that there haven't always been racists.

1840s-1880s: "F***ing Irish!"
1850s-1940s: "F***ing Chinese!"
1880s-1920s: "F***ing Italians! F***ing Slavs! F***ing Jews!"
1890s-1940s: "F***ing Japanese!"
1914-1920: "F***ing Germans!"
Late 1800s-Present: "F***ing Mexicans!"
1970s-Present: "F***ing Muslims!"

Who do you think will be next, while the previous groups become "normal" in the US? How many people of Italian descent do you see going around speaking Italian and living as if it were Italy in the early 1900s? In general, often even in the second generation, and esp. by third and beyond, immigrants' origins generally just becomes a historic fact rather than a daily lived thing. There may be some signature dish that you cook, or you may have a dream to some day visit the country your ancestors came from, or you (might) still be the religion of your ancestors, or whatnot. But you speak the local language, your hobbies are and interests by and large in-distribution for the country, your education was the same standardized education, etc. And over time, due to intermarriage, ancestry increasingly becomes diverse and less defining - "I'm X% Irish, Y% English, Z% Italian..." etc. Skin colour or part of the world doesn't change it. Ever met a south Asian-ancestry Brit? They're not out there talking like a call centre operator from New Delhi and eating curry every day, they're eating at Nandos and calling each other "bruv" and the like.

This is how all "peoples" form. Do you think there just happened to be 143 million people defining themselves as "Russian" living across this massive landmass? No - the Russian empire conquered a massive diverse range of people, and then assimilated them to be "Russians", through education, intermarriage, etc. At least in the US people are living there willingly and had a choice in the matter.

It's like this everywhere. Do you think there just happened to be a people called "The English"? No, there were Gaelic peoples there, then Romans, then Angles and Saxons, then vikings, and on and on. Flows of people are the nature of history, both during wartime and peacetime. I'm as white as they come, but genetic tests show a tiny bit of African ancestry - from a percentage basis, maybe back into the 1600-1700s - because hey, there were "Moors" in Europe then too. "Most" genetics in Iceland sees Y chromosomes *mainly* showing Scandinavian roots and mitochondria *mainly* showing British isles roots, but there's also, for example, a not insignificant bit of Greenlandic genetics here.

Even the most isolated places in the world see a free flow of genetics. Tristan da Cunha is considered the most remote settlement on Earth, with its 238 people. Boats only arrive once every few months, and to visit you have to get special permission from the Island Council. There were 7 surnames on the island, from the island's original male settlers. This expanded to 10 in the 1960s after some islanders intermarried during an evacuation due to the island's volcano. But genetics show the presence of an Eastern European ancestor from the early 1900s, possibly from a Russian sailing ship. Even on the most remote place on Earth, genetic flow exists - and it does not harm a damned thing, and is in fact, very much a good thing.

And culture flows even easier than genetics. Culture is constantly changing, radically. Even the things that ultraconservatives see as timeless and want to force society back to aren't nearly as timeless as they think. Think, for example, of the idea of the "housewife", a woman who stays at home and raises the kids while the husband goes out to work. That's a Victorian invention that only became the "norm" for a few decades in the post-WWII period. Traditionally (after the hunter-gatherer phase, and the agrarian phase), the standard family unit was the family business. People work from home, and everyone - husband, wife, children - all work on different aspects of the business. Maybe the husband is a fisherman and the wife a fishmongerer. Maybe it's a family of cobblers, and the husband cuts the leather pieces while his wife stitches them. Etc. But everyone worked. In comes the Industrial Revolution. Now most everyone still works, but they're working out of the house. The home becomes a refuge, separate from the workplace. An increasing (though small) percentage of the population is starting to gain a comfortable income and gain airs of nobility. The notion of "separate spheres" arises, with the workplace being "the man's sphere" and the home being "the woman's sphere", and it became an aspirational goal to have a wife at home who doesn't have to work, a status symbol of wealth. Very few people actually lived like this - most people still needed to work. It wasn't until the post-WWII boom that this actually became any sort of "norm" in society, where it was the status for most adult women and those who had to work were looked down on for it. And it was a status that most women found they hated, which is what led to the later liberation movement.

Genetics shift. Culture shifts. And people are not their ancestors. Societies are fluid things, where genes flow and a marketplace of ideas works not based on ancestry, but what people enjoy. Focus on actually competing in the marketplace of ideas. If what you define as your "culture" is so great, convince people that it is. "Being a racist bigot" is, I hate to break it to you, not a good way to accomplish that. It's always the most cringeworthy inbred yokels out there drawling "The WHITE RACE is the SUPERIOR RACE!".

Back when "Broadcom" meant "Henry Nicholas doing all the drugs" it was at least crooked in an entertaining sort of way.

After Avago took over and used them as a namesake and skin suit it was all downhill.

Is there some aspect of this grinder that anyone thinks is actually encouraging us to toss more meat into it?

It's really not the same thing. See my other post https://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=23961458&cid=66085502

I don't know how it will work with all the different firewalling options, etc., with Linux, but that's what makes it special for macOS (which comes with lsof, tcpdump, etc.)

It's really nice software. You don't just get a visualization of current connections, you can get popup of new notifications AND the option to set up incoming/outgoing rules. Something like "Firefox is attempting to access slashdot.org port 443:

Allow Once
Allow Firefox to connect to slashdot.org port 443 any time
Allow Firefox to connect to any server port 443 any time
Allow Firefox to connect to any server, any port any time
Deny Firefox all connections

When I got my first Mac laptop, around 2004, Little Snitch was one of the first pieces of software I bought. One of the nice things about the Mac at the time (and historically through OS 7 / 8 / 9 days) was there was a very strong small developer writing shareware culture. That's disappeared a bit more recently (in large part due to the rise of open source, Linux ecosystems, and so forth), but Little Snitch is still great. Another example, Adium remains one of the best chat clients I've ever used. BBEdit is very solid text editor that goes back to 1992! Etc.

So it about 200k for each farmer ... in theory, as 90% of that will go to lawyers.

Which import tariff actually prohibits importing German gear? No idea, are European/German or Japanese tractors "not good enough"?

Unix (that includes Linux and obviously Macs) have a command called "lsof".
"ls" is short for list and "of" is for "open files. List open files.

A port is considered a file, and depending how the device tree mapping to names works, they are also in the device tree.

The output might be overwhelming, but if you only want to see open ports and do not care about extra firewall features and user interaction, then lsof might be enough, especially considering the many command line options.
