Those are only the ones that could afford to get there; rafts of those who can’t, are being forced to give birth in a state that won’t support them.

Sanity reigns north of the US. Too bad trickle down doesn’t work, in any form.

Interesting, as an RA patient this article gives me hope new methods of dealing with inflammatory processes may be on the horizon soon.

Would also like to know more, started there after fleeing u/spez’s meltdown.

Ooo…a brand new Triumvirate of Terror, one that could go worldwide. All hail our new AI Overlords! /s

With the support of government, don’t forget. Legislators have portfolios, needing constant attention.

Actually, politicians give up public privacy under the fiction of helping children, repeatedly.

I cringe every time “online” and “children” are uttered in the same breath.

“Now we can shpiff up what already shoulda been there”. ~ u/spez

Mmm…non-US Feds, too bad.

Traversing web and ftp sites by simple, progressive, suffix removal from the address. Sometimes very interesting what showed up that way. Security was spotty, an afterthought often.

TL;DR?

Approachable, detailed article touching on just about every major aspect of the mainframe; history, hardware, functions, relevance and resilience.

Will be sharing with my more technically inclined friends.

“Brighter than a 30 watt lightbulb.”, yep, have to agree.

This is the poster child for enshittification; RIP bluebird, we salute what you were.

Sorry, that sounds like a version of trickle down economics, which we know never did.

Really?

Commercially insured here.

I have to jump thru hoops, wait, and pay a significantly higher out of pocket for any imaging outside of X-rays. Due to my employer, I am locked into a single provider. Sure, I can (and do) have supplementary insurance, but FFS why is that even necessary?

The answer to all of the above, IMO?

Corporate greed, enabled by government intervention.

The Affordable Care Act isn’t our real problem, we can lay that at the feet of Richard Nixon .

Just because the device says “smart”, doesn’t mean the OEM was.

Ooo… thanks!

The only window management software I run is Windowmizer, which both shows my age and disdain for Job’s design prejudices. I used Unsanity’s haxie before that.

My main’s on X.13.06, so that won’t be an issue, will give them a whirl. 👍🏻

Again, thanks for the info!

Didn’t we have a pandemic and everything was delivered?

Sadly, if history is any guide, extraction will ultimately be authorized over any environmental/ecological objections and with as little research done as possible.

If you’re the author of the linked article, the beginning of the fifth paragraph may need an edit:

“Far more damaging, however, were the production and publication days that accompanied the pandemic.”

Should that be delays?
