I grew up on DOS. I am equally as comfortable doing practically everything in a terminal as I am in a graphical environment. I'm sure I'm not alone among other IT folks.
I've been known to keep text based IRC clients or text based Tetris or some shit open on another virtual terminal for shits and giggles while I'm working an a different one, flipping back and forth between tasks. Just like a user on a multitasking graphical OS would do.
Yes, I have. Searching for mirrors to get an installation package of some sort or ISOs to set up virtual machines and downloading it directly to the server, for example. Don't need USB, don't need another PC or phone, just do it all on the same server you're working on.
I think if pirates working on their bedroom PCs can release cracks and keygens only days after a game or other piece of software is out, then the government can probably keep up with app updates.
There is no need for any JS to simply POST a query to a web server, and receive an HTML response. This is to force tracking, ad, and AI bullshit on people.
Sometimes, in times of disaster or something like that, ham radio operators can keep the flow of information in and out going when Internet or phone communication lines are down.
Other than that, it's mostly just experimentation and trying to push the envelope of wireless communications. People flex on each other by making contacts further and further away, and as the other person said, doing cool shit like talking to the ISS.
Another person here, I was born 1982, and definitely know what ham radio is and have used such equipment. But I had a pretty nerdy grandfather who infected me with his tech curiosity and introduced me to it. Sometimes I still break out a little shortwave radio with SSB and hook it up to my laptop to see everyone's messages flying back and forth. I like to screw around with SDRs too (and of course I own a Flipper Zero 😉).
My 12 year old son knows next to nothing about it.
I thought conservatives were all supposed to be tough and manly and shit. My small gay ass is sitting outside all day in 0 degree weather in a boom lift installing cams on the side of office buildings and this motherfucker can't brave the cold for a couple hours or so?
Best you can do is a disassembler that will turn it into readable assembly or some kind of best-guess pseudocode, and you'll have to reconstruct it into a higher level language from there by yourself. Or learn to read assembly I guess.
C++. Do whatever the hell you want, it doesn't care. Mix paradigms all day long.
People complain about its complexity and the fact that it has everything including the kitchen sink, but that is exactly why I love it. It gives you choice.
"Thought policing" is when you coerce someone to change their thoughts against their will. It is not boycotting a service because one does not agree with the service owner's thoughts. That is not thought policing. That is a purely voluntary transaction on both sides, and that is one's right as a consumer of said service. He is not entitled to customers.
Oh they know damn well it's like that. It's just that doing anything about it will cut into their political donors' pockets. I don't believe for a second that most climate change denying politicians actually believe the shit they are spewing. The oil industry knew over half a century ago that what they were doing is wrecking the planet.

Yes, look out for the leg bombs.
