It takes a lot longer to rebuild the town than it took to burn it down. It's sad that the consequences will take decades to fix if the course is corrected. The US has at this point suffered a lethal dose of radiation, it's dead, but doesn't know it quite yet.

Implement a critical vulnerability, have it be pointed out, insist it isn't their responsibility, refuse to fix it.

You.... can just install the steam client on just about any Linux distro?

Now I feel bad. I was being facetious.

Hm. I was thinking of the problem in terms of "what is", and not so much "what it looks like". SG-1 is a good example, where the argument is that there is no actual magic. Its "sufficiently advanced = looks like magic" not "... = magic".

I interpreted the question to consider actual existence of magic. So, I suppose it hinges on how "magic" is actually defined. Where I thought it would be some kind of forces / energy that is manipulated by will or tools. Hm... I suppose this is a lot more nuanced.

Isn't it always different things? "Magic" being a different set of rules for how the world works. Technology being the things that can be achieved given the rules. And, whether advanced technology is influenced and how, depend on those rules, lore and culture.

If for example magic is only available to some people with the ability or what not. Technology will always be available regardless.

Why do we need three different words for the same thing?

That's such a weird take, I'm not sure it's not an attempt at rage baiting.

Certain types of advertising is illegal where I'm from. In particular: political adverts of any kind, and ads that target children.

I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I've switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of "then you just have it". If anything, only FOSS can give that.

Relevant section on Wikipedia:

The government may not criminally punish immigrants based on speech that would be protected if said by a citizen.[83] On entry across borders, the government may bar non-citizens from the United States based on their speech, even if that speech would have been protected if said by a citizen.[84] Speech rules as to deportation, on the other hand, are unclear.[85] Lower courts are divided on the question, while the leading cases on the subject are from the Red Scare.

Regarding the protections against illegal searches, I think all bets are off, even for US citizens.

Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you're on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

I'm going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.

Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.

I probably wouldn't go much further than a couple of hours drive. The mindset of travelling half the world "just cuz we can" has become unpleasant.

Checks fascist handbook. Jup. Checks out.

MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial "story" thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real "hunt".

It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.

Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

That is the eventual conclusion of capitalism, the way it is currently set to play out.

The only forces that could act against it depend on the distribution of critical information.... And those are owned by the same private interests.. Soooooo. We'll see. Doesn't bode well at all.

I don't see what the big deal is. This is just a Roman roof shape.
