Thanks. OPs should do that anyhow.

It stands to reason that attacking a few servers won’t stop all of Russia’s hybrid warfare, but it also stands to reason that there is some effect.

In any case, I hope Ukraine continues to succesfully attack (hopefully without civilian casualties) Russian infrastructure. We all benefit from that.

Thanks for sharing.

Re your first quote:

I wish (these) men would talk about their sexuality a bit more openly. The need for relief. The still widespread tabooing of masturbation, esp. when a woman is present. I believe it would help them understand that what they’re doing is wrong - while relief is still possible.

Thanks, will fix. FWIW, it works as is was in Piefed.

Victim blaming. I have seen it happening.

What adult is going to respond that way to a kid?

Not me, but I’m seeing it almost daily. Anything they think even has a whiff of imposing their will on their child they skirt.

Having a few percent of unemployed people doesn’t really give employers power.

If you see “employers” as a class of a system then yes it does. Things would be very different if there was always a slight draft in the other direction, esp wrt OP’s question.

Amen to that last sentence.

“The Arrogance of Youth” I often think; I find it soothing because it means that they will learn eventually. But it’s also ageist. And it’s not always that anyhow, people of any age can be incredibly resistant to seeing reality and reflecting on it.

You’re not wrong but what I wrote applies to the two EU countries I call my home as much as it applies to OP’s situation which I guess is the USA.

In other words: I perfectly recognize and also advocate that things are better in some “capitalist” countries than in others, but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect.

And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

I didn’t ignore it though. I answered - from my pov.

This is the only bit that hints at the direction you wanted this to go - and you answered it yourself:

But on the Internet, where it’s just-language? Forget it. Howling solipsists all the way down.

A sign of a good capitalism is that you always have a few percent of jobless people. This establishes the power of employers over workers. doG forbid it should ever be the other way round, even by a 0.1%!

That’s why you have to bend over backwards to get a job, not your prospective employer.

the networks themselves

What do you mean exactly? The Internet (governed mostly by US “non-profits” that are happy to eat MAGA balls)? Its physical infrastructure?

That so reflects the minds of kids.

Normal adult (not Death): “Yo kid. Better tie your shoelaces” - Kid: “Do I have to?” - Adult: “Well no, but…” - Kid: (already gone)

You asked a question with something specific in mind, but that isn’t actually reflected in the question. Well, in the very last sentence it is.

I answered a different aspect of the question.

Effective communication?

All forms of communication have advantages and disadvantages. I’m old enough to still have written actual letters to lovers and friends. There’s something to be said for collecting your thoughts - sometimes for days - and putting them on paper in concentrated form.

All in all I think the dangers of misunderstanding each other are just as big as with any other form.
Unless you had some other type of effectiveness in mind.

I recently watched the much newer animated remake. While I think it was poorly written, it’s faithful to the original characters.

Morticia’s flowing, almost crawling black dress.
Gomez’ amiable sleaziness.

I can’t think of a single interview I’ve seen in my life that comes close to it in any way. Surely there are at least some

Have you watched any MAGA interview? I’m sure you’ll find many members of the brainworm posse living up to degenerate royalty in every way, even surpassing it.

Not sure about today, but historically I’m sure Katharina Nocun would disagree.

The headline makes it sound as if this was a new development, or as if that’s about all the tracking Amazon does. Neither is true.
Several people in the past decade have investigated what exactly Amazon has on you by asking for their private data.

That said, this really could be news to Verge readers, esp. those that are unable to look for news sources outside the USA’s borders.

tl;dr: it’s about the timezone database (edit: among other projects) which is “maintained by a group of volunteers. Originally founded by Arthur David Olson, the project is now led by Paul Eggert and Tim Parenti.”

I know that this usually comes down to one person doing a lion’s share of the work. This applies to so many FOSS pojects, especially when their impact bleeds over into the non-FOSS world (and by now I think we can include Android in that). Yet the world of FOSS has never broken down even when one of these "one person"s quits. We know. But it might be scawy for people who live in proprietary la-la-land.

Don’t get me wrong, this is important. But I find the article with all its dark javascript magic a little hyperbolic, sensationalist. Even the “plain” reading page is. Gigantic headers, large numbers etc.

I will also add that the tz database isn’t huge, and it isn’t prone to constant change. It makes for great numbers but the whole issue is pretty pedestrian if you look a little closer.

How many parts of closed systems that many people rely on are maintained by only 1 person (who would promptly be replaced by corporate if they quit)? I guess we just don’t have so much data on that because - surprise - they’re not Open.

I could’ve written a similar article, but I would have written it differently.

edit: I stand corrected on the crossed-out bit.
I’ll also state very clearly that I agree with the topic, just not the way it is presented.
And that I was fully aware that this is not only about the TZ databse when I wrote this.
