Sure for physical things that need prototypes and materials. That is not a thing with software.

Software and business method patents have always been bullshit.

Patent the machine, not how you use it. Software is just instructions to a machine.

Which goes against the do one thing and do it well philosophy that helps to keep things stable and secure.

I’m doing my part

I think a birthday field in Pam or passwd would be fine. It’d be cool to have a happy birthday motd on login.

But it doesn’t belong in what should be an init system. Much of the scope of systemd beyond an init system is the real issue. Resolved for example. Fuck poettering.

“For the children” tech laws should all be abolished. Why should I be burdened because you can’t be bothered to raise your own damned kids properly?

If you can’t find malcode, goatse is also a good QR code option.

Not really.

None of that is a flex. ICQ is the same shit from the endless September. Personally I used to read Usenet on a mainframe, and thought it was cool we could see weather maps with gopher. I don’t think any of this makes me cool at all. Just that I was nerdy and liked the escape technology used to be when the signal to noise was good.

TBF the current administration is trying really hard to bring back the plague.

Mom died 2 years ago. Still get these at work. I take no offense.

It’s a shame webos got bought and turned into a tv os. It would shine on modern hardware and was ‘rooted’ out of the box.

Specifically in Linux you can just use iperf assuming you have a box on the other end.

You both make good points, but prevention is better than de-escalation or alerting. Being known as protected is a preventative measure.

Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.

They are armed. You should be too. And wear protective gear. They’ve permanently blinded people on purpose. They’ve already executed people in the street. Notice they aren’t near anyplace where bpp is active.

An alarm won’t stop a break in, and a whistle won’t stop these goons from harming you.
