Not only can you say it, you can get temperate responses and arguments on the subject and not the person. Sure, we have to deal with some absolutists like on .mil, but after a few weeks of blocking the bad actors, this is a really refreshing environment.

Edit: and to OP on .ml, that wasn’t against you. Be sure to search around for areas that interest you, it can be sparse but there are some real gems here.

If Lemmy could up its porn game, reddit would just be bots saying catchy things to each other.

I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.

Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Trump body pillow.

What if you wanted to program your toasting levels on your smart toaster, but didn’t want to cross the kitchen?

Inaction that causes a harm is an action. Say for example you’re a muslim that doesn’t vote for a female candidate because you feel she doesn’t do enough to help your people.

I just hope we never see this example in real life.

Oh man, Rush. I vaguely remember his downfall from painkiller addiction, and he was some sort of radio pundit.

He won’t be in a history book; in five years nobody will talk about him.

Hillary Clinton is bisexual, leaning lesbian, and was having an affair with Anthony Weiner’s wife.

It fits a lot of the behavior and side comments of people close to the situation, including the email scandal and his behavior at the time. But I have no real information and never expect to.

I believe in God Emperor he touched on the book mentality when Leto 2 talked with some Bene Jesserit about how machines made you treat people like machines, and that was the concept that was overthrown.

Amtrak doesn’t own the rail line in most areas, so the trains are regularly halted to allow commercial cargo to pass. I think the Zepher is last to its destination most of the time.

Is there anywhere to search for web 1.0 apps? The new info would probably be dead, but you could at least have wines through the early 2000’s in it.

There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle… when the gold loses its luster… when the throne room becomes a prison… and all that is left is a father’s love for his child.

After they feed I assume they’re a little warm…

I’d argue security through obscurity was gone by 2000, for anything that can be pinged.

Investopedia is a great resource for things like this: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deathcross.asp

I know - can the person accept hundreds of planets and that ours is less special, or do they need to change a definition (including exceptions) to keep their world view.
