Remember they aren't getting dos/win98/xp like we did.
They're getting either mac or win11, no local accounts, all cloud storage, win app store. It is not much different than android.
So to add on the list of proper things to do:
-No smart* anything.
-No tech illiteracy/finance an admin.
-Familial multi cession computer.
-FSF cert GNU/linux for the OS.

>The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever
It requires not being illiterate and that's not going away in the current context.

> The 'consultant', by way of the registry, is now greatly empowered to cut lucrative short-term deals that enables him/her to work various jobs of their choosing, all under the aegis of 'consulting'...a work-around to the status quo.

I hope they're charging them triple or more the rate they would have been making working for them.

Still volatile, but not on the level of crypto.

"Meta had argued that it can't be sued in Vermont court because neither the company nor the app design has specific ties to the state. Vermont countered that the sites' large number of teen users gives its courts jurisdiction. "

Talk about seriously disturbing. They just threw out a legal concept called jurisdiction or more specifically nexus in one blow that protects everyone from having to obey the laws of every other state on the mere basis someone might use a product or site in another state.

There is no way anyone including a large entity could even begin to comply with the 10s of millions of laws that exist in just the 10,000 + legal jurisdictions within the United States.

What this means is everyone is effectively guilty of violating millions of laws simply because they posted something that can be accessed on the internet.

This is not the first time that US courts have accepted this kind of nonsensical argument.

It's getting more and more dangerous to live within the United States when foreigners can demand and get your extradition despite that you've NEVER even stepped into their jurisdiction.

If a states wants to extradite a liberal for saying means things on the internet what's to stop them now? Or vice versa for that matter.

The answer is pretty much nothing if you completely throw the concept of jurisdiction and nexus right out the window.

Previously accepted weak arguments have been "you have a site where the domain name was registered using a company in the United States and therefore we have jurisdiction".... or "you sent your physical property into another state (DVD rentals) therefore we can tax you" (pre-US Supreme court ruling that threw out nexus for sales taxes, which is probably the biggest can of worms).

_C++ is Officially Dead (And the US Government Just Pulled the Plug)_

FTA: In a landmark report published by the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD), the federal government made an unprecedented intervention into software engineering practices. They didn’t just suggest a change; they demanded an industry-wide purge of C and C++.

Here is the exact phrasing that sent shockwaves through the defense and tech industries:

We, as a nation, have the ability — and the responsibility — to reduce the attack surface in cyberspace. Creators of software and hardware can better secure the building blocks of cyberspace by migrating away from memory-unsafe languages like C and C++, and transitioning to memory-safe programming languages. — US White House Office of the National Cyber Director

There's a balance between being social and having privacy. Privacy does not have to mean that everything you do is cloaked and no one knows who you are. It means that not everything you do, say, or think is being watched and recorded without your permission.

This post is NOT private! I am publishing for all to see (though only a small number of people will see it).

If I want to communicate details of something to a friend or a business client, I would use an encrypted messenger so that those details are not published for all to see.

Privacy is taking the steps limit the broadcast of information about your activities. No law can accomplish that. Only you.

#privacy

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I'm incorporating total introspection and control of FRUTE VM through an MCP socket so that an LLM can control and debug it. It grants structured access to all onscreen windows and ui widgets, the Scheme REPL, and can inject mouse movement, drags and clicks, as well as keystrokes. it can snapshot the screen.

the window construction already lets you add semantics to the widgets and windows. the mcp can read it. the llm doesn't have to scrape anything.

When people think Flock, they think cameras...

It's more than that. It's an entire surveillance ecosystem that listens, watches, and tracks you, built quietly in your neighborhood without consent, under the banner of 'safety.' Welcome to the panopticon.

Nextcloud is a great gateway drug to self hosting. You set it up thinking it's just a file server, but then you add Talk, and Recipes, and News, etc. And a whole new world opens up. But then after a week or two you start noticing all those add-on apps aren't very feature rich. You do a little web searching see if you can do anything, and you see all these other RSS reader apps that are way more featureful. But you think to yourself "I don't know anything about running an RSS reader". But then you think to yourself "it can't be any harder than setting up nextcloud". And before you know it you have a full arr stack feeding jellyfin. I've seen it 1,000 times. ...well, maybe more like 100 times — okay, it was one time. It was me, alright, that's how I started my homelab. You got me.
