Glad to hear about the crackdown. Will be happy when the literally tens of millions who flooded into America illegally are kicked out, along with all their relatives and offspring.
With the successful moon landings, we solved all of the fundamental challenges involved in launching humans into orbit and bringing them back safely.
No we didn't. People lost their lives back then, and people lost their lives afterwards.
I know it bruises the pie-in-the-sky techno-utopia-delusionists, but sending wetware into space (except maybe to LEO) is a bad idea, a huge waste of resources, and an inexcusable risk to precious human life.
I see it the other way around. You are dangerously - catastrophically - semi rational. Caring about some free speech right but then not wanting to protect your homeland - something which leads to deprivation, injury, and even death of citizens - not to mention other things like environmental damage - is pathological. You are exemplifying perfectly that pathology that is afflicting the West, causing it to injure itself. No doubt you live an insularized life free from having to experience the consequences of the "humanitarianism" which you must claim to so strongly ascribe to. As long as it's someone else's blood that is spilled you can continue being a good liberal.
It's funny because you're calling Judge Moore's statement dog whistling is itself a straw dog attack. You accuse him of making a loaded statement, something which cannot ever really be refuted, so you have the perfect attack against him. I think that's how mainstream media also plays it's constant mind games on people by claiming that something is *really* something else. Attacks like that are based on belief and cannot be refuted because at that point relying upon the actual meaning of words themselves has been abandoned. In all, I think it's complete BS.
Fortunately people are now fully aware of how words become weaponized and used at attack vectors against rational thinking and factual reality.
I suspect this is blowback for the pro OSS side being too zealous and to some extent unreasonable. For example refusing to allow any apps running under Wine or Crossover.
If that's the case, then they deserve it because they were not qualified to be responsible for the systems.
How many times have you written a journal entry late at night at the end of your day, but it's past midnight already and so you have the conundrum of writing things like "today I..." or else "yesterday I...".
Writing "yesterday I..." at say 01:00 just seems stupid. It is, for all intents and purposes, the same day. It is still today.
Anyone who has stayed up until dawn has also realized that sometime around 04:00 or later it really does feel like a new day. The beginning of the new day should occur at a time before either astronomical or nautical twilight, but not too much before. Maybe one logical way to define it would be the point of astronomical twilight on solstice at some reference location.
It's also a mistake to have 00:00 set to midnight. Midnight doesn't seem like the end/start of a day. Midnight "feels" like late night of the same day. That is reason enough to have ordination of a day's hours not reset at midnight.
04:00 or 05:00 are much more logical choices for the start of the day (thus setting 00:00 to be either one of them).
I think setting 00:00 to what actually constitutes the reasonable start of a day matters. For example, if 00:00 is set to 04:00 and you start work at what is now 08:00, that would be 04:00. That gives you a reasonable understanding that you start work 4 hours into the new day. When you get off work at what is now 17:00 it would be 13:00. That also gives you a reasonable understanding that you have 11 more hours left in your day.
Most people don't like when DST ends, not when it is in effect. We don't like the loss of daylight in the evenings in Winter. It gets dark too quickly. People come come from work and it's already dark and they have no daylight time left to enjoy on their own.
So if DST is abandoned, then clocks should be permanently adjusted forward one hour. Of course that would never happen because standard time zones are offset from UTC.
So maybe the best solution would be to extend DST to cover the entire year.
This makes me think of the movie "Hypernormalization" which is based on a faulty premise but which brings up the concept of "managed outcomes": Basically society falling apart and unmanageable but they just do minimal things to keep things from getting too extreme.
Hence more and more criminals are being released on the streets. People are increasingly victimized by crimes committed by people who should never have been out of prison, and this is considered an acceptable consequence to the powers that be. Most people go along with or ignore it until they become a victim.
They want to maintain an illusion that things are planned, that our society is based on rules, but increasingly politicians - particular the most "progressive" ones - see their jobs as being rule-breakers-in-chief. So rule of law - one of the hallmarks of civil society - is on it's way out.
The politicians view the working classes they are supposed to represent the same way as companies like Facebook view their "users". The users are the product that gets sold. The electorate is what the politicians sell out to various moneyed interests in our very corrupt plutocracy.
Democratic big-city political machines which are well-extended into the state and federal levels use social justice issues to gain support but the real dirty stuff they do is always behind-the-scenes.
The majority of both parties are beholden to the Chambers of Commerce which are happy to sell Americans out and are pro open-borders, mass immigration, happy to see the working class undercut and wiped out to increase their profits.
No it's not tokenization, it autofills the card info along with name, phone, address, etc. when you make a payment on a site.
But I even use it to store non-autofill information for things such as insurance accounts, etc. because it has fields to store things and you can create custom fields. I also have one form fill profile set up to autofill the info required when corresponding with elected representatives.
This story is not news. I've stored my credit cards along with information for other important accounts in Lastpass for a long time using it's "form fills" feature. And, better than storing it in a browser, it is available across all browsers I use on all devices as well as with the standalone app.
In addition to bank accounts it's very convenient to store things like your AAA account info, insurance accounts, etc. This way it's always readily available to you on any device.
I agree. I also wonder what this religious claim was about. I mean what have these particular people who wanted to block it ever contributed to greater human knowledge of the Cosmos?? Exactly shit? That's what I thought. How then can they have any legitimacy stopping a project as significant as this?
I'm familiar with this research. But have you any evidence of an actual breach incident where data was stolen?
Also, do you expect that no technology will ever have some form of potential vulnerability? It's true that the ultimate security is simply to have a system that cannot be used. If something is so inconvenient or cumbersome to users it will never be used.. But we live in a real world where there are risks and drawbacks. As far as I can ascertain, the benefit of using Lastpass vastly exceeds the drawback in comparison with every other system.
I cannot argue the details with you about browser extension security or isolation from possible attack vectors, however I will say that many, many people have used Lastpass for a long time and there have never to my knowledge been any compromises.
The second point I want to make is that what makes the password manager useful, it's primary reason for existence, is the fact that it works seamlessly across a desktop app and multiple web browsers. Yes you can use Chrome or Firefox's own password saving features and these may even sync with other instances of the same browsers, but still you do not get seamless synchronization across ALL devices. The primary thing about a password manager is that it will be used which means it needs to be available for all instances of use.
Ideally Lastpass would have a feature to locate it's data store on a location of your choice - such as your own Nextcloud instance - but remember that that would also present a risk because now you have to worry about the security of your data store - something that the company Lastpass takes care of on their own which is partially what they get paid to do.

What is extremist? Another shit word that is deliberately indeterminate.
Not wanting your country - your homeland - invaded by third-world savages is not extremist: It's extremely natural and healthy.

...and it's 01:03 right now...
Ok just replying to this because the timestamp above was incorrectly set to 02:01.

Peak year of baby boomer power will be 2029.
Which baby boom are you talking about? Most baby-boomers are around 65-70 right now. They will be dead by 2029.

America is in a dark time. Very dark.
Same thing happened with the Oakland-SF Bay Bridge. Steel was not tested as should have been required and turned out to be vulnerable to sea water.

"unscheduled rapid disassembly" love it.
seeing the final two successful landings is really poignant after seeing all the failures.

Keepass doesn't have web browser plugins which account for 99% of the use cases of Lastpass.
