It's beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.

They'll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn't worth it and (b) it's just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government's existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.

Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…

I suppose these days it's cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices

Mostly everyone who says taking someone else's property is okay if you feel they deserve it

I don't think that's ok. Humans need their space, man.

If you don't see a huge commie bent here, then I would assume it's because you are a commie or are commie-adjacent

I see a moderate and a left bent here. Both of those I vibe with, but the left isn't synonymous with communism or even marxism.

And there's also idealism, of course - there's plenty of that everywhere on the Internet.

My view of the left is that they want an infra that's more aligned with the EU or Scandanavia.

That's definitely not communism. NK is communist, and there are very few people who want NK.

Man, they're attacking telescopes now. What a shitshow

100% agree. It flags infractions, you have people verify what was being flagged, due course follows.

Where is the "commie garbage"?

People here are making valid complaints about the state of society.

Most people know that communism isn't the answer.

WinRAR was what I used in the 2000s. Around 2011, 7-zip was my goto. I haven't looked back since.

I wasn't aware of pea-zip until this thread

Be patient. It takes time to "get going".

If you know how to program, you're in a good spot. If you don't know how to program, start with fundamentals.

SICP is good. It's Lisp. You'll probably never write a line of Lisp professionally, but it will help shape how you reason about solving problems.

Develop some solid fundamentals.

No, it isn't fine.

And no, I don't think I'm "very smart".

but if it starts to be used to censor information and rate humans, that's the line.

That line has already been crossed. Since it's already been crossed, it's inevitable that this will be used in that way.
