It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI

I wouldn’t, but only because I enjoy writing, even for email

You mean in a single dose? I’ll have 700mg 1000mg over three hours often

I have only heard of melatonin for jet lag and changing shift work

I don’t believe it’s good for sleep in general given those two uses are about messing with circadian cycles and that’s not going to help someone without otherwise good sleep habits

I have felt vertigo in high places in regular 3D games like Minecraft. I have to sit for VR Ghost Busters

I can’t imagine how immersed I’ll be in more immersive VR

I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.

We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”

And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”

I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”

You can keep secrets from the future. Future decryption won’t help government see what you did in the now, the logs don’t store the encrypted payload, only the end points and the user/ip

By telomere length humans should live to about 120, but we don’t. There are other problems to solve before telomeres matter

Your ISP sees the connection to news.usenetserver.com and if they cared could get a court order to get your data from them. They can compel you to release your username and password.

You also need to protect yourself against future law and enforcement

I know that government prosecutions for fraud against government use IP addresses

The IP address identifies the company or home the fraud was done from, the account the money went to identifies the individual

If breaking the law and able to afford to make it difficult for prosecutors, it’s probably best to make it difficult for the prosecutors, we may have an activist pro copyright holder government in future and logs are forever (or 5 years)

It seems trivial for the US government to tie data into TOR to data out. If you’re hiding things that government is willing to spend effort seeking, it’s not safe.

Is your home machine, your phone, better protected than the VPN servers? I bet you’re not as good at IT security as the IT security staff VPN companies hire

If your threat model includes nation state actors, you’re best off not using networked computers

As much as people hate Musk, Tesla is unusual in that they allow you to opt out of all connectivity. Get no updates, send no video, audio, or data to the company

I miss CRT monitors in text mode with the field in “idle CRT screen” black and the text in cyan

Dark mode tries, but always goes for maximum contrast

I play freeciv (an open source civ 3.5 clone) much more often than civ 5 which I bought. I’ll agree with you. Newer civ isn’t all that attractive.

So complain to the developers that make mastodon work that way. Complaining here is worse than useless, no one here can do anything about it

I started using YouTube back when it was new. When the default view was the videos from the channels you subscribed to, and I have kept that pattern.

It seems to work, except for the few weeks after a holiday I empty my YouTube, nebula, and podcast feeds early each day

As

That looks like an oddly capitalised “as”

That really gives the reason it’s acceptable to use apostrophes when pluralising that sort of case

Tesla sticker ranges are optimistic. You can achieve them if you drive slowly, but not at highway speed

8 hours

More like 3 days. A Tesla 3 standard range takes 10 hours on 240V @15A

Cybertrucks have big batteries
