- I think that the point is that they volunteered to help murder Ukrainians. Some think they are doing work behind the lines to facilitate mass murder. Others know that they are going to actually participate in the murders but have unrealistic ideas about their chances or circumstances.
- How do they work find and keep a job keep up with their kids school and keep government benefits.
It doesn't matter that you could do those things before the internet the normal and often only or only practical flow involves the net.
Counter offer we keep letting people manage their own kids' shit and they can control access to the degree they deem appropriate
- Define controlled and define appropriate in a fashion that almost everyone can agree on which is in line with the constitution and enforceable.
You can't.
- No they actually didn't. A lot of hate groups pushing violent and hateful rhetoric got called out by individuals and non-profits.
- If you walk out and it goes to court you will surely lose. You may have started with the right to get it for nothing but you cannot realize that right by force. Self-help is almost always illegal in any case of disagreement between parties.
- The first subject of the article literally had has mom warn him of the dangers and about half of Kenyans his age and demographics use the internet. Many of them said hell no to this posting.

The rest are not completely uninformed nor stupid. News does still tend to trickle out over 11 years. They could also have insisted on someone to read what they are signing or refused the job change when they found out they would be murdering people even if it meant rotting in prison. Instead he said.
"Mum, the job we were told we came to do has been changed, but even this one is not bad"
- I have zero sympathy for anyone who agreeded to travel to a war zone.
Every corpse advances the cause of a just end to the war. If they want to live they ought to surrender.
- Does the ability to verbally detect gotchas in short conversations dealing only with text on a screen or white board really map to stronger candidates?
In actual situations you have documentation, editor, tooling, tests, and are a tad less distracted than when dealing with a job interview and all the attendant stress. Isn't the fact that he actually produces quality code in real life a stronger signal of quality?
- BTC almost exclusively enables crime. It's fundamentally too bad at basically everything to replace any part of the real economy. It is almost exclusively used for crime, admittedly fun technological exploration, and gambling on a valuation based not on actual net utility in current context but on perception of future utility that will probably never materialize.
Web 2.0 based on boring old primitives like ad dollars and banks actually funds things that in real life provide ultimately virtually all the actual utility obtained by the world from software.
You said
> web 2.0 cloud cannot compete with that cost structure and permissionless nature
It appears to me that that is just incorrect on its face because web 2.0 cloud actually DOES compete insofar as its literally everywhere as we speak and web 3.0 is a buzzword from 2014 that has yet to achieve actual meaning.
To rephrase do you feel it is accurate to say that something that represents basically all the real value obtained by network computers doesn't competes with something that provides? What again?
- Isn't basically virtually 100% of the money that isn't crime adjacent web 2.0 implying it can compete?
- They didn't actually buy up the finsished product they actually require. Arguably they raised the price of an input they cannot immediately use hurting themselves by raising the price for what they do actually use in order not to serve a need but to hurt others including the 99.9% of households that use devices with RAM.
It is the malicious purpose and the clear harm to most of America that ought to provide motivation to enforce any law this is at odds with.
Pretending computing is a luxury in 2025 is nonsense as is ignoring the obviously manipulative purpose that is so clear.
- Who in developed countries doesn't buy computers and by extension ram
- Is it really gaming to get a doctors note to say a pet cat will make you happier?
- Idiots run things for a lot of reasons.
Managing people, social networking and self aggrandizement, and doing INSERT THING, are all different skills and people who only know how to do C, A and B, or even just B are well positioned to end up in charge and suck at it.
Worse at the highest levels B is so important to actual success not least of which because of the virtue of getting money from those whose only virtue is having it that it may well actually make sense to hire idiots only good at B so long as they don't hire too many like self and rot the entire org. This may happen but even as the corpse rots it may have acquired enough inertia, money, market that they are without life or virtue but still successful for a long time in spite of their stupidity.
Looking at a whole perverse assortment of cretins is likely to give one the wrong impression about what actually succeeds and if you constitute a new enterprise around lessons learned you may be surprised when it implodes.
- What AI weapons systems are in use in Ukraine?
- Define what problems you think exist please.
- X11 is still in fact maintained to a degree insofar as minimally fixing bugs.

Most of the people complaining are users who don't write any software. There is no practical difficulty in using an x11 wm at this point nor expected to be until major software not only doesn't support x11 by default but cannot be built with support for same.
Maybe it will be difficult to run X in 2030?
- I prefer it still because it makes sense for every window to be maximized at startup. Also one layout that still makes sense is 1 window taking up 100% of the horizontal space and 95% of the vertical save for a small strip for a terminal.
Instead how about we simply continue to make reasonable laws regarding behaviour and holding individual people and companies responsible when they violate the law.
Whilst we are at it we can keep content filtering for pre teens and imposed by parents and accept that teens are going to figure out how to get to the real internet at some point.
