RCMP Commissioner regrets being caught overseeing an Indigenous spying program that spanned over a decade.

Hand it to them personally at the end of their set. It gives you the opportunity to thank them in person and explain the value of your “tip”.

If you compare it to tap water, it is absurdity expensive.

The word “spoofing” comes to mind…

I have it and I use it daily and I absolutely hate it. The latest MacOS Tahoe is an abomination.

It’s unstable, it sleeps monitors connected over USB-C while in use, Bluetooth audio pairing randomly doesn’t work, the virtualisation engine is crash prone, X11 integration magically stopped working a year ago and nobody seems to care.

Permissions are impenetrable, sshfs and fuse requires a kernel module and repeated reboots and permissions to be enabled.

I’m forced to have an OS update, requiring a reboot, to support a new model that I’m not running.

There’s no native package manager so applications just throw their shit all over the filesystem and the alternatives, Homebrew, Anaconda and MacPorts each have system breaking problems.

So … no. It absolutely sucks.

And here’s the kicker, it’s still better than Microsoft Windows.

Given the history of A/UX, I’d be surprised if System V didn’t have an oar in the water too.

Nice idea, but the monopoly laws already tried to address this phenomenon and companies just restructured to avoid them.

In your scenario, a company just has to split their market in half, rename the product for half their customers, and they’re no longer holding 50% of the market.

14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?

At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.

Yes.

However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.

I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

You fail to understand that the USSR ceased to exist. What remains is run by a despot, regardless of your feelings or intent.

… and both countries are run by despots.

You mean like this:

Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that.

Regardless of the account, anonymous or not, I assume that my identity will be revealed and post accordingly. I’ve been doing so since I first posted on the internet in 1990.

Not for nothing, the same is true for email and any other form of (electronic) communication.

Do I make mistakes? Absolutely! Have I regretted making a post or comment? Over the years perhaps less than a dozen times, that, or I’m getting old and feeble minded.

I try to make my contributions positive and supportive, sometimes I even manage to get the balance right between my odd sense humour and misunderstanding promulgated by online communication with strangers.
