The problem. You cannot lie to an agent, but you can remain silent. Your also taking an action with a known consequence and an action that is not allowed.

This is not mysterious. You do not have to unlock your phone if it uses a password which is something you know, but you cannot delete your data. This has always been a well known rule.

That has not ended. Russia and China have large supplies of nuclear weapons. Just like WW2, Russia has initiate a war in Europe with China, NK, and Iran as allies. China will invade TW at some point. NK may do the same to SK. All of these allies are nuclear powers except Iran which will be.

All fairly minor. Now we are leaving the post WW2 era. No one knows what is next.

Largely from 1947 to 2020.

We do to the extent you own stock.

Wealth divide is worse. We are also in a time of change geopolitically. Also in a time where powerful actors benefit from creating controversy including media, social medial, political, and geopolitical. We live in interesting times.

What is there to like. Brings very little in local jobs. Creates environmental harm and consums tons of electricity and water the bill for which is largely paid for via local residents.

The water consumption issues is probably one if the bigger issues but less talked about.

I am curious about the tax base issue? That might be the one positive if the local community does not give that away too.

Incidently crypto has similar issues.

I know HR policy where I worked was specifically that you had to be working at the next job grade level before being promoted. The downside of that, mangement sometimes abuses this. So you have to be proactive too.

It is also often better to apologize then asking for permission when striving to do the correct thing.

I think the current administration is the biggest weakeness. Impulsive unwise people. Logistics requires skills and planning which is kind of the opposite.

Why would you sign a one year contract with an lawyer? You pay these guys by the hour generally.

Sadly even Linux is a fuss. This is primarily due to full os updates needed every four years plus the changing security landscape. Then there are the hardware issues and replacement every ten years. I guess a partial alternative is a rolling release but then you have the issue of constant change.

Windows 2000 was nice. MS could have pretty much stopped there.

The thing is AI is expensive, and to be useful needs to be trustworthy. Just seems like that in the end it will need to be a pay service. Maybe quite expensive.

Keep in mind that there is some history too. Linux was released under the GPL earlier then BSD became open source. It then developed faster and got more support. So it became the popular kernel.

There are not a lot of choices. People in the US typically either use Google, Microsoft, Apple, or their ISP. Beyond that you have to go to a hosting provider or host your own. One of the most important things of a mail provider is that it support MTA-STS. There are many providers in the EU that do. Not many in the US. It is also important to pay for an email product, rather then be the product.

Regarding MTA-STS. Fastmail did not the last time I checked, you should check if that has change. Google does. Microsoft was testing it but I don’t know how that turned out. There are EU providers that do including Proton does support MTA-STS last time I checked.

I actually use Namecheap cpanel email. They don’t do MTA-STS but the do allow opportunistic transport encryption. Technically I should be able to configure incoming MTA-STS but I’ve not gotten it to work. Maybe just does not, or maybe I’ve not put enough effort in to do it.

Basically agree. AI helps but it still needs an expert to get the job done. There are so many times AI just does strange stuff and you have to know enough to know when it is just wrong. I think we all constantly encounter that.

Go back far enouph we are all not native. We are all immigrants from Africa as far as I know.

I use my own domain and cpanal email in the namecheap shared hosting plan.
