MHSJenkins , to World News in Putin has ‘both eyes’ on Gotland, warns Sweden’s army chief

Now we face the endless question: is this a real threat or does Sweden's military want more funding? I genuinely do not know.

When you frame it that way, I start to think yours is the more likely prediction.

MHSJenkins , to Technology in Ask HN: Can we create a new internet where search engines are irrelevant?
@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

That could work, I suppose, but I do wonder how much it would slow everything down.

I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I'd love to hear from folks who know more than me.

I mean, this particular cyberpunk dystopia isn't what I had hoped for . . .

This is my assumption, and there's a roadmap in place already.

I'm anticipating that an ad-free version will be made available on educational or commercial licenses--or to home users for a nominal monthly fee. This mirrors the model used by Hulu, Prime, et al so there's a roadmap in place for it.

I'm with you re: FOSS OS migration. Some folks will but the majority will stick with Windows because that's what they do. It amazes me how many people think that Windows and MacOS are the only possible choices.

I'm naive enough to think it would happen faster if there were more market demand, but that's likely my 1990s programming failing to adjust to the 21st century.

Granted I'm not a gamer but my Linux multi-OS desktop machine has zero problems with its nVidia GPU. YMMV, as we used to say.

@MHSJenkins@infosec.pub avatar

A complete set of security screw bits is ~20 bucks and they're far more useful than I realized until I acquired them.
