<p>Corporations get up to so many rotten things, most of which are entirely legal, but shouldn't be.  Mozilla Corporation thanks you for the free ball-washing & PR work.  If you reach out to their non-profit parent, you may even be able to deduct this on your taxes.</p>

<p>Any story that rests on the disaster that was Wilhelm II, but does not make a single reference to the “Eulenberg Affair” (i.e. elite closetgay club), is an utter waste of time.<p>The elites in the gayclub had many ties — personal and/or blood — to Britain, and pushed Wilhelm toward moderation in his foreign policy.  Once the scandal hit the papers, gayclub dissolved, leaving (forcing, even) Wilhelm II entirely to the counsel of his generals.<p>By “forcing,” I mean the fellow elites in gayclub were widely known to hold pro-Britain sentiments, so Wilhelm was somewhat forced into a 180 to not go down with them in the court of public opinion.<p>In some small way, WWI was a “beard.”</p>

<p>Altman and Amodei are both a) nasty pieces of work, b) <i>bona fide</i> jews of matrilineal descent, & c) treat damn near everyone as "outsiders" (i.e. <i>goyim</i>), so use of the word <i>goyim</i> is a component of the truth.  You are criticizing and policing the truth.  In the short-run, truth can be buried.  In the long-run, it always wins.  So keep shoveling.  We can wait.</p>

<p>Exactly this.  They are slowly turning the terminal into a web browser, just for attention.  We already have web browsers.  If you want something at the midpoint, make it, but please don’t call it a terminal & destroy one of the few non-trojan-horse standards that we have left.</p>

<p>Laptop/desktop wattage varies with processor and peripheral load.  Unless you are pushing 10gbit and leaving the screen on 24x7, even an old box will be mostly in an idle state, with actual draw well below 30W.<p>Even if that were not the case, paying an extra $2.50 / mo to not do ghetto fabulous bs with rpi and vlans seems like money well spent to me.</p>

<p>If you know your platform, it is set-it-and-forget-it.  I use CLI OpenBSD as a router, and it has been far less trouble than any of the ready-made GUI ones I have ever used.<p>The ready-mades are brutally under-powered, have snowflake UIs that have to be re-learned on each revision, and have very short firmware update windows, so have to be replaced (and the UI re-learned) every few years.  While with my OpenBSD thing, it's just `sysupgrade` then `pkg_add -u` -- for almost a decade now.<p>But yeah, if you're just copy-pasting without understanding, OPNSense is far better.</p>

  it is very simple—i will compare male to female with female to male

  with greater molecular control over development we are increasingly capable of producing novel phenotypes—
  more feminine men, by blocking testosterone receptors (or castration) and, at the same time, increasing estrogen
  production—the one bocks male features, the second encourages female features

  more masculine women—heavy testosterone dosage—incredible external effects, heavily bearded men, you
  would never guess they had a female bone in their body

  first kind—male -> female is 4 times more frequent than female -> male

  the first is attractive—he is a woman with a cock, so that if your fantasy is to suck a man's dick, otherwise you
  are completely heterosexual, it would be much nicer if the rest of the organism is female, then you get the best of
  both worlds

  so many transsexual women are very attractive and easily make money which in turn they assert promotes their
  prostitution since they have to pay hefty fees for injections every week, but they are sexually happy,--once you
  have reached manhood even castration does not prevent the sensation of organism

  contrast the poor female to male versions, they are unhappy and lonely—they are men with mum-pums, the
  worst of both worlds

  if you like smelly masculine men, you want that hard cock that comes with the show—you do not want one of
  nature's more complex and variable structures, the pum-pum—that is an acquired tasted—and not with a man

  there are 100's of female Trans videos and websites, i have never seen a male one

  BTW we are now pushing the intervention earlier--so you notice your 3-year old son has trans tendencies, so
  now you intervene with hormones—i would be frightened to do that—but who knows ?</code></pre></p>

<p>Not to hold the commercial insurers' balls here, but if I were a doctor, I'd probably demand more from them.  The patient age distribution is not uniform.  Most patients are going to be old.  If medicare gives me peanuts, I just have to deal with it, for if I don't accept whatever crumbs medicare sends my way, I no longer have a practice.  If a private insurer tries to throw me peanuts -- especially when that insurer's customers only make up a percent or two of my practice -- I can easily tell them where to shove those peanuts, so they had better pay well.</p>

<p>I hate this too, but I would distinguish between the terminal and the shell.  For most of us on Linux or OSX, they might as well be one and the same, but formally speaking, they are still separate.  There are many places where VT terms are deployed -- especially in embedded -- where there is no shell, and thus no security issue.</p>

<p>That's the point.  The hardware stopped at a certain point, which has gifted us with a <i>de-facto</i> standard.

<p>This is barbarianism.  This is Babel.  Too many dunces trying to turn VT220 into Google Chrome.  The long-term effect: the ruination of terminals.  You can already see it.  Try to run newer terminal apps on classic hardware terminals.  Most of the time, you just get garbage, since nobody seems to bother to even check termcap anymore.  They just directly shit out whatever bleeding-edge escapes that vte/iterm2/ghostty or other barbarianisms support as of the last five minutes.<p>If you want something half-way between VT220 and Google Chrome, please be original and make something new, rather than wiping your butt on a standard that is still somewhat functioning.</p>
