not to mention being able to rotate it which portrait feels better with code and nice as a secondary dedicated.

it is good for basic edits like configuration files.

vim does just as well and has a lot more functionality universally.

probably the difference is we have systems in place. religion and other social structures. as systems go so can machines have systems but is less interpretive for better or worse.

it is so easy to spoof and really does not matter in usage except desktop/mobile. there are so many analytics out side that that it is indeed antiquated.

it is probably paranoia but not improbable. they have direct control of these companies and can totally do this. others like the US would have to go less direct routes for these things.

interestingly you had head shops(paraphernalia) before legalization. everyone knew what they where for but nothing illegal until it was used for that specifically. you can even buy crack pipes in some of the seedier neighborhood stores.

there was a mentality mostly from the depression era where it kind of got to hording in the when there was excess that mentality never changed much for that generation.

it is all measured its the extremes that are bad and really applies to anything.

i know right looks more like a vehicle. we sit in a car and operate it but do not call it a exoskeleton.

i think a true exoskeleton is something that accentuates our form to improve how we can physically do something.

i think alien(the movie) has a good image of a exoskeleton basically a fork truck in effect that can move things though.

reshie — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:08:07 +0000

in other words science is a method of inquiry.

the problem is most people do not have the expertise and/or time it takes; some trust in so called experts is ok to a degree.

well at least it does not overwrite it it could possibly be recovered. a backup trash folder is a good idea for those things aliases are great for a lot of things including larger scripts that would probably be in a separate file.

shred or similar functions do overwrite files.

true but..

it is fear of uncertainty. not knowing how to deal with something or even assess because you don't know the problem.

there is big business in people with answers as well con men.

seems more about doxing and in this case large scale.

being able to attach identities to numbers.

as for brut forcing I'm sure they have limited attempts among other measures.

not only interpretations of it but those writing it.

look at archeology and how we interpret those from a those who wrote something down. there is of course other interpretations from other indications of more direct evidence but a lot of times we do not get those in conjunction with written records.
