Morality is not something optional. It is question of survival and self preservation!

You will not get killed, become homeless, or imprisoned if your program crashes. But if it does something morally wrong, maybe you will...

There is a boom of luxury car-branded buildings (Mercedes-Benz Dubai..).

Branding is one of a few valuable assets those car companies have left.

Japanese prison system is quite hard on man. Compulsory work, no socialization, solitary confinement as punishment... Nobody is going to "bath you".

Of anything this just proves how privileged some groups are!

I can not install this stuff on remote servers and docker images. I would like multiple backbends to execute commands and gather informations (local, ssh, docker).

It should be installable locally, and run commands on remote machine via ssh! And via 'docker exec' commands.

But it is not heavy cognitive load. Thanks to filters and automation...

I get like 20 emails daily that get through filters, land in my inbox and need my urgent attention. I can not imagine being directly exposed to unfiltered stream of junk, and trying to fish out emails from my boss.

About 30% of deaths in cave diving are rescuers. This is very similar situation!

I actually have to make money. Deleting everything is a bit nihilistic.

And I am not going to unsubscribe from daily status reports on my servers. Those are not "absolutely needed", but it is better to have them locally in my email. Landing all incoming emails into inbox just does not scale!

> I unsubscribe to everything I do not absolutely need

I get like 500 daily messages between multiple email accounts, and this just does not scale. Some messages are needed once year, monthly, some weekly, some are fed into LLM and automation. It is very convenient to have everything organized into folders.

I really have no time, to look for some esoteric details, in some obscure report, on website that stopped working 5 years ago! I just use full text search over my local email archive!

It also keeps paper trail. If GitHub goes down, or I get fired, I still have most comments and decisions.

Without email I would start reinventing alternatives like RSS.

It does not even work with javascript enabled! Always asking for some cookies permissions, captcha, Gmail login...

Real life is not Paw Patrol! Watch latest interviews with firefighters from California!

Rescuers already put themselves into dangerous situation (operation on stormy sea). But at some point risks are too great, and there is no point to pile up more bodies. Or demand more rescuers, to rescue original rescuers...

No, their primary job is to protect borders!

They did assist. They saved many lives, but waited until it was safe for them! It is not their job to increase number of victims!

> But Lucianna is critical of the fact the Egyptian navy had to rely on volunteers. "We waited 35 hours. I don't understand how there are no divers on the Egyptian military boats."

Why should divers risk their life to save anyone?! The boat was unstable, going inside would be dangerous! Some people are adrenaline junkies, and will volunteer for such thing, but you can not expect professionals to do that!

So many wtf here. If anything this proves it is backdoored network card

1) downloading Windows exe files from Chinese forums

2) the USB storage provided by network card can still contain malware,

3) or can be accidentally booted from

4) it has universal USB controller, so can become any HID device: keyboard, mouse...
