I couldn't help noticing the linked report didn't mention religion (at all?). The list of participating organizations listed one church (Renew Church and maybe one other spiritual organization).

We're more than just a body (physical) and a mind (soul), but also spirit. Spirit in the sense of conscientiousness from the divine, or a sense of awe of the foresaid.

I am much more circumspect on the civil rights movement and the top-down legislative results over the decades. There was good and bad. And the FBI telling MLK to kill yourself was heinous, just the same as to today as the FBI coercing Brian J. Cole Jr. (jan. 6 bomber suspect).

I was watching video the other day, compellingly showing Cole in a location that would completely exonerate him from the charges if verified. Not getting adequate attention.

"as a student of McLuhan, Postman would be remiss if he didn’t invite students to make the tools and narratives that thereafter make us"

That's less Mcluhan and more Foucault.

If it's any help, the company denies that Delta came up with the name, but doesn't offer an explanation to the origin of the name itself.

It's also funny how they deny that the original deal with Delta was only a temporary short term deal, but that it was always a longterm deal.

As far as I've read here before, device attestation is definitely there, it's just not being used (one of the big tech namely Apple is balking... maybe they have their own means or plans in their ecosystem).

My main reason for not using it is I'm not interested participating in a scheme where I do not own/access the private keys and being able to use them and store them the way I want to.

I'm fine with TOTP and sure, I understand it's not phishing resistant by itself.

Age verification is pretty aggressive... recently tried creating a youtube account (google) and they require gov't id/facecheck/creditcard? once you hit age restricted content.

Interesting - that's actually the hardline for me I refuse to cross. I will just refuse to use a service at that point if it 'requires' me to hand over a government ID.

I get pissed off enough when I have to do stupid anti-money laundering facial scan BS.

The main thing for me was having a syncthing node available 24/7. Initially I was hesitant to put one on a 3rd party vps, but there is now an untrusted device mode in beta that I haven't had any problems with so far.

Secondary was for bittorent'ing.

Thanks for the link... I didn't watch the whole thing as I resonated when he said 'entertainment is for detaching from life'. After hearing that I got it. That really is the problem with a lot of the "AAA" "Art" being produced today.

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.

The biggest problem with UX developers is they know better than you AND force you into their paradigm. They came on the scene and decided "Choice is Bad" coupled with "Our way or the highway".

I've decided to be frozen in time with MATE (basically gnome 2). I have problems with it, but I've realized I don't want to be hit with surprise! on upgrades.

Reminds me of GNOME3.

Yes but also no. You don’t get to demand modernisation while also poo-pooing a whole discipline of research (UX) and one very important tenant of the book of UX practices is not confuse the hell out of your users with toggles and options and dropdowns for every single visual aid.

I agree that we ought to have more control. But not every control. GUIs SHOULD be opinionated.
