I always saw it as a trust-chain and think that anyone is welcomed to create a root certificate and distribute it to whomever trusts them. Most simple services may not need TLS, but with the ISPs eavesdropping on our communication, a form of secure communication is required and the currently best solution we have requires a trust-chain to be built.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is. Well, it gets complicated quickly when a wide range of users involved.

And YouTube recently (and silently) started approving multiple in-add ads for videos longer than 20 minutes. They destroyed the long-form content creators with their shorts push, and now it looks like they're trying to recover a little.

Just curious, what do you do with the increasing number of companies that use push notifications as a form of advertising venue, and how do you differentiate the security warning notification from your camera app from their special weekly annual sale notification?

The marginal cost of each notification is so low that companies simply spam users nonstop, and their A/B tests shows that the revenue is increasing. What's being lost though is that we're getting more and more agitated with these brands and their uncapped malicious behaviors. This is also true with their UI and UX as well, they keep adding banners with incredibly small close buttons, because someone will continue with the shopping after accidently missing the tiny button, and that's an added sale, who cares about 99% of users who are fuming with dissatisfaction, what are they going to throw away their $200-300 smart home device because companies abuse them?

Back in early days of personal computers, the instructor told us that a computer just does what you tell tell it to do, though not always what you thought, and making a mistake thousands of times a second hurts a lot.

I think it's about owning the consequences of one's own actions.

Please be cognizant of fake plugins. They replicate entire plugins including the readme files and link to the original repos, but the code itself is different.

I agree, for anyone who's not familiar with it, one is a marketing term while the other is the actual measurement.

So 40 containers carried transported by 20 trucks and then by 3 cargo planes?

Surely you would increase the salary of the current employees if you're hiring new people with higher salaries.

Also, it sounds like the entire premise is "people don't want to work because they're not being paid enough" which is enough of a good reason by itself.

Seems like distros consider it a medium risk because it doesn't involve remote code execution and requires local access. Though it allows local root privilege escalation which is considered high priority.

> Medium: A significant problem, typically exploitable for many users. Includes network daemon denial of service, cross-site scripting, and gaining user privileges.

A vendor I never interacted with emailing me usually has no respect of me.

There's definitely a trend of ignoring prompts and cutting thinking short.

The new trend is that the legitimate corporations sending you spam regardless of your communication settings, or even after unsubscribing for the 10th time.

Yes, I'm looking at you Teal HQ, you're spamming us even 3 months after deleting our accounts.

With various websites planning to introduce micro-transactions to read their contents, maybe the end-users should start charging for email deliveries.

You want to send me an email? Please give me $1 first, and if I don't like your content I can, without notice, change that number to $50 per email.

The number of files in the node modules folder is crazy, any amount of organization that can tame that chaos is welcomed.

You're absolutely right on that one. It usually starts with querying data from complex systems, and slowly morphs into a dedicated solution of itself. I started seeing a lot of OEMs integrating projects like Grafana and Metabase into their product, and LLMs is making things a lot easier for everyone to start other bespoke apps as well.

Bespoke works to a certain extend, just like having various spreadsheets with macros in them, but after a while having a standard business process becomes quite vital. Especially when other people already made the same mistakes and came up with good solutions, but also you will need talent that is already trained for these procedure. Otherwise, you may need to take the burden of training folks all the time for something that they will not be able to transfer anywhere.
