Great article. Also pretty sad to see what we’ve ended up with in the name of business. Maybe if humanity survived another few hundred years we will look back on this time of corporations with disgust.

This only applies if you’re not extremely wealthy, though.
So there’s that.
Sigh
Yy! \o/
Mint is a good recommendation. I’ve used it for most of a decade because I just want my system to work.

Right? Like someone is going to put a chair or bench in a public space like a park. Ha! Call it a “park bench” or something… and let people sit on it for free?? Ludicrous! It’ll never happen! /s
That’ll be £1.00 for reading this response. Please advise where to send the invoice.
Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.
Apparently not.
I got nothin
I found this on skeptics stack exchange. Supposedly, it’s a hoax/urban legend that goes back way before the internet. (The entire stack exchange page on this topic is fun to read, btw)
The quote originally came from Prof. George T.W. Patrick of University of Iowa, who translated an ancient stone tablet into modern English and published in “Popular Science Monthly”, May 1913. The full text of the original can be found online at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/popularsciencemo82newy, page 493.
One writer found this same quote in a slightly earlier source dating to 1908.
Yet another writer noted that there was no Chaldea but …
… there was a stele of a King Naram-Sin of Akkad which has been exhibited in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum since 1892. The inscription on this stele is fragmentary and has nothing to do with degeneration.
No one will dig up our Lemmy posts in 1000s of years. :(
Don’t even get me started on finding decent copper.

The whole “woke” buzzword thing is just dumb. It’s just the latest bigotry dogwhistle / Fox “News” Pavlovian Response Training, where chuds are trained to react with visceral disgust at any word.
They made the chuds flip about WelFaRe QuEeN, HilLaRy, bEnGaZi, SoCiaLiSM and LIbRuLS and now WoKe. Fox could train these people to hate the word TURNIP.
Oof real. I love taking the 4Runner places off the beaten path (but still on a proper trail ofc). Get far enough out on a hard enough trail and it becomes zero to slight peopley
True. It is plausible. At the same time I have to think that if the human race hasn’t evolved to factor cooperation in tribes in most cases, we wouldn’t be here discussing this.
This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

You sure made no bones about your opinion there.
Some of the trust comes from eyes on the project thanks to it being open source. This thing got discovered, after all. Not right away, sure, but before it spread everywhere. Same question of trust applies to commercial software too.
Ideally, PR reviews help with this but smaller projects esp with few contributors may not do much of that. I doubt anyone has spent time understanding the software supply chain (SSC) attack surface of their product but that seems like a good next step. Someone needs to write a tool that scans the SSC repos and flags certain measures like the # of maintainers.
PS: I have the worst allergies I’ve had in ages today and my brain is in a histamine fog so maybe I shouldn’t be trying to think about this stuff right now lol cough uuugh blows nose
