All the higher mammals learn by playing, by doing, by interacting. And indeed, the higher the mammal, the more of its life it spends in play to prepare itself for adulthood. So you can see, this active role of the mind is fundamental to the way we think. It’s wired into our brains.

It’s a really great speech, and a lot of it is about the failures of our educational system.

It means I have an old desktop in my closet, that I use to manage my own email. Here’s an example on what it takes to set it up: https://linuxvox.com/blog/install-and-configure-postfix-and-dovecot/

http://www.mutt.org/ is how I browse, manage, and send my email

Yes, it’s been very reliable. IME, the vast majority of people who complain about deliverability issues are spammersmarketers. They set up their own servers, send out a bunch of spamnewsletters, then complain that they get marked as spam. I don’t have much sympathy for them.

Of course, I’m not saying that it never happens to legitimate email, but IME, that is increasingly rare, especially after setting up DKIM, SPF, and the like.

It also gets better over time as your IP gains a better reputation.

I run my email out of my closet. Postfix/Dovecot, using Mutt as my client.

I only know this because of Archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWDVuHDpq0

I don’t think they were “surprised” by it. It seems like they thought it was a search result. Which is fair, IMO. If DDG didn’t want people to mistake that for a search result, then they shouldn’t put it in the spot where the search results go.

I still don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make.

I feel like I’m not really understanding the question, but here ya go: The people who are willing to pay for it.

Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don’t trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

They totally can. They just don’t really care, because they are mostly funded by advertisers.

I’m fairly happy with my Linux phone. Not too worried :P

Why would they go after their friends and bosses?

The “hype” is just marketing

At a previous job, I had to build laptops that would multi-boot DOS, Win95, Win98, and XP, all on one laptop. Our field-tech’s software had to have those specific versions of windows for the machines that they serviced, because of how the software interacted with USB and embeded floppy drives.

If you want to scare yourself:

I’m not sure you do. You just referenced a document where you didn’t know half of what was going on under Biden.

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

Well, if you ignore the bad things that someone does, then I can see how this can be confusing. I participate in US news discussions all the time, that’s how I know that Biden is a terrible person, who did terrible things.

If you want to be less confused, I’d recommend that you do the same.

Not really, no. Like I said, they were very similar.
