@joe Doesn’t that make switching browsers even *more* the answer? We need to fight that control every bit as when it was MSIE, and switching browsers remains the main, most direct weapon.
@33MHz I’m seriously wondering if speculative execution was just a mistake categorically. Is the performance gain really worth the loss in clarity/predictability/safety/& can? It’s increasingly seeming like not.
@33MHz I remember learning that most gas pumps automatically stop at $100 when we tried to fill up a large u-haul while moving some friends. Had to run it a second time for the last $20 or so.
@mandy Which, the part where she makes up a conspiracy theory devoid of evidence? Or the bizarre echo chamber that buys into it because it supports their ideology? I guess there’s some “interesting” psychology going on here, sure.
@unixb0y@33MHz@KI6BJV I have a lot of respect for Manning. She saw some terrible stuff while already in a bad mental place, and I believe tried honestly to do the right thing.
@KI6BJV@33MHz@unixb0y The spying leaks were mostly Snowden. Manning’s leaks were broader, but the most important were civilian killings abroad by the US military.
@unixb0y Not sure how to price it, but they’re certainly worth more than most contemporary equipment. You pay extra for design that ends up non MoMA. :-) They’re also comparatively rare (largely because the were expensive even then). / @keage
@keage@unixb0y Confirmed; I’ve got one. Beautiful design (ended up in a museum), but unsuccessful and short-lived product. How the innards pop out and are put together is pretty neat.
