Fax is also HIPPA compliant, email is not.

Yeah I just love having my cancer diagnosis sent in plaintext over copper wire such that anyone with a dollar store audio recorder and physical access to the wire can intercept. If there’s one thing 19th century data transmission tech is known for, it’s security and privacy.

Is it too much to ask that hospitals use the literally decades old AES standard for sending medical data?

Isn’t that literally how art guilds in the middle ages operated? Like if you weren’t part of the guild and tried to sell art you made, a mob from the guild would come along, destroy all your works, and probably beat the shit out of you for good measure?

Also look up the Sonderkommando. They were death camp prisoners tasked with emptying the gas chambers and cremating the victims to “save” the SS from having to do it. When it was their turn in the gas chamber, most of them were reported to be relieved, and there’s a story of a Sonderkommando team being warned by another prisoner that they’re headed to the gas chamber, and they essentially said “we know. We’re the Sonderkommando and this is a mercy for us.”

Thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts: Fuck that guy

Prayers: Hey God, remember to warm up the brimstone for this one!

Not an excuse, doesn’t lessen their atrocities even slightly.

Get arrested then. It’s better than killing civilians. If you think not getting arrested is worth committing a literal genocide, you’re an objectively horrible person and are not worthy of the least bit of respect or sympathy. The laws written after WWII specifically rejects the notion that soldiers can absolve themselves of responsibility by following orders.

I mean, she’s literally a grave robber and thinks that’s an honourable career. So definitely believable.

There’s also a good chance she’s killed people who were trying to prevent their sacred tombs from being desecrated.

Destroying the sacred culture of Indigenous people her country genocided is more profitable than some lame dinosaurs.

Except those weren’t “holidays” in the same sense as modern holidays, as in you had the day to yourself and you could do pretty much whatever you wanted. Those were church days, you had to go to mass, fast for the day, and/or do other assorted religious rituals. You didn’t get a break from work, you were forbidden from working even if you wanted (needed) to because you’re supposed to be worshipping God on those days. Failing to do so can get you shunned from your community as a sinner, or worse, executed for being a blasphemer, especially if you’re a woman. If you’re falling behind on the quotas your lord gave you, those kinds of “holidays” would only make the situation worse because you’re not allowed to use them to catch up.

Hell, I’ve heard of Americans coming to Vancouver Canada and being pleasantly surprised about our public transit. We don’t even technically have a proper heavy metro, and the SkyTrain is classified as automated “light” metro, AKA the kind they have in tiny German towns that are too small for heavy metro or S-bahn, AKA basically the same as an airport peoplemover but built out for a metro area of 3 million people.

FreeBSD does not have support for multiple drives

What really? Isn’t Freenas a Freebsd distro? Isn’t ZFS like something you can only do efficiently on BSD?

Then it wouldn’t be reasonable to assume the US would collapse right at the average (mean) though. If the majority of empires collapsed at the same age (the mode) it would be different, but the mean tells you very little about when any particular empire will collapse.

The mean number of children per household is a decimal, that doesn’t mean any households have partial children.

Using prison slave labour for firefighting is literally the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard even ignoring all the ethical issues. You know who I don’t want in charge of saving my life from a fire? Someone who’s being forced to do it. Because that person probably won’t try very hard.

Dumbest AND most genius: Fake captchas that get the user to press windows+R, then control+C, then enter.

Dumbest because if you paid attention to what’s being pasted, it’s usually a call to power shell with an arbitrary script, and it’s being pasted into your OS’s run box which is basically like a console.

But also genius because there are tons of people that fall for it, and it’s a social engineering masterpiece.

This really highlights two systemic issues: tons of people don’t know what they’re doing with computers and don’t know basic security concepts like don’t run an arbitrary script from an untrusted website, and we should probably do something about that. Which brings me to the second point that Windows is pretty ass for making it this easy. Why can you run an encoded power shell script from your run box, and why would you make bypassing the execution policy as easy as a flag in the command you’re invoking? I can’t imagine those have a lot of legitimate uses and aren’t just being abused by criminals.

So it will fit right into Meta’s work culture then!
