Kind of misses the point of the protocol, even if I agree with the intent. I don't like seeing garbage here either. We do need better filters, but users will always have to choose those by design. It would make the protocol pointless (for me) if anyone could just moderate the entire protocol for everyone. Options with better defaults would be great.

I'd hoped they would have turned on Hamas a lot sooner.

Link seems broken. Also appears to be an SSL issue

Maybe it was just the drive that went. Could be worth putting a new one in and reinstalling the OS.

I think the typical expected lifespan of a drive is about 5 years. Sometimes a little longer depending on the drive

That's why I said depending on the drive type. Drives were still being used in 2017 that may have been projected to last exactly as long as I said.

Either way, this is still the first place I'd start testing on a computer that old if the goal is to keep using it.

It's rare for a bad system to be replaced with an ideal one right away. Democracy was better than brute rule by a king. But the idea of a Constitutional Republic is even better. Technology is making things better in some respects and will probably result in an improved future.It wasn't the best possible idea, but it was an attempt at better, even if misguided or miscalculated. I think it ultimately led to better ideals.

I don't know who "we" refers to, but I don't feel weaker without a king.

I don't even live under democracy. I'm just saying it's better as an intermediate step toward something else. I'm not in favor of democracy as an end point. It's a bit better than one man rule, but majority rule can still be tyrannical.

If you remove all the fluff, this is basically just talking about retirement, where one is financially free to do whatever they want with their time. It's just reframed here as an alarmist novel concept. It probably is true that fewer people will reach that definition of retirement in the coming years (at least in the US where most people are spending such that they will never be free).

I also question how important "online" is in the context of work. You're working for a set amount of time regardless of whether it's online or not. Free time, if you have any (if you don't, that's a separate issue) can be spent doing whatever you can afford offline. People aren't forced to spend leisure time online, are they?

I say having no free time is a separate issue because it's independent of modernity. Almost all of us would've had the same problem in 1700 when they had no digital devices. In fact, most people probably had far less free time and every human on the planet was offline all the time. Without fiat debasement, most of us would have more free time over time due to advancements in technology and efficiency. I don't see how the issue changes simply by introducing a digital device. You either have a choice or you don't. Being stuck in a field picking corn isn't necessarily better than being stuck at a desk working on a computer. Both have pros and cons.

I just think it's a moot point because the actual issue isn't whether people can be offline or not. It's whether they will have leisure time and how much leisure time they'll have. Yes, fiat debasement necessarily robs people of time if their time is valued and/or saved in fiat. But if you have any leisure time, you can spend at least some portion of it offline if you really want to. You might miss a tournament or whatever. But you chose, and that's what really matters. If you have no leisure time, I don't see why it matters. You don't have a choice anyway.

That's what I mean. It's making a class issue of something that isn't the actual metric we should use to measure quality of life, in my opinion. I do think we should have online systems that respect us, but that's also a separate issue I think.

There could be some niche argument. For example, maybe digital books are cheaper (that isn't always the case now, but let's say it is then) so poorer people tend to buy them. But the digital versions, like today, can be taken back on a whim, altered, etc. While the paper books, assuming they don't get destroyed in some other way, are closer to ownership for the rich people. But that again is a different issue than simply online vs offline. This would miss the point that poor people will likely have access to ever cheaper technology that makes such issues less important. AI, etc.

I think it's best to just look at your threat model and adjust things accordingly. For most of us, that's probably the Google's of the world and poor opsec habits. I use things like SimpleLogin, Privacy.com, GrapheneOS, etc to make small improvements. You're not going to compete with a nation state if they want to get you. But it isn't futile to make small improvements to reduce overall risk.
