I think the reason may be two-fold.

The first part, in the eyes of most older people, a man is not supposed to be emotional or give into their more “feminine” feelings. This means they don’t want their wives or children to be the ones that hear the things that concern them or probably scare them, deep down. Most of the stances of conservatives seem rooted in fear, not reason.

The second part is that you are another man, a younger man, and because they don’t know you well you are less risky to tell these things to. They can confide their fears in you because you are a young man, with a life ahead of you and you’ll give them an ear even if you don’t intend to. Really they are probably hoping someone will hear them even if they can’t really pour their hearts out.

I think my main concern is FreeIPA’s longevity. As a tool, it’s rather outdated even in its latest version. It works, but the upkeep on it is not quite robust. Its implementation of AD standards are also limited. This is why I’m looking for an alternative to FreeIPA.

Yeah, users in AD and the FreeIPA replacement essentially handles the SSH key management + middle-man the auth to Linux servers.

It’s crazy they’ve waited this long on Ozzy, it’s nice to see Dave Matthews Band on there. A Tribe Called Quest isn’t exactly what I would consider rock & roll, but more power to them.

Biological functions would also be impacted

Poor people that question their circumstances or don’t follow the rules are dangerous for rich people. America has systematically reduced the wealth of millions of African-Americans and rather than vilifying “reparations” everyone should be fighting for equality and justice. Of course the current trend is to subject anyone below a certain wealth threshold to ever-tighter conditions to keep them from ever gaining or building reasonable wealth.

You had to hack your phone to make this happen. I already explained that I don’t want to be bothered having to put time and effort into making my phone work. Maybe it would be fine as a fun little project, but I’m not going to depend on a jailbroken phone as my main phone, even if the risk it fails is rather low.

Yeah lower quality as in the Android phones that cost less than $1000. Because flagship Samsung Galaxy phones generally run more than that. The cheaper Samsung phones also fall into this category.

I had these problems with Android up until 2018 when I got fed up with dealing with each phone having problems that required a time commitment to resolve. Six years later and I have no regrets at all.

Of course not. The last comment was made based on the title and not the content, which focused completely on African-American crime. I will stand by the fact that the media perpetuates this in English too. If one event occurs, the media makes it appear as if it’s a widespread trend and overplay the frequency and severity of such events, while implying specific races are responsible. All of which is a blatant effort to maintain status quo. “The poor cause crime, the rich follow the rules”

Yeah, I had to make an edit after actually using my failing reading comprehension skills.
