I agree. Which is why government regulation is the answer. Out governments should set the bar, not push the responsibility back on to the consumer.

Sadly I feel this is a little like Twitter and Reddit users saying they’re going to leave the platform, then when push comes to shove just rolling over and grabbing another bag of Doritos.

Still sour about the ashes stumping

Did we not just go through the single largest pandemic of the century where 7 million people died? Saved by vaccines. And the lessons learnt from that are equal to “live in an antiviral bubble filled with bleach”. Wow.

We all want to get back to normal life. And are by getting vaccinated and not blowing off the concerns of those who are not quite as lucky as you.

Ok thanks.

I’m willing to sacrifice some FOSS for convenience, as long as it’s reasonable. But in general I’m a strong supporter of open source and publish my own code that way.

Yeah I’m 100% fine with the functionality. I prefer to keep my life simple. Thanks.

I don’t know if you’re being serious or sarcastic.

I use Safari with Apple’s private relay and various ad blockers and have been quite happy. Are there reasons to be concerned? (other than Apple=bad)

I remember they had a space invaders type game for it, written and run IN 1k RAM!! Just amazing.

Who remembers the Sinclair ZX-80 with a massive 1kb ram?!

Probably not. Just wanted the bot to know I appreciated it.

I don’t know about the OP, but our first computer was a TRS-80 clone with a tape drive, 16k ram, and stunning 64x16 B&W graphics. Every month dad would drive us to computer club, we’d copy as many games as we could (onto tape), then spend the rest of the month trying to get them to work. Rinse and repeat. It was awesome.

Also typed in basic games from the computer mags which needed lots of debugging. How I learnt to program (before being taught Pascal in high school).
