A fellow SSH fan! Super underrated tool. I mean, we just use it so much but so much can be done with it. This looks very cool
I find democrats very dishonest about tariffs. The same people that act like taxes have no impact when they want them... but then again they will propose sin taxes saying they will reduce the usage of things like cigarettes.
Then you have the republicans that talk a big game on taxes but never really do anything to back that up. Republicans will oppose corporate taxes saying they will affect the customer... but now the tariff fans who usually say this same stuff are pro tax.
Now, there is argument to be made that tariffs are a tool that will change behavior but there is a cost. I don't think they have counted the cost and impact. We will see though.
I still say, if you can't admit that taxation is theft, you are gonna have all sorts of problems in your reasoning about them.
Such a dumb name. I wonder if he came up with it. Feels like something he would come up with to me. Not that I think he's dumb. I actually think he is very sharp.
Let me just put it this way. If you aren't helping someone every day... I'm not sure what you are doing with your life.
- If you have a job you are helping someone.
- If you have a family and are not helping someone... you are terrible
- If you live in a community and aren't helping anyone in that community... its time to start looking around for things where you could
- If you are a Christian and aren't helping people, you need to talk to your pastor, or priest about it and ask them for counsel.
We are not meant to live alone. Humans need community and community involves helping others. We all can help others and will all need help from time to time.
Yes, helping others does feel good. Not always though. Some people are not grateful or thankful. But, I have found that joy can be found in doing almost any task.
I really think that some of the depression we see in people today is due to selfishness. Not being connected to communities and therefore focusing more inwardly instead of outwardly. Even just having a job that you go to each day can help. That is, if you put your best effort into that job. If you just half-ass it... you know it and it will be a drag. Seek to do good work.
Yes, I agree with Michael Malice. The average man's view of politicians should be the way they view a tobacco executive.
I'm surprised he has stayed this long. Honestly, with the grief he's gotten over it... there's no way I'd have done it if I were him.
I will be shocked if there is a net reduction in overall spending.
I'm hearing commercials about how they "may cut" medicad and social security. I've been hearing that nonsense my whole life. People are so gullible.
AI is Eurocentric
As in white European?
not everyone knows how to use AI equally
I love this kind of thinking... it leads to the kind of hellscape Ayn Rand wrote about in "We the Living". Mind blowing when you hear people actually say stuff like that with a straight face.
I felt like we couldn't get much done.
Well, it is "Higher Ed" after all(I worked in it for several years).
Good lord I'm glad I don't work in higher ed or government connected work anymore.
I strongly disagree. Private airlines are a different market. Its not catering to the mass market.
I do not think TSA has a better record of security either. Agree to disagree on this one.
I've listened to the passkey pitch a few times and Im still not sold. This quote makes a great point. I've tested them with Bitwarden and they work but I am a long way from sold on them replacing passwords and being better than passwords and 2FA combined. If someone doesn't resuse passwords and uses 2FA passwords aren't really a problem IMO.
I guess you could say that passkeys make you use a tool but that's also the barrier to entry.

I understand where you are coming from with that. My experience with TSA is very different as it is with others. Glad you have had good luck.

Wow dude. Wow. "Don't fly". They have a monopoly unless you can afford to fly on a private jet you are forced to use their services.
The main reason to get rid of the TSA is because they suck at doing their job and like most services it can be provided at lower cost and with better results privately. That's my opinion at least. But, there has been reporting on their lack luster performance.
I'm not sure if tickets prices will go up or not actually. It might happen, I'm not sure if the TSA charges the airports for the service. If they didn't they should have. But if they didn't the tax payers paid for it, even ones that did not use the service.
Yep, that's a great tip. Simple Login is a paid service that allows you to do this as well. You can self host it as well.

I have as well, but sometimes its the only viable option. Flying sucks these days compared to pre-9/11.

Very true. I've despised the TSA from day one. Not saying I despise the people, some of them are fine and I do have sympathy for some of them. Others are terrible. I still opt out of the body scanners. Yeah, I'm one of those guys.
