I don't really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

I think I missed this trend. I've been full-screening almost everything on macOS for years

I heard that Proton email addresses have developed a reputation for often belonging to scammers and spammers. Do you know if any of your outgoing email has ended up in anyone's spam box?

Nostr. I think the tech is cool, but the culture seems like some sort of cryptocurrency cult

YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area

send and receive mobile alerts via text message

I hope this database of phone numbers, and all programs that connect to it, are secure.

(Not that text messages are even secure, but a database is much easier to extract a complete list from.)

YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process (Edit: Not anymore, it’s fixed now)

They could have done both.

If it's not fixed by Monday, I will consider starting the approval process from the legal department that requires it from me.

I wish I had the freedom to just open a PR anywhere anytime, but I don't.

It sounds like a pull request would have been much more helpful, with much less effort. But you want it fixed less than you want it publicized, so you chose this option (even though you could have done both).

In other words, you cared less about the people impacted by this problem, and more about your own opportunity to put the author(s) on blast like this.

And you care about that opportunity so much, that it's even worth it to show this dark side of yourself publicly.

Am I understanding that right?

OR maybe everyone — including the poor — will eventually have access to robotic surgeons with the equivalent of like 500 human years of experience, but with the latest surgical best practices that have only existed in recent years. The experience gained by a single surgery could be shared across all of them.

We're talking about surgery. If some technology can provide significantly more valuable labor than its human counterpart (which, in this case, could mean more lives saved), then it might actually be worth exploring.
