I use informant which in theory fixed this but even then there is an issue on it about some things happening earlier in pacman than the transaction hook it uses so... Bleh. This shit needs to be built into pacman itself, seriously.

Permissive licenses were a mistake.

Imagine contacting a brick and mortar store in another country and threatening sanctions because they don't check the passport of visitors so they're "offering services" to another country. That's sort of what's happening.

I guess this is what it comes down to...

1. Do you view allowing any arbitrary IP address to access your site as "offering service" to all countries? Or,
2. Do you view having a website as just putting something into cyberspace and it's the responsibility of countries to control access to it if they don't want their citizens going there.

Personally, I'm a firm believer that IP addresses aren't people and that an IP address range doesn't mean the end user is from that country, so I lean towards point 2.

...buuuuuut I also really don't like the idea that countries control access to things like that. I'm sort of in a "wish I could have it both ways" thing. Because the more sites that are adamant about taking view number 2 the more countries will be encouraged to censor. And let's be honest, this is all about control, there are sensible ways to protect children like creating standardized self labels for parental controls to reject and find on those instead, so... It's hard.

I hate this.

I think people who used to use 4chan.get nostalgic for the rare gems and forget the absolute depraved shit or how much there was, perhaps along with not being able to spot things as well when they used it.

It's not as recognizable though.

There's nothing wrong with using undo, there only something wrong with lying about it.

I had to tweak things often in Windows too. Windows pushed a broken update around December 2023 (or 2022, don't remember) and when I restored from a system image Windows itself made it broke everything worse. Windows isn't perfectly stable. There's currently a bug corrupting people's disks.

I think a huge part of it is that you're more used to the types of issues you ran into on Windows and knew how to solve them easily enough that they didn't cause headaches.

Documentation is easier.

For the love of all things good and pure, do not use LLMs to make your documentation.

Honestly I think another part is that AI is actually pretty fascinating (or at least easy to make seem fascinating to investors lol) so when company A makes a flashy statement to investors involving AI, company B's investors ask why company B isn't utilizing this amazing new technology. This plays into that aspect of not wanting to get left behind.

There is a weird bias against bisexual men in media. Someone I knew even once said she didn't believe bisexual men existed, all men are either straight or gay. For me self identification is important. If someone tells me they're straight but I believe they're bisexual, I'm going to call them straight.
