  • Imagine Saudi Arabia in 10 + years.

    With all the weapons that they have also purchased from USA, with all the mutual agreements.

    Them being a non human right country, which had abused its own powers. The alliance that it had formed with Iran and China, despite their crimes towards human rights, just as well. We’re in for a hell of a future to deal with, after biden flies away with his golden parachute that is - probably in a far far away land.

    And trump supporters lunatics are going to increasingly think that trump is the solution.

    To hell with them all. And the grand court; what’s it going to do ? Cave in to the masses demands ? It’s a great feat of them, all on its own, to be complicit to all the things that has transpired thus far in the years we have endured without as much voicing their opposition to all of that which is sought to be immoral and unethical by all standards of maintaining human-rights.




  • Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

    • Smart screen

      • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
      • With GPS features, and media access
    • But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

    I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it’s a shame that it still costs practically the same.

    Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.







  • Yeah, so what ?

    Do you know how Gnu / Linux makes money ?

    At some point it is not about individuals but big corporations that need their services, and they buy them.

    They should have built their business model as per their financial requirements from the outset then, if that was the problem for them.

    But that should not justify or excuse them for doing things that are immoral and unethical.

    Sounds more like a greedy approach than anything.

    If I was an ethical and moral CEO of Google, and sought it costly to maintain such a huge infrastructure for millions of people around the world that are using their services freely, I would have made measures to shut them down or close them, instead of maliciously inserting things and harvesting stuff from them.

    Then if they have such data, then they should be held accountable and responsible in the future for any damages as a result of their work processes, and that happened many times historically speaking. And any crime that happens, they either offer evidence or be complicit to hiding fugitives. Which alone is a process that will cost them alot, just having to do it, and cooperate w them any governmental party.

    If I get in trouble in the future, I sure would love to have Google assist me in proving that I was innocent, by providing evidence through data that it has. But would they be willing to do so?

    This is very interesting in a way to think about, as it shows where their weakness lies in their business model, and where they are strong.

    But it goes to show how monopolistic they are, and, if anything, neglectful to basic human rights. Where I’m from, privacy is a human right. So there are many dimensions to take into consideration here - but ultimately they are only a small aspect of this whole complex dimension to boot.

    Ultimately, it is their fault for not setting up their business model to meet up with their own financial requirements. And not ours.



  • There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can’t remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

    Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

    Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

    https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

    – There has been some concerns over docker’s licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

    Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

    Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

    [Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that’s just the gist of it].
