  • I don’t know your age or your skill at typing but I can tell you look down on people who type with 2 fingers.

    I have never learned to type correctly and have been using 2 fingers my whole life. Yes it’s slower than if I had learned but I have never felt slowed by it not have I ever been told my performance is lacking because of it. I don’t even really look at the keyboard anymore when I type because I memorized where the keys are. Much like you do on a phone I know where all the keys are and I type fast.

    I know you can’t imagine it but hunt and peck would describe a person that had never seen a keyboard. That’s not how many people type.





  • Here’s the meat and potatoes of the article.

    In 2023, they decided that the best way to deal with the problem was to secretly bolt a Starlink terminal to the “O-5 level weatherdeck” of a US warship.

    They called the resulting Wi-Fi network “STINKY”—and when officers on the ship heard rumors and began asking questions, the leader of the scheme brazenly lied about it. Then, when exposed, she went so far as to make up fake Starlink usage reports suggesting that the system had only been accessed while in port, where cybersecurity and espionage concerns were lower.

    Rather unsurprisingly, the story ends badly, with a full-on Navy investigation and court-martial.














  • Copyright protects creators and prevents monopolies from abusing the system. Imagine you write a movie to sell and Amazon steals that exact movie but uses their resources to market it as their own and sell over seas.

    You tell me in what world that sounds fair. Only a moron thinks a free market economy actually works.

    Another example is assuming companies act in good faith to protect the market. History has shown that not only do corporations NOT care about rules and regulations but they actively act in the interests of investors and profits.

    It is up to the courts to fix the abuse of the current copyright system and unfortunately they also act in the interests of profits.
