"Allocating all resources during configuration" is not part of a protocol definition.
@bettersafetynet @cakeis_not_alie I think being "skilled" has too much emphasis on knowing how to use a tool to accomplish a task, rather than grokking higher level concepts that can be applied in the abstract.

People talking about "Coming out of COVID" in meetings. I am glad we're still remote, because if we weren't I'd be screaming at them.
If we weren't I would have quit due to the COVID danger though.

I've seen written "What is a pandemic that doesn't kill people?" after good public health numbers were released in France.

I got a call from a weird IT scammer recently. They asked me a few questions and I was going to try to play along, but then I ended up breaking out laughing for a full minute, and hung up knowing the jig was up

You’re telling me that for $90/year/person, Kitchener could have full sidewalk clearing, but that the committee is recommending the status quo? What’s your hourly wage, and how much time do you spend shovelling? At minimum wage that’s less than 7 hours. That’s _so cheap_!

@JohnsNotHere :verified: Not wanting to interrupt, since it barely matters. But - why did you go with 1d6 and 1d20 vs 1d6 and 1d10?

Something more "exotic" with a 1D20 vs a 1D10. Plus it makes people feel as if they have a better chance. I.e. purely personal and unscientific.

There is and there should be a moral argument with which I agree with, but current US laws are on the side of companies, not consumers. They can and they should change, but until then writing "LEGALLY" in all caps is pointless.

Which is *not* how *sale* works legally.
And the related problem is that if you accept that framing you accept that it's just fine and normal to rip people off and basically make them dependent on corporations for their lives.

And if you don't accept the framing that if you buy a phone you don't own the hardware, you are cutting yourself from a significant portion of the smartphone offer, which is another trade-off to consider.
I'm not sure about your dependency on corporations argument. I can't do everything myself, so I am dependent on corporations to provide me with what I can't do myself. Supposedly with antitrust laws I should be able to choose between multiple options (unless it's a state enforced monopoly like police departments) but it isn't looking good on that front.
I'm not happy about it but it is the reality we are operating within and I don't blame anyone for making the only choice corporations offer. You're talking about ripping people off, but if it is the only available alternative to them because they wouldn't be able to repair their own device themselves anyway for lack of time and knowledge, is it still ripping them off? And if they have to trust another third party for repairs, how much better is it for them?
Don't forget we're sitting on a massive mountain of tech privilege and what feels familiar to us is completely foreign for most people. Most people don't care about "owning the hardware" because they can't do anything with that, they just want to "use a phone", and this is what they are sold, nothing more, nothing less.

But the law did previously defend your right to own your thing. The modern moment is a flaunting of the legal tradition and also rewriting the laws to not protect us. So this is important to discuss.
Hypolite Petovan 5 months ago
So it is important to legally ensure ownership again to people who want it, but it is illusory to believe everybody wants it or would benefit from it.
