Please, please, please. Can’t wait until I go proper VMs.

Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

No blocking and static content.

If it HAS to have user-generated content, then 1) it’s an app, not a website 2) have it untraceable to me from it to me 3) shove it in a jurisdiction that doesn’t care. Still no blocking.

Sounds like 1FA with extra steps.

Tell me you’re insecure without saying you’re insecure.

[being in US is hard]

[then don’t]

many in the US can hardly do anything but work

Whatever, you weren’t listening anyway.

US citizens have the most powerful passport in the world and a cost of living that makes overseas travel profitable. There’s no goalposts moving here. Paying a shitton of extortion money for a privilege of not paying the overblown price might be a decision to make might be a dexision they consciously make, but that’s not my point. My point is, this medicine does not cost nearly as much, and the only reason >$1000 numbers are thrown around is that nobody in their sound mind pays them. If you’re willing to embark on side-discussions, I’m willing to entertain you, just stop bringing up your movable goalposts.

Lastly, the whole point is how in the US quality insurance IS a privilege

Having rights of a US citizen is a privilege. Living in US while having rights of a US citizen is a privilege on top of a privilege. But one doesn’t have to. That’s absolutely a choice. Repeat after me. An Afghan person with nearly no rights and a cost of ticket to US exceeding their life-long salary doesn’t move to US because it’s a privilege. But for a US hobo, whose monthly expenses far exceeding a ticket to a sane country they’re “magically” already allowed to enter anytime they want, staying in US is a choice. Don’t even try to twist that into a privilege. Time and flexibility, my ass. US citizens spawn with a golden ticket and a knob to dial life difficulty to “easy”. If they stay in US past their healthy young prime, that’s on them.

Off-topic? Goalposts? Misinformation?

Now that you’ve named specific drugs, it’s awfully easy to show how US is just a scam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/312014/average-price-of-humira-by-country

The difference between US and the runner-up is worth not just two plane tickets, but a lavish vacation. Just accept it, you’re being had and it never crossed your mind to do the reasonable thing.

What part of my comment lead you to believe I was referring to anyone who was able to subvert the customer model?

A plane ticket out of the scam country and back is a pathetic fraction of the “thousands dollars cash per dose” you invoked.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Each dose is thousands of dollars cash.

LOL, it’s because it’s not, simple as that.

Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

I can’t even make it through the maze of your thoughts. Being sponsored by people who make killing utensils = bad, while being sponsored by people who literally kill = good? This is beyond logic.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.

Firefox ate my RAM joke is ridiculous. Nokia N900 has 256MB RAM. Fennec for Maemo had electrolysis (multiprocessing) turned on. In version 4. Years before the desktop Firefox. You really need to go old-school embedded for Firefox to eat your RAM.
