These days, not really, except that netcat has wider capabilities and so often triggers security alarms when used.

I used to send messages by hand over SMTP using a telnet client.

But telnet is just a bidirectional TCP connection. You can run any terminal emulation you want over it, and run it on any port you want.

The telnetd service on the other hand… that has no reason to still be internet-facing.

On a corruption index, shouldn’t 100 mean entirely corrupt?

Either way, the US doesn’t look good, but this seems to be an integrity index.

Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.

Trump also trash talked his longtime friend Epstein.

So what would happen if everyone registered as a republican and voted for socialists in the primaries?

For some reason I read that as motorcycle the first time. I was imagining a motorcycle with a sofa sidecar.

So… the human brain can act like a spider’s spinneret… we just need a way to extrude the human silk instead of letting it gum up our brains.

Hopefully that’s not what he’s saying. I hope what he’s saying is that the neoliberal Democrats aren’t in opposition to the crazy actions the Republicans are taking, and so anything they’re doing to stop them is purely performative.

Still not quite sure I agree with this, but I’m pretty sure that’s what the OP was arguing.

At what point can AI companies play the “too big to fail” card though, like the banks?

Bubble bursts, and the government uses our taxes to bail out the companies. Again.

Isn’t that functionality built in to the OS? Set up parental controls, and you can do this with no extra apps needed. It’ll even generate reports.

Using Shortcuts, you can even map these profiles to different Focus modes.

This might be romanticizing the early Internet.

I can remember plenty of flame wars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all about shutting down meaningful discussion. Informed debate flourished in niche areas, but it still does today, in a similar volume. What’s changed is the massive volume of social media that’s grown up around it, including many types of voices that were in short supply on the Internet in 1989, and many of which are uneducated and/or tribal in nature.

Disney+ has removed all references to Dolby Vision from its European support pages – even the US support pages.

3D movies on Disney+ have also disappeared in several European countries, as these are presented in Dolby Vision (on Apple Vision Pro).

At this time, there is no timeline for when HDR10+, Dolby Vision and 3D will return to Disney+.

InterDigital holds several thousand patents related to radio and video technology and has previously pursued cases against Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung and others. The company has been described as a ‘patent troll’.

Today’s ReactOS is not the ReactOS of 25 years ago.

I’ve seen it both ways; the atheists turned christian don’t tend to stand for cultural christianity though.

2024 was unfair because he didn’t win by a landslide.

That said, it’s also the easiest way to turn an atheist into a christian. Just not one that would be into Southern Baptist OR Catholic churches.

That’s Josh ben Yusef to you.

And most Christian Nationalists have never actually read their seminal text; just out of context selections fed to them by their leaders.

Did you try tweeting your rep? That seems to be the only way to get their attention these days.
