>le privacy emails (proton and tuta): You CAN'T have more than one account because... you just CAN'T okay? Also we'll delete your account after 6-12 months of inactivity lmao>gmail: Of course you can have as many accounts as you want for free, you can even conveniently switch between them if you want. And we'll only delete your account after 2 years of inactivity worst case.
>>107711476> as many free gmail accounts as you want for freeNot so sure about that
they are useless to me because I can't use IMAP with them. I hate having to open up a browser to use them instead of a compfy TUI client
>>107711476I have two proton accounts. What's stopping you?
I'll just use icloud ty
>>107712744I have several but if they ever catch you (and possibly they already know but just don't care) they can tell you to delete all of them except for one or they'll do it themselves.

So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107708717Fuck off, street-shitter.
>>107708717Neat. 2K typically has long leggings.
>>107708229no he won't, Reactos is completely unusable on real hardware. No drivers, horrible stabiliity, drive corruption, and compatibility equivalent to XP
>>107708249Haiku is also a UNIX-like. Get me something with no package managers, no POSIX, no HFS, and drive letters. I want something that works like CP/M since that's how home computer operating systems should operate.Freetardism isn't the problem, UNIX philosophy is the problem
>>107705709> just need to do basic tasks>stream video, and browse basic websitesYeah no.

>>107690359I was hoping for the google shit with android and demanding personal info from developers would spark something, but still crickets. Personal computing at an all time low.
>>107708687I really fucking like Legends though
>>107710086There were very vocal complaints and Google had to publish a new article explaining that it wouldn't do what people were thinking, at least for now.If nothing it killed Android for me and I only use it for web browsing, all serious work is on a notebook and one day I will get a 2-in-1 with Linux support.
>>107690359Its always sad companies dint make devices that look cool, the other month saw a video of some guy making a retro ipad with a pi and a keyboard, even diy tinkering dont try to make cool things, also its odd how they havent tried to make something like the .EXE with all the craze about ai charbots, just give a personalization to their shitty chatbots, let user design them and sell accesories like some gacha games
Let's talk about Israeli tech and try to keep antisemitism to a minimum. These are techies, like you and I, who are interested in using techology in clever ways. Their faith/ethnicity is irrelevant.For instance, specifically, the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev attracted my attention a while back as a place where they develop interesting ways to use tech for intelligence gathering purposes. See below:Gathering data from airgapped PCs:https://archive.ph/mZetuhttps://archive.ph/7CuvEMan in the middle device with an external battery that intercepts traffic from an ethernet network:https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-MitM-devices-used-in-this-paper-Top-Three-1Gbps-Ethernet-switches-used-in-the-IP-DH_fig11_323627250Research papers on this guy's profile in particular are very interesting:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yisroel-MirskyHe's probably mossad or works closely with them, but he freely shares his findings nevertheless.
>>107711090>They are quietly turning away from big booty sedansTrue>I hate hatchbacks so much it's unrealI like hatchbacks. But a lot of brands are not doing proper hatchbacks anymore but instead they are trying to do this new kind of "mini suvs' that look pretentious and gay.
>>107712129These AI cameras are not just for speed, they can detect multiple types of infractions including shit like not using your turn signals when changing lanes, tailgating, or using a cell phone while driving
usecase of speeding instead of taking it slow, comfy, and easy like a civilized person?it has to be a subhuman gene thing
>>107708996But only through speeding, it doesn't prevent the immigrants who drive trucks from killing people because they are incompetent and never went through training
>>107708955>>107709032>>107709945>>107710119Great, I'm glad you agree that we need mandatory speed governors in every car in order to be certified as road legal.They don't even need to be "smart" ones with dynamic speed adjustment. Just take the highest legal speed in the jurisdiction, add 20% as a margin for emergency maneuvering, and help reduce the number of deaths from drunk drivers and medical emergencies. No recording where and when you are driving. No mass surveillance. Just the proven technology of "constrict the gas flow when the wheel is spinning too fast."
On the internet, nobody knows you are human anymore

>>107707836Good.
>>107707836It's fine. All the platforms will just become utterly unmarketable and ads will go from being marginally profitable to being a suicidal venture due to an inability to determine the actuality of the accessible market through a platform. The internet is going to collapse like a modern day Tower of Babel.
