presumably if somebody’s shipping weapons to israel, you’d be fine with the houthis sinking that ship? so you don’t disagree with the blockade in principle, you just think it’s being implemented too strictly?

i can’t source it and it’s tangential but i do remember hearing about some study that looked at people’s reactions to their cancer diagnosis

  • some people react with melancholy
  • some people react by entering into a strict regime to give themselves that maximum chance of surviving, like heavily controlled diet, exercise, etc.
  • some people react with outrage and denial, just refusing to allow the fact that they have cancer alter their lives

and the outcome was that the second groups had better outcomes than the first, but more interestingly, the third group also had better outcomes than the first

TBH, I haven’t used wordpad since Windows 98

which is why they’re getting rid of it

it would probably be pretty easy to just patch telemetry into it, except nobody uses it because why would you

You can keep using win10 without security updates

if you want to be part of a botnet in a few years, sure

just be smart about it

being smart about it means not using an unsupported os
