It's a scam. Right Wing politicians up here in Saskatchewan have been rolling on about it for at least a decade as a response to the "damn lilbural's and their climate agenda."
It's not viable. It's never been viable. It's a through-line that they can feed their idiot followers to say "look...we aren't bad for the environment, it's just the left telling you we are."
I mean there really is no way that they won't I'd imagine.
They owe their entire careers to him, Len, Don Dohler, David DeCoteau, Amir Shervan and Jim Wynorski

I'm not going to say that Boeing definitely killed them. It's suspicious, sure, but in the end no one really knows except them.
But the funny thing is that even the perception that they might have is having kind of a weird Streisand Effect for them. People who may not have been whistleblowers before; people who would have been too scared to open their mouths are probably now moving from fear to anger as they try to ensure that their colleagues deaths (potential murders) are not seemingly for nothing.
I mean, true...but I don't think the average user is paying for the service rather than they're paying for not having to worry about setting up everything needed to get syncthing working.
I don't consider myself a luddite in any way, but within five seconds of reading syncthing's install instructions even I basically just said, "yeah...no." And I say that AS a nearly 12 year semi-advanced linux user. It's not that it's difficult. But difficult enough to not be worth it for the average person.
Do conservative voters just need a daily dose of misplaced resentment and rage to keep them going?
Yes. Conservative politics is (and always has been) the strategy of giving your followers someone to either fear, hate, look down on, or increasingly all three and then telling them repeatedly that they are the only party who can "fix" it. It's not about governing, it's about stoking anger and fear so that donors keep giving them money.
Pre-civil rights it was African Americans in the US and Indigenous people in Canada. Then it became homosexuals, then Mexicans, then migrants in general, then so-called "illegals" and refugees. Then 9-11 happened and it became Muslims. Then brown people in general. And now it's circled back around to LGBTQ+ and trans folk.
Pick your marginalized society of choice and insert it into the very same playbook that's always been used.
Little Pierre Poppinfresh isn't doing or saying anything that hasn't been Conservative policy from the very beginning. It's just that thanks to the Trump effect, he no longer has to be subtle about it like his predecessors did.

likely yes. I was in university in the late 90s. My knowledge is very out of date.
Actually, honestly, yes I did. My bad. I apologize.
In the back of my brain I knew there was something I was forgetting about as I typed and it was on the tip of my tongue.
Actually yes...it is.
Law enforcement often employs archaeologists for that very purpose. My professor in Uni for example would go help them out whenever they got a call about a body being found because there just weren't enough murders in my part of the world to justify having someone full time.
The skill-sets are virtually identical, the bones are just fresher. Reading a crime scene and reading a archaeological site are basically kissing cousins.
From my time majoring in Arch, I'd say the rule of thumb is:
"Is the culture the body came from vanished or changed to the point where no one has a personal stake in it."
So for example, vikings are long since gone. Modern northern europeans are generally a completely different culture, therefore not grave robbing. Same with Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, etc...
Indigenous tribes in North America and Australia for example, still very much around and still very much grave robbing (though that opinion is controversial)
Basically, if the existing culture still shows reverence to those ancestors...leave them alone. If the existing culture no longer honours them as ancestors, dig baby dig.
Just my opinion, but I feel like you're far to concerned with being "current". No offence.
I'm 48 and when I was younger I swore up and down that "I wasn't going to be like my parents, stuck in my ways musically, blah blah blah." But you know what, it doesn't actually matter. Literally at all. It's vapid pop culture stuff that in adult world, no one actually cares about. Your friends aren't going to be your friends simply because you like the same music as them. You're social circle isn't going to rise and fall based on how "current" you are because outside of highschool, literally no one gives a damn.
Like what you like. Listen to what you want. and don't worry about staying "hip" because the entire concept is subjective and meaningless in the actual day-to-day world. No one is going to shun you for not knowing what's happening between Kendrick whats-his-face and The dude from Degrassi. And if they do, they're not really the kind of vapid social media obsessed people you should be associating with at your age anyway.
Again...just my opinion.
