Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.
Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.
Post takes days, weeks, even months. Food delivery is minutes, and point-to-point.
My original half joking comment was about mosquitos not having any concept of language. Somehow you’ve made that into an issue about people misgendering my cat, something which my cat does not care or even know about. If someone refers to my cat as the “wrong” pronouns, I don’t bother correcting them because, again, it’s a cat who has no interest in such things.
I’ve never told anyone “hey my cat prefers they/them”, because my cat much like the mosquitos doesn’t have any such concept.
My theology is a little rusty so bear with me, but; I believe the teaching here is that initially God did create 'companions' for Adam from the earth by way of creatures/animals/critters/etc and then had Adam go around naming them all. But then it goes on to say something like 'there was not a helper fit for him from them', so God made this "helper" (I'll elaborate on that word) directly from Adam who immediately recognised her as being from himself. Genesis isn't really literal either, especially not the first half of it so think of this more as a metaphor.
If you dive into the linguistics a bit (my memory here is also a bit rusty) the term "helper" is translated from the Hebrew word "ezer" and is the same word used to describe God's relationship with humanity. There's a lot of misinterpretation (understandably so IMO) about the word "helper" in most translations, but what most theologians believe it to mean by the use of the word "ezer" is the relationship between man and woman is collaborative and supportive, and not hierarchical despite the English translation making it sound a bit not like that.
The females use she/it pronouns.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think mosquitos have the concept of language.
They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they're big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they've chosen to sell doesn't affect them financially.
DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won't skip sponsored segments though, you'll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they've decided to shill.
I don't want to be a downer, but realistically considering the impact of this Canada is probably going to have to acquiesce at least temporarily.
Trump is applying cold, calculating business logic to this; Canada needs to do business with the US to a large degree, if that becomes costly their (relatively) small economy becomes less viable without reform which they don't have time to implement.
Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% behind Canada in fighting this but realistically it's not a fight they're going to win.
When my elderly, and tech illiterate family ask how to switch from Windows; I’m sorry but I’m not telling them to use Linux because they’re going to harass me nonstop for tech support.
At best this will be the year of macOS, because there’s a store I can send them to for all their questions.
