    What about legislating that insurance companies must be non-profits

    If they can’t take a profit they need to spend their premiums. If the premiums are too high they need to be generous, if razor tight they need to be fair, too low they’d be sued out of existence

    Linux had always been good - put together a new computer, move the OS from the old one, put Linux on the old one…

    Find Linux is so much fun, dual boot the new machine on Linux, only keep windows for games

    My audio collection from then is all .ogg files

    When windows was at version 3, I mostly had the computer booting to command prompt, type win to start windows

    Though at some point I made a boot menu in autoexec.bat to let you choose windows, command prompt, or any of the games installed

    I remember when discs got big enough that we could have windows 3.1 installed as well as a current tech game

    I will not miss setting up interrupts for cards, I will not miss setting up extended memory

    Though all that would have been easier were I older. I was in my 20s when Linux became available and the early experience with DOS had me happy to dive right into that







  • That’s how the law would treat an adult. “That’s not defending your home, that’s murdering a man who isn’t a threat” is what the adult would be told. They’d want a very good lawyer, they also would have wanted to aim better so there was only their side of the story

    We don’t apply the law like that against children* because children don’t have the ability to control themselves or think before acting that adults have.

    Have a bit of empathy for the kid.

    *Except when it’s very newsworthy
