The first is the 'de facto', which are widely adopted for various reasons, mostly marketing, market share, and marketing.
The second is the "alternative" options that serve as alternatives to the previously mentioned choices.
The remaining software falls into the third category, where the focus is on implementing improvements to the other two categories.
Memes flow. Links get posted.
All is just a setup for the next IRL meeting.
I found the end of the internet in '99.
This is the last few sites that have a low bot ratio.
Easily enough to dodge, stop, limit damage while not requiring red lights or stop and go allowing passengers and pedestrians to travel.

Case sensitive hyphenated compound word commands?
The (current) repo owner perhaps - is https://github.com/QuantumChilipepper
He describes himself as "Spicy Boi"
All my dev work, personal, and internet while I work. KVM to swap. External screens.
Strict separation of work and life. No key logging like the work system. No fillers.
I looked him up recently. He's a big player in SV now.
[0] little demonstration that their Windows domain shouldn't be on the same subnet as their users.
Thanks to data processing, humans going about it manually, we have saved $40MM a month. I am quite certain we can save a few hundred million by the end of the year.
We have not yet even started ingesting our own data yet.
The ability to gain entry is trivial given a few minutes and intent.
The locks in my house are there so the glass has to be broken. The glass is there to give me enough time to respond.

Then things got more complicated.
Now I only use email for corporations to send me bills.
To the person just entering the world and getting exposed to computers and the internet I can almost understand the perspective.
There are a lot of silly things that exist because of necessity and systems being built over time.
Why isn't our mail just routed to a three-word address?
Like every tax system in government and system architecture, if we knew now how it would be implemented in used, we would do things differently.
There is a loss when oral history is removed from a culture. The stories of why are gone.
There is a warning, do not move the ancient landmarks. Do not tear down an old fence. After learning this I now ask, why is it this way?
Even if correct is being miserable worth it?
Odd because I hated school, teachers, and public speaking.
Spent money to learn public speaking.
That was one hurdle that I couldn't figure out without help.
I would argue the life we will have is very predictable, on a 5-year timeline, based upon decisions between today and the next year. Small things, like showing up to work on time, has a compounding impact upon one's life.
The ability to afford a mortgage has a dependency of a few thousand good decisions resulting from several years of positive actions.
I'm a remote worker. My house is more secure than most thanks to my proximity to bad guys.
I have a yubi that I push that puts in 80% of my password. I type the rest.
This saves me time, adds complexity required by corporate.
Why can't I incorporate the key and Chrome password manage?
My cell could be easily lost or compromised (cloned or stolen) so using it as a 2FA always feels silly.
