this are literal life or death situations we are talking about, not some office drama when someone spilled coffee on keyboard and went home
kiicia··on Robot can rip the data out of RAM chips
No, physical attacks are possible for many years now. They just require very high manual skill level. Ram chips must be immediately (as fast as possible after power goes down in case you don’t have control over when computer loses power) frozen by liquid gas and then moved into ram-reading jig.

How is radiation supposed to delete character instead of flipping one bit? How is interpreter protected?

kiicia··on Spotify passes 500M active users as operating losses deepen
They will be met with resistance. Podcasts were always free, many even long time listeners will drop podcast instead of paying for it…

Also podcasts were offline by design, I know times change, but still it’s too early…

kiicia··on iOS 17 app sideloading might only be available in Europe
Yeah, banking apps are currently in worst possible spot, neither truly native not truly web
kiicia··on iOS 17 app sideloading might only be available in Europe
I am aware of that and I hate those apps, because those are worst of both worlds - it works as bad as any overcomplicated web app but they also have access to native apis and information that would be inaccessible through web browser (or at least be blockable)
kiicia··on Inferno-OS: distributed operating system where everything is a file
It was supposed to be used instead of one of android versions (to simplify future updates and disconnect them from manufacturers and cell operators) but it didn’t happened…

kiicia··on Searching for the River of Wind
“The Chicago freeze of 2019 actually began when warm air from Asia found its way up into the stratosphere and forced the normally stolid polar vortex to dissociate into lobes—one of which wobbled down over North America, taking a deep cold meander of the polar jet stream along with it. Called arctic outbreaks, these displacements appear to have become more common in the last half-century, for reasons that researchers are still working to resolve.” Hint: global warming, also great argument against deniers of kind “it’s cold now, where is the warming?” - It is above cold layer, actually displacing it downwards

kiicia··on After a decade, South Dakota's Amish are moving on
You missed whole point that not all people are spiritual or are atheists
kiicia··on After a decade, South Dakota's Amish are moving on
Choosing and picking parts that you like and building chimera out of it is literally ghoulish. You don’t evolve something this way, you are willy-nilly feeding on something.

It’s a bit more nuanced, watch this video in spare time https://youtu.be/tzLS4O7YaUg

Written statement and actual non-public statement are very different for all those religions you mention. If religion is opposing politics it’s only because it wants to be political power on their own…
kiicia··on Commodore Amiga – The Settlers / Serf City: Life Is Feudal (1993)
I've been playing serf city with two mouses (some work was needed to set drivers right under dos) and mouse and joystick. it was awesome.

Source: I’m decades old, somewhere between SzPD and AvPD. Still officially undiagnosed and not treated for it, despite of years of psychiatrical treatment… I just get antidepressants and anti-generalized-fear drugs (dunno what is proper name) and I’m left alone (literally).
