Let's also not forget, Nelson Mandela was branded as a terrorist.
The chans in general aren't a huge issue, though nowadays, 4chan in particular IS pretty bad last time I checked.
I also don't like that my comment is at the top of the page it takes away from the article (on my screen it's third from top though).
When someone says "I was raised by the internet", I immediately think: social media addiction, 4chan and other online obscenities. But this is completely based on my own personal experience.
My point here is not related to this lovely post at all, it's just that I always have associated "raised by the internet" with negative connotation.
My thought is it being more expensive is not going to stop gambling addicts since they are already willing to lose heaps of money by making the bet in the first place.
I agree about banning ads 100%.
The Quran, which id consider among those as a "Holy book" condemns gambling pretty outright multiple times.
Under the hood its basically running an nmap scan and spitting out a PDF report.

This is just a HTTP/REST api? These exist already.
These two statements make little sense together. It was originally developed by the Navy. Okay. So why would they design it from the get-go with such a fatal flaw that would risk their own adversaries gathering "actionable intelligence" from it?
I'd like to stress if we're talking about the Navy's involvement, then you're questioning the design of the whole thing from the very beginning, not just the current implementation.
I'm not sure if this is the case in this case, but it might be worth noting that some system functions with the same name have drastically different internal/implementation differences between Linux/*BSD/MacOS. With there being differences between the *BSDs too.
So on some systems one function call is "the way", because its been maintained over the years, but then on another it might actually be old and not useful.
> it feels like something has gone terribly wrong.
I don't meant to be rude, but I am going to be: have you had your head in the sand for the last.. decade and a half? Something has gone terribly wrong and it's late stage capitalism.
Well... just rig the machines again to give out $23,000 to the players over a handful of games!
Now maybe if you're talking about using it for SSH, then it gets slightly more tricky depending on your config. Then again, it's definitely under 10 steps to set that up as well.
I'm a young man, but I'll definitely be using some of these in the future as I'm very early in my tech career.
Please don't use your anecdata to lump all depressed people into this bucket. I've been depressed for over a decade (diagnosed MDD) and this does not reflect me or my actions at all. In fact I've felt insanely guilty that my mood affects the others around me. This just causes me mask the depression, making me less likely to reach out to anyone when things get bad.
I guess I'd be what you'd call high-functioning depression. I've lived with it for so long its all I know. I moped my way to school, I did my work poorly, barely passed. Now I mope my way to work and I work and when I'm not burnt out I do a good enough job and then I go home and cry and go to sleep.
I would love to spend all day in bed, mostly because I'm constantly tired, and mostly because it's far more comfortable than doing anything else. But I have enough will and discipline to get up and do normal shit even if I'm cripplingly sad, bored, tired, and sometimes even teary eyed all day.
As for exercise, it helps me immensely! But I have in no way been cured by exercise alone.
