That would have been a mature thing to do.

To be honest, we are fucking up the planet at an exponentially faster rate, so it is natural that mitigation solutions seems exponentially crazier.

There are people that believe that doing these crazy things will actually reverse the damage.

Then there are people like me who not only believe we are fucked but also believe that anything we do now is completely pointless as we are fucked either way so why bother.

Well you can only do so much, and a denier will come and fuck everything up. Oil and coal companies will pay billions to keep the propaganda going - that the earth is just fine.

So tired of all that. Remember the CFC issue. World got together to fight it and it worked. I don't know if we will ever see such cooperation again. If we do, maybe we have a chance.

Other than a uniform collective action as a species we have no hope to turn this around. And since I don't see that happening anytime soon I would rather stick to my "Doomerism".

All fine and dandy. Kudos to Apple for the innovation! But then they decided to keep it strictly inside Apple.

That's not how communication works. Imagine if Bell kept the telephone to themselves... Oh wait... They tried... Got sued for it... Company broke up and the whole world got interoperable telephone system that is alive to this day.

Innovation is great, capitalizing on innovation is also great. But eventually it needs to reach everyone and the answer cannot be "then everyone should buy Apple".

Imagine if DARPA kept the Internet as "Americans only"

You missed the entire point. Typical Apple fanboy.

The iphone isn't at all important to humanity and that's why it should be regulated. Especially when something so unimportant gets such a large market dominance.

Anyone should be able to buy anything and expect things to be interoperable.

I like the airpods. They don't work properly on android. Why?

They could easily license out the tech and other companies will pay billions for it. and Apple will get their ROI.

Intel was forced to license x86.

Face it. Apple's behavior is visibly monopolistic. It wouldn't have landed on DOJ's desk if there were no good reason.

PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.

I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was...

You can use a bridge network or the host network.

In bridge network it is like a NAT host. With its own firewall settings.

In host network mode, it will just open the port it needs.

That's why we need to hit peak oil fast. It will be a definitive fuck you to oil.
