Is there a place where one could offer suggestions for appropriate natural source materials?

Thank you for the links, never heard this, much appreciated.

Unfortunately, with that comes no assistance to your query.

I'm guessing that's because they're forcefully pushing air in opposite directions.

I think that this reflects "real life".

You can go to a pub, spout some nonsense and cross the road and spout it again. Each time you are likely to have a different audience, but there's no guarantee that someone else crossed the road with you.

In the fediverse the same is true. Each community is distinct, even if they're called the same thing and have shared participation.

You can choose to participate in whichever one you want to, or all of them. There's no karma associated with voting, it's about visibility in that community.

If you think it warrants a vote or comment, then do. If you don't, then don't.

There's no right answer here. Do what you think will improve the community you are part of.

Likely it was a tradeoff between various competing and contradictory constraints, most of which will probably never be revealed.

The funniest part of that is that Portugal and Spain share a border. Specifically, Portugal only has one neighbour, Spain, and these two countries speak different languages.

Yeah. No.

I love the (currently one) down vote on your post. Clearly not a connoisseur of René's work.

Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!

Nicely done.

Here's how I do this (for phones and any complex technology acquisition):

  • Make a spreadsheet with a column for each phone.
  • Each row has a different attribute, price, screen size, OS version, warranty, Bluetooth version, etc.
  • I put my current phone in column 2.(Column 1 contains labels) I freeze row 1 and column 1 to make life easier when entering data.
  • Keep adding phones and specs until you've exhausted the ones you care about.
  • Compare phone in column 3 with column 4.
  • Of those two phones, and only those two, which one would you get?
  • Hide the column for the phone you would not get
  • Compare the winner with the phone in the next column, and only those two.
  • Rinse and repeat until you have two phones left, your current phone and the winner.
  • Congratulations, go buy a phone.

Yeah, this story isn't over yet. It has all the hallmarks of drip feeding bad news.

  • First it was a legacy system.
  • Then it was internal Microsoft corporate email.
  • Then it was source code repositories.
  • Then it was emails between Microsoft and Government agencies
  • Now it's password credentials sent by Microsoft to those same agencies.

What's unclear is the source of those credentials emails. Are they from employees at Microsoft sending credentials to clients, or is it automatically generated password reset emails that were exfiltrated?

They've apparently known about this since early January, but it appears that the infiltration has been ongoing since November. It's still happening today.

That's nearly SIX MONTHS of access to internal Microsoft systems.

Just spit balling, but here's a question that nobody is asking:

How do you know when they're no longer in your system?

Here's another:

How do you know that nothing extra was left behind?

Or this one:

Why should anyone ever trust Microsoft ever again?

Or:

What guarantees can Microsoft ever make from here on out?

Given how invasive their Android implementation is on their phones and tablets, I'd be extremely reluctant to go anywhere near a device like this.
