I disagree with your premise that this is all evil corp. The fact is that demand drives housing. Someone is going to buy and build on that property. Full stop.

I am not aware of any fire proofing techniques for homes in a situation like this. References please.

As mentioned above, we've had nearly 100 years of fire suppression practices that kept fuel from burning. I'm not sure how else to mitigate the properties other than clearing all trees and bushes. I don't think it would help in this situation.

I agree that climate change is a problem and a contributing fsctor.

I've been running Chimera for about 8 months and love it. I'm very picky about package managers, and APK is up there with xbps (Void) in performance.

Almost everything I need I can run via flatpack. There are a few apps that I miss. They have a guide for porting them but I got lost last time I tried to get everything setup.

I thought about just running a container for those apps, but got lost in that setup too :). I'm waiting for some winter westher to hit so I have an excuse to stay inside and play with it.

Yeah. So you, myself, and some others are the exception to the rule. But, you can't look at it that way because its a 'lowest common denominator' problem. The least secure of us means we are all only as secure. Others need to be hand held.

It's definitely time to raise all boats and drop SMS 2fa like a hot rock.

We won't know the winner til Thurs eve or Friday. My money is on Friday.

I hope Gen Z shows up. I don't buy into poll results.

Which is exactly why the US is looking at a sale / ban scenario. I doubt it'll ever actually happen.

No argument on US companies not being much better. At least there's some paperwork that gets in the way.

I suggest you read the article, specifically the section "Get flexible with your thinking." :) A Trump win, while disturbing, has a lot of possible outcomes.

No it's not. It's because it, like other Chinese companies, are at risk of being browbeaten by their government into providing whatever information they have on American users to use as they wish. One can easily argue what kind of risk that actually poses, but that's why they're trying to ban it. Unless you have some sort of proof....

I think you elude to it, but just to clarify...VC's and companies have been buying homes like crazy, thus reducing an already anemic inventory.

Totally agree on the opinion section. I think if they want to they can opine on their candidate of choice, but I don't see it as a necessity.

Clearly I can't read....

True. I guess I can't read... Editorials are open season.
