Comment Re:I like Cherry MX Brown (Score 1) 88

Whenever I stopped typing for a moment it was clear how badly I had chosen my latest keyboard. It seems that all this time my previous keyboards have all been enabling my poor technique.

I naturally hold my wrists slightly above and type downwards like playing a piano, but realised I have a habit of resting my hands on the keys when not actively typing.

On these silent mushmellow switches I can't even rest my fingertips with my palms resting on the support pad. Just the weight of these oafish sausage fingers is all it takes to sink slightly deep enough to register as keystrokes.

Browns and Blues FTW!

Comment The real message (Score 1) 114

People keep assuming that there must be some kind of profit-driven fuckery to explain this lunacy. It has to be something other than the bullshit facade they're trying to sell. Perhaps they simply cannot say what the real reason is.

I think the real message cannot be said out loud. It's likely that there's no better way to insert/remove a multi-keyed signing cert (for 3rd party snooping) into the chain without the renewals being fully automated. The meddlesome admins that maintain these systems would start to question why their CA's intermediate signing cert has suddenly changed, yet again, years before it was supposed to expire.

Also, it would really make these and future schemes a lot easier if you would just cooperate and configure everything to stop validating certs like Apple and Google have been for years.

I find it hard to believe that a person infected with a lab leaked COVID could spread it to other people in a densely populated area.
Like, what are the chances that somebody went to somewhere and spread a highly contagious virus among other people?

Get real buddy! Obviously it was those horrible pangobatlins that are out to get us.

Hah, imagine the unfortunate Door Dash driver just standing there for ~10 minutes, patiently waiting for someone to eventually move the already prepared food items from the kitchen window to the delivery driver pick up area.

Oh, wait. That's not imagined, it's a real observation I made while eating lunch yesterday. Yeah those numbers can weave a funny tale sometimes.
