The main issue with bikes in big cities is the blatant bike-theft problem and the near-impunity that thieves seem to enjoy.

We're probably splitting hair but if your concern is DNS hijacking, then that still applies to pretty much anything else you do with Github, and by the way, most of your creds have already probably been stolen via fake logon portals in that case.

I agree, people should check what they are piping in to sh, but they should also read all of the source code they are pulling and compiling from Github.

Well, you're free to run it the way you want, ultimately, whether you curl or you download any other way, you're still running something from the Internet.

Gotta love how Musk brings actual practical solutions to issues that leftists are usually more concerned about, they must hate it. :o)

Same with SpaceX bringing an end to reliance on Russia. Without him, space industry would still be dangerously reliant on Putin.

If they had "always been that way", by definition, you wouldn't be here, because you (or I, or everyone else) being here is the result of a society producing descendants, which itself is the consequence of a society producing couples.

Well, if a recruiter does not hire enough blacks or women for IT, that's discriminatory, and social warriors want quotas.

Why doesnt that apply similarly to young women "discriminating" young men ? Shouldn't we need quotas here ?

Does that logic work for Blacks for instance ?

Correct. But that's not a reason to voluntarily let others use weapons against us. This behavior that you exhibhit, of being a willingful victim, is one of the issues that foreign powers are glad to exploit.

The Cybersecurity concern is valid, and good to address it.

Now on to how TikTok is a weapon clearly aimed at turning a whole generation of kids into zombies. It baffles me that "the West" is blind to that.

Wrong. Scientists trying to get funding for projects exploring things like the impact of sun radiations on earth climate, have a very hard time because of the political rules that are enforced in terms of what's allowed to be looked at and what's not.
