Indeed. And while we're at it take things to their logical conclusion; seriously consider the implications of this tek + combined with 'AI' for not only navigation but for policing decisions.

When you remove the human element from policing, there is thus then no human empathy in the decision to use force ie- to arrest or kill, if that is the 'command' said AI internally commands itself to do.

Remember to stop using VSCode, since it's based on Electron

Agree with that sentiment! But would take it one step further. I argued in 2010 that Adobe should have (could have, would have) launched their own hardware platform. This would have given them & the thousands of loyal Flash devs a more permanent 'final destination' for their apps & games - despite Apple's intentions.

Easier said than done, but fun to think about how things could have played out if Flash was given a dedicated hardware platform and follow on generational iterations ie- today maybe we'd have one more option other than iOS or Android. In fact, an allegience with Microsoft probably would have been best and saved both companies' endevours in the dedicated phone/tablet space but now I'm just spitballing.

further down however, it indicates you may also optionally post onchain ie- to take advantage of a blockchain backed timestamp.

Can you provide a high-level example of how Vapor could be used to facilitate censor-proof content ? (ie- permanent content address by making a transaction on the blockchain plus some other layer/tech you might suggest to ensure said content's immutability & availability)

Why anyone would develop apps for Apple/Google duopoly is beyond me.

Right, I get that you may need the money - but if your livelihood depends on money earned from making this world a worser place perhaps it is time to gut check and determine what really is your purpose and best use of time; maybe (easy) money is not all it's cut out to be in that context.

Not exactly a direct answer, because it is unclear to what degree MS will fork/adapt Chromium for their own, but there is a project called Ungoogled-Chromium which I recommend that does exactly the name implies - evidently there is a need for this because there are a number of services and data exchanges with Google servers in stock Chromium.

Embrace the trend and take responsibility for solving unsolved crime and peacefully bringing about justice and/or resolution (ie- inform the uninformed) to the problems for which you have solved.

You will find drunk salarymen in the evenings yes but seeing them passed out alone outside is very rare in Osaka. Not uncommon on trains however.

Please keep on hacking; doing what you are doing and never stop or be intimidated - you are an inspiration to other hackers who also have viewpoints not accepted by the mainstream.

Ok, fair enough - thanks for the prompt response.
