Might be a bit out of context 😂 Parents can relate.
@a Can you please let me know about where to report Dissenter bugs? All pictures on my website are now blocked https://gospelebooks.net/
Doesn't happen on Chrome.
Can no longer use Dissenter or recommend it until its fixed as it jacks up my website. I mentioned earlier I also cant access /wp-admin with Dissenter.
Enjoyed hearing a secular take on Kanye's conversion and new album.
I watch Tim Pool daily and love getting his opinion. Though he has a different worldview than me, I do agree with many of his thoughts on issues. I definitely encourage you to subscribe to his channel.
Encourage someone today. #BeLikeNathan

@realcaseyrollins I remember reading a real nice story - part of the Jargon File.
This was "The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer". These date to a time when a hacker was a highly skilled MIT computer scientist, working in low level languages and squeezing the most from anemic systems.
You got to read this -- but do it when you are rested, and enjoy, It's a great piece.

The whole Jargon File is great fun. I remember another story on it called the Magic switch, also wonderful reading.
@realcaseyrollins I would refer you to the classic "Jargon File".
Which goes back to when hackers were computer scientists, very brilliant people working at the cutting edge, doing the best with the little power and storage that they could access at the time.
It was seen as a badge of Honour, not a negative implication as a break-in artist of somewhat shady character like the media has been implying for many years now.
"The Meaning of ‘Hack’
“The word hack doesn't really have 69 different meanings”, according to MIT hacker Phil Agre. “In fact, hack has only one meaning, an extremely subtle and profound one which defies articulation. Which connotation is implied by a given use of the word depends in similarly profound ways on the context. Similar remarks apply to a couple of other hacker words, most notably random.”
Hacking might be characterized as ‘an appropriate application of ingenuity’. Whether the result is a quick-and-dirty patchwork job or a carefully crafted work of art, you have to admire the cleverness that went into it."

" The Nighthawk AX12 is an exceptional router. It’s one of the first wave of 802.11ax devices (also known as Wi-Fi 6), offering real-world download speeds of 60MB/sec and more when accessed from a compatible client. What’s more, it’s the first router we’ve ever seen with 8x8 MU-MIMO capability. That means it can smoothly handle up to eight simultaneous wireless connections – perfect for a modern household that’s packed with smart devices.
The catch? All 802.11ax routers are expensive and this one is pricier than most. Sure, the specs are impressive, but are they really worth £360?"

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
