Well, what a surprise. For the first time I feel smug about not having a phd, much education or common sense

Yes, hopefully in a couple of weeks

We don’t know the details yet. Maybe they have a great new tool; perhaps they picked projects that are not maintained so well.

It will be awesome if they found bugs in curl, not so good to show if they picked my project.

What they did will be revealed in time

They found ten issues, but how many hours spent filtering out the false positives?

I’ll reserve judgement until after the bugs are published. Until then, I am expecting minor issues only

A huge percentage of the population is medieval age thinking

I have envied people who are fully aware and alert and ready when they wake up.

For me, it takes longer than a few minutes

Not much has changed in Washington DC the last several generations except the average IQ. It’s dropped recently and I blame lead

10 months, 2 weeks, 6 days and 12 hours since I was saved and accepted the one true language (not)

I think it was ok. The fans saw it, but the novelty of superhero movies has evaporated. And Superman was better.

The term confuses me in politics: it seems to have too many meanings; and even the agreed definitions are flexible.

Historically, democracy only allowed free males who were land owners to vote. A minority.

In the last few generations the wealthy have come up with clever ideas to hold onto power while expanding the vote to the majority.

So, I think Democracy is defined by periodically changing some of the government by the voting of some people. And the votes must be counted in front of witnesses.

This is my definition of democracy only; and not me arguing for it, personally I don’t think it works well enough

Yes, as practiced it’s mostly theatrics and the working class does not take power due to many controls and mental conditioning.

Democracy gives the illusion of control.

But many of these countries are by definition democracies

Yes: As long as people can vote, kick the other government out, and replace it with worse, maybe better.

I think where the confusion lies at, is the very definition of democracy. Democracy does not mean good governance or even particularly fair treatment. It had nothing to do with socialism or helping the disadvantaged. It simply means it can be replaced using voting.

I think the democracies of the west are overhyped oligarchies; but they are democracies

One is a quickly developing powerhouse.

The other is a democracy. It’s main opposition party had promised to allow porn again and is wildly successful

As with many things it’s about personal wealth and power. Any “defensive” planning and movement ultimately moves money from the working class.

Because of uk-usa relations, I imagine more money went to the American rich than the British wealthy.

I completely judge. Perhaps I am not politically correct, but we all have limits

Heh, I was managing tabs on Firefox a generation ago
