@hollyhoneychurch so temperature wasn’t the driver .. in Loch Lomond ……. Makes a note.

@devilgate I found it an interesting piece .. i am not steeped in the genesis of the prayer .. so thought nothing of it .. and then you raised it .. which got me to thinking if it was yet another example of a perfectly good meaning being flipped on its head for no reason.

@devilgate American Football has a lot to answer for.

🔗 Adobe Diddles With Your /etc/hosts File

> They’re using this to detect if you have Creative Cloud already installed when you visit on their website.

> They didn’t have to do this, of course. In fact, quite obviously, they definitely should not be doing this. Adobe is just a third-party developer, no better, no more trusted, no more important than any other. Imagine if every piece of software on your computer added entries to your /etc/hosts file. Madness. Adobe should be ashamed of themselves. Adobe used to be a bastion of best practices for developers to follow. Now their installer/updater is indistinguishable from malware.

@lmika just messing around in my head with meaning.

@lmika a single person is niche .. Simon Williso on posting about kiwi parrots .. far and wide or niche?

@hollyhoneychurch ‘almost’ is the key word that recognizes your keen insights in the decision making process.

@lmika Depends what b how you define niche .. I am 1 person in a sea of 8.5 billions … and counting. That’s pretty niche. If I find it interesting, useful, funny … and I have the time .. I will post.

The work of Steven Wilson, a quote from Russell, a movie review an essay on the role of structured thought in the world of AI to some might seem broad .. to me it is all connected.

@bradenslen I don’t think he needs any help.
