> You just fat-finger less typos today than ever before.

My typos are largely admissible.

I don't agree with the thesis of this post. It is begging the question of if we have to do what computers want.

> Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, ... not because they particularly want to or even need to.

> I have no doubt they will feel incredibly important and satisfying to the people doing them.

How rude.

A Linux tale as old as epoch time.

It was a cold day in Helsinki on January 1st, 1970 and a 4 day old Linus Torvalds knew he had a lot of system configuration ahead of him.

It’s a great thing that this report addresses both space and time!

Thanks for sharing!

What’s the security model for this thing?
