Mostly because I’m not the most competent techie, I’ve been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving “books” around on devices that are very out of date.

Pffftt… coward.

When you hit the “Olde Fortran” too hard one night.

Well… sometimes people actually and honestly thoroughly read and article. The might even go back and reread it.

Other people read an article but by read they skim the first few sentences of each paragraph and skip to the next one unless it seems like the rest of the paragraph might have more useful context.

Other, other people will read as far as the headline or mmaaayyybbbee the first few paragraphs and decide to drop a post about it.

So… “read” instead of read seemed more appropriate in this context.

Interesting articles probably don’t need to be “read” by the poster before they’re posted.

I’m a lazy person, and stick to my echo chambers pretty solidly so having a bit of the “outside” trickle in is fine.

I had to read this twice before I realized it wasn’t about lemmy.world.

This is some bullshit.

Profitability might not be the issue, neither are supposed to function solely to make a profit. From the linked blog post, referencing an email, it is stated that its costing more than the revenue can support.

From a general internet search:

c(3)'s can’t engage too much (or at all) in legislative stuff but a c(6) can

c(3)'s are supposed to do things to help a group outside of itself while c(6)'s are supposed to exist to support their members

c(6)'s aren’t required to report personal information of a person/entity making a donation to the IRS or public

Would removing anonymity from email reduce or remove this threat? If business blocked all uncertified email senders, would this threat be gone?

So as a goober that keeps getting jobs where my employer mandates that I am assigned an email address from their private email system, is told to “practice cyber security awareness” blah blah blah, and then is immediately spammed by internal emails with a shit ton of links (from people who are strangers to me but actually work for the same employer) from inside the org, I don’t think removing anonymity would eliminate the threat. I’m being habituated into opening, reading, and encouraged to click links from “strangers” by my employer.

It might make it easier to for an attacker to ID a target though.

Depends on what kind of programing your doing and what kind of projects your working on.

As a person who isn’t great a programming, has no real use for it in my daily life and forgets everything I’ve learned, and has pretty much given up on trying to remember what little I ever knew I was able to make a program that used Excel, an Excel compatible version of a grocery store’s main supplier’s invoices, and USB barcode scanner to greatly speed up checking in the 10+ pallets of stuff that would come in three days a week.

Pretty much the only math I can remember needing to use was “add +1 to value stored in incrementerVariable”.

Also, as far as programming goes, you can be bad at math so long as you can remember that there is a formula to do a thing. Nobody is expecting you to remember a pile of equations, only that they exist and how to look them up when you need them.

Less “get in to” and more “all my shit is so old basic things on the internet were not working any more if I left it running XP or 7”.

There’s no easy way to make this into an actual business proposal… probably to the point that it isn’t possible at all.

The tactic I could think of, if I were to NEED to do this… would be to try to find some way to argue on the grounds of some of the Ethical Altrusim stuff (I’m not a proponent of this stuff but… devil’s advocate time).

You’d get a bunch of rich EA’s to invest a shit ton of money on the regular, you take this money to pay the licensing fees or fees for use on other copyrighted research and technical manuals and then charge as close to zero as you can get away with for the individual users accessing the licensed/copyrighted work. The argument being, “more people having access to quality research and technical documentation will be a net positive for humanity and the return on investment will be measured in thousands of years in the future.”
