In general, no, you will not be provided services at no cost. If you want to go back to the post office, they will require you to buy stamps.

If you won't pay cash, then you have to pay data.

If I went into a court and told the judge that I didn't have to do what he ordered me to do, I don't think it would take tap weeks for the judge to decide that he should consider holding me in contempt. I think I'd be in custody within 15 minutes.

This covers my thoughts about damn near every "helpful" feature this side of auto-complete email addresses.

What is it that you're concerned about? Assume that I have no idea what either the new or old Mozilla privacy policy is, please. I tend to assume that all such are a pack of lies and everything is spying on me.

Hummm. No boob jokes. This might be legitimate.

It probably does, but you've got too limit yourself to just one flavor. American antisemites are not gonna get on with Muslim antisemites.

This has almost always been true, we just don't say it out loud. Our top military tech has a "home" version and an "export" version.

Seems you understood the spirit of it.

I'm reasonably sure that the level of leadership that's running carriers is still mostly competent.

Of course, President Musk might decide to go down there and take personal charge of the carrier group. That might be fun.

Larry Niven is not up everyone's taste, but I find that his Laws, such as they are, stand up reasonably well. On writing, he said this:

f you've nothing to say, say it any way you like. Stylistic innovations, contorted story lines or none, exotic or genderless pronouns, internal inconsistencies, the recipe for preparing your lover as a cannibal banquet: feel free. If what you have to say is important and/or difficult to follow, use the simplest language possible. If the reader doesn't get it, then let it not be your fault.

I wish this was taught in schools.
