The VPN software he had to use to talk to Mossad was only available for Windows.

It would also seem that the article’s existence violates Wikipedia’s “no conflicts of interest” policy and the entire list of sources violates the “no self-published sources” rule. I propose the article be deleted. Thoughts?

It really raises eyebrows when you come across users who have posted nothing but aggressively anti-US anti-NATO anti-EU stuff for several years straight. No other interests. Nobody talks about politics nonstop. Nobody. It’s straight up bizarre.

The part of the tech stack that handles all these command editing and navigation shortcuts is the readline library. Check out man readline. There’s an entire section on searching. readline is used for lots of other interpreters, too.

The CEO of Socket is this guy. I’m not sure that someone with those credentials would be heading a company engaged in what basically amounts to racketeering. Though, I suppose he might be unaware it’s happening. The company has many investors, any of who would benefit from creating an environment that supports the company’s existence without the awareness of any of the employees. But it’s clear this isn’t some scam operation run by desperate people out of India, which was my first thought from reading your comment. There are reputable people with their reputations at stake. It would be a Theranos-level scandal if what you say was actually determined to be occurring. So, on the one hand, there are reputations at stake, and, on the other hand, Silicon Valley is not incapable of committing fraud.

KDE’s Plasma Desktop has a web search plugin that I use all the time. Typing the Win (Super) key followed by wp:Sistine Chapel and then the Enter key brings me straight to the Wikipedia entry on the Sistine Chapel. imdb:Jurassic Park brings me to the IMDb page for Jurassic Park. yt: will search YouTube, and so on. There are around 200 keywords pre-programmed into it, including for searching programming language documentation. Unlike the Windows feature displayed here, it doesn’t use the network unless you specify a prefix and it accesses only the service you specify by the keyword. Whoever added this feature had to do so very little work compared to the payoff. It just takes the part after the colon and inserts it into a search URL for the corresponding service and opens that URL in the browser. It’s very convenient. None of this web search stuff comes up when you’re just searching for apps and there are no surprises.

Pure rent seeking. It’s not the only example. So many products have artificial defects deliberately added by the manufacturer so that they can then charge you to disable the defect.

At some point, we’re going to have to have verified real human identity crap because the present situation of having to question everything I come across on the internet and essentially CAPTCHA myself to everyone every time I post is giving me a level of stress that makes me want to log off forever and I can’t be the only one.
