Norton AV wasn't already considered malware?

Uh... Kupo?

Norton (and basically all AVs) are basically the police, they monopolize resources with little justification providing dubious protection and being as bad or worse as the things they're trying to protect you from. They insist they're the good guys while actively doing horrific things by design, and they insist that the solution to all of their problems (that mostly they started) is to let them get bigger and have more backdoors/access/money. Then it turns out the most effective version of it is one that is incredibly lean; so much so that it almost seems to not exist.

A twist on the old formula. The last remnents of humanity rally their remaining forces against the killer rogue AI which is revealed to be an antivirus that got too powerful.

Around 2006 I grew quite fond of Norton Internet Security. It kept the Internet secure by keeping its users off of it.

Well, the original design was to invent money with no use case (dammit all I WANTED Dorian to be Satoshi so bad) so it’s pretty much done it’s job. I guess that is 1 use case though…🤬💩

no, that's bitfinex

binance is the other major exchange with a history of bouncing between non-extraditing dirty-money-offshoring havens and getting hacked & robbed then telling customers "don't worry, we have assets to cover everything, everything's fine, you just can't withdraw your funds right now"

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
