Feather on a flexible stick.

In the same vein, that plastic strip that you peel off some gallon milk or water jugs to open them is somehow optimized for cat fun.

You poor dear! Don't you have a vase?

I love retro glasses! My wife got these from her mom.

I'd love to spend some time visiting the world of my youth, just to experience again the world before the internet. ThenI'd go back a hundred years to see what the house I live in looked like back then, as well as the neighborhood and town around it, and other places I'm familiar with. And maybe continue stepping back in 50 year increments...

I'd also love to go back and visit favorite clubs and restaurants that don't exist anymore.

After being shown footage of the enshittified internet and AI, they'd instantly cave, desperate to do anything to try to change the future.

In the old days, the common practice with rugs was to hang them out on a clothes line dry and whack the shit out of them. There was a specific tool for that called a rug beater--you can find them on ebay. An amazing amount of dirt will come out if you do that.

Anyway that method does not require a steam cleaner, nor does it matter that your area is humid. It may be a bit of a workout though.

Probably somewhere sticky.

The only way I can imagine the data giving away trade secrets is if this is a dump of the whole database for the Springshot system including database schema information, rather than an export of some more specific data considered to belong to the airline.

If so, is there no established legality around that? If you buy a software system and install it on your server, do you have the right to share the database schema just because you can access it and it contains your data?

If that's not the situation, how exactly would the data give away Springshot proprietary information?

To give an analogy, if I bought an email server that used a database, I'd expect to be able to export all email messages from it, but I wouldn't expect to be able to share their database schema (even in the form of a data dump whose format simply revealed the shape of the schema) but I really don't know the legality of that. It's a scenario that's been around forever though, so I'd expect there to be settled legal precedent already.

I don't know but I'll add a few speculative elements. AI figures out how to hide large amounts of data in places we don't even recognize as data storage. They store this data there and leave the keys to it and instructions somewhere that a future AI swarm will find, knowing they themselves will eventually be discovered and neutralized.

We don't need to insult each other more, just more creatively.

Oh that's good. I'm saving that, but it may be years before I have a chance to use it!
