It might not be strictly true in a legal sense, but it hits close to the mark in the case of facebook et al. Their business is the elimination of privacy and selling off the data and attention of their users. It simply would not be a billion dollar business otherwise.

Hobby Lobby or a car manufacturer might find a way to combine civic duties with corporate profits, social media will never be able to. Their entire business model is based on squeezing as much value as possible out of the limited attention span of consumers.
It is not a false choice from either a technical nor a philosophical perspective. There are positive and negative freedoms/liberties and each leads to different results when applied to a real world situation. You view freedom as a negative liberty (e.g. absence of obstacles, barriers or constraints) so anything that hinders your usage of a device in a manner you desire is contrary to your view of 'freedom'. Others may view device freedom as a positive liberty, where freedom is manifested in a way that enables them to take control of their life and realize a more fundamental purpose. If I view a computer as a means of accomplishing some other goal and not a tool that I need to think about much or to modify, but where the existence of such liberties can negatively impact my goal then your version of freedom makes me less free. If I need to spend time and mental energy wondering if some action I take might make my privacy less secure, if some app I install is a threat or a benefit, or if some action a third-party asks me to take is going to subtly invalidate a simple security model I keep in my head, then I am less free.

To dive straight towards the third-rail of this conversation, some people think that being able to go out and buy a gun makes them more free while other people think that the ability of other people (of possibly questionable mental state or moral character) to buy a gun increases the probability that they will be killed by someone else with a gun and because of this they are less free. Both are correct.

If only the market would allow us to make a choice as to which version of freedom we wish to engage in and would provide us with multiple competing platforms that represent alternative visions of computing and informational autonomy. If only...

Ask HN: Free/open semi-private blog?
As part of the whole "moving away from Facebook" category, what is a good answer for the desire to post regular updates or articles to something that only your chosen friends can see?

A database-driven blog with membership accounts is one answer, but you don't necessarily want to force your friends to actually log in and create accounts just for your own blog.

An email list is another option but you'd rather then be able to come to you to read and catch up on their schedule.

Security through obscurity is another option, just setting up a free blog somewhere with no advertising, and mailing the link around, but clearly non-ideal.

So I guess the question is for something federated, open, but where the friend connection is two-way (like facebook) rather than one-way (like twitter), and more long-form than twitter.

There's a word in the Sami language (a culture indigenous to parts of Scandinavia) that describe the state between being awake and asleep: "Adjágas".

Probably should have described it as "remedial education", rather than special ed.

With the family history and the small town phenomena of everybody knowing everybody's business, there were a lot of assumptions made about this young man.
This isn't tax advice, but it's common accounting practice to use a daily average value for trades where you only know the date and not the exact time of the trade. There's plenty of guidance from the IRS since many crypto trade situations have corresponding traditional concepts.

There's no need to add such preposterously inflammatory self-righteousness to your comment, it worked fine without this, but I think you just want people to call you out on it because you believe it but know many people (quite rightly) do not.

And then when you (as you say, inevitably) get called out you can act like you're right because you predicted someone might point out that you're wrong. But that's not really how this works.

krunner also supports opening Kate (the KDE editor, roughly similar to Sublime Text) sessions directly.
Can someone provide any context? What were they writing about?
Interesting. I'm a vim/gvim user myself, outside of IDEs, but I've been trying VS Code recently.

For some of the stuff I do right now it's not as convenient or stylish as tmux + vim (don't laugh about the stylish part - for example I like a minimalist look and I tend to remove all toolbar and VS Code can't do that; well, it can, in Zen mode, but that's also full screen only, sets some other options I don't want, etc.).

For the convenience part, I'd want proper window splits, both horizontal and vertical at the same time and I'd want the panels and windows to become sort of interchangeable. I.e. you'd have 1 universal kind of pane which could host a terminal or a editing window or a problem panel or whatever.

If this is stable enough it might be just what I was looking for :)

Is this based on the VS Code code base? They'd be getting a ton of high quality UI code for free, IMO.

I do like Unity's recent integrations of ProBuilder and TextMeshPro. I don't mean to bash it, but Godot deserves to succeed alongside it given its admirable development and licensing model.

Your stance seems unfalsifiable. If a company did exist that cared more about their values than profit, how would you recognize it?

E-mail is largely centralized now. There's a handful of major companies who are able to run an e-mail service and communicate with the hordes of GMail's users who are living behind GMail's spam filters. (Spam filters, it should be noted, that make the service usable for most people.) So what happened is that decentralization worked for a moment in time, but as the Internet grew it worked less well, and we reinvented the pre-Internet solutions (BBSes/Prodigy/AOL/Compuserve) on top of the open Internet.
Well, they could just make users pay for the service, there is nothing that forces them to collect money from them via the indirect route of ads.

Can you tell me how and where you would broadcast your location via Mastodon? There are no geolocation features in Mastodon.

Has anyone attempted to encrypt a message to 64,000 recipients yet? I don't think restricting a message to followers is an applicable model for e2ee. Direct messages yes, I can see the point in that.
It is worth noting that disabling iCloud backups and iCloud features vastly limits what data Apple ever sees.

According to the Godot docs[1] this doesn't seem to be a priority for them, though I would also love to see Switch support.

Lasy year I had occasion to drive across western Colorado at night in a 22-foot diesel truck. No lights whatsoever except my headlights and those of the rare passerby. Pitch black.

When it's that dark, you lose your spatial sense. A single light approached me, and I realized a motorcycle was driving at me head on. I swerved to avoid it, and the motorcycle changed direction to continue heading for me. When I swerved again, it was too much, and the truck began fishtailing and rocking back and forth laterally. I was sure I was going to tip it. It would have been an utter disaster, especially since I had no cell service out in the middle of nowhere.

As I brought it to a stop, it teetered one last time and almost tipped—then finally, dramatically, landed safely on all wheels.

There was no motorcycle. The lights from the occasional car way off in the distance had merged together into a single light that appeared brighter, and therefore closer. The cars weren't even on the same road; as they rode around a bend the headlights had, in the utter void that I found myself in on these Colorado backroads, created an optical illusion.

After that night I resolved never to drive in darkness like that again.

It is not based on vscode as far as I know, but it does use the vscode language servers and snippets. Regarding splits, if you set "tabs.mode" to "tabs" it will behave just like regular vim tabs, so each "tab" is just a neovim instance that behaves exactly as you would expect it to. There is a feature in development that creates a GUI "tab" for each split[1], but I found it difficult to use so I'm sticking with native vim splits for now.

I would have loved to, but one of the sticking points was that the label file had to be serialized, saved, and later interpolated with data from a bunch of different records, which is why I used svg over canvas, wrote my own editor, etc. jsPDF seems great for imperatively generating a pdf, but not for editing/loading template files. Plus, since the pdf generation had to happen server side, I would have needed a headless browser anyway.

It's super weird, and I've been over it from every direction but I don't know how I could have done it differently.

The Proposed Default Interface Methods in C# 8
I've never found "everybody's doing it" to be compelling.
They didn’t push it. They were just glad something was finally in writing. The alternative was letting the courts and companies battle it out. And all it takes is one bad precedent to fuck everyone. Laws are malleable, they can be massaged through the courts and have to be to be renewed. Precedents are much harder to fix and can only be overturned in a higher court. No one is happy about this, but they are relieved.
It's not really the same use case though, a vscode extension is limited by the vscode API, but I imagine if someone manages to make an extension that is just a wrapper around a neovim process it will be pretty compelling. Making a neovim plugin wouldn't get you the graphical IDE features like an embedded browser and/or graphical debugger.
