How do federated networks prevent someone from making a few hundred accounts and starring/liking a bunch of posts?
Let's break this down.

You're implying that 6 city councillors, elected and paid into the position are inherently not trustworthy enough to manage city funds, simply by vice of being part of government?

And yet, Amazon, who will spend nothing on these schemes and are even less accountable than the councillors, will make better use of it?

This sounds like you want to eliminate all government and tax.

Would be amusing to see I suppose.
I don't understand this.

But you don't just store social media ids.

You seem to misunderstand that you're entering into a partnership with a third party. They become a data processor on your behalf. They process a whole lot more, and you have access to a lot of that data. Fortunately, the social media platform includes the privacy policy and consent process in their onboarding of users, so you don't need to worry about it for the purposes of social login.
Stopping spam and bots is fine, but I'm not a spammer or a bot and I'm still banned.

Reddit can do better than this, and doesn't market itself as a "no censorship" alternative. Voat should be doing even better than reddit.

> It made trying to find a snack incredibly difficult, I basically had to eat carrots and hummus.

And fruits, I hope? :-)

Also, you mention carrots, but there's lots of other vegetables that taste nicely when eaten raw that require little to no preparation time. I recognize that this is not mainstream at all but lately I've begun eating all kinds of vegetables as a snack. Eg iceberg salad: if you take the outer 5 or so leaves off, then the rest has not usually been touched by pesticides, so you can just eat that without all the washing cutting prep etc. I've found that just putting an iceberg salad next to my keyboard works exactly the same as just putting a bag of crisps there: when i look up an hour later, it's all gone.

Similar tricks: pointed red peppers only need washing, and then you can eat them as if they're a mars bar. The seeds are only at the very end. bags of pre-cut lettuce. Also, way too few people are aware that cauliflower tastes great raw. It's a bit of work to clean (but not too bad) but cauliflowers tend to be huge so you can cut one into pieces, put the pieces into four bags and bring a bag every next day or so. It also stays good super long.

I also like cabbage (you can also remove the outer leaves and eat the rest without washing), but it has a pretty strong taste and I recognize that this might not be for everyone :-)

I agree -- to an extent.

Some of the skills learned in big mature organisations tend to be very narrow and specific to the tools that the big organisation uses.

Some ... but not all.

The man-management and general engineering skills are still pretty transferable.
Of course, if you're going to offload hosting, GDPR concerns, or just your own backup peace of mind to the Internet Wayback Machine, don't forget to say thank you - https://archive.org/donate/
I agree, especially on your last point. Even when I think of my own career highs and lows, most of the highs has to do with lucking out with being given a chance or opportunity. By contrast, most of the lows has to with being denied a chance or opportunity. Of course you have to take advantage of any opportunity and work hard for it to pay off. But being lucky enough to be in the RPART is, huge!
Another problem I see with capitalism is that since competition is the prevailing theme, there is a sort of "fog of war" about.
How to Download All Your Apple Data
Oculus Medium truly blew me away, I've tried sculpting in the likes of Zbrush, Mudbox etc before and it's never really clicked. But being able to actually use your hands in 3D space with Medium is probably one of the most magical computing experiences I've had since first touching an iPhone.

Highly recommend people giving it a go if you get a chance.

Diesel Scandal Deepens as German Authorities Target Audi Chief and Daimler
I'd argue that running a webserver on a VPS/Raspberry/etc, with no logs, serving a static site or a wget mirrored version of that site is better - you still own the site, but if you don't store any information of your visitors at all, in any form, there's no way GDPR will bite you.
I find these kinds of quizzes fun, but I absolutely hate when I can't see my results at the end of it. I'm glad to know you think I should be making $225k (that would be nice), but I'd like to see the results of the quiz!! Otherwise I just wasted 10 minutes.

Also, if anyone wants to pay me $225k, hmu.
Ultimately, who cares who's morally right or wrong? Lets skip the drama and try to see the legal angle, with the goal of figuring out a way to "save" the source code (of possible).

The way I see it (with my limited legal knowledge, IANAL) is that Daniel Micay got paid for his services, and therefore the copyright is assigned to the company behind CopperheadOS. I'm not sure if Daniel can be fired, that'd depend on the legal entity of CopperheadOS (for example, in a general partnership both partners bear responsibility and liability which levels the playing field). I tried looking it up on the homepage, but I've been unable to figure that out. What is the legal entity behind the company "Copperhead Security"?

There is already quite a good plugin available by Berkman, Harvard University related to what author's idea seem to be. It works with Drupal as well as Wordpress upon which I worked as my GSoC project (nginx/httpd modules as well). http://amberlink.org

It use Archive and local copies as backend, while had ideas to support IPFS among others.

What Amber does?

Amber is an open source tool for websites to provide their visitors persistent routes to information. It automatically preserves a snapshot of every page linked to on a website, giving visitors a fallback option if links become inaccessible.

If one of the pages linked to on this website were to ever go down, Amber can provide visitors with access to an alternate version. This safeguards the promise of the URL: that information placed online can remain there, even amidst network or endpoint disruptions.
That project looks interesting.

Here's what I'm looking forward to: a world where energy<>pollution.

This whole period where energy production as our greatest environmental problem has promoted the wrong type of thinking. It's Energy austerity, the need to take steps back, slow or reverse progress.

Since technology, industry and energy are so closely coupled, this has almost made futuristic thinking politically incorrect, or at least unpalatable. I want to get back to a future that's futuristic, where we can build 100X bigger, desalinate sweetwater rivers, have floating stuff all around us....

Basically, I want to get back to the old curve, where we make more energy every year and that's a good thing.
You need a sculpting app that uses voxels to do that in a way that feels effortless, check out 3D Coat or Oculus Medium.
As no one is talking about the design of this icon library, let me be the first.

These icons are 'okay', but none of the examples show sizes less than 48px. The frontpage, uses even larger sizes.

Under 16px width, the icons are difficult to distinguish--even from one another. The color choice of high contrast combinations exacerbates this because it uses zebra striping within the element, rather than using contrast to help distinguish the borders.

If you are planning on using this lib, keep that in mind and use the icons in the largest possible format--perhaps for branding pages. I wouldn't use it for complex application UI, especially not on mobile.

A dream would be to have onshore and offshore windmills where it makes sense, solar panels on most residential and commercial roofs, panels serving as roofs for car parking lots, hydro power generators where water flow needs to be regulated, and to supported such a renewable power generation - connected micro grids with local battery warehouses to serve as a power buffer.

Some centralised govt provided services could be run on "excess power" such as pumping water to a overhead storage for a local community, or powering a water purification or sewage cleaning plant to run during periods of excess power.

Now, I need to wake up and go get a coffee :-)
Your computer belongs to you. My data belongs to me. I can give you my data and you can keep that data if you tell me what you are going to keep it for and how you are going to use it and when I agree with all of that, but you don't get to abuse it for anything else and I can revoke that permission at any moment and you have to comply.

It's not "imposing requirements", it's called "respecting consent".

The more I hear arguments like this the more it reinforces my impression that "hacker culture" isn't really about experimenting with technology but more about self-entitled rich kids abusing other people and shared property for their own fun and profit (like young Zuckerberg marveling at being trusted with access to people's private information without understanding the implied mutual understanding his users assumed to be self-evident).

I feel like the GDPR is the Code of Conduct of privacy laws: it codifies a modicum of respect that should need not explicit mentioning but seems to have been entirely lost on entire generations of (aspiring) Silicon Valley hacker types and thus catches them by surprise when it really should be the least you can do.

At the very least you are now aware that when you're violating your users' privacy (if only by handing off their data to random BigCo's you have no formal contract with) you're breaking the law just as clearly as those cool '80s kids were breaking the law when they whistled into phones to cheat their way to free phone calls.
Past time (20 years ago) programmers yes. Today's programmers? No.

The economics of hardware are very different now. In the 90s you might have a SPARCstation or an SGI on your desk at work, amazing gear you could never have afforded for yourself. Now you can easily buy a home PC that’s better than any corporate model.

I’m sure it’s still true in some industries, 3D printing maybe, but not in software anymore.

According to article, researchers themselves pushed guards toward being more aggressive on multiple occasions. E.g. resulting behavior was not just what emerged in absence of external control, but what emerged when you authority explicitly pressures guards to be tough and legitimize or praises that behavior.

Any recommendations for a self-hosted alternative for Google Photos?
As I explored in an other comment, it used to be that once married the community viewed the family as a single entity and as such the money did not belong to a single person but rather to the family. Very similar, debt also did not belong to a single person but was an property of the family and in cases of death of the parents it also transfered to the children. From the banks PoV, it was a reasonable position to take that it was every family members responsibility to uphold the family honor and repay any debt.

This 18th century view was thankfully mostly abolished by later centuries. We don't see children going into debt slavery just to repay their parents or grandparents sins. An other 18th century concept is that children starved and died if they did not have a supporting family. There was no welfare state or no social net. A major progress in the way government operates today is that government operates on individuals. The PoV of the state is that there is individuals that need food, healthcare, and social support. Those individuals could be a child in which a lack of essential needs cause the state to bring in social services. The family is only a factor when evaluating the available support an individual has, but in the end its the individual that the government focus on. 18th century marriage law did not look at the individual, and as such it made sense that marriage was a single entity that formed a family which members had legal responsibility to each other. The state issued the laws that defined a family, the family protected each member, and the chain of command (and law) was simple, clear and established.

That's an option, but not necessarily the sole one. This problem isn't new. I'd say its one of the primary reasons why a general partnership is a legal entity, or a good choice in this case [1]. It'd level the playing field between both partners, creating a mutual interest from an authority higher than themselves (ultimately, the government). I'm not saying it is without problems though (imagine one of the partners becomes terminally ill).

Another option would've been to call it earlier, before burn-out, when it turned out there was no market for this. If people don't wanna pay or donate for the product, there's no demand apparently. No need to work for a minimum wage. Get a regular job, and use your leisure time as you see fit (for EXAMPLE on a project like this but without pressure or obligation).

> Though I'm deeply disappointed in how many large sites have interpreted "opt in" as spending 5 minutes vigorously unchecking boxes with ambiguous meaning, hopefully that will bite them hard.

The fun part about that one is actually that the "opt in" by default is a blatant violation of the GDPR when that's supposedly what they're trying to to comply with. If you're in the EU, make sure to file a complaint with your data protection agency (e.g. in the UK that's the ICO, in Germany that's your Landesdatenschutzbehörde).
It is funny but you know there is an invention to the problem you just mentioned: It is called a "Hotel". For cost conscious people it is called a "Hostel" or a "Guest House".

The reason Airbnb is cheaper is because users are running afoul of the laws and possibly taxes.

Have you checked the Airbnb listings? Very little people are sharing their places. Most of the people are running this as a business. Many of them are not either there and delegate the key to another third-party.

It is a mess. And I'm not against it (I'm not a legal citizen of every country). But it is not fair to have registered hotel who comply with rules and pay taxes. And have Airbnb. You'll have to pick.

Finally she came across a floral symbol that was used in Sweden to indicate an interesting feature or attraction in a campground.

Organic sugar isn't a panacea, it's still almost completely sucrose and organic sucrose is absolutely chemically identical to non-organic. It often tastes way better, but it's a stretch to assign significant health benefits to it.

By all means, steer clear of HFCS (operative word: fructose, not sucrose). It's probably less bad than it's reputation suggests, but its also probably worse than sucrose. More pertinently, it's indicative of cheap, low-quality food that has way too much sweetener because it otherwise has no flavour.

But more on point for this thread: Don't replace a food that shouldn't have sugar in it at all (mayonnaise) with a variant that just has a different kind of sugar. Find a variant that is better quality and doesn't have sugar at all. Good mayonnaise requires really good eggs and those are expensive.

If you're using Google Analytics, you're paying for the analytics by letting them abuse your users. You can get some protection by using their anonymisation setting and signing a data protection addendum.

If you really want to be on the safe side and respect your users' privacy, the best choice is self-hosting a free analytics tool like Matomo (formerly Piwik). Of course you still need to make sure your hosting company respects your users' privacy too.

It's literally not the GDPR's fault if you're having problems protecting your users' privacy. It's the network effect of entire ecosystems of companies never having had any concern for privacy over decades. Don't complain to the EU, complain to companies not implementing privacy by default and only trying to shoe-horn it in as an afterthought.
This is what worries me the most about taking the plunge, not the videos I've seen of it being done, not the potential side effects, just the fact that I could seriously screw my eyes up by rubbing them after the fact.
