Nobody said he was trying to antagonize nonbinary people. The problem is how he responded when people told him he had.

People having preferred pronouns is a new idea in most English speaking cultures because intersex, transgender, and nonbinary identities are new ideas in most English speaking cultures. Stallman doesn't use an older generation's standard. He says we should respect other people's gender identities by using the appropriate pronouns.[1]

Many people felt singled out when Facebook insisted on full and legal names, for what it's worth.[2]

Confirmed. I could do that, because all the keys had a small set of functions and input delays were entirely predictable (a benefit of running soft real-time firmware instead of a "regular" OS). And, of course, they were all actual keys. It's easy to develop muscle memory in such conditions.

>>Owners are usually unable to repair the machines themselves - or find anyone else to do it at a decent price

That's just a result of high labour cost in western countries though. Parts for appliances are usually pretty cheap, it's getting a specialist to come out that costs an arm and a leg. A heating element for an oven will be like £40, but good luck finding someone to come out and fit it for less than £80-100. Considering you can buy a brand new oven for as little as £200(with free delivery) the option to replace something instead of repairing it is unsurprisingly tempting. The further East you go the cheaper the labour gets, so it's normal that a repair that's completely unreasonable in the UK is actually pretty reasonable in Poland or Slovakia - the same part fitting would cost you maybe 50-100PLN(£10-20)? So actually the parts are almost always more expansive than labour.
> individuals are simply not able to repair themselves in most cases

This is the problem that needs to be addressed. The right to repair is not only about quality, price or durability. It is also a philosophical and strategic standpoint?

So, now we've reached the point where public figures are expected to resign over the crime of being a bad houseguest?

What's next? Accusations that Guido van Possum can't parallel park? Handwringing over Rob Pike's poor penmanship? Twitter threads collecting all the instances where Tim Berners-Lee was seen with food stuck between his teeth?

More and more the whole Stallman affair just seems like a desperate search for an ex-post facto justification. Like fire him first, then figure out the exact reason later.
Honestly I don't think you gain more then a few dollars when you make the components a few mm thinner.

I don't think the customers are a big force here, from my experience is the same part that breaks first but is there a strong enough incentive for the producer to investigate the issue and make that part stronger? If the customer will buy a new product or a new part that is extremely expensive then the producer is encouraged to engineer that part to break exactly when the warranty is over.

I have a question, maybe someone here knows the answer, why are everyone make a new model each year that most of the time seems to be a redesign that brings nothing new, As an example I use same keyboard model and each time I buy a replacement it has changed a bit in design and internals, making them almost incompatible for salvaging components from one and fixing other)
> Consumers don't want to spend more for appliances. They want cheap.

Many consumers are smart enough to understand that 'cheap' is a property calculated over the lifetime of the product.

A professor of mine with a long, difficult foreign last name starting with K had legally changed his name to Dr. K by the time I took a class with him. I'm guessing everyone called him that anyway, so he made it legal.

An Asian friend of mine with a difficult foreign name went by her initials -- I mean the initials of her first and middle name, plus her last name. Sort of like if JK Rowling were called JK by her friends.

With Google in particular, I feel like you can tell when a new lead takes over a product. I imagine leading a product is a career move at Google, people move on and new folks take over, diluting the original vision of simplicity, functionality and magic of early Google products.

In Google Maps on Android, the status bar is now transparent, and important information like clock, battery status, connection quality and incoming messages are now drawn on top of the map. I'm sure that looks great in a presentation but now those little icons have little, and varying contrast and are hard to decipher.

>manufacturers must label expected lifetime ... I am opposed

Everything is already value engineered, designed for a specified lifetime, that's how we get those low prices and low material use. Labeling would just make it explicit. I work in an oil pipeline design group and even these things have expected lifetimes (30 years). So even megaprojects like bridges, skyscrappers, aircraft carriers, everything designed has an expected lifetime.
Good for you. Many people cannot do it. Are not capable of bootstrapping. They will live and die in misery because you and others like you put your ideology ahead of reality and people.

Just look at how well you wrote your words. You are functionally literate and comfortable with technology.

When you moved and lived in a tent, did your spouse and children live there too? Who looked after the children while you were job hunting, given that your social support network was back where you used to live? Where did you get your medication during that time? I guess you had a health advantage. You were also lucky nobody came looking for the money you owed them.

I've used calorie counting before, and I don't think it's hard to do - just a bit inconvenient. Having a little digital scale helps a lot. Measuring out the calories in a recipe can be a pain, but people tend to repeat the same recipes. It's inconvenient in the beginning, but gets better once you've already calculated most of your standard recipes. There are apps that will help you track it. Pack a lunch or buy something with a known number of calories.

If you only rarely go out to restaurants, just give the meal your best estimate and don't worry about it too much. If you eat out every day, it'll be hard to estimate. Fast food chains are often (ironically?) helpful here because many of them list the calories in their meals.

You don't really need to estimate your calorie expenditure. Just keep your activity level roughly even, count calorie intake, and track your weight. If your weight doesn't decrease after a couple weeks, subtract a couple hundred calories from your intake. Eventually, you'll get a deficit and your weight will decrease.

The environmental aspect plays a big part in these things. These days it's popular to point out that the major polluters are not the individual consumers but the factories owned by the industrialists however these factories are not busy producing jewellery for the rich but stuff for the millions of consumers.

Europe is very densely populated and well developed with much less developed neighbours which makes Europe very suspectable to environmental issues. If something bad happens in or nearby the continent, people in Paris or Rome can feel it through rent increase, a saturation of health services, an influx of people who somehow should be dealt with. If bombs go off in Syria things happen in Hungary. The place is very interconnected.

EU has to deal with the protection of the environment just like any other issue that can cause large migrant movemenets. Throwing away things when you don't have to, inefficient appliances etc. are all stuff that must be addressed to preserve the peace in the continent. Europe's contemporary way of life is quite fragile.
The “free love” movement of the 1960s and 1970s, as I understand it, did not really have people widely using condoms. It was assumed that women were on the pill or used a diaphragm.

Condoms only really became a thing in the 1980s, when the AIDS epidemic hit the world.

Your post gives me a lot of hope; I really hope that we can reverse the trend of people, particularly young people in their 20s, having sex less and less. [1]

I personally would not partake in such a free love movement, but I really want to see, post-#MeToo, a world where it’s OK for a man to sexually desire a woman, as long as he also sees her as a person with feelings, is not being manipulative to get sex, and fully respects consent.

Also, I personally saw no professors being involved, although I might be mistaken.

The relative amounts of sodium and potassium in blood regulate blood pressure.
Too much sodium can increase blood pressure and high blood pressure is a major
cause of cardiovascular disease.

This is a well-understood process with much data to back it up and it will
take a lot more than one meta-analysis of 6k people to provide evidence
against it.

Note also a common mistake of studies that test correlations between a factor
such as salt and a health outcome like CVD or death: often, the people at most
high risk are already cutting down on the substance.

For example (I can't find the reference now, sorry) a study that reported that
moderate drinking had better health outcomes than not drinking at all included
in its study population individuals who had cut alcohol consumption completely
because of pre-existing (at the time of the study) disease. So obviously those
people had worse health outcomes than the ones that drank moderately.

This can skew results something bad. If you're testing whether cutting down on
salt correlates with a reduction to CVD and some of your study population have
cut down on salt because they already have CVD, the association between
cutting down on salt and good outcomes will appear reduced in your data. In
the first study reported in Scientific American in the link you provide it's
hard to know whether this is the case because they don't link to the study
(typical). The next study reported by SA, where the amount of sodium in urine was
measured, seems to have suffered from this error: it found that cutting down
on salt increased risk of dying from heart disease. Not benefitting from
reducing salt intake is one thing, but dying more of it? That takes hellalot
of explaining!

The point is that just because a study found one result doesn't mean
everything changes overnight.

It is important to understand that when there is a large body of evidence
supporting one hypothesis ("too much salt is not good for you") it takes an
equally large body of evidence to reject that hypothesis. A single study, even
a meta-analysis, doesn't cut it. It will take many years and a lot of work
before the evidence SA presents is credible enough to change our
understanding. And this is as it should be.

> Yes there is a benefit to radical thinking and nonconformity, but "do it without hurting others" is a reasonable line to draw.

I'm trying to keep an open-mind here. But can anyone cite specific examples of a person that Stallman hurt in some way or another? And I'm willing to take a very liberal definition for "hurt" here.

Because Stallman's "toxicity" keeps getting brought up again and again. Yet no specific instances are being cited besides vague rumors, anonymous claims, or "you know it, I know it, everybody knows it" type allusions.

So, it's just a simple request. Any actual, specific, non-anonymous claim of somebody being hurt by Richard Stallman in some identifiable way. (For example Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey would have no trouble meeting this criteria.) Maybe, I'm just out of the loop, but I'm certainly seeing a repeated pattern or allusions without specifics in these threads.
I work for a web hosting company in Texas, and this is ridiculously common. Any public IP with any public service at all will be poked, prodded, and generally made uncomfortable by every bot and crawler you can think of, trying common password combinations and scanning for common vulnerabilities in popular software. This catches so many of our customers by surprise, who tend to mistakenly believe they're being targeted in some kind of attack. Generally they're not, unless they're running something vulnerable and one of the bots noticed.

Fail2ban is great to at least stem the tide. It's good at slowing down SSH brute forcing, and can be set up to throttle poorly behaved scrapers so your site isn't getting hammered constantly. If you can deal with the inconvenience, it's even better to put services that don't need to be truly public behind an IP whitelist. That stops the vast majority of malicious traffic, most of which is going after the low hanging fruit anyway.

Otherwise, it's kinda just a fact of life. With the good traffic also comes the bad.

The Green Curtain
That's just another oversimplification. So we can just keep overexploiting the natural resources of the planet, and solve everything by further environmental manipulation, like by creating a huge amount of green-sand beaches.

We have no idea how that further manipulation would affect the environment, in a thousand unforeseen ways that would only be apparent decades down the line.

Half of the earth habitable area is used for animal agriculture, so that should be the first part being reforested, meaning less cattle feed, meaning less meat.

So we cover the surface of the earth with crop fields, plant a bunch of trees on the other and everything is going to be all right? Of course not, it's just not that simple.

Scientists simply cannot predict how the ecosystem would respond, the models are too simple for something so complex as the Earth.

We need to stop using so many resources, continuing to increase the rate of consumption while waiting for some miracle technical silver bullet solution is just suicidal as a species.
