Fair enough, I think we are talking about different types of people - some people, like me, want a dumb phone for basic communication only, so they can get out to have some adventure without still being hooked up to the machine - we don't want the distraction.

But I understand others (mainly exercise enthusiasts) want to be hooked up because their drive is to track progress. In that case they really want a small smart phone which is what this palm thing is.
I'm a bit surprised that you chose to focus on those particular statements instead of my counter-example to your central thesis, but so be it.

The fight against racism is perpetual, fine. There are two camps in that fight, the racists and non-racists. The non-racists have decided to apply the unique strategy of removing people from their camp and adding them to the opposite camp: every time a non-racist says something not correct enough or God forbid even wrong (e.g. on twitter), they are ejected into the other camp. Eventually the other camp's grown from a fringe phenomenon to being noticeably large and everyone laments.
In this perpetual fight, the non-racists and non-fascists have chosen a losing plan of action. Maybe they should reconsider instead of digging in their heels.

"It wasn't very long ago that the US used state power to physically ostracize and divide its citizens by race and religion. That, for whatever reason, isn't considered an act of self-weakening, but (occasionally misdirected) observations on social media about the former are. That, to me, is telling. "

I don't know why you think that it wasn't, but obviously it was a huge act of self-weakening and that besides the moral dimension is probably an important reason behind its rectification.
Just found an article in the FAZ claiming that since early 2019 BAFIN was investigating accounting issues. The assignment was handed over to one guy...
It’s not just that function, the C file is over 2300 lines long. It’s hard to tell where one function starts and another one ends in that mess
So companies can't even look at their own data now? I'm pretty sure most people are okay with that.
I will cite your statement "money is merely a proxy for utility" because that makes utility a suitable proxy for money, and you agree to that.

To expand on my original point and a statement I made elsewhere, to make it more palatable to people who want to object to it: I'm just talking about definition here; I'm not changing your ideas about greed, or distribution of wealth or sustainable wages. Adopt the definiton I gave, and then say what you want about those other things, and you'll make more sense, or understand why you're failing by your own standards.
Three counterarguments:

- if the opportunity costs are high, would it nonetheless not be better to have fair rates?

- if you believe in the market, why are there not already offers with more acceptable rates? Is there just not enough capital (which seems wrong, if you believe in your own claim that it's so profitable to invest), or because the risk is so high?

- most importantly, even if 40% was in fact an acceptable rate, what happens to those that can't repay? Say your crop is eaten by a bug or the local militia steals your harvest or you get injured and can't do the work - what happens to a poor person with a 40% loan? The answer is eternal, ever growing, unrepayable debt and suffering.

No thanks. This is not a kind gesture, this is Russian roulette - two chambers: you get even, two chambers: you make an enormous and sustainable profit, two chambers: your family is in debt for generations.
I have spoken about this many times on HN. It comes down to this: email is being used in many nefarious ways and it is an ancient protocol with many insecurities. Anonymous email works for a bit but then every service worth using starts banning the providers. Both reddit and HN prospered as a result of not requiring email, that should tell you a lot about how horrible it is. It's on the same level as social security numbers being used as a secure secret that identifies a person. Email was not meant to be abusef this way, and I have seen first hand how it can be used against people so I have chosen it as my figurative "hill to die on".

Now, if I can give a limited use address that cant be tied to me as an individual,expires after a period of time and messages are E2EE encrypted with no metadata leakage I don't mind that.

I have spent almost an entire day trying to sign up to one service withour having to give up my phone number,real IP,creditcard or real email address to anyone as a challenge. I have tried countless anonymous email providers and sms code receiving services. I failed. Email abd phone number collection is a modern tech evil for me.

I wasnt familiar with any dedicated IRDA PCMCIA cards ever existing. But apparently IBM made one :o

https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common... or https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/ftpdir/thinkpad/old-archive...

only picture I could find of one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/0934340-IBM-INFRARED-WIRELESS-PCMCI...

Still you wouldnt be aiming whole computers with pcmcia cards in them, there was a dongle, most likely with a clip or velcro to slap in on the back of laptop screen.
Requiring an email isn't a (good) way to filter bots though.
Projects like this always excite me, both because of their immediate impact on the people and nations affected and because they feel like a good reminder of what humanity can do when we collectively put our minds to something.

If humans can build a 4,750 mile wall of trees, then it stands to reason that we can do a whole lot of other amazing things if we can just find the political and social will to do so (obviously that's usually the tough part...).
Inferno: Library for high-performance user interfaces
Many.

I'm not super involved on the FRB side of CHIME, so I'm not 100% clear what is public and what isn't. But you can an idea from public info around the internet. I think the last total number made public was over 700 in March this year, and the previous one 30 in October 2018 (https://aasnova.org/2020/03/13/chime-detects-even-more-repea...).

member.cash is an interesting Reddit alternative. Not federated, but all the content is on a blockchain, so comments/users can't be censored, but users can filter them.
I agree with you that Reddit basically overlaps this area, but I don't think access to Usenet is easy these days (ignoring paid services that are optimized for downloading files).

Although if anyone knows good servers (ISPs no longer seem to offer them) or even better a way to connect own server to Usenet, I'm interested.

More or less - this kind of thing does happen, but not by as technical means as extracting the hinting from the font (because you would need to provide new hinting anyway for it to look any good, and you get into a complex knowledge firewall situation doing that).

Instead, it's common for font foundries to design a new font based on the result of an existing one, creating an effective duplicate font divorced of copyright claim. It's pretty common for a few differences to be inserted though, I think less out of concern over copyright and more so that it's possible to determine which font was used for license enforcement of the new one.

This prominently happened with Arial, which is a copy of Helvetica designed by Monotype so that they could stop paying fees to license Helvetica from Linotype as part of their font offerings for early raster printers (back when fonts were embedded in the print engine). There are numerous other examples, to the extent that if one foundry offers a font which is particularly popular, the other major foundries probably also offer their own "version" of it.

> Yea, not using Oauth was my thought was well. My concern however, was trying to pick something clients would expect. I don't want it to feel custom, arbitrary, hodgepodge.

I think clients often expect one of the following (assuming everything is done over HTTPS):
1. HTTP basic auth
2. Login to the API, get a token, and use that token for requests
3. Generate an API key for the client and the client sends the key on every request
4. (Occasionally) Cryptographic signing of every request, sending the signature with the request

1 and 3 (if implemented as a username/password on the back end) are going to have similar trade offs. You are fully authenticating every request that comes in against your credentials data store.

Option 2 is where OIDC/OAuth2 comes into play or you could use a standard session token approach if you want. In OAuth terminology the client credentials grant is the simple flow where the client logs in with a username/password, gets a token back, and includes that token in API calls. Option 2 is also valuable if you want to support mobile clients with refresh tokens and such using things like the authorization code grant. Essentially allowing users to login to a mobile app once but use short-lived tokens when calling the API without prompting users for credentials every few minutes.

Option 4 can be an alternative to token-based approaches to reduce load on your credentials database but gets more complicated for the client.

Ultimately if you are looking to keep things simple I would lean towards HTTP Basic auth until/unless you are building a mobile app or otherwise really need to move to a token-oriented approach. At that point I would consider full fledged OIDC/OAuth2 or maybe a login that generates an API session token.

Exactly. Plenty of users care, they're just powerless to do anything about. The OEM's are so big A LOT of people would have to outright boycott them to make any difference, but even then where are the going to go? ALL OEMs do this, so customers really have no choice in the matter.
Sooo since it's not easy to change policing, let's hang a few people that we CAN get as a substitute? That doesn't sound like a moral movement to me, it sounds like bloodthirst.

Which "Fediverse"? As I understand the concept, it applies to social networks in general. But it appears that you are referring to one specific network which contains the Gab server in it.
> I don't believe that moderating away content and discussion of climate denial would actually result in climate change deniers changing their views. They'd simple disengage with the social networks that institute such moderation and instead seek out alternative mediums. They are plenty of other venues online and offline for climate change denying and other questionable content.

One key effect here too: Even if being among other people doesn't turn them away from climate change denial, it can ground them in reality in other areas better.
Mostly agree with all the points, but you should still be careful not to construct an echo chamber for yourself by only allowing what you like to see / read and banning everything else.
The false advertising and bribery is illegal, and they are being pursued by the court system both criminally and civilly.
Unfortunately it is as closed as other iOS devices and as such a no-go for those who value their freedoms. If Apple were to open up iOS to the same extent as Android is open - i.e. the basic system is open, on top of which proprietary services can be (but do not have to be) added - it might be more interesting. It would also be nice to have the possibility to add a microSD-card to the device. Add these options and a substantial number of Android users will consider iOS as a viable option.
Which has the same problem of the community being an echo chamber, the only difference being that it's a left wing echo chamber instead of a right wing echo chamber like voat.
Do you think it might be related to this event? (linked below ) I'm going to make a guess, that there might have been a nuclear detonation. It probably wasn't a test. This seems to be an accident. Not all weapons are accounted for, e.g. there a American hydrogen bombs lost in Spain (I know... it sounds crazy but look it up.). Could there have been a bomb laying around someone in a place everyone forgot existed maybe some forgotten relic from the Soviet day?

A GLOBAL MAGNETIC ANOMALY: On June 23rd, Earth’s quiet magnetic field was unexpectedly disturbed by a wave of magnetism that rippled around much of the globe. There was no solar storm or geomagnetic storm to cause the disturbance. So what was it?

It was maintained for a little while after I left Fuchsia (almost two years ago now), but the pace of development on Fuchsia is such that if it's not actively maintained, it bitrots very quickly. And there aren't really any devices running Fuchsia that need text editing at scale.
The only redditlike sites that outcompete Reddit are ones with more moderation (e.g., HN), not less.

Totally a tangent, but it's interesting that we still refer to things as "disk space" even in the era of flash storage
"when I said "money is the measure of value to society" I accompanied it with a quotation that mentioned both "money" and "value to society" and I did so to make the point that OP was failing to make a point.

if you'd like to defend the original quote, go ahead, I'll bite on that, but here you've just changed the context to no profit.

> Only for a very strict definiton of "value to society"

well, as I was looking for a strict definition of money, great!
For programming, this is why I name variables "foo" and "bar" and not "FO0" and "F0O". Really opens up the range of fonts you can use.

I agree with you that getting shortcuts (and other similar aspects) right is more important than which code is used to implement text editing. We're very much going to try to take that to heart as we implement more text capabilities in Druid.

Regarding LSP. Yes, while the functionality is there, it is very difficult to implement a really polished user experience with it. I think a lot of that is in the design of the protocol itself; it's hard to avoid annotating the wrong region when there are concurrent edits. It's interesting to think about how to do better, but I fear you'd be bringing in a lot of complexity, especially if you started doing some form of Operational Transformation. I would highly recommend that if someone were to take this on, they study xi in detail, both for what it got right and what was difficult.
So many noob mistakes in the UI and I haven't even started using the site proper.

I see a link "Create Community", this takes me to a form where I get to create a community. I spend time naming and describing this community, and then click the Submit button. At this point it decides to tell me that I need to use lowercase for the community name.

So I fix that and hit Submit again. At this point I'm told I have to create an account first. WTF, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I leave this page to create an account, will you preserve what I've filled into this form for when I get back? Why didn't you just add the necessary username/password fields to this form at the same time you showed me the error?

Anyway, so I click on the link that says Login/Signup and get a popup that says "Are you sure you want to leave?" Now I have to click again to remove this popup. Another wasted click and +1 to the "annoyed" meter. See above for how this could have been avoided by just adding the login/signup forms to the form I just filled out to reduce friction.

Anyway, so I create an account. And it turns out the site forgot everything I'd done before that. Why ask me questions (make me fill out a "Create community" form) if you're going to immediately forget all my answers?

Absolutely no respect for the users time. Why would you do that when your very existence depends on attracting more users?
As someone who follows Russian news and political atmosphere. Here’s what’s been happening there as of late: Corona, sanctions and the tremendous drop in oil prices have hit the Russian economy very hard and the situation is projected to get worse. Putin’s rating is the worst it has ever been and the US is currently bipartisan on new, much worse sanctions (rightly so). Putin is becoming desperate. The last time his rating began to drop the invasion of Crimea propped it back up to 90%+ (Russians apparently love invading weak neighbors for territory) and staid that way for a long time despite sanctions and western pressure. Recently, in consistence with the drop in ratings, the saber rattling against Ukraine has picked up a lot. Russia has massed even more troops on the Ukrainian border and preformed a huge mock invasion exercise from Crimea (US reacted by flying stealth bombers in the area). Last week Putin also gave a huge inflammatory interview claiming that Ukraine and other exsoviet countries illegally left the USSR with rightfully Russian territories (a lie). Many see these events as the preparation for another invasion of Ukraine. These nuclear fission byproducts can potentially be the result of Russian weapons tests in preparation for military action that may result in NATO reaction (Ukraine received enhanced NATO status earlier this month, likely in response to the saber rattling). The last time nuclear fission byproducts were detected in the region (last year I believe), it was due to Russia testing a new nuclear engine powered missile with near unlimited range and maneuverability. This missile spews radioactive byproducts as it flies and creates a mini Chernobyl (along with an explosion due to a payload in addition to its reactor engine) where ever it hits. A similar missile was tested in the US but scrapped due to the potential damage to the environment. This of course is just one of many possible explanations for this detection.
Voat was created intentionally and specifically for the (mostly far-right) trolls too unsavory for Reddit. So, if Lemmy is not that, it'll have a head start.
In section 7 of the elsewhere-mentioned http://archive.is/QHU1H , Scott Alexander concludes (with explanations) that the initial policy of not recommending masks was not a deliberate attempt to prevent hoarding. Note that, in coming to this conclusion, he reversed his initial opinion on the matter.

And while there is little doubt that maskless protests of any sort cause spreading, there is little evidence so far of them causing the transmision to "explode".
How is that different than Reddit, except with less ability to control cross-subreddit brigading?
Conversational design is basically command line, right?
You change partners, but that usually means it's the same partner working in the same group and so all know each other really well. Also, that doesn't mean anything since the team can stay the same. Partners would question the work and can look at it, but rarely any partner would bother to go into the bank statement and make sure the work is tied out. They are too "above" that. That responsibility falls onto the senior and managers, and in many instances incompetence or laziness from those staff will let things go through. It's very tedious work, and it's annoying to do the same thing for 8+ hours a day for a month or two. In the end, the team just want things to tie out, and make whatever documentation is necessary to make sense of things. No need to upset the client or partner and lose the potential business.
Contracts. I’ve run into the issue trying to reference paragraph 2O vs paragraph 20. (Paragraph 2 is often definitions and tends to get lengthy.)
What's so peculiar about bad interfaces like that you've described is how it's so utterly obviously not up to the job. It's like looking at certain websites and saying "I can't read this". My energy supplier prints bills with some info in very light grey on white - I literally can't read the text, it's so obviously inadequate, but every day another thousand below-par websites/GUIs/whatever are churned out by people who not only don't understand UIs/websites, they can't detect the most fundamental, evident, basic flaws right in front of them.
Thanks for this - I hadn't seen that yesterday, and wouldn't have posted this otherwise.

This seems to be the outcome of all of these Reddit clones, even the ones made with the best of intentions.

Take for instance Ruqqus, another site created as a free speech reddit alternative. It consistently has horrifying content on the front page regularly; viciously racist content, anti-Semitic memes, unironic pro-Nazism/pro-genocide discussion posts, and generally terrible content. This is likely because it is exactly this content that is being "censored" from Reddit, not these harmless free speech advocates who are silenced by a big company.

Can anyone actually tell me what valuable discussion is being censored on Twitter, Reddit, etc? Banning this type of content is mandatory if you want a platform that is safe and available for trans people, Jews, gay people, women, etc.

People shouldn't have to tolerate people @ing them with slurs, be exposed to "reasoned" arguments for their extermination, or memes dehumanizing them for the sake of "free speech."

If i'm a redditor that looks at r/dankmemes and r/gifs all day, or a creator for those subreddits, I don't see why I would leave reddit for a competitor. Without these people coming from reddit, it'll have the same problem as voat where nobody is looking for - or even willing to try - alternatives unless they were rejected.
