> That's most likely too drastic, leading to a massive immediate economic crash.

I have heard this argument before but not much evidence to support it. There was identical arguments here where I live when they decided to phase out nuclear, and in fairness to the politicians back then, it did not cause an immediate economic crash. Just stopping the production of new plants and letting existing plants operate until they reach their expected operation life time span works pretty well. The energy markets adapts and there are instead an renewed interest to invest as people know that in the future there will be a vacant spot in the market when those plants get decommissioned. Some even argued that it caused stability in the energy market.

The major problem right now is that for the last 10 years, for every extra 1 WGh of new renewable being consumed the fossil based energy also expand by 10 WGh. Looking at world politics and right now there is a lot of focus on expanding fossil fuel extracting and exporting, especially for natural gas. In the EU there are military right now being mobilized because of interest to drill for more natural gas. Investment into new fossil fuel infrastructure has not slowed down but is rather picking up speed.

Massive society-wide decarbonization program where we turn existing fossil fuel plant into carbonfree alternatives are needed, but we should stop people from furthering investing into fossil fuels when there exist a purpose serving alternative. I don't see any good reason to wait.
Say what you will about crypto/blockchain in general, but Chainalysis has to have one of the coolest missions out there right now. As someone who's worked in AML before, it's truly fascinating to me. If blockchain / DeFi is the "wild west" of finance right now, Chainalysis are the vigilantes.
If it's on a tower on the peak of a hill, the coverage might be measurable in miles. That's the case with fire towers today. But yeah, even then scaling could be difficult. It might work for realtively smaller, more developed areas prone to fires, such as parts of CA. Maybe put them on existing cell towers?

>The only reason Podcast Addict has been restored (multiple times) is that it's high-profile, and the owner raised enough stink to cause widespread (enough) outrage about this. Otherwise, whether through malice or incompetence, it would be gone forever.

This is my concern. These apps are not content hosts, they are akin to Web browsers or RSS readers, but they are small, one-person endeavours that don't have the clout to get Google to notice the difference between the content providers (the individual Mastodon servers) and the ActivityPub client app that these apps represent.

I know one of the devs is thinking to not push the issue as he's worried about his other apps on the same developer account.

The discussion has veered off into censorship issues, but this is a simple 230-ish problem, these apps are not the Mastodon servers that (presumably) some people have had issues with. They are agnostic client readers of the ActivityPub statuses.

There is no way, nor any legal requirement, for a browser like these apps to be held responsible for the million possible bits of content it could consume.

The app is not the service.

I don't think that's true of video-conferencing either. Zoom is probably the most popular (and technically superior), but there is also: Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, Slack, and many others, including open source options like Jitsi. And they all pretty much do the job.
We believe that session attacks are going to increase in the future given that login is becoming more secure (passwordless, hardware keys etc etc)..

As such, for long lived sessions, just having one token makes that the weakest link in that user's security. That's why we believe that this is a problem worth solving = minimising security risk.

The method you suggested is one that you understand and can build. A lot of developers do not know much about session security, but still want security.

Thanks for your feedback though. It's true that not all apps will want this level of security. We understand that.

Like backing up data, having a contingency plan is important. Even if you like zoom because of certain features, having a backup service you can use in case of emergency is important. If everyone knows beforehand "which link to try if zoom is down today", then it is merely an inconvenience instead of an emergency.

As an extreme example: Do you really think the KKK believe hate speech is bad? Even if they do agree, do you think their definition looks anything like your own?

I find it hard to believe that someone who has lived through the last four years can say with a straight face that everyone agrees hate speech is bad. One would think the last US election cycle would have gone differently if that premise were true.
This would be amazing in Python when working with dataframes.
lol that's the most appropriate answer.
I don't see this as an argument against such legislation; consider that many physical crimes are also hard (or even impossible) to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, considered case-by-case. Rape very often qualifies here, as does the mens rea of various other crimes, which may rely upon testimony. Both actus reus and mens rea are required for a conviction, and while the actus reus may be easier to prove (but again, in many cases not beyond a reasonable doubt), we do not abolish the role of intention in the justice system simply because it's hard to prove.

Accusations of physical harms can also be concocted as bullying tactics too, in which the harm was suffered as a result of either a self-inflicted injury, or inflicted by somebody else. Such cases can be thrown out due to insufficient evidence. I see no reason why the same cannot be said for a subset of mental harms, in which there are equivalent doctors available to use their expertise to judge the harm.

None of the reporting I saw on the wedding cake cases actually described the cakes.

Are we talking normal wedding cakes, that you can buy from nearly any baker, with some ordinary decorations, that just have two men's names instead of one men's name and one woman's name after the "Congratulations", and have two mass-produced little plastic men on top instead of one little plastic man and one little plastic woman?

Or are we talking something you'd get from a baker like Duff Goldman, which is a custom designed and made unique work of art specifically for you that captures the artist's interpretation of your wedding, and inherently is an act of speech on the part of the artist?
Wouldn't you expect less than that on a website literally designed to be a curated list of links?
There's a hypothesis I came up with awhile ago and it seems to hold pretty true. If we talk about problems as O(n) where n is the causation distance[0] we've solved the vast majority of O(1) and O(0) problems. It makes sense that biologically we would be primed to think in this way because they are decent approximate solutions for small groups. But the world we live in now is much more complex and many events are coupled and the low order approximations aren't good solutions. The problem I see is that people are treating O(5) problems like they are O(1). As a society we discuss things in this way instead of trying to understand the complexity, nuance, and coupling that exists in many of our modern problems. A good example of this is global warming. People treat it as "if we switch to renewables then we've solved global warming" when reality is substantially more complicated. But I don't know how to get people to realize problems are higher order problems and that the first order approximation isn't a reasonable solution.

[0] So O(0) means x causes itself. O(1) is y causes x. O(n) is n causes y causes ... causes x. This is just a simplified framework and not meant to be taken too seriously.

If you have it set up so a single-tap is treated as a click, you should be able to double-tap (single-finger twice, not two fingers) and keep the finger down on the second tap to drag without any clicking.

Likewise, I have two-finger single-tap for right-click, and three-finger single-tap for middle-click. Pretty sure I only had to enable that last one (Ubuntu), all the others were there by default. I can't remember the last time I actually clicked the clickpad...

Not really true - there are plenty of buildings for the common folk from say 1920-1950, large apartment complexes where your middle class people would live. They aren't grandiose but the level of attention to detail, design and fitting into the landscape is unmatched by anything from the Communist era. I'll dig up some example photos when I get home.

The real problem is how uninspired everything from the Communist era is - dirty industrial buildings, concrete slabs randomly thrown all over the place, built with terrible quality control.

It really feels like it went from being a part of the civilized world (it was an important natural port for a long time in history for Austria) to a depressing city of old poor people slowly dying away - and there is so much potential there - the coastline is beautiful (industrial pollution can be cleaned up since the industry is also mostly dead), on a river bed and sunk in between hills (next to Opatija which was a summer place for monarchs). It has all hallmarks of a city and could be turned into an amazing place to live - but the people and the mentality left over from communism just make this impossible - there aren't enough quality people.

Some people will take snipes at the battery life/performance impact but just to give concrete examples.

I had a 2018 13" Macbook Pro and XPS 13 running Ubuntu. Former with Retina, latter with 4k. The Macbook's battery on a daily basis was never a huge problem for me unless running heavy applications like video chat. The XPS 13 has to be tethered to the power brick to run at 4k for more than a few hours. During normal dev work, I can't really get more than 90 minutes where the Macbook would last maybe 4-5 hours.

I suspect it's deeper than better hardware. Linux laptops just have worse battery life (nb4 "just install X Y Z with apt", that's not an acceptable solution when the OS is installed by the OEM and driver stability is still a problem on Linux laptops)

> "Getting young kids involved in ham radio [..] We must get children interested in the hobby."

This has often had a bit of a creepy vibe to me. Not a sexually creepy vibe, more like the Church targetting children to instill a set of beliefs about the world before they develop critical thinking skill. More like "adults won't want to do it our way, they'll try and introduce all these new digital modes; we need to get to them while they're young to "instill the correct values"" creepy.

Apart from that it has a "treating women as objects" vibe to it; imagine The Simpsons' Comicbook guy saying "we need more women in here", or Google saying "we want more women employed here", Or Peter Thiel and his "I want young people's blood"[1] ideas. Instead of wanting people with radio skills or technical skills or organizational skills, instead of valuing people's humanity and ability, only (non-sexually) fetishising one desirable attribute - age or gender or skin colour or malleability (youth said a different way, but this time meaning life inexperience) or excitability (youth said a different way, but this time meaning pre-cynical age).

And apart from those ways, it's predatory in the sense of Facebook building its software to focus on how to extract information from you, instead of focusing on what you want. "We want more (youth/women/people of colour), nevermind what they want". You want more children interested, why should the children give a damn? In the way that incels aren't entitled to a woman's attention just because they want a girlfriend, amateur radio isn't entitled to young people just because it's ageing out.

You want to expand amateur radio, no problem with that. Be interesting. Welcome whoever is interested. You want to spend more time with kids? Get out of the shed and volunteer at a school or play Fortnite, somewhere they are, and support what they are interested in. Don't be the "parent" saying they only have value to the extent that they mould themselves to the life shape you want them to have, they already have personalities, they are people not club-number-filler.

(I'm neither young, nor a ham, but I've seen it as a sentiment over the years in RadCom the magazine for the Radio Society of Great Britain, not just in this blogpost, and other places which I won't try to name and shame, but this isn't just a rant from one line in one blog post).

[1] allegedly.
No, we can't. Rather amusingly: if you stop buying Chinese electronics, how will you convince others to do the same? Ham radio? Even Fairphone weren't able to avoid China and their entire goal is to reduce human rights violations im their supply chain.

We need to start forcing companies to move production back home and we need to pay the 3x increase in prices that comes with that without as much as a single complaint. As long as our main concern is price, companies will outsource to poorer countries, which inevitably leads to exploitation.

We need governments to require full supply chain tracing, outlaw doing business with human rights violators and actually enforce all of that through regular inspections. If they find a single child worker in your supply chain, you have a month to stop doing business with them or pay 5% last year's revenue in fines.

This is what we have politics for. If you live in a democratic country, that's something you can actually do! Your money, however, is meaningless.
