This is not true. Sweden experienced a spike in unemployment, despite not having a lockdown. "People are too afraid about getting sick and dying to go outside" is pretty much directly attributable to the pandemic.
>One is because homes today are substantially larger and have more amenities than they did in previous generations.

I have noticed that most of my fellow millennials seem to have completely forgotten the concept of "starter home" and assume that as soon as you turn 25 you should be entitled to a 4 bedroom house with a pool, huge yard, wonderful neighborhood, three-car garage, etc.

Among my friends that have bought houses, many of them have gone into significant debt just to buy a 3-4 bedroom house, even though they have no kids and only use one of the bedrooms, because they think that at some point in their life they will put them to use. The extra rooms go completely unused (other than the extra furniture which they also went into debt for). It's like they see the house that their parents own and assume that their house also needs to be that, and ignore the fact that their parents probably started out in a much smaller home and then moved into a big one once necessary.

>Two is that we're highly skewed to a handful of elite metros

I contend that it's not even just this, but also that within metros millenials are highly skewed to a handful of elite neighborhoods.

I live in a medium COL metro, and all of my friends constantly lament the "high" cost of houses and how they will never be able to afford a house. But when I ask what houses they are looking at, it's always the nicest, premiere neighborhoods that have McMansions with huge yards, white picket fences, hip restaurants within walking distance, etc. Not a single one of them even considers living in the many much cheaper neighborhoods.

There certainly are issues with prices in some areas (cough SF cough) but at least in my metro and in my friend group, the "houses cost too much" meme seems to be a scapegoat for what is really just an inflated sense of what housing they are entitled to.
I don't remember things being so grim in the 90s. It's true that MS was pushing its proprietary technologies and (ab)used the popularity of Windows and IE, but the web was a wild west back then and everyone was pushing in their own direction.

Thankfully open standards like ECMAScript were adopted, but I never saw what MS was doing as being so sinister.

I would also argue that today we're much closer to a "GoogleInternet" than we ever were to a "MSInternet" in the 90s, yet we don't hear near as much uproar about that. (And we definitely should...)

Pop Shell from System76 also does something similar. That is a gnome shell extension that provides tiling window management. It's focus is keyboard driven window navigation and has the option to switch between tiling and floating mode.

It's a while since I've listened to much Terence McKenna, but I have a vague memory of him talking about this, possibly related to Psilocybin instead of DMT, about how there's a recording of a woman in South America speaking in Spanish while tripping and yet "being told" the same content by the psychadelic entity. Another part of the world, another language, same message. Anyone know the details of that story?

Right now it feels a lot like how UFO sightings have barely changed in the last twenty years despite over 2 billion smartphone cameras being pumped into the world, and countless millions more standalone digital cameras, tablet cameras, webcams, etc. A 1960s or 1970s recording from the "dawn" of tapes, a crackly recording of a woman in a mental hospital speaking in a distant place in a foreign language is extremely evocative, a far better story than a study at a dowdy chemical research lab in a flyover town.

How serendipitous. I was just chatting with my partner and we heard birds chirping outside our house.

I realized that I had not heard them for a couple weeks now and guessed it had to do with the awful smoke conditions here in Portland. The smoke is still bad but it is noticeably less apocalyptic this morning.
I thought birds would flee bad smoke like this but maybe they were just holed up in their nests waiting for things to improve, same as us?

> or just dont care because they get to take in money for every user of MS/linux hybrid.

Oh my god, the horror. Are you suggesting that I could, I dare to think it, pay Microsoft some money for a working operating system that meets all of my needs? Someone needs to call the EU and get this shut down, this is unacceptable behavior.

Look, this fear out of the linux community is why I'm hesitant to immerse myself in it. Lets say I decide to build a linux app that is dependent on Microsoft APIs, as you fear: what's stopping you from just not using it? If Microsoft allows this, and we're legal with the licensing, what gives you the right to (1) control how I build the software I want to build, and (2) control what kinds of software my users want to use?

Well, I think if we dig deep enough, the reason is some variant of "because then developers will take the easy route and use the generally pretty good and well supported Microsoft APIs, and the open linux APIs will flounder". Which is a weird combination of 'not invented here' and self-loathing from the linux community that is startlingly unhealthy. Microsoft is making an effort toward openness and interoperability here; we can argue their intentions all day, maybe they're good or bad, but its (some members of) the linux community who's saying "no, we don't want to be open, we want to live in Linux world and pretend like no one else exists." Sounds a lot like 90s-00s Microsoft.

And what's the worst case scenario? Microsoft suddenly removes their mask and admits they were the evildoer we all feared them to be, like a scooby-doo villain? Ok? They tried pulling that with the browser ecosystem, and Office, and Java, and the world is still spinning. Linux is healthier than ever.

"Wait until I find out?" Don't patronize me, I am keenly aware of automobile deaths, and furthermore, it's a complicated problem to solve for many, many reasons, some of which are caused by greed, lack of oversight, recklessness, and other social issues.

Nevertheless, in my lifetime cars have gotten safer by several metrics, most notably by distance traveled.[1] And they did not get better by thinking that driving around in deathtraps without seat belts and swigging whisky behind the wheel was acceptable.

They got better when people like Nader and MADD stood up and defied arguments like yours and loudly complained that yes, the system was BROKEN and needed to be fixed.

And then other people went about trying to fix automobile safety. Imperfectly. In fits and starts. And sometimes entirely wrongly. But nevertheless, progress happened when people attempted to fix things they acknowledged were broken.

That is not true. These are, broadly speaking, in unmanaged areas without fire suppression programs. It is extraordinarily hot and dry in the areas with fires, and that's why these are bigger than in modern human history.

edit: fair point on sources. There are a lot, and they're easily found. This was an interesting read https://www.fs.usda.gov/nfs/11558/www/nepa/19535_FSPLT3_3990... (pdf) though I'd warn anyone not to just look for supporting information for this pet theory. Fire suppression builds up fuel and causes worse fires. But there are worse fires in areas without fire suppression programs. There are even worse fires (vs historically) in areas with prescribed burn programs.

For what it’s worth, I’m on the same page about this.

I think we need an open, community owned, phone OS.

I don’t see any of the actors who are impugning Apple as having any intention whatsoever to support the development of that - there is literally zero evidence of it.

They only want to capture a part of the revenue stream for themselves. It’s simply all they have talked about.

I believe that there are serious technical challenges to overcome to create a true open alternative to iOS that provides the same safety benefits that their controlled ecosystem provides. It took years for Apple to build their walled garden and it would take years to build an alternative.

It would be pretty easy for these billion dollar corporations who are attacking Apple to fund such an initiative though a foundation of some kind, but it’s much cheaper for them to just try to use the courts to capture some of Apple’s revenue stream instead.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is just another bully.

> But in places like Tampa, Omaha, Cincinnati, and Phoenix the cost of housing (per square foot) has barely gone up at all.

Maybe if you stop looking at like 2018. But my on-the-ground analysis living on one of these cities is cost of housing has fucking exploooded. I built a house just two years ago, which I thought was incredibly expensive at 2 times the median home price in the area. I had it in the back of my head that I was insane to pay so much for a house, but since I could easily afford it, I went ahead with it.

Now, the median price has shot up by 25% and there are literally no new houses available for what I paid. My neighbors are relocating after only a year in their house and sold their house for 20% over what they paid new. The new construction 3 miles down the street from me starts at 30% more than what I paid, and a few are double or more. Meaning, 3-5x the median for the area.

All of this is trickling down to the rest of the area. Houses that went for $130k in 2015 have sale prices in the $200k range. We're talking 60s era ranch houses that haven't been updated since the 90s.
Do they have an announced support policy for versions? If they have a policy that says they support the 3 most recent stable major versions, I wouldn't count deprecating support for a non-supported version of Go to be a breaking change. They aren't breaking anything because your version of Go is no longer supported on those versions. Whether you think that deprecating support for a language version (regardless of whether it continues to build with that version or not) requires a major version change is probably a matter of personal opinion. I would tend to say no, but I can see valid arguments for it (mainly because semver doesn't actually give us enough bits to communicate granular info).

What would be ideal is if we had a means of communicating more information about releases of code and their relationship than semver provides. I.e. I can publish a repo and add some kind of "language-support.json" document that specifies I support the 3 latest major releases of Go, and have the package manager figure out whether my version of Go is supported. Other ideas for metadata would be the ability to add labels to releases, and have the option to filter/prioritize upgrades based on those.

I would love if package managers supported labels as part of the metadata, and I could get a summary of all the labels between my current version and the new version. So on an upgrade, I could get a label diff for the package versions like "security:cve-1234 feature:oauth2-support bugfix:stale-kafka-messages". Those are cherry picked things that make nice labels, not everything makes sense in those messages. But sometimes it feels like we just do global updates and make sure everything builds, just to keep the tech debt low. I have no idea what actually changed in the package, and as long as it builds and tests pass I don't have to know. That's because we have so many dependencies, and it would take ages to read the release notes for all of the versions of all of the dependencies between our current version and the new one. Labels provide a means to communicate a succinct version of what changed; succinct enough for someone to read while they're waiting on tests to run.

Forcing women to terminate a pregnancy that is the product of rape inevitably results in encouraging rape. I think in those cases abortion is justified.

I'm sure some people at Apple do care about developers, but these are not the people making the important decisions.

Apple knows they are in control of +60% of the app mobile revenue worldwide. It wouldn't surprise me if management believed third party developers should consider themselves privileged to be on their platform.

> They fish out dirts in others while their home country is never exposed to their investigative journalism.

True, and the same can be said of RT, and many others.

This actually seems to be the default configuration for the market in journalism (whether the funding comes from advertising or the state). Afflicting the comfortable even-handedly is a privilege very few news organizations have. There is almost always a hand that feeds them they are reluctant to bite.

The best we can reasonably hope for (WRT Aljazeera) is a competing org with a different source of funding.

I am not a researcher, but https://www.audubon.org/news/how-wildfires-affect-birds would seem to be a reputable source. It was written in 2017, but is relevant to the current situation.

Multiple passages in it are relevant to this issue. Birds do try to fly away from fire. We have evidence that smoke inhalation is worse for birds than mammals (which would mean that birds would need to flee smoke, and not just the flames). And the possibility of birds dying of exhaustion from trying to fly away was already a concern to wildlife conservationists.

None of which is proof. But it is all suggestive that I'm making a reasonable guess as to why they are dying.

> about the deaths of millions of people when it comes to environmental destruction

You're not getting it. With global environmental catastrophe the concern is not about the deaths of millions of people. It is about the deaths of all people everywhere. A symptom of the problem of environmental catastrophe is those that are cavalier about the deaths of entire species of wildlife. The planet will be fine, the plant and wildlife will recover... though it may not be the same plant or wildlife. But once humans are gone, there is very little change we are coming back. So, to be clear, though humans have and are making he planet uninhabitable for myriad of species, reducing the available variety of species, which we, in fact, depend on... it is a web... but we are also making the planet uninhabitable for people.

Serious and monumental efforts in conservation of plant and wildlife and habitat is a damn good place to start. The more natural habitat there is, the more plant and wildlife there is, the better it will be for us. First thing is first... the oil industry and the chemical industry needs to go away within the next 10 years. Government, which people control, needs to make all that crap unprofitable. All pollution must cease, and we need to figure out how to clean up what has been done. Let's not bitch about energy, nor evangelize nuclear power. Let's just bite the bullet for a few generations and force everything and everyone to generate their own energy, and require that it be clean.
