Many hurdles and it's very tiring. From one problem to another.

Passive income hurdles:

* change in the commission you get, this happened on many platforms. I personally experienced going from 50% commission to 15% commission

* your domains could be attacked by international link farm botnets (national police ignores this), causing your income to tank. This is happening to my domains now. It's a brick wall of law enforcement, domain registrars, domain hosting etc ignoring this crime. Then it's a problem of scale, should you as a solo developer go after 100.000 botnet domains? Google disavow tool is way to slow to solve the problem, even after reporting spam domains they're there for 2+ months

* dealing with international cyber crime in general. Because national law doesn't apply to the world, you are pretty much on your own when it comes to security. The internet is the wild wild west, crime is the norm.

* you could be kicked of the platform like App store, Play store for unspecified reasons. Maybe you made apps that provide you a nice passive income, then poof, gone.

* your co-founder could sue you (if you don't work solo)

Active income hurdles:

* customer goes bankrupt

* customer refuses to pay

* a pandemic could disrupt your business

Overall active income is better, because the passive income problems are much harder. Passive income is awesome when it works, but it's not a guaranteed income and it's outside your control.

>If the "solid and predictable baseline system" you used contains even a slightly different version of the input method library the user is currently using, then the user can no longer type _at all_ in your fancy application. Same thing for a myriad other integration points users are expecting in a desktop program. Drag and drop? Running the default program for X service? Window manager decorations? Etc.

Well that input library is not an issue of the flatpak environment but an issue of the application and/or that library. That error could have easily occured if the application linked an old version of that library and the new version of the daemon was incompatible.

Drag and drop works with flatpak to my knowledge, as does running something as default program for opening a file or URL. And window manager decorations work fine for my flatpak apps too.

The user would not be forced to do that if Linux system devs got their shit together. At the moment, Linux is barely a end-user desktop because everything beyond opening a webbrowser (and maybe not even that) is complicated. Configuring default fonts requires me to sudo'ing a text editor into an /etc file and manually insert the right incanations into an XML format.

Many subsystems in the linux desktop haven't been properly updated in quite some time and lag behind modern developments.

This is an issue Linux created because everyone makes their own solution and then distro managers will silently patch over the mistakes, so it all kinda works together.

The IME issue can be solved by making portals versioned, so flatpak can install the app with a runtime that contains a version of the IME lib that works. Similarly for other IO between the host services and client libraries.

Additionally, portals can already provide a number of things (drag and drop for example) without having to compromise security or convenience.

I would also like to point out that not every input method library the user has is going to break every single revision.
Pathological behavior being part of a culture isn't an excuse for it. If everyone acted this way open source couldn't exist.
In other words, the quote is completely bogus.

Caste system, on the surface, seems like hereditary fixing of labor roles. If applied universally, it should be easy to accept a member of a strong foreign army, or any army as a Kshatriya. So it makes no sense for every Englishman to assume a high caste, irrespective of profession.

But then, many “castes” are also, basically regional/ethnicities. In short, the rules which apply caste, are not uniform in any way and I would rather ridicule such an exercise than aid it.

A foreigner doesn’t need to have a caste, even if they wish to convert to Hinduism, when our argument is that we need to abolish caste in India in the first place.

And you can't argue with salad because its healthy, and we are too fat, and we aught to be trying to live longer lives even though there's no incentive for most of us to prolong our misery.
I agree. Hacking the ID field to include index data so the storage clustering is a bit more performant is not "treating the data as a black box" to my mind.
> But fixing this means that said "runtimes" (ie Gtk, et al) need to actually give a damn about backwards compatibility, which is certainly not something anyone on the desktop side of Linux above X11 cares [...]

Actually, I'd say hardly anyone above the kernel in Desktop Linux cares. Which is indeed among Desktop Linux's largest issues that will likely never be solved because its culture is unable to even comprehend the problem.
Rapes are a tragedy and need to be deal above the level of politics.

> Just because there was no outrage for X doesn't meant here shouldn't be outrage for Y.

Yes it is. What would be your thoughts if you are consistently fined but your neighbor is simply ignored for the same offense.

> I hope that, if nothing else, it leads to law and order becoming a major election issue

Ofcourse that is the entire story. There is no desire to change the system. For argument sake this will lead to the change in Government, what will change with that? Bringing back SP and Congress will improve the system? UP under SP was a horrible place.
These 2 parties have destroy UP over the years. Land of poets is now land of petty criminals.

And if this is the intention why spare Rajasthan and Kerala? Change their government also for the same reason. We will be changing Government every other day.

Once again I am not against outrage I am against using rape for political gain. But seems like you are ok with it.

> I don't get the conception that the top problem our world have is people being judged about what they said.

It is not just what we say, they also judge who we are in their own terms.

> It's the news cycle, the constant barrage of irrelevant information. The murder of effective discussion and thought.

I agree that it is a big problem. In some ways we are the most educated civilizations in the history of mankind and yet public discourse is the stupidest it has ever been. I think this happens also [1] because everything we said is taken out of context, therefore only the simplest ideas can travel among the public. Imagine that you are a politician that want to disagree with their own party, what do you think people will hear more probably:
1) they are a traitor
2) they fully support our cause, however they disagree with this particular course of action because X

Without spaces and community in which we can discuss freely and with trust, complex opinions are difficult to form and defend. Since most discussions are either moved online or are easily shareable online by even one party we need strong privacy norms to allow such discussions to happen.

[1] it is not the only reason, of course
true, so let's go back to physical world first ;)
I'm absolutely not suggesting you rely on a third party. It's very easy and preferable to pass around source code, and it's (by design) very easy to build GNU/Linux apps from the source.

Distributing binaries will absolutely bring about calls to lock computing down to 3rd party distributors because the kind of people that can't handle typing `./configure` are the same kind that will pull random maleware off of google.

Yes, but it's a straw man argument.
I'm trying to get a lower bound on spam PRs filed. If you sort by oldest (instead of by "relevance" as the parent commenter did) and do a spot check, you'll see that a lot of the PR's are legitimate: https://github.com/search?o=asc&q=amazing+project+created%3A...

Certainly, restricting to the title misses plenty of PRs. But his search provides 252 PRs, and I'd estimate that easily <100 of them are spam.
Targeted disinformation.
Depending on the extent, of course it is.

Imagine I'm taking Calculus 2 and I have a choice to learn the material and take the final exam "cold" or I can get the final exam a few months ahead of time and simply memorize the symbols I need to write into the exam booklet. The latter is self-evidently gaming the system.

When primary school teachers teach directly towards the assessment exam, they are only incidentally teaching the subject and are primarily (IMO) gaming the system as well.
But, they are way more likely to kill at all in the US. And that is a very large problem, not only of the police, but also of a society that believes everyone should carry a gun to be able to fight against "the state".
This isn't a matter simply for the young. The young are definitely hit harder, but the real issue is that "work" is not valued as it once was. The 'economy' is doing great. Stocks go ever higher despite pandemics and money trends. Taxes are low. Luxury spending is at an all time high. Investors, be them wealthy independants or pensioned former workers, are generally happy. Young people own nothing and so the bulk of their income must come through wages rather than investments. It is those workers, those who don't own their sources of income, that are struggling to make rent.
I'm not sure I follow your reasoning here. If you are so concerned about the security of your system that you want to run each program on a sandbox, then you definitely do not want to allow programs to "update" themselves by automatically downloading random binaries from the internet.

>Exactly, Americans seem to have this weird view that no-one's culture should mix.

Unless you replace "Americans" with "a small group of obnoxious loudmouths from the US on social media" in your statement, you don't reflect reality.

I heartily encourage you (once it's safe to do so) to come and visit New York City.

Have some pizza at a place run by Greeks.

Have a delicious bagel (I recommend an everything bagel with brie and tomatoes, yum!) at a bagelry[0] owned and run by a Thai family.

Have some ropa vieja with shrimp fried rice at one of many Chinese/Latin restaurants.

And a place near me has wonderful Callaloo and delicious curry goat.

And there are at least half a dozen places near me where I can get a tasty mofongo[1].

Or one of many Caribbean, Malaysian, Korean, Japanese, Brazilian, African and European restaurants, bars, music venues, festivals and all manner of other culture from six continents.

I was really sad when the French bakery near me closed. The croissant were nearly as good as the ones I had in Paris.

And that's just the food. Cultures, languages and customs mix freely here. While there certainly are distinct cultures, they are welcomed and often incorporated into the broader culture.

I think that you'd find that to be true in most urban areas (and many suburban ones).

That said, there are many places in the US which are not culturally or ethnically diverse at all.

Which isn't surprising. The US is big. It has ~75% of the population of the EU in an area more than twice the size of the EU.

Consider how homogeneous some areas of the EU are. Why is that? Is it because they're all bigots and 'limeys' don't want 'frogs' around, etc?

The thesis is pretty weak. Image boards can be visited by everyone and there are no membership cards. There isn't anything more public than that.

If you think of stormfront when talking about privacy, you seem to have learned that from pretty strange sources.

"Privacy cloisters extremism" is a pretty insane statement to be honest.

> I don't think 1 is more secure than 2

It depends - do the apps in version 1 dynamically link to system libraries that can be kept up to date? If they do, they may be more secure than the flatpak versions. If they simply come as statically linked blobs, then you are right.
General opinion for decades has been the Ferengi are specifically anti-Semitic stereotypes rather than generic Mediterranean-area stereotypes.
Reading a lot of these comments ... the number of indians making a point of calling out this bullshit on the part of their countrymen is honestly kind of awesome and I'm kinda proud of y'all.

Too many countries' populations would be more likely to be reflexively defensive instead.

Though I'm in england and grew up considering british indians' self deprecatory sense of humour something to aspire to, so ... I'm not going to tell you not to feel ashamed, but I -am- going to tell you that your comment mostly reminds me why I like the culture that leads you to say that :)
I don’t think that’s how economies work, but I accept I am likely to have a very flawed understanding of the field.

More people means more potential consumers, surely? So the only way there could be “too many people” is if the market is dominated by goods which have a high one-off cost and trivial per-unit costs, such as software or other digital goods?
Things don't have to be perfect, but they need to be honest.

To state that an application with full access to the host's filesystem is "sandboxed" is surely very harmful and very misleading.

> liberals care far more about proper culture signaling than they do about the much harder and more consequential work of actual politics.

I'd argue this is more about the political climate in the US (and many other places) than about liberals specifically. Arguably for "true liberals" this shouldn't be a consideration at all but might be for conservatives.

Yes (and you can take that argument to deliciously absurd levels by pointing out that eventually humanity would have to form a sphere whose radius expands faster than light speed).

But concerning the actual topic at hand, Japan's labor market problems have nothing whatsoever to do with a resource or land shortage.

This API does not implicitly give access to the camera or photos. The things that you are concerned about are already possible by doing the NN part server-side, or less efficently in software. If anything, keeping the NN part on the client allows for more privacy, not less.
I never quite understand what is so broken in package managers that a solution like this or snaps was a good idea.

Can someone tell me again what problems do this actually solve? Note: not being Mac-like is not an actual problem.
It was, and that's not altogether bad. A melting pot implies homogeneity and the loss of one's identity and history. A salad bowl is a pleasant mixing of everything, with each component still retaining its identity - a carrot is still a carrot, a radish is still a radish, and so forth. The irony is if I want to celebrate the zest of a radish then I'm told I'm being insensitive and appropriating the radish culture. As is so often the case we end up moving neither forward nor backward but sideways.

In the end I like the salad bowl metaphor because it scales well globally. We're a single human race, all different, yet all the same. It's appropriate to celebrate one another's histories so long as we're mindful of our collective future.

My blog (ahelwer.ca) uses Hugo hosted on gitlab pages; I notice that privacy badger flags two trackers on it, cloudflare CDN and google fonts. I'm assuming gfonts is because the Hugo theme I'm using uses a google-provided font and cloudflare CDN is there because it's automatically added by gitlab or something; anyone know how you can create a completely tracker-free experience? Do you basically have to stand up your own webserver on a cloud provider (or at home)? I guess without cloudflare or some other CDN you'd also have to hope your server can handle serving all the traffic directly. Or would a different static site generator like pelican help?
AppImage has a feature that neither Snaps nor Flatpak do: You don't need a repository or special manager for them to work. You can literally just take the AppImage file to (almost) any Linux Desktop on a thumb drive and run it.

You can already do that with Javascript, it is just less efficient than using the hardware meant to accelerate NNs.
Sometimes the easy way is all that there is capacity for. So I agree there are potentially better ways but IMO the world is better off with flatpak and docker than without them and we are free to still investigate and try better ways with all the time we save with docker and flatpak.

I for example use conan(.io) for some binaries - and there you can compose arbitrary packages - and theoretically it can serve as the basis for a package based approach to composition.
Off the top of my head:

- It could be in the interest of a government to make sure people aren't spreading what they would consider disinformation

- It is then in the government's interest to prevent the spread of disinformation, perhaps to identify those spreading it or those who may be inclined to spread it

- It's not a stretch then to consider that it could be in the interest of government, particularly one with malicious or authoritarian intent, to tap into private conversations of people suspected of spreading disinformation.

I find it particularly concerning, because I assume that what people within a society would consider disinformation is 1) inconsistent, 2) ephemeral.
