It doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be). Just use an email provider that respects you as a customer and don't put all your eggs into one corporate basket (especially not one that treats you as nothing more than data cattle). Horror stories like this one will, over time, educate people that this behavior pattern is dangerous.

IMO self-hosting is the ideal because that aligns responsibility with incentive (and it can be done extremely cheaply), but if not, there are paid email services that actually treat the user as a customer.
I went with Proggy TT with slashed zeros for a long time. Using a bitmapped font seems less necessary now that I have a 4k monitor, so I've defaulted to Consolas (in Visual Studio Code and also for my terminal sessions), which is nice enough that I haven't been actively looking for a replacement.
It is not an exact replica, it is made from concrete, and given the time it took to recreate and the fact that it was partly funded by donations, I would say it was made from a vantage point of love and admiration for the original.

does this include absolutely everything from your Google account, like all emails with attachments, google photos with album data, youtube videos from your channel, etc? If not, does someone know of a guide out there on how to export all of one's data from Google?
Yes, most of the 25m in Australia live in areas with similar densities as some parts of Europe, that still doesn't mean they're surrounded by several hundred million other people. The problem doesn't scale linearly, policing 750m people isn't like policing 25m people, especially when the 750m have a propensity to all shuffle around a bit, and live in 50 different jurisdictions.

My point is that the author isn't careful about the similarities and differences, the author just puts everything down to policy decisions and points of discourse that simply aren't the case in most of the places the author is describing.

> A little folding 2 wheel platform vehicle going 16kph is certainly no worse than a large Dutchman riding the same speed on a 35kg omafiets

A light bike doing 16 kph will knock you down but not seriously injure you unless you're unlucky.

Mopeds are doing more like 16 mph (25kmh) and easily weigh 70+ kg. That's a fast and heavy chunk of metal. If that hits you, you will be badly injured or killed. That changes the stakes of the bike paths from scraped knees to death or brain injury.

The browser world is moving forward very fast it is hard to keep tap on what is going on.
For instance I missed this:

Does some kind of site exists that gathers news about browser updates exist?

If you think the end of democracy will mean the end of people having power over you who don't know your name, I have some really bad news.
Interesting. I view the OP's position as a moral one. If you think it is extreme then you're suggesting one compromise ones morals to "come to the center" or whatever.

I mean, to throw in an admitted straw man, were abolitionists too extreme 150+ years ago?

In my nieces school (public school in Phoenix) they had to watch “the social dilemma” and write about it.

I was trying to explain to her how tik tok, Instagram etc. will try to influence her thinking, and she was basically like “Uncle Ryan yes I know. It’s an algorithm that wants to make you mad. We learned about it in school.”

I was proud.
Yea it was likely but that's different from certain. So why this snarky comment? Do you feel superior to the world now?
To add a fresh view on this:

Not American, so outside this particular story, but these artifacts of language are causing people to isolate, index on invisible and intangible impressions, confuse real people with symbols and objects, and act out by attacking people who they perceive as representing reflections of their internal model.

When you abstract away the meaning from television, the internet and entertainment, and look at what people physically do, they sit in front of a flickering light, talk themselves into a froth, and then go out and kill each other. There is a virus, and it is causing mass panic. It dislodges your ability to index on your physical experience of self and replaces it with an externally reflected one transmitted through language and filtered through an ego that has been isolated and fed like a foie gras duck or a veal calf. Whether you want to call it evil, a virus, society, or poor upbringing, doesn't matter. If it's words, it's a filtered reflection, and very likely a simulation for the virus to propagate its primitives and make a place for itself in your mind.

I don't see how this view could be any crazier than the ones causing people to wreck their own relationships and societies. If you can, help others step back.

To provide a story of the opposite, I'm another atheist with very center-left politics with extremely Trumpy Christian family (they moved out to a rural area, prepping with guns and supplies, the whole nine yards) and I never took the "high road" of being silent with them when they went on their tirades.

My rule was I never brought up religion or politics, but I would defend my religion and politics to the fucking end of the earth if you bring it up, condescend to me, attack my views with conservative media talking points etc.

And my family learned, through the years, to never ever touch the subject because it isn't worth another big the-family-versus-me as I'm max volume playing evidence debunking their stories on my cellphone louder than they can shout their next narrative.

It doesn't hurt that my grandfather is known to be "extraordinarily stubborn" and so, if he can, so can I, and if they accept his, they accept mine.

The result is very civil and completely de-politicized family events. It's actually lovely for everyone. They know to turn Fox News off and keep their opinions on politics to themselves, and we've continued to have an active and healthy relationship even though they live much further away.

Standing your ground isn't a bad option, because if your family doesn't respect you at all, why would you want to be around them anyway?

Why precisely is it "reprehensible" to entrust your child to a short trip in the care of someone who you know and see on a regular basis, and who will be heading in that direction shortly with his vehicle?

Would you consider daycare centers and the like to be more or less reprehensible?
Compute shaders in WebGL would be great. But why would they improve the performance in this case? Right now it's implemented as a fragment shader, which to me seems appropriate here.
I’m putting one together soon. The retrotink ultimate stopped being made last year, which is very sad. The community hasn’t picked up the source yet. It’s a matter of time though. I’m going with a PI2SCART for video output. I would use this Raspi 400, but the GPIO location is not well suited for hats.

I’m going this route because I also want the flexibility to have a computer on my CRTs. If you want pure gaming, then look into MiSTer FPGA.
But you can say "we have emails where he admits to doing this" in a court room, even though emails can be trivially faked. You just have to provide information about how you got the emails and how you know they're authentic. Is there a reason to expect video will be more problematic as it becomes easier to fake?
If all you need is a few VMs, then there's no real reason you have to be stuck on a single provider. If OVH only has servers on the east coast, then you find another provider for the west coast. I've never used OVH, but I doubt creating an account with them (and other providers) is difficult. Shopping around is the only way to get the best prices.

Maybe it's mildly annoying to have to deal with multiple hosting accounts, but that's a small price to pay for potentially huge savings, IMO.
The video mentioned high FPS, but from my experience, it was extremely slow and clunky. I notice that they were using React and probably using it incorrectly.

Personally for me, it was the double standards of boomers that made me raise my voice within the family. My grandparents came "illegally" from Europe. Caging their kids would have caused outrage. They are outraged at trees dying in their parks but its ok if entire cities drown elsewhere. White mentally deranged criminal => "poor kid", black criminal "those uncivilized people". We want tax cuts but we also want massive social security and medicare payments.

And the worst of all, the mental gymnastics to justify Trump's actions.

I raised my voice and have only cursory ties with them. My entire life is ahead of me and I don't want to go back to their era of bigotry. These boomers will die in 15 years but I can't leave their racist, sexist and selfish legacy to myself and my children.
I'm not sure if it even counts as "news", but it means that an infected-then-recovered person would be "resistant" for at least six months, which is exactly what the SIR model of infections would suggest.

There were some suggestions that Covid-19 would be an exception to this somehow, and having recovered, you would still be just as susceptible to getting it again. Which, if it had been true, would have been really bad news, although I suppose it would also have meant there was no reason to wait for a vaccine, because if even the actual virus itself doesn't teach your immune system to look out for it, then there's no way a vaccine could.

But, it's good scientific/medical work to verify that it works like most other viruses, and people who have recovered, are at least almost always going to be resistant thereafter (for at least six months, because that's all the time that has passed yet, although evidence from SARS suggests 10 years or more).
I don't think it is an extremest position to paint Trump and his supporters as largely fascist. Just yesterday I had to hear about voter intimidation by Trump supporters in my own home town. That's not the actions of a few nutters, that's action called for and promoted by Trump himself. At the risk of Godwinning, this is straight out of the Nazi playbook. It is not ok to ignore that we are potentially becoming a fascist state.

I think you’re confusing your lack of knowledge of the commonality of this with the assumption that it is rare. I don’t know anyone who expects a Pi with SD to last more than a year. And the “solution” is always to buy the more expensive SD cards that last longer. And that’s not a solution. It’s time for Raspberry to give up the SD card for a real form factor. I can get a 120gb nvme that’ll likely never fail in my lifetime of Pi usage, or carry two mirrored SD cards for the inevitable failure that’ll happen when I can’t re-image a machine (like in flight - https://stratux.me)
There is a link between these games that means a faithful update isn't possible. Both involve slavery. In both, the player can actively trade human lives, including the capture of slaves. Even in Colonization, where such depiction may be historically accurate, it is just too sensitive an area.
My concern is that almost anything that fits in a C64 will run out of the L1 cache in most modern CPUs and yield very unrealistic results compared to reasonable modern workloads.
You have the option to pursue legal action without the DMCA. The problem with the DMCA is that it lets would-be rights holders take down content without any due process - without any other party even reviewing their claim.

An interesting perspective, but GDPR also requires them to delete data according to policy. If, by their policies, the data should still be held, then you have the right to access it. If they deleted it contrary to policy, that would itself be a breach of GDPR, and you would likely have strong grounds to sue and seek relief. If the data was to be held pending court action and they deleted it, that could get even more serious for them, and into the contempt-of-court territory.
The governments will get it right this time. They just need absolutely authority to ensure it goes smoothly for everyone.

In the early days, you could spot one by the lack of blinking because the model was trained on open-eyed images. Not sure if that's still the case, I'd be surprised if it was.

Any time I see a "this is peak technology" comment, I'm always reminded of the PC gaming magazine cover showing the first Unreal game's graphics ("Yes, that's an actual PC screenshot!").

You always have a DR offsite, even if you are hosting on Big Cloud that would be sensible to setup.

Your RTO and RPO needs will dictate your DR setup in both scenarios. Most apps can take few hours hit if the alternative is spending 2-3x .
Most investments are not $50k into an ice cream stand but $50k into the stock market. Also someone with $50 million can still invest into an ice cream stand but someone with $50k cannot be an early investor into a tech company.

I have to laugh at this one. Git is a decentralized VCS, that was effectively re-centralized (via Github) for the sake of convenience.
The synthetic media apocalypse is even worse then these examples. The ability for liberal democracy to exist at all is highly in doubt. We need serious leadership to be attacking this problem head-on. Instead, I'm pretty sure that our current administration (in the US but also elsewhere) only see it as a welcome propaganda tool.
Fair point, I was referring to the unpaid version.

With the office 365 support I did have a minor accounting issue that they didn’t intend to fix and support tried some standard responses (I needed the billing company name to be different from the Domain/account name, which isn’t possible and the support didn’t know and asked me to do a bunch of things before I figured out through a post that it’s not possible - an edge case that isn’t too much of an issue unlike being locked out)
That view makes sense if the only alternatives are democracy, extreme localism, and benign anarchy. A brief historical survey should suffice to demonstrate that there are, in fact, other less pleasant alternatives.

Google isn't doing this out of the goodness of their heart. They're expecting to make money off of every signup in some way. Directly or indirectly. If they want to continue their dominant status, then they should be responsive in some way to their users.

Sure, they have the right to cut off users any time they like. But it's ultimately self-destructive. Once trust is lost, it's difficult to regain it. I've moved away from my Google dependencies as much as I can, and have urged friends and family to do so as well. I'm only influential with around two dozen people, but once you start multiplying people like me by the millions, then Google has a problem.

And I'd argue it's at least a little immoral. Their services, especially Gmail, were set up in a way to make users highly dependent upon them. Google wanted that dependency for their path to near-monopoly status. To suddenly cut them off without the option of support or a clean exit creates real world chaos as the users try to pick up the pieces. Your email address might not be used much socially these days, but it's crucial for business contacts. For logins and customer interactions. The loss of it can cause serious damage. Google may not be legally responsible for the damage caused by a user's loss of their free services, but they're arguably morally responsible. Maybe they should pop up a warning to everyone using Gmail: "Don't rely on us. We're not going to do anything to help you if you can't use it one day."
Kjöfel and Sonique were two other Winamp competitors. The great thing about each of these is they have a cool, skinnable interface. Makes it stand out compared to the rest of your software. You don't want all of your software that way though, and if you look at macOS HIG that wins. Including iTunes.
It’s twitter. I genuinely believe in the next 10 years or less, twitter will be looked at the way we look at cigarettes.

There was a point when cigarettes were looked at as a mere nuisance, but eventually we as a society realized how terrible they are for us.

That’s twitter. And to be clear: I mean twitter specifically. Facebook and the others are bad as well, but twitter is by far the worst. Tech journalists don’t tend to write about it though since they are the ones using it. They’d rather write about Facebook.

C++ Runtime Polymorphism with std:variant and std:visit
Hey Jeff, I recently bought the RPi Keyboard Hub (Pictured in OP and In parent blog) for its soft keys (Got bone issues), I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. I use Wacom Touch Tablet for trackpad along with a Steel series mouse in its Hub; But I'm worried about saturating the bandwidth as it's just USB 2.0 although I haven't found any conclusive issues.

Have you tested the Keyboard hub's limits? Controller seems to be QinHeng Electronics USB-Serial.
There's a project that did that but for a different purpose - a network KVM using a Pi4 - https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/

It had to use the one USB-C connector that's used for power for emulating the keyboard and mouse since that's the only one that supported USB-OTG. So you kind of either need PoE or another adapter to both power the device and be able to hae the Pi act as an input device.

A saying I've had for quite a while: the left pioneers really bad ideas, and the right implements them at scale.

Identity politics is a great example. Late 20th century leftists brought identity politics into fashion, but it was the right that really took it and ran with it with Bush's politics of the "base" and then Trump's identity politics.

A deeper example would be "culture jamming" and the maybe-ironic prankster/trickster political style. That came out of the 60s/70s left with stuff like the Church of the Subgenius, and stuff like alternate reality gaming (ARGs) pioneered in the 90s. The intellectual basis for it ultimately comes from postmodernism. The right is now weaponizing this style and implementing it at scale with Qanon.

Edit since it won't let me reply:

I'd define identity politics as the idea that your biology or cultural background places you in a group that should define your ideas and political affinities.
I'm not sure we can rule out the idea that reinfection after 6 months is common but almost always asymptomatic in people with healthy immune systems. There was that British common cold coronavirus challenge trial where most subjects could be reinfected after 1 year, confirmed by PCR, but none of them developed symptoms.

The paranoid style is also self-reinforcing. The more you present your opponents as dangerous, the more people are encouraged to amp up the rhetoric. Compromises have to be presented as impossible -- if you compromise with them they can't be all that bad.

After a while, it becomes self-fulfilling. If your opponents are your enemies, then you act like their enemy, and they have to perceive you as one. Fringe elements of your own side will eventually escalate to violence. And you won't discourage them too much -- if you've ceded the middle, you need to keep your extremes.

It's not clear to me that Gandhism will succeed as a policy. Sometimes it works; sometimes you get bowled over. Gandhism requires a charismatic leader who can focus attention. Without that, you just seem boring and ineffective. It's especially hard today, when social media can quickly spread anti-Gandhi propaganda. Even Gandhi isn't Gandhi today; he's got a lot of negative things on his record and they'd eat him alive.

So you may eventually become enemies for real, and not just as a matter of rhetoric. Breaking that self-reinforcing loop may be impossible.
