After a downvote encouraged me to re-read the article more carefully it seems the OP wants to be able to see only the thumbnail (and maybe the filename) - not a thumbnail that is part of the list view with further details.

Older builds of Gnome only seemed to use the generic icon for the file type, so it does sound like there has been progress here - if not enough to satisfy the OP.
In context, Twitter sees this as encouraging the violent minority of his supporters to do whatever they like at the inauguration, since he will not be there, only Pence, Biden and Harris.
This is exactly how bitmessage worked. The problem was that spammers would be able to flood the network with crap so to counter that it was added that proof of work must be completed to have your message forwarded on. The problem with this is it means you could not send a message from a mobile device because the PoW required was too high.

Also a method to reduce the amount of traffic required was called streams. Instead of reviving all messages, you would be able to know what stream the receiver is on and then the receiver would just listen to all messages on stream 5. This scales up infinitely since you can just balance the network so all streams have hundreds of thousands of users on them.
How have you been managing VAT currently with Chargebee? Is this built in with them?
Not true at all. First and foremost, "the whole number of the House has long been viewed as the number of Members elected, sworn, and living". So if they murdered all of the Democrats the remaining Republicans would have enough members to maintain a quorum.

But there are other ways to get around this as well. Specifically, read sections:

- Quorum in the Case of Catastrophic Circumstances

- Voting and Quorum Procedures in the House of Representatives
We're not censoring anything.

They changed their transponders to either military stuff or ModeC which can't be easily identified.

TIS-B are traffic information broadcast by ATC so we're not getting signals directly from the aircraft.
Did you look into multi-cloud solutions like Pulumi or Terraform to abstract your cloud vendor?
A desktop for most people is a crutch (plunger) for their disorganized computer (clogged toilet). I think the suggestion that desktops aren't necessary is a good one.

Several years ago, I started turning desktop icons off (both GNOME and Windows make this easy) and it really helped my organization, as I was then forced to competently organize files into Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos directories instead of vomiting everything onto the desktop. Simply _knowing_ where files are located is faster than scanning a cluttered desktop.

As a bonus I don't ever have to worry about the positions of my desktop icons changing.

File picker definitely needs thumbnails though.
Many years ago I was a hit by a bug in the Gnome file chooser (on ubuntu) that selected a random sibling file in the same directory. Caused me to accidentally upload something I definetely didn't want to publish.

In fact I have never since directly uploaded anything from my own personal file directories, instead I make a copy of it under /tmp for the upload process.

Not sure if this is the same bug you are talking about
Isn’t that “better” in some sense? You don’t have to actually categorize anything in order to find it later. Just type what you want and let tracker pull it up for you.

If I could just “accio my black jeans” I wouldn’t bother organizing my closet.
At what point does a platform stop being a platform? Should we expect that lower level internet non profit organisations to also support the bans on abhorrent content?

It feels to me as if that clear line is getting fuzzier recently.
"Not sure I follow. Do you think Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Jack Dorsey and other shareholders of FB/Alphabet/Twitter are a minority who need protection from being oppressed? "

All I am saying is that "the elected government did so" does not automatically make it OK or the right thing to do.

Personally I am not a fan of government intervention in private companies.

Many people in this discussion have made the point that for example Parler could simply move their servers elsewhere. Likewise, nothing forces people to use Google, Facebook or Twitter.
ModeC MLAT ... is theoretically possible but you can't tell the aircraft identity and implementation is complicated and not planned.
As long as the underlying Go-Whatsapp (https://github.com/Rhymen/go-whatsapp) protocol implementation is byte-for-byte identical to the original Whatsapp Web client protocol, it should be indistinguishable.
Yes God forbid the people who spent the last four years raging against the rest of the country and telling everyone how disgusted they were with liberals and progressives and Democrats and city-dwellers and how they wanted to burn the system down, dance on the ashes and drink our bitter cuck tears and then who stormed the Capitol, planted pipe bombs, likely planned to take hostages, defecated and urinated in people's offices and who beat a police officer to death while intending to overturn an election at the behest of the sociopathic President half of them elected twice purely out of spite... suffer ridicule.

What kind of monsters will we have become to make fun of these poor broken fragile snowflakes? Will no one think of the traitors?
This practice is called "Brand bidding" and is actually extremely common among competitors. Occasionally companies will mutually agree to not participate.

It's actually surprising why it's not perceived to be more hostile.
There is a company in China called all-sun. One source I found by a search but unfamiliar with any actual embedded power source. Good luck.
just fyi your thermal laser printers link on the about page is broken. I didn't have a hard time finding the page but still wanted to bring it to your attention.
Even worse is when you know the exact file name that you want to open, and the interface fights against you writing it! For example I want to open /tmp/a.png, but there's thousands of files on /tmp and the cursor disappears while "loading" them, and and some characters of the file name are lost, or typed on different parts of the interface.
If you read the article more closely than I did originally there is an example of what I see in their original article [0]. The thumbnail is part of the list view and they want to see a thumbnail without the other file details.

Given the current mass (for some values of "mass") migration, there will be some people who have very low tech knowledge but read enough about migrating to signal and WhatsApp being bad, that they'll search for "Signal" and will try the first communicator that comes up. Not sure if they will be fooled for long, but still... People are fooled by basic spam and they will be fooled by this.

You keep talking about the "code" / "code base". I'm talking about the whole project and how MS has been advertising itself. Open Source is NOT the same as "source available" and MS has not been advertising itself as "hearts source-available".

> ... more stuff for free.

Again, your perspective makes sense only if you think of "Free as in Beer" and not "Free as in Freedom". _Microsoft_ held _itself_ up to the latter standard, not random people on the internet.
I just don't even use the picker. Most sites support just dragging the image from Nautilus.
Part of the reason no one wants to put in the work is because all it takes is a technical dictator to say "I don't like this approach, let's rethink this", and scuttle your weeks of work. Even if you got a sign-off on the approach earlier. This has happened enough times to me in open source projects that I only submit code to projects that I know have reasonable maintainers that I've interacted with in the past.

Developers frequently hate it when "product people" get a say in the direction of the product, but the alternative is commonly to have developers prioritize perceived code purity over actual user interests. And emphasis on "perceived", because usually the codebase is a hot mess but maintainers want it to be their hot mess, not someone else's.
The causation you're indicating is not clear at all to me. You seem to be saying, "Poor people prefer Big Macs therefore that's what they get, and no grocery stores."

But an equally valid observation is that the lack of grocery stores and the presence of fast food and gas stations/corner stores produce an apparent preference without indicating a real preference.
What is the best open-source equivalent of this?

We do all the time. That's how cultural norms are enforced.
Gotcha, thank you
This assumes that there are no serious negative externalities to the scorched earth mentality. It’s easy to assume nothing serious could go wrong; I disagree, I think it could potentially be very harmful, and I wish we didn’t have to find out how that might happen.

Of course I am not actually against every time someone gets deplatformed; I think it is reasonable from a community standpoint to, for example, ban the doomsday cult garbage. That’s not a matter of banned opinion to me, even though it leans on a gray area.
It's possible that Facebook isn't intentionally targeting Signal.

When buying App Store ads, the default is to use a "broad match" for the keywords you enter -- i.e. Apple automatically decides what keywords are similar to the keywords you selected and runs your ads against those as well.

It's pretty annoying because there's no way to switch the default -- you have to remember to put your keywords in brackets to disable it -- but probably great for Apple's revenue.
I don't buy that explanation at all. The underlying assumption here seems to be something like this:

"Everyone eats X calories per day. If those calories are "healthy food" they will get fat, and if those calories are "unhealthy food" they will not get fat."

That simply isn't the way things work. One calorie of a McDonalds milkshake is interchangeable with one calorie of broccoli with respect to how much weight it causes you to gain. The reason that people in this country are too fat is because we have a culture that enjoys eating too much.

This is incredibly obvious to me as a person who has had to lose 100+ pounds before. I atomically facepalm every time I have conversations with obese family members who have blatant misconceptions about physical fitness. There's certainly a lack of education and understanding of this issue in America. It's a damn shame that we have not solved this problem.

Furthermore, the reason why poor people (and yes, that disproportionately includes minority groups) tend to have higher rates of obesity is not that they don't have access to healthy food. The whole notion that it is possible to be "fat because of poverty" is absolutely absurd because an obese person always has the option of simply eating less. The true reason why poor people tend to be fat at higher rates America is because low class people universally have a certain mindset. This mindset is characterized by not having the discipline to reject good things when they are presented. It's just like how a poor person who is given a large amount of money becomes "hood rich" while a person who was born into a rich family was taught from an early age how to control themselves when it comes to spending money.
> As for a lack of system tray icons, the practical upshot is that my system bar isn't littered with multiple special snowflake applications, each with their own unique icon art style and mismatching proportions.

Plasma Desktop's System Tray widget that lets you hide icons you don't want to see. You can disable the widget, or configure it to show no icons at all.

> They have and do change their practices to fit the global region they operate in so the "un-american" critique would be moot.

I'm not sure what this means. They are behaving poorly HERE. I am not criticizing them for the crazy stuff they do elsewhere. That's an entirely different conversation.
Probably the ONLY thing he has gotten right in his entire reign. Mexico is a failed, totally corrupt, narco state that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens from narcotics smuggled by mexicans across the US border and distributed in every US state by cartel operatives. Way more deaths than Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
One has to surmise that the only reason US tanks have not rolled into Mexico to clean up this mess is that US politicians must be in on the take.

1. If you look into Credit Card World Wide, Amex and Discover Cards aren't even viable outside US.

2. If you look at transaction, Amex and Discover may have higher processed transaction value of something like 15% in US. But if you look at transition volume, Visa / Master are 90%+.

3. Both are Credit Card only. Debit Card is where the majority are using for Payment.

3. Consider there are no other electronic / digital payment method that is as ubiquitous as Visa / Master payment network ( ignoring Asia ) and they are the baseline method for e-payment, as well as an extreme high level barrier of Entry. The two are considered as Duopoly.
Actually coding is about both. Proving your smartness _by_ making things people can work with, because they are simple. Creating a C++ template madness is not that smart in the end.

Really smart people invest time into making their code very readable and at the same time manage to give it the required layers of abstraction and flexibility in a way that does not confuse the reader. They make their code in a way, that enables them or others to write tests for it. They think about the concepts needed in the project. Find a good trade-off between simplicity and flexibility and if you are a true master of finding good abstractions, manage to choose a simple abstraction to get simplicity and flexibility at the same time. At least that is being smart to me.
I am not dismissing anything you are saying as they are all clearly part of the problem. I simply think the timelines for these big societal changes don't match the numbers from the obesity epidemic for them to be the primary factors.
While reading about Jesus drinking wine. :) I think the compromise is practical and also in line with the advice of the apostles. Nothing wrong with drinking, but drunkenness is a risk in many ways.
Most urbanized societies don't have quite the suburb plague that the US has. It's much easier to get physical activity just by existing (walking to/from bus and train stations or to the office in many cases).
Ya this is kind of a non-story. They were probably bidding on 'Signal' prior to this current set of events anyways. And since Signal doesn't appear to be bidding on it's own name, Facebook is probably paying very little for that top spot.
I thought that Garry Wills's translation was pretty good. I hear very good things about Frank Sheed's translation, but haven't bothered to get it.
These don't seem like the sort of jumps I had in mind. I meant the wholesale import of a school of knowledge to a new place. As happened for instance with the arrival of many modern sciences in the US; lots of fields where everybody's family tree goes back to germany.

The germans you mention were certainly well-informed about foreign traditions, but their knowledge didn't create a living continuation of these traditions where they ended up.

(The context is, since it's been a few hours, was a claim that education was a way to circumvent this 50-year institutional forgetting, which I took to mean national institutions. And the counter-claim is that many places have good education and terrible institutions, why haven't they imported this ersatz institutional memory? If it works for local preservation, why doesn't it work for international transplanting? And I don't completely know, but the successful international knowledge grafts seem to be technical subjects. )
thanks, this is some good insight!
Progressive use is up since mozjpeg and some other tools (CDNs perhaps?) started defaulting to it. My guesswork is that during the last eight years of format development the biggest winner is progressive JPEG (from 8 % to 25 % of JPEG use). The 'green men' problem and interpolation of progressive JPEG have been fixed recently.
If discussing sedition is so bad, how do you feel about the leftists who proposed a #Calexit when Trump came to power?

Pretty sure if people would discuss terrorism on Parler, it would be a case for the police, not for Parler mods.

As for the "see who gets banned on Parler" argument, isn't it always a bad argument to say "but they are just as bad as we are"? I'd say that aspect is irrelevant to the discussion (I mean the banning behavior of Parler), as we are discussing the actions of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Google and Amazon, not of Parler.
App Store Ads are genuinely awful. I have yet to find any that have been anything but spam apps or companies buying their competitor's keywords. They quite definitely make the App Store worse.
Aren't there plenty of little UX niggles in macOS/windows just like this that haven't been fixed for years either? I'm not sure why this is being used as a reason why "Free desktop operating systems are a joke".

I think "use KDE" is perfectly valid advice here too. The toilet analogy doesn't really hold, your satisfaction of software that works for you shouldn't be at all affected by the existence of software you don't like and don't use, that's just silly.
The analogy of drawing more current doesn't really work in this case.
If there was demand for good food people would open shops selling it. It happens all the time in Europe, you see poor people open cheap shops selling basic food in poor areas.
I’ve lived in the US and EU too. My experience was we have fan assisted ovens in the EU whereas ones I saw in the US had a top and bottom element with no fan assist.
Serverless versus Containers
While you're technically correct, you're also making a conversion right there, which increases your ad relevancy score on most auction driven platforms including Google and — ironically — Facebook, which in turn leads to this ad actually getting _cheaper_ to run for the advertiser on other customers coming after you.

I'm not in deep enough to tell you whether that's a net loss or benefit, but it's probably close enough to zero...
I’m not sure if this is still the case as I haven’t used desktop Linux for about a year now, but what made this extra irritating is that the file name would be highlighted already! How on earth can selected text in an in-focus modal window not be the target of keyboard input?
> At this point we are heading towards a complete mitosis of our information channels based on political ideology.

This isn't a new thing though? People have always sought out information channels that reinforce their own views. Twitter/FB/Youtube were already infamous for presenting entirely different streams of content to left and right wing audiences. When they were less popular it was Fox vs MSNBC/CNN etc. and before that the newspaper you read.

The issue we're seeing now is that people are being attacked by a torrent of information. You're much more likely to be radicalised if every 5 minutes you get a tweet notification about the latest "deep state paedophilia ring"; compared to receiving a monthly newsletter that can be analysed and picked apart in the interim period.
I have this bill and another denomination that is also in the trillions. When I asked the guy how much, he looked it up, shrugged with a laugh and said "You can have them both for 25 cents each." Then he joked that I better buy it quick because the value was dropping so fast, he might end up having to pay me to take it off his hands. Negative value. Because of how worthless they were, there are probably huge numbers of them circulating around with amateur collectors.

They're of historical interest, and definitely a conversation piece, but that's about it.

I buy and sell a few things with him over the years, so I thought that was fun.

I come from a very different background, so it’s mostly idle curiosity as well. I’ll take a look and if something looks interesting I might dig into it in a post or two
On macOS, when you drag a file into an Open or Save panel, the panel’s current directory switches to the dragged file’s containing directory and highlights that dragged file.

On Windows, when you drag a file into an Open or Save panel, the dragged file is moved from its original location to the panel’s current directory. It is a destructive action!

That may be one little thing but it’s part of a whole number of reasons why I dislike using Windows. Alas, all the counter arguments to any and all reason I might give for preferring macOS do sound like toilet-plunging family members.

Some amount of voter fraud can swing an election. You could instead have more fraud in the direction that simply reenforces results. Is that more or less of a fraud problem? Creating fictional voting entities is highly problematic. Casting a vote a second after polls officially close is less problematic. It is enlightened to remember there are no absolutes. This allows one to see nuance rather than believing the only choices are no-fraud or fraud.

Food deserts doesn't exist in most countries though, it is an American thing. Nowhere else is it hard to go find basic groceries you can use to cook anywhere.
Your comment could be read as suggesting that private companies are above the law.

I assume you mean just "this particular sort of anti-competitive behavior is legal because it's all within their private service".
And this is the narrative that I'm speaking of when I mention how these discussions go. It's a gish-gallop of saying that since we have imperfect knowledge, we can't draw a single conclusion about phenomena and systems that are well documented. First it's the lack of studies, then you get a study and it's a hidden bias in the populations used in the study, then it's the "low sample size" (that's a favorite), after that it's p-hacking or whatever else.

And it goes on and on, even though for hundreds of years, the country and society were tuned to ensure that the black community enjoyed degraded outcomes in all aspects of life.

I'd love to try Nix. But, I'm using an Nvidia Jetson environment, which is based on a preinstalled Ubuntu 18.04, probably with lots of specific driver configurations that I don't want to touch (or reinvent). I've also learned that running Nix on top of Ubuntu is not the greatest idea, see e.g. [1].
