I'm not saying CMake itself doesn't work. Though I have run into both "CMake version is too old!" and "CMake version is too new!", which by its nature can't happen with autotools.

Spot on, YouTube was once full of people like that.
“After this, we’re going to walk down and I’ll be there with you. We’re going to walk down. We’re going to walk down any one you want, but I think right here. We’re going walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women. We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”
They failed us to sell WhatsApp to FB while the networks effects are (at least in Europe) in full effect. I simply can't abandon WhatsApp due to this now.
Hate speech is not protected speech, it's always been that way, even in the US.
Any user that wants to could continue using Apple's curated store and apps, regardless of anyone else sideloading... just like the average Android user.

That has nothing to do with them going out of their way to make it impossible to sideload anything.

Apple preventing me from installing a social network by some group people don't like is akin to Ford not letting my car drive to a store owned by people they don't like. Do you think I should have to find a different car manufacturer to drive where I want?
The next Zoom wants to be nothing like Zoom
The argument that @realDonaldTrump was viewpoint discrimination is because that twitter account was being used as a defacto mouthpiece of the US government. As such, people engaging with it are entitled to 1A protection.

That doesn't mean that Donald Trump is entitled, either as an individual, or as POTUS, to have a Twitter account.
There's nothing particularly fascinating about this. Different language articles will use a range of different language sources.
What’s so good about it? There’s a lot of musing about why this wasn’t a suicide, but for all the claims of relative certainty it makes it doesn’t once refer to one of the existing cases of pilot suicide we already know of. If this theory is correct, there’s already precedence to show how it fits into past events as well, but there’s not a word about it.
You can’t sell food without compelled speech (nutrition labels). You can’t sell medicine without compelled speech (side effect warnings).

There’s plenty of existing examples of compelled speech. We could simply say, “you cannot run a public/large forum without allowing mostly free speech”.

There's a big difference between consoles and iPhones.

Firstly, the iPhone is used predominantly as a general purpose computing device, whereas a console is definitely not.

Secondly, pretty much every console has been locked down, whereas it's very new for a GP computing device to be this locked down.

Like, I understand the argument here, but the scale of people using only an iPhone makes it dangerous to give Apple this much power.

Imagine if MS could do this back in the 90s on Windows, would that have been acceptable?
Agreed, this is one of the biggest issues I see. Anywhere you install a custom controller essentially has access to ~all of your resources. What could go wrong?
If you take a look at https://www.allsides.com/blog/capitol-hill-breach-riot-cover..., you'll see a deep analysis of a double standard in how media covered this riot versus other such events (including past riots at the capitol!).

A significant number of riots took place in 2020, and this is true even in DC. For example just take a look at the photos and videos in https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/fires-light-..., which shows damage on a far greater scale than this recent capitol riot. Lots of people and organizations on Twitter or Facebook had organized these events, which included looting, property damage, vandalism, assaults, arson, and more. Many politicians, such as AOC, condoned and even encouraged these events (see https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/13480304421596897...). This extends to news media as well, who often mislabeled violent riots as "peaceful protests" and excused them or covered them in a sympathetic way (see https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/07/media-downplays-blm-antic... or https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/rage-at-capitol-assault-makes-...). All these actors were inciting violence, certainly to the standard Twitter uses to judge them (https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...).

These other past events included much more significant economic damage in the billions and many more deaths than the capitol riot. So why are all those people and organizations allowed to continue using their social media accounts? Why weren't those same participants, organizes, enablers, and sympathizers criticized just as heavily by politicians, news media, social media, and others? This is a clear double standard, where criminality and violence is permitted if those who are in control of these platforms (news outlets, tech companies) agree with your cause and share your ideology.
this!

h264 is the most widely supported codec to decode in hardware, so the inclusion of a software decoder in the browser is kinda moot.
Lord, I hate the Rationalists' tendency to write long articles with so little structure. I don't understand how people make it through a post like this, which has a ton of juicy parts but doesn't stick to a thesis and doesn't commit to clarity.
Actually they did. People were using facebook groups to post ISIS decapitations and recruit people. I even reported a few of these groups myself. Facebook never shut them down.

Remember those cases were Facebook was promoted to use violence and persecutions against religious minorities across the globe? And then after the investigations, Facebook just brushed it off as "oh, that, sorry we didn't know"?

Reddit was full on anti china rage exactly a year ago, so much so, that the moderators of the covid subgroups themselves started moderating it in a way that allowed for some objectivity one of the covid groups.

I guess the difference here is that Facebook, Twitter and Reddit who have been prospering with this poison are now at a point where they can no longer play the ignorance card, which is why they banned a certain individual.

The main contrast is that Parler's rhetoric is that they'll take all the discards from the other platforms.
Government contracts don't change the requirements of the Government to deliver the mandated services.
Windows bundles software decoders (for H.264 and H.265) that are available through MFT and DXVA.[1][2] Chromium leverages both already.[3] It's also a low effort way to support hardware-accelerated decoding as vendors (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA) register MFTs that wrap their propriety SDKs (Quick Sync, AMF, NVDEC).

These provided MFTs have to meet certain minimum requirements for certification by Microsoft, which amounts to "good enough." Results vary in practice and can be incredibly frustrating (especially encode). It's often better to use the underlying SDKs but that comes with a lot of hassle.

I am in complete agreement that there must be consequences for the Capitol riot.

> You think it stops here? Are they encouraged, or discouraged? If nothing happens to them, what do you think they'll do next? This isn't over.

I don’t think it stops here. That’s sort of what I was getting at. Will censorship result in less violence or more violence? The assumption is that it turns the temperature down, but where is the precedent for that?

“Free Speech” - not just the technical definition but the culture of it - is a core American value. Having it suppressed so quickly and broadly may actually result in more violence.

I fear that we’re at the beginning of the American “Troubles”
Implicitly comparing a terrorist organisation like ISIS with a large chunk of the US electorate (more people have voted Trump the second time round compared to the first) it's pretty damn dangerous, nothing good can come out of it.
Promotion of violence is NOT part of your free speech rights though. If I go to a bar and start loudly suggesting I’m going to attempt to kill someone, surely the police if they hear about this will step in to find out if the threat is credible. Now if my bar has people discussing murdering people all the time, it’s become my bar that the police are going to close down. Freedom of speech has always been about criticism of government, it’s not a right to be able to say whatever mad illegal stuff pops into your head.
TL;DR We don't need ads.

There's a possibility to add donation links and the icon is then visible on every video. Patreon is big for a reason: people actually use it.

I'd rather donate to the content creators I want to see thrive than be bombarded with ads for things I don't want anyway.

The peertube devs refuse to incorporate monetization beyond donations, but they DO have a plugin system. It's not beyond imagination for someone (person or group) to add something like "paid scrobbling" where people add e.g 5€ on their account and then it's divided depending on certain criteria. That criteria could be for example:

- always give 50% to my subscriptions

- give the rest to creators of videos that I have watched which:

* have these tags

* are longer than 5 minutes

* and that I have watched at least 50% or 5 minutes of, which ever comes first

All of these would be opt-in or course to reduce the likelihood of uploaders artificially lengthening or shortening their videos (those magic 10 minutes on youtube), or trying to discover common user settings and tailoring their videos to fit those settings.

Tada. No ads, user-defined distribution of resources, yada yada.
And particularly, the New Democrats since the concept of neoliberalism crosses the aisle.

> The whole "if you don't like it, vote with your dollars" angle doesn't really work when a handful of companies own, control and host 99.999% of social media.

"Voting with your dollars" means taking your dollars and giving them to the 0.001% that agree with you. Then this will strengthen them a little so they may become 0.0011% or whatever.

Any large social movement should be able to support a share of the economy commensurate to its size, complete with their own journalists, printing presses, leaflet distributors, radio stations, TV shows, phone factories, app stores and social media apps, or whatever communication infrastructure they want to use.

Of course that requires lots of work, but if that work is divided by the number of people involved, it becomes manageable again (after all, the whole rest of society manages just fine).

If people want to skip that work and instead rely on others to provide them with everything, they shouldn't be surprised if they don't get exactly what they want.
I didn't equate Trumps actions to ISIS, I tried to illustrate that somewhere, a line needs to be drawn, and that there is apparently an established consensus for this (this being that no one complained about free speech when it wasn't granted to ISIS)
If I was still an edgy teen(surprised Im not are you), Id be actively looking to join the banned groups. I'm worried that these edge places wont have many voices of reason left to turn them away. This will further radicalize. I was curious, how does twitter deal with the real terrorist groups? Isis and Al Q were big til not long ago.

-Understanding the network of pro-ISIS Twitter accounts can help uncover who the primary actors are, how content propagates through the network, and improve the monitoring of ISIS activities.

We are just allowing more horrible stuff to happen in a few years down the line. I thought this freedom of speech was ingrained into this culture - I guess only ideally not practically.
That's pretty realistic for Russia, Russia is big and non-homogenous with the most of wealth concentrated in 2-3 cities.
I moved my entire family onto it easily. But they are fairly conservative and so it simply was a matter of explaining the situation about big tech lying and they were sold.
I've built it too. That's not the point. It's the yak shaving of "I just want to compile this thing here" that turns into "what options do I need for building Python", and "how do I then get these third party Python modules with a custom install script to install into the correct Python path. And what exactly should I set PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to".

Keep in mind that I have to do all this just to build some C++ binary because someone decided to not use autotools.

If you would live in a country where CP is accepted, rent a server or VPS there, get your domain there, get SSL there, and maybe accept only local payments, you'd be 'fine'. As in: nothing will stop you.

You can replace CP with 'copyrighted material', or 'political activity' etc. in above.

Turned around: the providers, and/or operators of a node (server, instance) are liable. Not the platform.

As it should be, IMO.
> Why did Twitter allow “Hang Mike Pence” to trend last night?

I happened to look at that trend. Nobody that I saw were actually suggesting people do it - they were quoting (or referring to) what was being said by those at the Capitol, and then commenting on it.

I don’t see a double standard for those cases, although they did subsequently remove it the trend. Possibly because some people might have been calling for it in the “latest” tab - not a fun place looking at tweets outside the featured tab...
There are plenty of us out here. etsy all the way.
probably because h264 en-/decoding is supported in hardware even on dated platforms
It is complicated. Trump was dogwhistling for years before anything was done.

We can all agree that "go and kill X" should be stopped, but it's not clear where the line goes. "X is a bad person" could be incitement too, depending on context.
Yes in hindsight wish I got a patent in sooner. Lesson learned! Also very cool product your thought of.

I wonder what fraction of the crackpots and conspiracy theorists on twitter would have had the wherewithall to start their own newspapers, though. The barrier to mass communication is so much lower than it was in the 18th century.
I would have expected it to be destroyed by vandals, marketeers and trolls, and that nutcases and people with alternative facts would have crowded out actually knowledgeable people.

For every person with a deep insight in a subject, there are fifty people who think they have a deep insight, and it is hard to tell the difference from the outside.

My concern was not that nobody would contribute, but that the wrong people would contribute.

Also "neutral point of view" is impossible, as any writer knows.

It is surprising and amazing the Wikipedia works so well. Although I'm sure they use a lot of resources on combating trolls and manipulation.
The problem with this argument is that plenty of white communities in the US have suffered from deep generational poverty and exploitation too. Take a drive though an old Kentucky mining town or poor white communities in Alabama and Georgia. Ask these people if they’re larping and why they support Trump. Dismissing them as “Grievance larpers” is utterly counterproductive.
Please do correct me if I am reading this differently from how you read it. To me, this looks like someone saying "we're going to go protest", which people have said many thousands of times in the last year. It does not advocate for violence or anything illegal there. The last bit where he says "you’ll never take back our country with weakness", seems to be misinterpreted by some - what Trump was saying is that the legislators who weren't challenging the results were being weak, and that to win [the election] you have to show strength.

All of this reads to me like very typical motivational bluster that accompanies situations like protests. BLM organizers also use phrasings like "we're going to take back our city" and "show them our power" and so on.
I believe only a minority of Trump voters are likely to frequent Parler or td.w

AWS isn’t anywhere close to a monopoly and has one of the most lax AUPs in the game. These services can also self-host like the olden days.

As for Apple, yes. They do have a monopoly over their app platforms. Either a more robust PWA support framework or side loading needs to be a priority on iOS. I wouldn’t consider Google as having a monopoly over app distribution as you can sideload apps on Android and Android has (from what I’ve heard) well-rounded PWA support.
This is more like adding fuel to the fire than fighting it. As a European I dont see how this will help.
Maybe not for twitter but for other social networks more Facebook-like.

Anti-intellectualism in American Life – Richard Hofstader -internet archive scan [pdf]
This looks extremely low, you should be able at least twice of that as a junior without much experience.
Today the infrastructure for serving information over the internet is privately owned, and liberals say that it’s ok for private companies to censor people on their platforms, and they are right. Tomorrow, the internet will be a public utility, the infrastructure will be publicly owned and conveying information over the internet will be universally appreciated as the way that communication between people is done — to be cut off from it would be like having your tongue cut out. The only difference between today and tomorrow is a few strokes of legislative pens — nothing, basically. The argument that this is ok because it’s private companies is a cop out.

Immigration activist here.

Nothing in the H1B world is as it appears from outside. There are far deeper problems. Trump admin in particular (in my personal opinion) is driven by a great hatred for Indian and Chinese h1b holders and has been a bit like bull in china shop targeting both groups with various ridiculous and often completely illegal methods.

Lottery assignment is based on first come first serve as per the law. I expect this change to be challenged and eventually thrown out by courts. Of course administration does have a case here as they can argue first come first serve is intended only when h1b cap is not met and once it is met, the agency must get deference to use whatever algorithm they chose to use.

This sort by salary would sound like a good reform to many. It is not. The so called body shops will run circles around the incompetent people at USCIS who ignore all laws of economics and come up with heavy handed regulations which only further help the scammers and hurt the honest.

Nothing prevents My Bodyshop Inc. from filing a petition with unreasonably high salary. Once the h1b petition is approved the employee then quickly changes jobs to My Brother's Bodyshop Inc. this time with a reasonable salary. There is nothing USCIS can do here but to approve the petition if the paperwork is in order. Trump administration out of sheer caprice decided to deny job change petitions thus putting thousands and perfectly genuine job changers into jeopardy (not to mention the law does not given them any such authority).

If the Evil Bodyshop Inc wants to take bigger risks they do the following. They offer a pretty big salary to the employee to even beat Google and Facebook. But when the employee joins the employee is required to pay back the additional portion of the salary to some one else like a fake university running fake educational courses.

The Extra Evil Bodyshop Inc promises they will pay a fat salary but simply does not pay that amount. Since most H1B holders from India will never get their greencards they do not have to worry about the future scrutiny during greencard process. They basically happy to continue on the low salary. After they have made decent money they might even catch a flight back to India. They have made their money.

There is only one sensible H1B regulation. Permanently end the program. Let American companies move the job to Canada to India or some other place which is more willing to take in immigrants. That we "these people are taking our jobs" argument will vanish from public discourse. If there are no jobs in the country in first place, there are no jobs to steal.

Just offer a EAD to greencard to all H1B holder within 2-3 years so they become free agents and do not have to be bound to their employer. This vastly reduces the paperwork for everyone and allows markets to promote higher wages.
Parler should be blocked wholesale, it is acting as an unmoderated radicalization engine for terrorists that attempted a coup. They are actively planning another attempt as we speak.

You are defending a group of people that has shown they are intolerant, violent, and unrepentant.

Nobody is saying they can't sit around and drink beers at home at talk about burning down the capitol, they are just saying you can't do it on their infrastructure.

This is no different than when everyone was banning ISIS a few years ago. These groups are self radicalized and have lost the right to protected speech.
