But how far can this principle be applied? I admit this is complete hyperbole, but what if your local grocery stores forbade you from buying food there because they didn't want people associating them with you? I think there's a grey area to explore here where that principle becomes unsustainable, and even though this banning was done for noble purposes it still isn't a norm I'd want to curse future generations with.

That's not in their favor, though. The point of moving open-source off of LTS is to move open source onto the bleeding edge to provide testing, not to just withhold 6.2 entirely.

> Starting with Qt 5.15, long term support (LTS) will only be available to commercial customers. This means open-source users will receive patch-level releases of 5.15 until the next minor release will become available. This means that we will handle Qt 5.15 in the same way as e.g. 5.13 or 5.14 for open source users.

This looks really cool and one of the first things that could pull me from Drafts but it requires 11.0 (Big Sur) and I don't usually update until the 3-6mo mark. A clean, native ideally, desktop and mobile app are a lot harder to come by for notes apps than I would have ever expected (or at least the ones that interest me).

The first donation to my open source project (1) came from someone who went through the trouble of emailing me to ask how they could donate.

Since then, I've embraced receiving donations and last year I ended up receiving more than 10.000 euro. (2)

I (re)donate everything to charity, for reasons (3), but even then it's a great motivator. If it wasn't for the money I would have burned out long ago. It really means a lot when people show their support in such a tangible way.

I recommend everyone to both accept donations, and donate to others.

But it's never enough proof, the goal posts never stop moving. We can't keep playing the game forever, or we'd be paralyzed as a society.

For example, there were two months of audits, recounts, and countless court cases. The skeptics wanted an additional "ten day audit" on top of this, which would have consequences for the transition. After that audit, how do we know they'd have been satisfied? Nothing in the past has demonstrated their ability to be satisfied.
“US was a great role model this year. We aspire to feed our citizens a steady stream of disinformation so they are ready to storm the government and overturn the election if it doesn’t go our way”

Everyone keeps making these same points in every thread, and no minds are changed.
We get to vote for who represents us in government, do we get to vote for which laws Twitter , Google, FB choose to enforce? Can we vote with our wallets out of this one? Why does it feel like advertisers crowned themselves arbiters of truth and a lot are ok with it because they currently don't like the same bad things.

Govts are of the people for the people, corporations are for making profit over anything, do we hate people (ourselves) this much?
I don't think it's inconsistent to simultaneously believe:

* In general, tech companies should be less powerful and monopolistic.

* In this specific case, the tech companies used the power they have in a way that is overall beneficial to society.

Trump incited a violent insurrection on the US Capitol. If Senators and Representatives had not successfully escaped through tunnels before the rioters got to them, some of them would be dead. The fact that Trump is still in office after that shows that the US absolutely does not have a functioning legislative branch to check Trump's executive power.

In the absence of that, we need some entity powerful enough to push back against rising fascism and authoritarianism. I don't like that that power apparently has to be a handful of tech giant companies, but I'll take that (temporarily at least) over the US becoming a right-wing dictatorship.
There have been audits of the voting system. They didn't believe them, and they were reported falsely in the media they follow.

It's a cult. It's like trying to convince them that aliens don't exist.

Maybe we live in different worlds but the average (non-cs)professor would very much struggle with this stuff. I've seen some barely being able to use basic programs, they are skilled in very different domains and no one will bat an eyelid if they slowly click on the mouse to copy/paste every day of the week. Rocking the command line is certainly not in their job description for the most part.

Even comp-sci academics do work that is horrendously bad and not even close to what would pass in the workplace for an entry level graduate.

I can confirm that.. In 2010 I was looking for jobs in Vancouver after working for a US company there for the US-level salary, and the salaries in local companies were sorta ridiculous. I moved to the USA.

Btw, it was also really difficult to find a primary care doctor in Vancouver at the time, when I finally found one taking patients after a while, he (an older guy who I assume just like living where he grew up) told me that the reason is that all the doctors move to the USA if they can.
then your father might be that segment i'm talking about, and i'm sorry that he was let down after working so faithfully for those years.

i know fb isn't representative of a person's total views, but like the majority of my circle that leans conservative (i grew up smaller city, church goer blah blah, moved to coasts) just share the same stuff over and over. evil democrats doing xyz and we'll have socialism/communism, attack on "christian" ideals, all wrapped up in some religious/nationalistic garb.

some might be economically struggling but it doesn't come out that way, or at least that doesn't appear to be their main thought. i feel perhaps in 2016 people did vote that way to have Trump shake things up, but after 4 years of seeing how he is... that they would do it again, actually, even MORE people would? not sure how to reconcile that.

It's like a newspaper, with editors deciding which letters to the editor to publish or not. Tech companies are really media companies, it's just that we don't consume dead trees anymore.
Except they did nothing of the sort.

They just decided to tax all alcoholic beers as alcohol, and thus the same as wine.
Before that beers with very low alcohol content were treated as non-alcoholic beverages, which enjoy a lower VAT rate.

Makes no difference to Belgian beers, and France does produce quite a bit of beer as well (same or more than Belgium).
I'm not really sure how to respond. This is a long, passionate argument against things I didn't say and an attitude I don't have. I think unions are a great way for employees to organize against mistreatment; that's exactly why it frustrates me to see the Alphabet Workers Union appropriate the history of union activism to serve partisan goals which have nothing to do with the great things unions have achieved in the past.
The latter is an obvious lie.

In any case good to see that we'll be able to keep the joke alive.

10 Democrat congresspeople objected to the electoral count in 2016, including Sheila Jackson-Lee challenged the electoral count in 2016. That they didn’t get a Senator to also challenge doesn’t change their own opposition to the election. Is Shiela Jackson-Lee deplatformed? Or course not. She’s a member of the congressional black caucus. She, an violence-promoting Maxine Waters get a pass from the hand-wringing of the tech and leftist “elites.”

People on the left are gigantic hypocrites. And liars. Conveniently ascribing to Trump what they have been doing since before November 2016. There are hundreds of not thousands of examples of outright hypocrisy.

Another example: violence committed against Senator Rand Paul was cheered by Twitter users. Accounts weren’t purged, nor users banned en mass. The assassination attempt of Congressman Scalise — no punishment of Bernie Sanders’ campaign for inspiring hatred of Republicans that led to a self proclaimed “Bernie Bro” from firing over 50 shots in an attempt to kill Republicans.

Where is the “community standards” enforcement around people on Twitter that celebrate this actual violence against elected officials?

Hypocrites and phonies. That’s what the tech “elites” and leftist are.
If you have something else other than text that you want to be the focus of the page like a photo, reducing the contrast on the text allows the photos "pop" more if it using the range of light and dark.

My personal color schemes are all dark background and light grey text. So even in my world of IDEs, consoles, gvim, sublime and emacs where text is king, I prefer having less than 100% contrast between background/text. I am not using any kind of custom color scheme so at least 1 other person prefers this as well!

Eltechs' ExaGear at the time only provided x86_32 compatibility on top of 32-bit Arm.

This is a major departure from that, my best guess would be that Huawei purchased the company and then poured lots of resources to it.

This article (really it's more of a press release from the interested parties) seems to confuse the role of DNS from the role of certificate authority, making it hard for me to understand what they're talking about.

These days sometimes the same entities provide both SSL certificates and DNS, but they are different services.

> Handshake is “is effectively a decentralized domain name server,” Roquerre said. Instead of using the web-standard certificate authority to authenticate user connections to a server, Handshake stores references to the IP address of the websites registered in its system. Namebase is a platform that offers users access to the Handshake network

That makes no sense at all. But it sounds like handshake is simply an alternate DNS protocol? Or does it also serve as a certificate authority somehow? Is it actually more decentralized than DNS (which is already of course decentralized in one axis, but not the relevant one for keeping a lookup available if the entity hosting DNS decides to remove it).

Very confusing.

It seems like tor .onion address would be an actually mature solution to this problem, instead of this thing that seems like press release babble?

Flagging this for an editorialized title, which is against the HN Guidelines for posts like this where a change in title is not required.

The tweet says that Signal group calling limit has been raised from 5 to 8 and it continues to say (pun intended) that now you can call it even. I think it’s good to have a limit of 8 as opposed to 5, but it’d be better to bump this to double it further to cover almost everyone’s needs, though that’d require a lot more effort.

But Signal, as observed over the years, could do better by focusing on many other features that users and potential switchers consider critical.
The petty legalism is just a technique for people to stop thinking about their flagrant hypocrisy. As if the people screaming "they're a private business, they can do what they want" have ever entertained that as a serious argument for any other issue.

I had always assumed they did this for case reasons. A smaller phone means room the case could occupy. Fairly logical imo, though it feels like crap if you don't have a case.

As it is my iPhone 10, a fairly small phone (not a large model, i forget which) feels huge with a case. Cases make it weird.

Both spellings of that word are acceptable. Get off of your high horse, especially if you can't even ride it yourself.

Your depictions of the very disturbed, impoverished and desperate people involved in the DC/Capitol building fiasco are heartless, cruel, and completely uncivilized. You clearly have no idea what is going on in their lives, just as so many of them were unaware of what the BLM marches were all about.
That's naive nonsense.

Epstein was in the process of being prosecuted when he died. The state has no credible mechanism to continue prosecution (along with a vigorous defense) once he's dead. There was no way to do what you wanted.

Voting systems were audited, and all that happened was that Q people made up bullshit and moved the goalposts. None of the conspiratorial-minded right-wingers looked at the 60 lawsuits or the many recounts and took them as evidence that their cause was incorrect. They took it as proof that the truth was just even more oppressed.

Facts don't work against bullshit. This is an important lesson that people like you need to learn. Wake the fuck up, you dumb son of a bitch.

Please define disinformation, and who gets the right to decide what's correct? And what if they are wrong? I still remember when experts/ CDC / WHO claimed wearing a face mask is useless.

Bubbles are odd, and you forget they are even there. It sometimes only becomes evident went you stray into an unfamiliar one.

Personally I like some cross-pollination. It can take me by surprise when I'm subjecting to the vagaries of the public.

People tend to protectively double down, and get very defensive, even over very benign topics. Some thrive on that friction, some just would rather leave it alone and drift towards those with similarish outlooks.

People also have a tendency to believe what they want to believe.

I got a load of stick off a friend, because he thought I held a particular political persuasion. Just because I mildly challenged him. Well I'm not even sure as to why he thought the way he did. He just put me in another box/bubble that wasn't his, and lashed out at me. Quite ugly behaviour in my mind. As soon as he realised we were on the same page on the topic, he vaguely apologised for his outburst. To me however, I was left thinking, well what if I hadn't seen eye to eye. Nice guy in the main. Just like racist Grandma.

Anyway I think what I'm trying to say is that I expect differences of opinion. And can accept them (outwardly at least, up and to a point, maybe..). I like a bit of healthy discourse. But the subtleties and lost contexts can be horrible pain points of misunderstanding. Some just can't stand a difference of opinion.
