, so yes, I request permissions only when they're absolutely necessary and when it's obvious as to why the permission is needed.

The bigger problem, though, is that you can't trust bad actors to act good. DNT in browsers has showed that extremely clearly: it was meant as a marker for you to not be tracked, yet advertisers used it as an additional bit for fingerprinting. Policy might be a way, but it relies on humans looking at apps. It's always much more effective to have technical measures in place, if possible. As in, no mater how much you'd like, you can't track a user across the web if their browser doesn't accept third-party cookies. And many app developers are in no way better than web developers with their incentives, intentions and tactics, it's just that the web makes these issues more noticeable.
I think there will be some difficulty about that, since a lot of people in Australia already know that News Ltd owns a majority share in the Liberal party (the balance being owned by the coal industry). Therefore, a lot of people will see this as Google sharing their interests insofar as harming News helps them.

Also, liberalism has been sufficiently successful in Australia that the argument "new business should not be compelled to serve interests of old business" will have some currency.

Whether these two sectors will be enough to win an election fought on this argument (widely expected in the second half of this year) remains to be seen.

I played the game, and after a while I was miserable playing it, but I just couldn't convince myself to just put it aside and not finish it. Once I launched a single rocket, thus "completing" the game, I closed it, uninstalled it, wrote a negative review on Steam, and never have had any desire to play it again.

It may seem inflammatory, but my honest opinion on what the difference is between me and people who genuinely liked the game is this: those people are complexity fetishists.

You don’t need to understand why. You follow the tutorial and go on with your life. You’ll understand why PATH matters when you’ll need to. And before you reply with: then why not abstracting this stuff? That’s because most technical people don’t mind, and they know that defaults don’t always apply.

"instantly skippable" depends on device I think. For a long time, there was no "Skip" button in the Roku app, you could only manually forward through it. It has now been added, but very possible there are apps on other devices still missing that feature
Highly misleading. Winterkorn has been accused of two crimes (market manipulation and fraud). In Germany if you are guilty of several crimes the sentences do not simply get added on top of each other, instead there is a "Gesamtstrafe" (One punishment for all crimes committed). That's why they discontinued the case on these charges because they are far less important than the fraud charges and won't change the outcome in a significant way.

One aspect I notice in tech and programming circles is that there is often a certain amount of people actively discouraging low level projects, even if they are created out of the desire to learn.

Well, if I understand the OP correctly, it sounds like tethers are basically being printed and sold cheap in return for real money, so lots of people think they have a profit because they have more tethers than the dollars they started with. So if you can get in to that situation and then quickly sell the tethers before the whole thing collapses then you should be in the money.

OTOH if that isn't possible then the allegation that this whole thing is a pyramid scheme fails.
> if the code goes ahead, it will stop Australians posting news in their News Feed

Everything is fine, citizens, nothing to see here! Can we direct the usual "censorship" outrage onto censoring all the news?

Unfortunately this is a fight between two or more parties both of which have dirt on their hands. The "news" in question in Australia is mostly Murdoch propaganda. It's not great for FB/Google to profit off embedding other people's intellectual property but "information wants to be free" and we don't want precedents set for how and whether you can link to websites.

Edit: I agree with https://www.crikey.com.au/2020/08/28/google-facebook-accc-ch... "For the avoidance of doubt, it couldn’t happen to two nicer companies. There are sound policy reasons to loathe Google and Facebook — for their relentless accumulation and abuse of personal data, for their anti-competitive acquisitions of smaller rivals, for their tax dodging, for their complicity in the spread of highly damaging, often literally lethal misinformation and propaganda.

But their alleged theft of news content isn’t one."

> The court said it had decided to discontinue the proceedings as the expected sentence in another case, in which Winterkorn faces charges for his role in allowing diesel cars with excessive pollution levels to hit the road, was higher.

> “In this context, the conviction for market manipulation would not lead to a significant increase in the overall sentence,” the court said in a statement.

I understand that all things are limited, court time, lawyers, attention, etc... But really, if he did the crime, why should he get off on that count?

That solely depends on your use case. There are three reasons to use command line and none of them has anything to do with being easier:

1. It's faster. You can(and will after some time) remember hundreds of different commands. That means that to make computer do something, you just need to type. Typing is usually way faster than clicking in GUI, especially for non-trivial tasks, which require moving through several layers of GUI.

2. It's scriptable. I can automate pretty much anything invokable from command line through.

3. It's gluable. I can connect output of the program to any workflow I imagine.

All of those are usually strictly worse in GUI. Of course, GUI has it's uses(analysing data is usually easier in graphical environment) and there is nothing wrong with your personal preference. I object solely to your qualification of CLI being worse just because of your own taste.

The ad monetization problem is not solvable, or rather, it's already solved by something like the Brave browser. The internet needs its own money. Anybody remember coin-operated game arcades? You just put a coin in it and you get entertainment. No having to input your card credentials, no leaks, no banks taking a cut, no recurring scams, no 3 letter agencies watching your every move etc. It's not a technology issue, but a regulatory one. If ppl want to solve this, governmnets need to allow people and businesses to send/receive a small amount of money per month completely anonymously.

To install Ruby, it helps to have a good guide (but, yes, sometimes they are difficult to find):

The mistake the author made is saying the advice given in speaker manuals is wrong.

Well, it is not necessarily wrong to omit a lot of complexity when explaining something to someone who is new (ie. speaker buyer who had to look at the leaflet). Even if the advice is not strictly correct, it is not wrong.

We do this constantly, especially with children. We feed them with not strictly correct information because the alternatives are to not give them any, to give too much or to give information that is not useful.

You would not tell your kids their uncle committed suicide by blowing his head off because he was unsatisfied with his miserable life because he made a bunch of lousy choices and because of this aunt left him for a younger guy which caused severe depression. That is way too much information for a child to handle.

People who know better will know why the advice is structured this way and will know to ignore it.

There is also incentive for producers to give information like that, because it is easier to require you to put your speakers far from any wall than to delve into particulars of your speaker placement. "We guarantee our product offers excellent quality if you put it far from walls, but should you decide to ignore that advice you are on your own"
Because it is a case of corruption that is quite irrelevant at the Spanish level, much less at the European level and totally irrelevant at the global level. Villarejo is an ex-policeman who is blackmailing public figures to avoid a long prison sentence for corruption and bribe.

I really enjoy pcloud. It's simple, fast (I'm looking at your shitty galleries, OneDrive) and has a snappy mobile and linux app.
One other thing is the big (non knob) button brings up three apps and somehow I have it so now playing is always one of them. Can’t remember how I set that up though. (Doesn’t help when someone keeps texting me and I want to stop the audio.)
Perhaps it isn't failed, but it is pretty corrupt, and it is not in good condition. I wouldn't call it "such a ridiculous claim", just good, old exaggeration.
Exactly, seriously why is everyone in Spain like this? Spain is a wonderful and advanced country in most ways. Although I think having an inferiority complex is probably good for the country because it's the only way to improve.
An analytics platform for active retail traders.

A lot of folks have several trading accounts which provide varying degrees of analytics. I’ve found that consolidating the transaction history across these accounts to build a deep level of analytics manually is time consuming.

Perhaps you're right. In fact I was going to write about connectors of 3 kinds: GPIO, dedicated fan connectors and Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C but then I came to the conclusion you can also put a GPIO controller or a fan on Thunderbolt the Occam's razor suggests we should only leave Thunderbolt - because we can.

Don't websites usually create an association between a local user (in their DB) and an oauth2 account, linked by the email address? And then all your data is linked to the local DB user. I guess it's a bigger threat if you don't use your own domain for email.

EDIT: I'm talking about sites that also have their own local user db of course, so you could just do a password reset.
Personally I think both parties should be dissolved, and new parties should be created. With real grassroot expression and representation (up to the minute), not decades or centuries of fossilized party lines.

And this should begin by absolutely banning any kind of donation above, say, a small dollar amount per person (with very strict criminal penalties for bypassing this in any way). Want to get funding as a party? Find more persons to fund you -- as opposed to non-representative parties being pushed forward by large donors.

Then again, it's your parties, do as you wish with them. But no real political discussion is ever gonna come out of those...
