I think this is the biggest takeaway for me:

> We saw this dynamic metastasize in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, when well-intentioned claims of “silence is violence” (recalling the powerful 1987 ACT-UP “Silence = Death” campaign) spiraled into calling out individuals with even a small following who hadn’t come forward with a timely public statement of solidarity or remorse. Yet public posts were subject to popular scrutiny and judged based on sincerity, originality, and tone. Not surprisingly, many people defaulted to posting a somber plain black square. But this generated criticism of its own by clogging the feed with an informational blackout during a moment when community resource sharing was critically important. Amid a chaotic time, the platform functioned exactly as designed: amplification of emotions, uptick in user interaction, growth in platform engagement and data cultivation. Cha-ching, the platform cashes in.

In other words, any large movement or discussion on "clearnet" spaces gets subverted by the algorithms and profit motive of the platform they live on.

However, where I disagree with the author is considering mainstream "dark forest" platforms like reddit or 4chan to be countercultural. In fact, I'd argue that mainstream social media can never be countercultural. While there may be no "algorithm" controlling the narrative you see on 4chan (or a straightforward and ostensibly fair one on a site like reddit), the content you see (and by extension, the narrative) is shaped by profit motive: From well-compensated marketing teams, to hordes of self-interested proselytizers (see: bitcoin), to propaganda teams looking to influence public opinion, mainstream dark forest sites simply shift the balance of power from the platform itself to the most motivated and well-funded members of the platform
I don't know about engagement on mainstream sites declining, but the rising popularity of sites like Parler and Gab seems undeniable. Parler's recent (attempted) deplatforming is evidence enough: you don't bother with a tiny fringe site that isn't growing or wielding any influence.
ArgoCD is a delight.
There’s nothing written in GDPR that would prevent a small business from surviving and being productive. It’s also important to understand that the law enforcement is business friendly in general: if you don’t do stupid thing intentionally, but occasionally make a mistake, no one will punish you.
Go to the link in the title, scroll down the bottom of the page and the Privacy link is right there, like it is on most website footers. The client is Go open source on github, the security is discussed on the Smart Contracts/Ethereum page and all of that network stuff. That's 3 out of 4 questions, the last one is an opinion.
It's all a matter of use cases, sounds like you need a desktop. As for me, I have a ninth GEN Intel laptop that weighs less than 6 pounds connected to a docking station that easily let me use my audio interface, all my peripherals, external hard drive's and dual monitor set up.

I often have to take the laptop with me to do work in other locations which completely rules out how cumbersome it would be to do this with a desktop. It takes me less than five minutes to pop it off the dock and throw it in my backpack.

Not to mention how much of a pain in the ass it would be if I had both a desktop and a laptop, constantly having to synchronize the data between the two, and having to have multiple installations of the same software which may be difficult depending on EULA/licensing.

Performance is in the eye of the beholder. The system I have performs more than adequately for all the tasks that I require, I rarely have to wait on compiles for any significant amount of time, video renderings can take a while but that just gives me an opportunity to stretch my legs and take a break from the computer.
What if they go ahead an launch it, but accidently miscalculate the orbit so it encounters a premature re-entry?
Plus their How It Works page is pretty informative.

And I've only ever heard of Security Policies used in an organization/company context to ensure employees have good security hygiene.

The genocide started in 2017. The Junta sized power in 2021.
You're absolutely correct.

Consider: your HR department is left leaning, your boss is probably left leaning, your teachers are left leaning, the government is left leaning.

How on earth could the "counter culture" be the hegemonic culture of the most powerful billionaires on earth, and the people who have the most power over the most people in their daily lives (HR departments for adults, school administrators for children)?

The people who you instinctively dislike, and who society counts as something that needs to be corrected are by definition the counter culture.

That doesn't necessarily need to be seen as a bad thing, btw. It just means that the hippies basically won and have all of the power now.

This is one of the sort-of-frustrating as-a-user things about Wayland to me, that every compositor (nee window manager) has to implement capabilities like this for themselves, where-as in X, there was common tooling. And they'll all have different userland tools to use these capabilities.

here[1] for example is wlroots/sway implementing headless.

That said, the implementations are great, & really show how much Linux has progressed. For a while it wasn't possible (for some reason I wasn't having good luck with either mdi or dp dummy plugs on my type-c only laptop), but I'm really looking forward to using one laptop as a virtual desktop for another desktop, & this work is core to that effort. I like a lot that Gnome was super smart & made outputting a virtual monitor as a PipeWire stream built in!! Smart easy win to make screen capturing even easier.

Edit: at my posting rate-limit, so tacking this on, especially to @spivak,

I like the diversity a lot, yes. But I still would like to see a situation other than gnome having it's own tooling to configure virtual monitors, wlroots having it's own, kde having it's own.

Is this just an insufficienct protocolization problem right now? Are there wayland protocols to do things like change a monitor's resolution? Or to change the mouse speed? I think of Wayland protocols as more between a running app and the compositor, which has all been nicely modularized & protocolized. But I don't understand what if any effort has been made to find a common ground to expose user tooling. It feels like they all have their own suite of command line utilities. Swaymsg in sway, for example. Whatever this virtual monitor tool gnome has. How do we begin to modularize these control interfaces?

One or two election cycles, but afterwards it will be too boring to hear the same excuses.

Soon after dissolution of Czechoslovakia, people in Slovakia blamed Czechs for all kinds of things. (We had an agreement that neither side will use the old federal flag; they kept it. We had an agreement that the national treasure will be split proportionally; they decided to keep it all. Plus a few more things. I am sure the other side also had their complaints.) A decade later, after most politicians from that era retired, no one mentioned this anymore. People who were not yet adult during the federation simply don't care; it's ancient history for them, like complaining that your garden does not have nice flowers because dinosaurs once stomped on it. Yeah, but what did you do about it since then; you had enough time to do something, right?

I feel like an old person just for mentioning the old issues. Similarly, ten or twenty years later, Farage will be just some uncool old grandpa no one cares about. It may be hard to imagine, but it will happen.
>reported farms using illegal labor.

I'm from Mexico, but I've always suspected the reason the US Democratic Party supports immigration is precisely because a lot of big corporations want to drive down the price of labor. They piggyback on antiracist and antinationalist activism to advance the interests of big agriculture.

If I was a big agro, I'd invest in both parties. The Republicans to remove regulation that helps big agro compete, and the Democrats to implement regulation that prevents small agro from competing.

Although tbh this is all I know of American politics from reading internet threads, haha
This is a fantastic idea! Bookmarked. Is there a GitHub repo of this? I would be more than happy to contribute some PRs.

My Uncle started with a "family" farm in up state new york, maybe milking 80-100. Over the years as my Cousins took over, it turned into a commercial farm where they milk over 1000. The scale is pretty massive: from the barns that go on forever, to the giant pools of manure, the horizontal bunkers that store the sileage. They adapted I suppose - and because its a 3+ family farm with plenty of workers they can get time off from the grind. My Uncle, however, for years was the sole owner and worked his ass off 7 days a week. Its taken him a very long time in his retirement to be able to enjoy his time.

It is complicated. Long decades Myanmar was a military dictatorship. A few years back the dictatorship allowed democratic elections under the condition that it will conserve key positions in the government and there was this brief period when the country was semi-democratic. The military part of the government initiated the genocide, but the democratic part was accused for not opposing in any visible way.

After the last elections, the military were supposed to loose some more of their positions and hence the coup.
> why Summers is still remembered as an egregiously noteworthy case of incipient cancel culture.

Come on, man. If you’re the president of an organization and you get yourself into a situation where the majority of your women employees think you’re a reactionary bigoted jerk, then it doesn’t really matter if you actually deserved it or if you merely made a PR mistake. It doesn’t even matter if it’s due to an unfair media feeding frenzy! You are the president and you badly failed in your mission to lead that organization.

Summers absolutely deserved to lose his job as president (which was a voluntary resignation). Even if you give him the greatest possible benefit of the doubt, his actions were profoundly irresponsible leadership. And he didn’t lose tenure, he just lost a cushy side gig. Other university/corporate presidents have lost their job for far less.
Citizens may be concerned, but UK government officials should be more concerned. This means one party has visibility into opposing party social activity. It is likely contractors that manage this data. Just let that soak in for a bit.
I'm honestly contemplating replacing my chair with one that has no wheels. Glides, maybe. But once it's in position, I don't want it to move too easily.

Yeah, I know that what I'm doing is equivalent to putting the charging port on the bottom of the Apple mouse. I don't care :)
I agree there's always been an Overton Window, but I think you're leaving out important context. When conservatives controlled culture, championing free expression was a way to expand the Overton Window to make it okay to say liberal things. To older liberals like Pinker, the change in tack comes across as hypocritical. (Of course, it's not actually hypocritical, insofar as we're talking about different individuals.)
This looks great! A few questions, that I normally would email to you, but figured they could be helpful to others here:

1. What are the capabilities for the presentations? Can you present video, screen share (code), etc? What about showing the video of the presenter?

2. Can you choose the layout of the exhibition hall if you only have i.e. 6 sponsors, so it doesn't look too empty?

3. Is audio spatial, so you don't hear people that are further away? I would hope so, otherwise with hundreds of people it would become out of hand quickly :-)

4. I appreciate that some "enterprise" pricing might be "contact us," but can you share a rough ballpark of what the pricing looks like for smaller events?

5. Is there a plan to lower the system requirements and/or add a streaming option? 2GB of graphics memory may be excluding a lot of people. Fine for a gamer's expo, but tough for people using business laptops.

6. How are Q&As done for presentations?

Thanks, and looking forward to checking out the demo.
Don't think there's a technical reason. I'd previously seen this site linked from here that does it slightly more traditionally:

> That is exactly what the Soviet Union did for the first 30 years of its existence.

While I unfortunately can't time travel back and visit Russia to make a direct comparison, from everything I read and heard about the efforts in Russia, it was primarily tuned to enable brilliant people to do research with unlimited resources, preferably in directions that would yield military benefits. Improving general broad education was more or less a side-effect of this. The initial communist Marxist movement was deteriorated by corruption and the conflict with the US much quicker than that in China.

Again, I wasn't able to witness the overall sentiment in Russia back in those times, but it seems to be that China is doing much better in this regard and their people truly and strongly believe in their country. Frankly it is amazing that China is still going strong with its dictatorship and didn't end up at Russia levels yet.

> 20 years ago, China was barely on the radar of anyone in the media.

Definitely not mainstream media; I have a relative who's a high-up at Volkswagen who I learned a lot from about China starting in the late 90s, and then I had my first business trip to China in 2009. So I've probably been following them closer for longer than the average Joe. I specifically thought of people like Gordon Chang when I wrote that comment, who has predicted China's downfall multiple times already over the past two decades in books, TV interviews etc.

I mean sure, maybe these predictions eventually become true and the problem solves itself from our POV, but I see it as equally likely that China has built a sophisticated surveillance state until then to reliably shut down any internal unrest in time, so they "just" need to deal with the rest of the world, which brings us back the the article... :-)

Well, aren’t you making an assumption that my comments where I have been admonished were deserving and not similar in vein to the ones in this thread.
I agree that you have to be essentially anonymous to take part in counterculture these days. But the author claims that Discord and Reddit are examples of counterculture. I wholeheartedly disagree, these platforms are overly sanitized, moderated by the company, not the community. On Discord, people get banned for empty mass reports, and they can delete servers as they please. Reddit is valuable for driving communities to self-hosted, private forums, where I believe that counterculture has and will be born from.
I suggest you look into the data behind soy production and usage: most of the soy that is produced in the world is fed to animals which people then eat (which is highly wasteful compared to directly eating the soy) and so if you care about the environment, eating soy products is much, much better than eating animal-based products.

Livestock farming is terrible for the environment and has a huge carbon footprint, partly due to the extreme amount of land it uses.

on the first page of your link: The Burmese government dismissed these as "exaggerations"

It doesn't look like the government cared too much about the well-being of the genocided population. This is a hallmark in most genocides in history. The government doesn't have to order a massacre, most of the times it's just doing nothing.

How politically correct does the left need to be? Especially after the "deplorables" gaffe, the left has bent over backwards to avoid appearing to be condescending towards rank and file right-wingers.

And it's ultimately hopeless. No matter how hard we try, someone on the left will scold. Oops.

I checked the article to reach that conclusion too, I was actually hoping it was more like space piracy where they captured the satellite and took it onboard. that would have been really fascinating!
There used to be a time when editorials were the insights of people who had spent decades in the news business. They could reasonably be thought to know more than the average person on the subject. A newspaper should offer facts, but it offers only the new facts, not the history needed to judge the facts. They just can't; there's too much. That's for textbooks.

Editorials were supposed to provide a leg up on that. They were journalists working in the field, who would often know even more information than appeared in textbooks. They would have spoken to all of the major players and knew not just what they'd said and done, but what their personalities were like.

It wasn't supposed to be a substitute for your own education and judgment. But it could provide a counterbalance to it. It puts perspective on what your own education and experience amount to. It provides a convenient checkpoint against Dunning-Krugerism.

Unfortunately, editorials no longer serve that function. Opinions aren't even a dime a dozen; they're a dollar per thousand impressions. Young journalists don't get the experience to become old journalists and then editors.

Which kinda leaves us stuck. Academic journals are great if you can read them, but they assume even more background than newspapers. They're the cutting edge of a field, written for others at the cutting edge of the field, and simply don't address anybody who isn't at least working towards a PhD.

They range from start-ups to national champions, but I won't disagree with you on the poor organization of most European companies point. Everyone one re-papered existing systems to some degree of compliance. Given nobody agrees on what full compliance is, they're all right in their own ways.

> Fun times

Is still fun! There is Tumbleweed, a full rolling distribution (all packages with its own update cadence, and OBS fully building the dependencies that are impacted). There is also MicroOS, a transactional OS (BtrFS subvolumes for rootfs are read-only, and the update happens in the snapshot that will be activated after the reboot, providing a self-healing system when an upgrade does not affect the running environment)

Also Leap, but this is indeed boring (15.3 will be based fully in SLE binaries)

What side of the counter culture position would you have been while MLK was pushing for reform? Would your line "its clear which way the cultural winds are blowing today" align with the prejudice side? I think so. Do you look back and see that movement as an evolution and betterment for all of mankind or do you see it as "winds were blowing the wrong way"? Change is hard and change requires you to acknowledge your line of thinking, beliefs, ethics, all of it may be out dated or no longer the form. Imagine how folks born at the turn of 1900's felt when MLK was popular.
I came by this analogy by Dan Carlin. He was talking about "Germania" but the same applies to Sweden. When Sweden was christianized around 1000 AD this was basically equivalent to "being connected to the internet". Suddenly the vast resources (intellectual and communicational) of the catholic church where available to the (now christian) elite, giving them a huge advantage.
I've never heard this criticism of GDPR before, and a couple of cursory Google searches didn't yield anything supporting what you're claiming. Do you have a source for that?
It's been very interesting to see counter culture swing to the (arguably far but that part is up for interpretation) right. Terrifying, but nonetheless interesting.
What you're describing is just analogous to the way college admissions works (with it well understood that at some price your moderately dumb offspring will be admitted, as long as they can still read).

Of course no ones life is on the line there, so that's the difference. People would almost certainly object to lower risk of dying being available for purchase, although it's already the case elsewhere.

Somewhere around 2001 I bought Suse 7.X. It came in a fold out with each fold carrying a CD. 6 folds for 6 CDs but the 7th fold was the DVD and it had all the 6 CDs of data plus more. That just about blew my teenage mind.
While I don't think the GP post is correct, counter-culture necessarily has bad manners, because manners are all about cultural norms.
Former college hockey goalie here (now a SWE).

Dryden is correct. Hockey goaltending has become incredibly technical and an essence of the game has been lost as goalies have gained mastery.

This is less about equipment being 'too big' and more about the technologic and strategic progression goalies have made. There aren't any equipment regulations that can unwind this progress.

While I played, I was vehemently opposed to changing the net-size. Now, as an outsider with no horse in the race, I think it's the right thing to do.

Every so often at practices, myself and my goaltending partner would agree to make 'highlight reel' saves for a drill or two. What this meant was abandoning our technique and adopt an athletic, intuitive style that resembled something of the past (kick saves, stacking the pads, catching the puck dramatically). We did this because it was fun; the shooters enjoyed it more too. Making the nets bigger would inject these elements back into the position.
