Gnome is just one part of the story - the gnome shell was always decent looking and had good themes.

But the apps and the ecosystem really is ugly, messy and inconsistent. For example if you look at the controls you got with GTK out of the box in GTK3 era (when I last tried to build something with it) I remember huge paddings, unintuitive UX (the GTK file picker is the worst I've used) and poor layout controls. Go check out an app like https://inkscape.org and compare it to something like Illustrator or Gnome to Photoshop. The messy jumbled stacks of options with huge icons and paddings instead of being condensed and easy to use - most of it stems from GTK controls being bad.

Now this is all with a huge disclaimer that I haven't used a Linux desktop in over 5 years at this point, maybe things got better but I doubt it - I still use Inkscape for example from time to time and Gimp on OSX and putting the non-native issues aside the apps look terrible on their own because of what I already said.
I tried to use it for years as my "personal" browser while Chrome was for work. It would regularly cause the system as a whole to be slow when video (Twitch/Netflix) was playing. Switched to Vivaldi for personal and everything works smoothly so far.

If you purchase a contributing membership from the Calyx Institute, they gift you a fully unlimited 4G/LTE mobile data plan: https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet/4g-lte-faq . The membership costs $500 the first year and $400 each additional year. It's a popular option in the nomad community.

These two apps in particular were invaluable: Wifi Map (lists nearby hotspots), and iOverlander (shows nearby camping, RV, and boondocking areas along with their amenities).

For me, I found that logistics made this style of living enjoyable or stressful. I needed to plan farther ahead to be able to be productive in a new setting, and I was better off settling into a new place for a few days and doing a big chunk of work in a nice new environment and then spending a couple of days after that traveling, rather than trying to work and travel in smaller, more evenly-spaced chunks. The days where I tried to travel any distance and also work any amount all kind of sucked.
Which was correct - given that democratic Burma was a crown jewel of Obama's Asian Pivot.
I used MacOS for years, out of your list the only feature I ever really used was "multiple desktops". I would group apps roughly by function (email and messaging was on one desktop, the code editor was on another). I definitely wasn't pushing the boundaries and never used more than three desktops.

In my opinion, your skepticism about the general appeal of these features seems reasonable. I would expect the average laptop owner uses these rarely if ever. People who spend a lot of time with their machine may use only one or two, I bet. Spotlight in particular seems to be eating Launchpad's lunch.
ssh keys are tied to a user/machine tuple. When I create a new user account or (re)build a machine I always generate new keys and never copy private keys anywhere.

If the machine is owned by me it will have a git repo with per-hostname branches that holds an authorized_keys file. It also has a script that symlinks dotfiles and merges authorized keys with .ssh/id_rsa.pub and the local authorized keys file.

Horrible events
> GPL and other "viral" licenses

“When others hurt me, I try to defend myself. But some tell me that this makes them sick. They tell me that I should permit people to rob me of my work. They tell me that I should never try to defend myself.

They tell me that I should stop using the GNU General Public License, a license that vaccinates me against hurt. Instead, I should adopt a license that permits other people to rob me with impunity. They want me to adopt a license that forbids me from fighting back. They want me to give up my right to benefit from a derivative of my own work, a right I possess under current copyright law.

Of course, the language is a little less feverish than this. Usually, I myself am not called “infectious”. Rather, the legal defense that I use is called “infectious”. The license I choose is called “viral”.

In every day language, words such as “infect” and “virus” describe disease. The rhetoric is metaphorical. A legal tool is not a disease organism; but it is popular to think of the law as an illness, so the metaphor has impact.

The people who want to rob me use language that says I make them sick when I stop them from robbing me. They do not want to draw attention to the so-called “disease” that makes them ill: my health and my rights, and the health and rights of other people. Instead, they choose metaphor to twist people's thinking. They do not want anyone to think that I am a good citizen for stopping crime. They want the metaphor to fool others into thinking that I am a disease agent.

The GNU General Public License protects me. The connotation of “virus” and “infect” is that my choice of defense gives an illness to those who want to rob me. I want freedom from their robbery; but they want the power to hurt me. They get sick when they cannot hurt me.

To use another health and illness-related metaphor, the GNU General Public License vaccinates me; it protects me from theft.

Note that the theft about which I am talking is entirely legal in some situations: if you license your work under a modified BSD license, or a similar license, then others may legally take your work, make fixes or improvements to it, and forbid you from using that code. I personally dislike this arrangement, but it exists.”

They've done pretty well with github. Actually I suspect Discord might be intended for integrating with github communities, which sounds like a really nice idea to me to be honest.
When you give access to TikTok for all of your photos, what exactly do they have the ability to do?...regardless if they are actively doing anything. Can the app selectively download any photo from that moment on in your library? This actually goes for many other apps.
That reminds me of some hardware teardowns (eg of the new consoles, latest graphics cards and such) where they show how the VRM's are scattered around to balance what they serve as equally as possible (to keep heat spread out?) while still being as close as possible to what they provide power to. Its quite interesting!
They also really know their stuff. I suppose that's an advantage of all less mainstream languages and tools, but D's community is particularly impressive.

Another way of putting it: in the C++ community, the average person on a forum is never going to have a seat on the C++ standards commitee. They'll never even get close. With a smaller community like with D, you can find forum threads where the forum regulars are discussing the future of the language, and the discussion really has weight on D's evolution.

I reread your comment and I think you are at least partially correct about how I framed things. If you read this, is there a more constructive way I could have raised this concern?

I do not believe the comments in this thread constitute a low quality discussion. The story should not have been flagged, in my opinion at least, and this action has stopped some of the only balanced discussion of the topic I’ve seen online since the story first broke. It has people from both sides being mostly polite and has links to some high quality material. It’s just a topic that many people are upset by. Also, after getting flagged, they git repo saw the rate of new PR signings almost flatline
The argument is that AI and compression are isomorphic, so in that view there is no such thing as non-AI compression techniques. And in fact if you look at how common compressors work, they build a good model of the next token, given the previous tokens, exactly the same as language models in AI.

What makes you say that? I haven't followed StarLink very closely but it seems to me that in order to be competitive and maximize profits it would be extremely beneficial for them to have regional pricing policies.
I am not sure how any of these justifies talking only about race and ignoring economic conditions. Sure, race can’t be swept under the rug, and I didn’t said it should be. It is overemphasized at expense of other issues.

It is especially weird when you look at the history of the concept “gentrification”, even the word comes from “gentry”, which basically means upper class, and it exists also in monoethnic cities. The basis of the issue doesn’t lie in the race.
When I said that psychology was ground zero, I did not intend to imply that there wasn't a significant blast radius.

That said, the blast radius is significantly less than you're describing. Most research in the hard sciences was not impacted at all. But that is in large part because they absorbed lessons about the difficulty and importance of replication many decades ago. And some of the lessons that they absorbed are being passed along in Feynman's speech.

MacOS’s fundamental look has a pretty consistent chain all the way back to NextOS in the 90s. The Dock, the dot indicator, and many other core pieces are visible in versions of MacOS which predate the launch of webOS. MacOS borrows some bits from webOS as well, but the fundamental Dock layout is right out of NextStep.

The Biggest Little Farm[1] is a good documentary on this sort of topic. They started an organic farm and hit a similar pain point when coyotes started eating their chickens. They also had a problem with gophers eating their crops. I don't remember exactly but they were fighting the gophers with something, but it wasn't working that well. The solution was to let the gophers go wild, and the coyotes would take care of them instead of their chickens. They balanced each other out.

Now I don't know how this works with bald eagles, but there might be a similar solution for this.

It's not noise - the censors drop specific comms over time when there's focus.

When the Pooh meme was happening if you tried sending it the receiver would never get it.

Now that it has died down it's no longer a focus (though I'm still unsure if that image would be received). The same thing happens around certain events (Tiananmen Square Anniversary) where they get more extreme about the censorship.

The fact that they applied the censors to the Pooh meme shows that they'll do it for even the mildest 'threat'.
When Would Mac OS X Ship?
I am aware of it, it was a bad joke I guess. I wanted to say censorship (done by this site's users) was a thing. I would expect them doing the same if they were admins on reddit. I am doubting that this is a moderation tool going haywire

There was a lot of that silly content in 1980s and 1990s BBS's, as well as on Usenet and the early Web. People could definitely find an audience for it. What we didn't have was "social" media and its pervasive matching of online with IRL identity and social ties.

So when deluded people read something outlandish online, they're now left free to assume that some halfway-trustworthy real-world entity must be endorsing those claims. There's no expectation of critical thinking or skeptical debate about what we see online because real-world norms are very different, and it all gets conflated as "what's mainstream".
That's why I made reference to a generic "mega civilization".

We're talking hundreds of millions of years from now, the only safe bet is that "humans" as we understand them won't be around. That would be as weird as the vernacular language of a people being an English we would understand, in 100,000 years!

Our descendants might be a mega-civilization. Our creations might be, or rather the descendants of our creations. We might get wiped out by an alien von Neumann probe, get wiped out and then get von Neumann probed, or ordinary colonization, or, maybe we'll uplift the rats and they'll overthrow us, or dolphins will come back on land and grow thumbs!

It's a lot of time, is what I'm saying.
The real reason storing nuclear waste is expensive is... not something that is actually true. Storing nuclear waste isn't expensive. Nuclear waste could magically disappear and it would only have a very minor effect on the economics of nuclear power. Or, a country could splurge and reprocess spent fuel, at a higher cost than just storing it, and also not significantly change the economics (this is what France did.)

Nope, we don't use them yet. Bane of my life. We rely on all core calls and plugin authors escaping content before calling our DB layer.

That has to change and will be part of the move to PDO. It's just a lot of faff work and there are always shinier things to work on.

I've been secretly hoping that some kind soul will do it and issue a Pull Request. But maybe I should stop being lazy, bite the bullet and do it myself!
I think this comes down to whether you agree that money == value, and that value == utility (i.e. that people will pay for things that they find useful)
I wish TSMC decided to go with the UK. We have ARM here, RPi and others plus very talented people. Hopefully one day it will happen.
It depends on when in the interview process you give the task, and if they're interviewing with any other places. If two places do this, a person now needs 8 hours or 12 in the week you give them. Ask for the task to be done before properly interviewing them and that presents more problems I hope that last one dies.
This is Google Fi, the cell service. Not Google Fiber. I don't use more than that because I used uncapped wifi most of the time. I think on wifi I'm probably using around 9-10 GB most days, but it wouldn't be too hard to use over 20 here and there.

CRM system such as SugarCRM or Odoo or Dollibar or similar. Please
notice that each of those systems have collaboration in first place
and they focus on people who are sorted in groups or lists usually
called "accounts".

Notes are related to people, accounts, opportunities, or other
relational objects. Tasks are related to people, accounts,
opportunities, and so on.

A type of a note could be call, SMS sent, received, note could be a
task, and yes you can and should mix all the different types inside.

In my opinion best is to make the main table to be anything, of any
type as that way you can just add a new type and continue with
development. An entry in the same table could be a note, but also
task, but also reminder or calendar. And why not make it a hyperlink
to directory, DJVU file, PDF file, specific page in PDF file, EPUB,
"Follow-Up" related to person, assigned task related to person Joe
while assigned to person Jane, task assigned to group of people
encompassing Joe and Jane and relate to company ABC LIMITED or
Markdown, or plain text, or spreadsheet, allow uploading of files if
you have not done so previously, a message ID that user can click, a

This is the guy who created reddit, by default he can do anything physically possible. The only way he wouldn't have this functionality is if one of his employees specifically added something to block him from being able to do it, and this addition could not be reversed.

And there are many very legitimate reasons to have the capability to modify entries in a database, but honestly even if there weren't, making a system where it's impossible for anyone other than the originating user to modify an entry is a challenging task.
>Here you have people putting in a lot of work for free…

I'd wager it's either a perceived, or in some instances, actual, power that motivates a few few of these folks. I don't doubt there are do-gooders out there who want to see their artisan needlepoint subreddit do well, so they volunteer their time to the community... but I also believe that once a community reaches a certain size, the folks motivated by power start to seep in.
This is reasonable, nevertheless they should give at minimum some dozens notes for people to actually try that. 3 notes sounds more like "fuck off". Even a time-limited (what I generally find a bad idea too) trial would be better. And I doubt some 100-1000 notes would eat too much resources unless they let you insert HD video in the notes (which absolutely should be a paid premium feature if it actually is there).
The ability to add tasks and events in the Agenda view is in the roadmap indeed :) Along with drag/dropping a task onto this view.

Thanks. Very clear.
