Just a friendly heads up: I used to be a huge fan of this YT channel until I saw some pretty damning evidence that the guy is a predatory sex tourist/pick up artist. I really enjoyed the content (the editing is a breath of fresh air on YT), but ultimately unsubbed and stopped watching. I'd encourage others to look into it and make your own judgement, of course.
I read that when it was posted, but I don't follow - what part of that evidence indicates that Libera.chat is untrustworthy or unworthy of support?
You can think whatever you like, but in times of crisis all that matters is collateral. MakerDAO is collateralized by Tether and USDC.
Well, burials only matter if others care about it. Other values, such as "do not harm others", etc., matter even if others don't care about them, because they concern actual suffering of living people.

If you follow Parfit, you choose that the latter kind is the only kind to care about, and so caring about burials for the sake of the one buried would be nonsensical to you.

And yet I bet they host their servers on one of a handful of popular server hosting companies. Interchangeable vendors are usually good enough. You don't have to go full decentralized. They have now interchanged their vendor to irc.libera.chat.

People who're upset about people abandoning old traditions in favour of imported ones should probably aim their ire at their own grandparents, for embracing U.S. and British rock'n'roll culture, rather than local traditions.

That is simply an assumption. It is not clear who the owner is exactly because of this "privacy protection".

Why does a nonprofit organisation need this privacy protection? The org is the identity that should control it, and the information of the org is a matter of public knowledge (if it REALLY exists, which isnt clear either.)

These issues are critical for the trust that the libera.chat domain isn't suddenly going to be pointing elsewhere due to it not being control by the "trusted" org.
Not to mention that the stuff is on top of hackernewes - anyone idling / currently on vacation / in coma can quickly figure out what is going on.

While I have exactly 0% belief in the success of Fig, and share a lot of the negative sentiment expressed in this thread, your parent post does make a point.

I spent 10 years in the kind of academic setting described. A LARGE part of the work of the people in this example do their work on ordinary self-managed laptops without a sysadmin in sight (and probably very little common language in which to even begin communicating with a sysadmin, if they even know what a sysadmin is). The amount of time that is wasted by ordinary researchers being very uncomfortable with the terminal is staggering. Although I was/am a researcher in my own right, I do feel that I had an order of magnitude greater positive impact on research by helping out the approximate dozen of other researchers around me do their terminal and programming work more efficiently/better/smoothly/reliably.

I definitely think there's huge room for improvement in this area. But I don't think something like Fig is the answer; safe and effective use of Fig seems to require enough wherewithal to ask someone (or google) how to set up bog standard autocompletion solution in the first place.
It is not thinly veiled: sci-fi is social commentary. Even Greg Egan dialling up the quantum mechanics is ultimately doing so to explore the societal consequences. As you point out, only children think it is actually about the damn robots and spaceships.

Only having a sample of one makes it very hard to say for sure.

Let's say sapient life is very common and the vast majority of such species live on fairly similar planets in similar galaxies. In that situation, you would expect a random sample of one species to be typical.

On the other hand suppose typical planets in typical systems are generally very hostile to evolving sapient life. Only very unusual circumstances can lead to suitable conditions, but there are many, many different ways that can happen and different untypical conditions that can lead to sapience arising. Well, then a sample of one simply can't tell you anything about typical sapient species, because there's no such thing.

Looking at our conditions, I think there are worrying signs that out specific conditions are actually very unusual. Almost none of the extra-solar planetary systems we've found look much at all like our solar system. Furthermore we have a weirdly large moon relative to the size of our planet, which has had a huge effect on the tectonic and atmospheric development of our planet. Historically our global climatic conditions have oscillated quite widely, but always somehow managed to escape falling permanently into an extreme state. All of this seems to be very unlikely and atypical.
The Weak, Unconvincing Case Against Vaping
To keep any form of goodwill. I personally did not care for this IRC drama (since I have not done enough research to take any side) but now I do. Now I will never join a community at Freenode. I do not want to use a server ran by immature jerks who hijack communities as retaliation. They are under no obligations to keep running it but then just shut down the server instead of acting like dicks.
I agree, there is no "enemy camp", but people who frequently perceive one should not learn about fallacies or other rhetoric material. Good post.

I'd advise you to look at some behind the scenes or blooper reel footage of Discovery. There's a lot more practical effects going on on the bridge than what I'd have thought. These see-through displays are actually practical and not post effects.

I'm wondering if the darker look is because they film Picard and Discovery with multiple cameras and there's more crew and equipment on set that might show up in stray reflections.

Perfect summary of the Indian mindset.

The non-profit isn't really live yet, this may be why. I'm sure the libera.chat staff wants do to things correctly this time-- they have learned the mistakes.

As said, the entity isn't formally created yet because bureaucracy seems to be slow. This will happen, I'm 99% sure of this.
The person you're disagreeing with agrees with this idea about morality: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person-affecting_view). You, on the other hand, (I think) believe something can be bad even if it is not actually bad for anyone.

Case in point: the people who've actually died in said genocide cannot have any feelings about what we do about them, so to consider those feelings would be nonsense (according to the person-affecting view).

Of course, if someone living (such as yourself) cares about this, then it would still make sense to care about it, since the feelings of an actually living person are concerned.
the problem is that it is the matrix.org team that can do the bridging, not the Libera folks
> So knowing that, do we continue to yell into the night or do we implement a solution that doesn't leave umpty billion devices without kernel security updates?

Absolutely. Google has more than enough power and leverage to solve this problem. Why doesn't it require manufacturers to upstream their drivers instead of enabling their shitty industry practices? Literally just make it a requirement for Google Play services licensing or something. The phone manufacturers will be forced to require it from the chip manufacturers as well.

Google already does a lot of good work getting open source firmware into chromebooks. It should do even more. Use all that intellectual property for good for once.
Well, they do, because they have to run your code :P You just can't make a new page of code and mark it executable.

The "Spilling into IRCv3" is him accusing someone suggested for board membership of lying, the thread he links ends with the conclusion that there is no evidence to support his claims.

I'd happily pay for that. Tuning PIDs is tedious and takes away from flying.
Daemon and client implementations have effectively supported SSL/TLS for many years now. You can't control whether server links are encrypted (that's up to the owners; in a competently run network they will be) but all major networks have one or more encrypted connection ports. 6697 is a typical choice. On mIRC, prefix the port number with a + to use SSL.

Newer protocols are more feature rich and don't have some of the legacy drawbacks of IRC, of course.

Of course, this only works if you can't introduce new code without the kernel noticing.
How do you propose that they do that without breaking "end-to-end encryption"? The government's guidelines basically make "end-to-end encryption" messaging services completely illegal.

Insofar that I understand the issue, Andrew wasn't the one running a large community, he was the owner of the company holding the domain used by that community. The ones running the community were the oppers, who have since migrated to run LC.
This is kind of what I was thinking while reading comments here.

I'm sure stainless rebar is easy to make. We could turn out huge amounts of it. But I don't see it ever having the same useful properties. All manner of stainless I've worked with is incredibly stiff and hard compared to regular steel. It's actually desirable in most applications, but rebar in particular needs to be flexible.
In this specific instance, the author gave a written exemption to literally everyone, in public -- specifically to allow them to self-host and modify it. So the license does not apply with this exemption in place, and that would be arguable in a court of law.

Now with my point in general,

> however, what really matters for FOSS is that suggesting the license does not matter only reduces the strength of FOSS licenses. you are effectually suggesting that licenses can be ignored.

Right, but if they are ignored by large companies, there's no chance in hell that we're ever going to find out about it. The fact of the matter is that big companies really do not have to give a shit, at this point, because even if someone challenges them, it's unlikely that any one person is going to have the financing to win the war of attrition that will follow.

Likewise, if you take someone's code and it's not open source, and you don't actually distribute it, but instead just host it, and you're small enough, then the license itself does not matter.

The claim that pointing out that the rules only matter as far as the rules can be enforced, actually damages the rules, is utterly absurd. The people who will want to ignore the rules and do whatever, and bank on not getting caught are already doing that.

That is not necessarily true for Freenode or Libera. Client connections over TLS are encouraged, and I'm pretty sure that server-to-server links are all over TLS also.

Plus, there are some controls for users and channel admins to make sure they are talking over TLS only, such as +S channel mode, which only lets in TLS-using client connections to join.

Speed is also a poor proxy for safety. Lack of attention and aptitude is the real problem.

Some people's problem is that they drive faster than they or their cars can physically handle, but they are relatively rare compared to those who are unsafe even below the speed limit. Things like texting, fixating on the spot directly in front of the car, and simply not caring about putting others in danger. They are also less likely to speed simply because they don't have the confidence for it.

So speeding enforcement is a poor use of resources. What's really needed is some kind of driver screening to see if they have the mental and visual acuity, motor skills and discipline to drive at any speed. Intense scrutiny of new drivers is probably why western and northern Europe are the safest places to be on the road. With VR simulators and eye tracking this can even be done objectively and consistently at no risk to the public. Stare at the spot in front of the car? Miss an erratic cyclist in your field of view? Can't keep in your lane? Better get a bus pass. I expect a lot of politicians would balk at the idea since they know they themselves would fail.

Also, a better alternative to speed limits is tiered licenses, just like they are for motorcycles. I've experimented with seeing how fast I can drive on the derestricted Autobahn, and found it takes a very different skill set and lots of practice to do well. Everything happens in split seconds, before you know it you're task saturated, falling behind the car, have angry Germans in diesel Passats behind you and no planned escape in the middle lane. If you want to drive a particular speed you have to demonstrate in the simulator that you can keep up at that speed, and do so consistently over time. So the people who do on-ramps and merge at 50 km/h should probably be capped at that speed anyway and stay on surface streets. Then you have one that lets you in on the right lane at truck driving speeds, and then another that lets you drive at whatever speed you please.
> I think it's pretty widely acknowledged that speed limits are not effectively enforced on cars.

No it's not, unless you have some study to back it up because it's not my experience.

(edit: just to be clear, the spirit of this comment is not to dismiss anything that isn't backed by studies, sometimes simple observation of the world around us is enough to reach solid conclusions, but I disagree that speed limits aren't respected and enforced. Could depend on where you live as well.)
That should be made clear to all those migrating. As it is it says it IS a NPO: "Libera Chat is a Swedish nonprofit organisation" - but doesnt provide any evidence to that effect.

I guess this is why some of the larger (and more knowledgeable?) projects have moved to OFTC instead.
