When I was a teenager, I looked for "banned" (none of them actually banned when I grew up in Norway) books, and excitement turned to disappointment most of the time at how outright boring the supposed obscene parts were. I was mostly shocked at how little it used to take to get people worked up.
I wish people would not use the phrase "CADT" like this, it's not relevant, and it's insulting and ableist. Nobody wants to maintain legacy software for free in their spare time. That's all it is. It has nothing to do with the age of the person or the status being "attention deficit," which is a real condition that people actually have and suffer from. If you disagree, you're welcome to spend your spare time working on it. I support you doing that. I really doubt anybody will though, because outside of servers and Android, there is very little interest in doing anything on Linux.

If you're willing to listen, I could describe to you the technical reasons why Xorg was abandoned. But I also doubt the answer will please you, because the reality is that the reason it's perceived as being "stable" is because it's not being improved anymore -- if people were still hacking on Xorg instead of Wayland, then your Xorg would be breaking left and right too.
> Blockchain tech is unrelated to bitcoins

Yes and no. The latter is built from the former. But the former is ensured to build wasteful tech. I explain the difference between consensus and gossip in an article about decentralized forging, if you're interested:

Judging by the CVE they linked, you need local access. But, since it's a GET parameter, this could be a drive by attack where someone puts all the links to common home networks in a page and the browser just takes care of that (and there are ways to guess the local network). Though, judging by the number of people affected, it might be something else.
What if the appliance has removable drives, so its life is much longer than the drives themselves?

For reference I also got involved in a similar period and used it successfully to transact business with people in foreign countries at a much lower cost than via bank transactions.

Yes bitcoin has pivoted now to a store of wealth or even a cheap way to move large sums and it is less efficient for smaller transactions, but lightning network solves this problem sufficiently.

Again pivoting is not something unique to bitcoin and many tech firms have pivoted to find their niche. Being able to react and respond is a feature not a bug.
You're correct that this would be very nice to have.

However this is a problem the industry has been struggling with for decades. It's simply not easy (and maybe not even possible) to achieve what you claimed "should" happen. Nobody knows how to produce bug-free software at scale.
Say whatever you want about the marketing BS but focus on creation over consumption is, at least, a good thing. Even if they are doing it because they're desperate to retain their stronghold.

Even with a vaccine you can get COVID. Any body hosting a COVID virus is an environment where mutations happen.

An alternative would be Differential Privacy. There are two ways to do that: one way collects a big database, but only allows aggregate queries which give approximate answers; the other way is to approximate the data during collection.

My favourite example of the latter is if we're asking a sensitive yes/no question like 'have you taken drug X in the past year?'. For each respondent we toss a coin twice, and record the following as their answer:

HH -> Record their real response
HT -> Record their real response
TH -> Record 'yes'
TT -> Record 'no'

The resulting data set can tell us the prevalence of yes/no answers within a population, based on how much it deviates from the 50/50 'fake' answers. Yet we don't know whether any particular response is real or fake.

I can imagine this sort of thing being used for e.g. usage metrics ("did this user press the Foo button within the past day?").

Regardless of count of native and non-native speakers, singular they is still 800+ years old in English. It is ambiguous without context around the potential count and it's unlikely the conjugation rules will change in the next few years to accommodate this. However, in English (and I suspect most languages) it's generally not common (or it is discouraged) to drop in a pronoun without sufficient context to identify the individual or group that it describes, which also includes count. So even if the verb conjugation remains ambiguous (with a phrase or sentence taken out of context), in context it should make sense so long as the person is semi-competent in communicating.

"They need access" - no context, ambiguous.

"They need access" while pointing towards an individual, unambiguous; while pointing toward a group of new students on the first day of school, unambiguous.

"They need access" in an email as a single line or a subject with no message body, completely ambiguous and will elicit a response of "Who needs access?" If it's part of a prior conversation chain that the recipient can recall, they'll give access to however many individuals they are aware of be it one or one hundred because it's unambiguous in the context (for them, but not for us).

Sorry when i said "a form of public policy" i did not mean from the State. The mexican government has very little intervention in the region of Chiapas, especially outside of big cities in the indigenous communities. I was talking about the roles, cultures and politics of those organized indegenous communities as part of the zapatist movement.

You will be thrilled to learn that these folks built their own hospitals and schools because despite theoretical "federal aid" the government does nothing for the people, except sending the military to fend off any popular uprising and/or arming and financing fascist paramilitaries.

It's more visible over there than over here (France), but the same logic applies. No ruler will ever do something useful for the people. We have to do it by ourselves and for ourselves, such is the logic of democracy, and any parliament ruling from above is fundamentally incompatible with the basic principles of democracy (or anarchy if you'd rather call it that).

I don’t know what the prioritization is if you are e.g. explicitly registered in some Google database, but I’ve had a good experience with just marking up the opening hours (addresses, etc.) with RDFa (or Microformats or whatever else Google accepts these days) on the official website. Of course how easy it is depends on the number of layers between you and the actual HTML, and my case was rather straightforward (three locations with separately listed addresses and opening hours), but you might want to check if it’ll take some of the pain out of the process.

Many office buildings had a network of slave clocks which were driven by one master clock.

In normal operation each clock is stepped forward by a DC pulse each minute, but in the last minute any slow clocks are driven by multiple rapid reverse polarity pulses, which align the hands to the 12:00 o'clock position.

This means that the hands of most clocks smoothly step forward, but any incorrect clocks will catch up by suddenly racing to the 12:00 o'clock position once each hour.

The problem is in practice it doesn't work and you would end up with monstrosities like "the user should define the user's own preferences in the user's preferences file located in the user's home directory."
> The word "anarchy" has bad connotations

It depends who you ask. For us anarchists it's the most beautiful thing there is, and millions of us have died through the century for these ideas of unlimited freedom and equality.

> in the USA, the relationships between states seems like a well functioning form of anarchy to me

not really? I mean there's a federal government ruling from above, no? You couldn't just have a State abolishing wage slavery and private property and declaring food and housing for all, could you? I'm betting other States would send the federal army to crush this rebellion, but admittedly my understanding of US politics is limited. I'm basing it on how the federal government has dealt with indigenous nations (crushing and betraying them at every turn) and the war of secession, during which both sides were happy to exploit black people but many soldiers killed about how to do it precisely.

> I am very socially liberal but I would like to see a much smaller government - a weird combination that is probably impossible to achieve.

You may be interested to read some anarchist literature, because it's not a weird combination at all. Maybe Emma Goldman or Murray Bookchin could be of interest to you to get started?
