Wealth accumulation, i.e. “savings”, is a virtue. Benjamin Franklin is known for the phrase “a penny saved is a penny earned.” It is extremely common to want to leave a legacy to your kids after you die - this is a natural, human trait.
we don’t modify and distribute your application code without your knowledge and approval º

Notably, this person used “don’t” and “will not”… as opposed to “can’t” and “cannot” º

So the next stage in the plan for the tech giants is to now take control over all our software applications and really lock them down too?

With locked iDevices and smartphones that don't allow you to install the system software you want, that can be crippled and made unusable by the manufacturers, and have nearly unrepairable hardware (with lobbying opposing right-to-repair legislations), the tech giants have ensured that we have already lost control over our hardware devices. Today we only "own" them in name.

The article highlights a real worry - It is not at all far fetched to believe that by wrapping apps with their own proprietary codes, the tech giants can control and steal our app data (a very likely goal of all the tech giants) and even modify the apps to cripple them or convert it to a malware (at the behest of over-reaching governments).

This just adds to my worry, and ire, at App Stores, and provides a new perspective of them I had never considered before.

That's not the point going down this thread. If part of it is GPL (and not LGPL), it makes it impossible to release compiled binaries made with it that are not GPL. It appears they attempted to switch to LGPL to fix that two months ago[1], but perhaps missed some parts.

And having the knowledge to correct when something isn't as expected. Example would be vegetables leech more water and you need to reduce or increase heat to dry it out. Maybe the tomatoes aren't as acidic as usual in the soup and you need to add more acid.

I think the article oversighted that even dollar general has loss leader products. When I was a poor student, I remember practically living on $2 worth of 5-10 bananas and a gallon of milk everyday, it was the cheapest in my town and I looked.

You can be poor and still have a fair, unexploitative shopping experience at those stores.

Yes and no.

Meaning that nowadays three ways sockets ( Schucko/10 A/16 A) are common enough, but a Schuko (or a three way one) will take two "modules" whilst both the 10 A and the 16 A are narrower and take a single "module". (typically electric boxes in the wall are either a model 503 - three modules - or a 504 - four modules, but these latter oness can only be found in more recent houses), so until the use of 504's became more common, historicallty Schuko's were rare, as it was not possible to have in the same box a bipolar switch+fuse+Schuko (while it was possible to have bipolar switch+fuse+16A) which is/was the proper setup for high power sockets and with a single socket installed, it resulted in looking asymmetrical, see:

https://www.elettronew.com/blog/2017/05/11/presa-elettrica-t...

JFYI, recently came out a new kind of socket (not yet very common) that allows in two modules to insert either a Schuko or two 10 A (or 2x16 A or 1x10A and 1x16A):

https://www.archiproducts.com/newsletter/dossier/193843

The 10A one is actually compatible with the class 2 (earthless) Europlugs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

Schuko's have larger pins, and it is not a good idea to jam them in a normal Italian 10A plug as the plastic cover of the plug might crack.
"Systems throughout the OS fail to things that were no longer short commands with muscle memeory, there were now ridiculous convoluted commands like systemd-resolve --status instead of 30 years of typing cat /etc/resolv.conf"

As a sysadmin, for me things like that were very, very minor issues.

The main problem was that systemd had awful documentation, written by people who'd clearly never had to use systemd in anger and just assumed that everything would work swimmingly (and please don't say read the man pages.. those are barely adequate).

When things broke there were no simple and obvious ways to fix it, you had to dive in to its labyrinthine spaghetti architecture and hope and prayed you somehow got the Rube Goldberg machine to work.

Hopefully that's improved by now, and there's some canonical documentation that really shows you how it all fits together and how to fix it when it falls apart.
If the US depended on something from Russia, I'm sure they'd be huge on conserving it too. I get NL currently exports more than it imports, it still means everyone else will pay a premium for EU-sourced gas, or wants it there as their supply.
For what it's worth:

systemctl | grep ssh

systemctl cat sshd

I find it useful to find the unit name, and 'cat' displays the location.
Likewise, some of us are a bit tired of the myopia coming from some Europeans. I’m writing this from an old brick home in the US, one of hundreds in my neighborhood. They’re not as old as the ones in your neighborhood since this area was only settled 150 years ago, but they’ll get there.

We’re not asking you to believe in some “American Dream,” just notice that we also have hundreds of millions of people who make highly varied decisions that conform to natural environments and resources, historical contexts, cultural preferences and financial limits.
Starlink will be good for people in rural areas, but it won’t positively change the existing economics of terrestrial internet service.

Frontier doesn’t offer slow DSL to rural areas because they’re rolling in cash from having no competitors. And when they lose customers to Starlink, it’s going to make their subscriber revenue to infrastructure expenditure ratio even worse.
I was unpleasantly surprised there still is no Linux-native version.
Great point about mandatory military service. I did not consider it. In Korea, you can go after you university.
Just because you can easely see the bias in the example doesn't mean you can in other area's. There are magicians that can reliably flip coins.

True, I've read stories where researchers have done analysis of the DNA after the use of CRISPR and found that parts other than the target had been affected.

But like all decisions, you weigh the good vs the bad and you make a decision. In many cases it will be the best choice by far. Additionally, the more we use it the more we will understand the down side and we can plan for it.

Yup, it has a down side but we'll be able to balance the good and bad parts. Techies love to focus on the good of technology but I think it's good to point out the bad as loud as possible so we can plan for it. The fact is that the genie is out of the bottle and it won't go back in. So CRISP is part of our future.
Checking the Oxford English Dictionary (https://www.oed.com), and taking the first non-obsolete definition for each adjective:

Complex: Consisting of or comprehending various parts united or connected together; formed by combination of different elements; composite, compound. Said of things, ideas, etc.

Complicated: Consisting of an intimate combination of parts or elements not easy to unravel or separate; involved, intricate, confused.
Stopped listening to micromanagers or incompetent managers. This resulted in better quality and quantity of delivery.

Let it be known that a truly good manager accepts when they were wrong and promotes despite differences, whereas a micromanager is insecure about something in their own job resulting in pushing their bad decisions down.

Sure, it will cause friction and will affect your career but your career is busted anyway because a micromanager will never acknowledge that they were wrong. Following their prescribed path only reinforces their large egos.

At least you can sleep well at night knowing that you did your job with integrity.
It’s interesting as well that the policies used (e.g., mortgage interest deductions) are almost universally considered bad policy by most economists. It’s rare to find such a consensus in economics, yet it’s such a third-rail that politicians can’t touch it
Can't beat the classy reply: If you’re game to resume, we will get everything fixed for you and we’ll try to make it up to you. And if you’re already set on building your own thing, good luck and we’ll be rooting for you. In any case, thanks for having given us a chance and for flagging something we can definitely improve (and will!).
Also, Linux isn't better everything, it is a pita.
This is why I treat windows as my gaming console at this point. I game on it, thats it. Everything important I leave to linux/mac.
Apple devices still phone home constantly with things that amount to telemetry when you use them, even with analytics disabled.

Opening the App Store app, for example, sends your hardware serial number. Macs and iOS both maintain hardware-serial-linked 24/7 connections to Apple's push servers, too.

There aren't opt out UI settings available for the majority of Apple's phone-home.
> Why do you think Rob Pike is an arrogant prick, or insufferable?

Well alright then. How about when he called syntax highlighting "juvenile spitzensparkenblinkelichtzen for kids"? How is that not condescending to pretty much 99% of his peers? And again, how about when he said that the Go language has been designed to allow poor dumb Google engineers to not shoot themselves in the foot with languages for adults like C++?

Rob Pike might be able to design three new languages between breakfast and lunch, but yes, I will definitely have a hard time being "kind and not snarky" (see, I read the guidelines ;)) when his name shows up.

How much effort does it take?

I got a lot of misinformation about how to maintain an iron skillet. Internet cooking blog trolls had me convinced I should never use soap or else I'd have to scrub it down to bare metal, soak it in oil, and bake it at 500 to restore that precious nonstick coating. Turns out that's bunk and all I needed to do after cooking was wash it, dry it, and spread a little oil over it.
Yes, it’s not great, but I hoped it would serve to correct the misperception that such slow speeds are typical in the US. I hope I can find better data next time.
Not sure I get the distinction. Hashes "depend" on the name as well. You perhaps can't (easily) unmangle, but it's still a derivation.
Good. This is welcome and excellent news, I hope more regulators follow suit of this to more unregulated exchanges in the future.

Cryptocurrencies are only used for scammers and fraudsters. I would go as so far as to banning them all.
You will be able to install the software you want on the computer you own without going through some corporation's central "store"? The fact that this is surprising or noteworthy is just sad.

Maybe a channel that's for weird problems? They'd still have to explicitly post the weird problem, of course, so it's not nearly as good. But we get some good serendipity in my work Slack when people just post mysterious-to-them experiences that they're still working on.

But the thing is, what if you produce a Big Mac with the exact same ingredients and recipe at O'Donnels burger joint? The customer gets the exact same thing, only made somewhere else.

Still that's OK, I slap "Made in America" and a US flag on some plastic bald eagle I make in China and I'm sure nobody has a problem with it.

PGIs, like trademarks and "Made in USA" protections are good for the consumer. It empowers them. Nobody is stopping you buying cheese made in the greek style way, or stopping you putting cheese and some lettuce and a couple of burgers in a bun. They're stopping someone from passing off what they made as something else.
Who said it was surprising?
Uncomfortable questions nobody asks because everybody is afraid of the answers.
Did you check your firewall logs to see if it actually disabled it?
The same is true for environmental law.
So if I can summarize the article, the economics of dollar stores are "sell things for more than it cost to buy them".

I mean, it seemed like the article wanted to have some nefarious take, but offering smaller quantities of items so people can afford them, even if the per-unit cost is higher, doesn't seem like some unexpected malicious intent. I mean, I certainly expect to pay more per gram if I'm buying a travel size of toothpaste vs. the 4 megatube family pack at Costco.

And the fact that the stores are oriented so the popular items are in the back - just like literally every grocery store in the country - is also unsurprising.
I don't think it's that people are warming to systemd. It's more that there are two kinds of people now:

1. People to young to remember stable software.
2. People who have given up, and just accepted that Linux too "just needs a reboot everynow and then to kinda fix whatever got broken".

systemd has normalized the instability of shitty system software. And just like how you don't see front page news every day about 1.3M traffic deaths per year because it's not news, you don't see people up in arms about shitty Linux system software.

It's normal now. It didn't use to be.

Yes, ALSA is better than OSS, and then PulseAudio and now pipewire. It can do more. But when did it become acceptable to get shit, just because the shit could do more things?

Pipewire is not bug free (I have a bug that's preventing me from an important use case), but it's sure more reliable than PulseAudio, while still being more capable.

So maybe Pipewire is showing a trend towards coders actually giving a shit?
That's true, I don't think it will be exploding without either of the blockers you mention being overcome.

I do think the above poster hasn't made it clear the experience they're speaking to. A lot of "anti" sentiment I see is based on things that aren't really true anymore. If all were informed and were giving their considered opinion that despite recent advances they still don't foresee a large gain in marketshare then that's fair enough. I think my main issue is with uniformed generalisations being stated as if fact backed up by recent and relevant experience.

Having said that I do agree with your post, so please note that my criticisms don't apply to you!
I am actually referring to the 'Big Money' lobbying when I say 'lobbying'. My confusion, thanks for the highlight.
There was this review done a while ago on a product similar to that design, but with some changes made: https://youtu.be/oCghRn2Zae4
Wait, what? Are you claiming that mirror symmetry is "secretly" Langlands? This is not my understanding, and I'd appreciate a citation if you are indeed making that claim.

Moreover, it does not seem to me that, for example, the Clay Millennium problems are all glosses on the same underlying problem, so I'm a bit confused by your statement.
It’s been an interesting decade to be an Enterprise Organisation that’s been happy with Microsoft for more than 30 years.

We went into the cloud before Azure was a thing. AWS was a thing on the US when we did it, but back then no one in the Danish public service would’ve put our data into an American cloud. We instead rented iron instead of buying it, which sort of amounts to the same thing except it isn’t in your basement, but in someone else’s. Perfectly fine when the business case is there, which it was, and it helped us immensely for the world of today since we began getting everything virtual back then. Anyway, a decade later and now the move is going toward Azure (it could just as easily be AWS if Amazon had Office365) but it’s not like we want to move away from Microsoft as such. Yes we are idealists who want more open source in the public sector, but we’re also realists who have a staff of 30 to deal with the IT needs of 10.000 employees, some of which can’t tell support if the device they need help for is an iOS or Android device. We also don’t pay our IT staff enough to hire equal level talent for Linux systems, because that talent mass is just so much smaller.

Getting back to my point though. Over the years we’ve gone from using different Kanban and planning tools to using Microsoft teams and planner. We’ve gone from using different document sharing systems (and the strict control over these) to using OneDrive for business. We’ve gone from using Cisco software phones to using Skype for Business and teams. We’ve gone from using dreambroker to using the video tools in windows and teams for presentation. We’ve gone from having different ways of running the scripts that maintain our org data, and BI tools that present them, to using azure services and powerbi. We started our using Softomotive as our Robotics platform and became the leading public sector organisation with it, and Microsoft just bought it. The list goes on.

In short, we’ve gone from buying software from 30 different countries to simply using what Microsoft is now supplying through its platforms. We know it’s maybe not the best strategy, but it’s hard to defend not doing it when it’s both cheaper, easier for the organisation and what our IT staff wants because it gives them CVS that can be used almost every where.

Maybe this is just Microsoft being very good at spotting trends in the European public sector, but they are just so much better at it than agencies like Gartner, Deloitte, E&Y and even their competitors in the form of IBM and Amazon. Although as far as legalisation goes, Amazon has them beat by a lot despite starting slow.
> Or am I to stay at home forever if I care about my privacy?

Yes -- just like you've always been, long before this pandemic. Every time you're out in public, you're out in public.
There are other risks than advertising/privacy. They can for instance analyse what applications from other vendors are frequently used and build in alternatives.

Nothing stops you from making this style of cheese in Australia, it's just that to sell it into the EU you have to call it something else. Literally you have to make up a new name for it, that's all.

Interestingly the Australian wine industry fought a long and hard battle in the 1980s to use French names like "Beaujolais" (against the French INAO). They lost. And now they produce their own wines with different names and have been hugely successful at it. Probably more successful than if they had been seen as making "knock-off" Beaujolais.

If you are using UNIX like environments, you are forced to remember arcane commands - after almost 25 years of using Linux, I still have to open the man page for something as ubiquitous as grep - because there's so many options and you are always finding new use cases.

I tried Phantom Forces and got the impression that the main thing going for it was being available in Roblox and a clone of a great game. There are many fps clones in Roblox and PF may be the best of them but I don't think it is comparable in quality to games like CSGO and Valorant.
People must actively enroll to listen to "ads". This creates some inertia.

The conversion rate on tinder is very very low, it's nothing personal just female privilege (some are just looking for validation "im pretty", not dates). The solution is to save lots of time by automating it. You can do about 1000-4000 swipes a day using a bash script. On Linux bash+xdotool or bash+adb. Don't take it to seriously, you will get matches. To find potential girlfriends this way takes about a month. Some will ghost or be mean, that's just the shitty tinder experience for men. But this method always worked for me. You can try different states / countries, your popularity my vary depending on location.

Alternatively just pay a match maker and relax.

You are a decade younger than me, don't worry, you can try out lots of woman and have by no means "failed".
