Replace usage of "Toxic" by "makes me feel like shit" and I think you'll understand better.

What would you want to debate against someone who says something makes them feel like shit? There's not a lot to say beyond: "I don't care how you feel", "That sucks you feel that way, what would make you feel better", and "It's unreasonable to ask me to change in ways that make you feel better, so suck it up".

Now imagine one person telling another their behavior is toxic, which means they are telling them that they make them feel like shit. Well the response will dictate what happens to the relationship. If the response is anything but "That sucks you feel that way, what would make you feel better", well the logical move for the person feeling like shit is to find a way to never have to interact with the toxic person again or force them to change their behavior.

I've always liked ascii flow https://asciiflow.com

But actually more often I've needed things like https://github.com/weidagang/text-diagram as it is much easier to maintain

But I actually need more types of diagrams, so slowly, as one of many little side projects, I've been building a little library for all kinds of ascii diagram generation

Why do you want this specifically for HTML emails and not on actual web sites? Surely it’s just as much of a threat in either place.
Assuming you have family living elsewhere but reachable through a fast internet connection you can do what I do by making a deal with them: they hang your backup box off their net and you will do the same for them. The backup box is some piece of computing equipment with storage media attached, e.g. a single board computer hooked up to a JBOD tower. Depending on the level of trust between you and your family you can use the thing as an rsnapshot target - giving you fine-grained direct access to time-based snapshots (I use 4-hour intervals for my rsnapshot targets which are located on-premises in different buildings spread over the farm) or as a repository of encrypted tarballs, or something in between. Allow the drives to spin down to save power, they'll be active only a fraction of the day. The average power consumption of the whole contraption does not need to exceed 10-15W making electricity costs negligible. You can have as much storage capacity as you want/can afford at the moment, keep for for as long as you want or until it breaks without having to pay any fees (other than hosting their contraption on your network - possibly including building it for them if they're not that computer-savvy).

Right. Plenty of people are free to use MySpace these days, what with its thriving community full of friends and family, everyone using the shared platform to communicate with each other.
Assuming the messages were delivered via email, plain text offers the distinct advantage of non-obfuscated links.

Someone had a "history of MUD sites" in which they describe a two year lifecycle of popularity. I think the same applies to social media on about ten years; there's a cohort of people who join in the first few years, because the site creates a different community that isn't served elsewhere. Then it reaches saturation, slow decay, drama, and gradually exodus to the hotter new things.

Hence all the desperate cloning of new platform features.
You never spend dinner with people who spent that time being condescending or insulting something close to you?

You can get along with them easily. But then it ends and you are happy it ended and never want to be there again.

Because getting along with them requires you swallowing all above, pretending it is ok. Acvepting situation in which they talk and you are silent or submissive.
Basically it doesn't matter if you support them because most speech happens on those platforms and you are suppressed from there. Sure you can go elsewhere, but that doesn't work when you need to reach out to others.
In that case, we have destroyed about 50% of the earth's natural biomass and we are near the point of depletion of the earth fish stock.

That means that an order-of-magnitude increase in consumption, which would trivially happen is all of the earth's existing population were to have first-world consumption standards, would completely wipe away a sustainable society.

As far as I know, order-of-magnitude reductions in consumption of basic resources while keeping living standards is not something we are anywhere remotely close to achieving.

> don't you think you owe them something? Anything?

IMHO, no. You don't owe your parents anything for doing the job they signed up for. I have a great relationship with my parents and had a great upbringing. It's very difficult for me to imagine cutting off contact. However, I also don't feel like I owe them a single thing and I think they'd agree with me on that.
They must not have heard of beleaguered either.
It is more basic than that. Which political side views having a lack of centralized authority to be valuable, even if it leads to substantial risks?
To clarify, I belive that the marketplace of ideas is still a useful principle, and I absolutely am worried about censorship in certain domains. However, like any market, the marketplace of ideas is vulnerable to market failures. The idea that everywhere should be a marketplace of ideas is deeply unwise in my view. There should be areas where people can discuss any ideas freely, but I think it is foolish to deny the idea that information can be dangerous in some contexts. Look no further than the needless deaths caused by anti-vaxx conspiracy theories. To have a healthy marketplace for ideas, you need some degree of structure.
> tiktok and youtube are not synonymous in functionality

This is a subjective distinction, but setting aside subjectivity for the sake of argument, it's a user-driven video sharing website, it's pretty similar to YouTube in many ways, but the fact that it is not synonymous is exactly my point - TikTok created something that differentiated itself from YouTube and so people flocked to it, and the fact that YouTube was already popular didn't diminish TikTok's accessibility nor did TikTok's explosion in popularity come at the cost of YouTube's popularity. TikTok created something attractive and people made individual choices to use it.
Sigh. We had to disable Windows Scripting Engine company-wide because someone complained that his invoice won't download no matter how many times he tried. His invoice in this case was a ransomware payload that the browser was fortunately stopping. Some people care, some care some of the time, and some just don't care.
Its very common the work normally has to be related.
Might also have something todo with the age in which people bring children these days. People don't know what it is like to be a parent and got no empathy to their own parents until they actually have the same experiences.
"Punishing" isn't really the right word, although it certainly feels that way from their position. As democratic societies, we've long felt it necessary to restrict and regulate monopolies and oligoplolies.

I've recently had to talk to my internet provider, and that certainly increased my citizen's fervor in regulating companies in dominant positions, because every company will immediately turn around to milk/punish consumers, and try to influence politics for their benefit.
I believe you can do this multiple ways, GitHub allows you to create Teams and Projects and then it also allows you to add Topics to repositories.

1) If you don't want to have access control on your repositories you can simply create a project and link it multiple repositories to it.

2) In a similar vein, another approach without access control is adding a topics to your repositories and then searching them in the GitHub search bar using *topic: your-topic".

3) Finally, if you need to have access controls or permissions on your repositories you can create teams and assign that team repositories.

I am not a professional or corporate user, so please forgive me if any of this not 100% accurate.

You're spot on. Anything that increases your exposure to strangers and builds trust will be a boon to society.

This is also the case with social clubs and sports leagues. Membership of these things has been in decline for decades and is now at an all-time low. Being in a bowling league or the rotary club with random members of your community did a ton to increase basic trust in society. Which in turn, makes everything else work better.

This is why consuming video content, specifically streaming services with all-you-can-stream crap is so damaging. People no longer have time for shared dinners, clubs, or adult sports leagues because they'd rather binge watch a new series every week.

I spend 10 hours per week (since about 2017) working on side projects while employed full-time, the longest time I spent on a "loser" was roughly a year.

It wasn't a total failure though, as the learning I gained from each project compounded into a sort of "platform", and led me to build an MVP of https://OnlineOrNot.com in 7 days - profitable within the first couple of months, slowly but steadily growing MRR.

Lol. Had one for almost 3 years. Not interested in going back. I personally prefer my Linux laptop and home lab, with my Windows desktop for all things gaming and 3d CAD related.

I appreciate the vertical integration Apple has in all its products, but after feeling like I was fighting the system for almost 3 years, I was happy to no longer have to use it for my work machine.

To each there own though! I'm glad you enjoy it, and I'm glad to see Monodraw get the attention it deserves (it's genuinely a very cool app).
You shouldn't get compromised just clicking a link. There's generally multiple levels of isolation to allow running untrusted code (websites) on your machine/device and being able to break through this is a serious failing
After Dunkirk, England was at the head of an empire that numbered over half a billion people - a quarter of the world's population, a similar industrial output to Germany, uncontested dominance of the seas, and a sympathetic United States that was supplying food, munitions, and warships.

It was a far closer fight than the United States and Japan. An invasion of the isles would have been impossible to pull off, and the war would almost certainly had gone the same way that it did - years of fighting over African colonies.
We are also (and I say this with a lot of love) massive prima donnas and love the opportunity to complain about someone else's bad UI decisions.
Backblaze is cool, but their limitations to make $6/month affordable on their end essentially eliminate any large backups. You must have any data locally connected to your PC or it will be purged if not seen within 30 days (so you can connect a bunch of USB drives locally, but this is a hack).

Also their upload speed is capped so you can't just upload at 1GB/s or max out your connection to ingest data into their system, like something you can do with S3.

Glacier Deep Archive is still the cheapest thing really at $1/TB, but the retrieval times and also egress data charges are a big catch.

> Can anybody suggest what might be the motivation for this?

The push for HTTPS everywhere started with HR4681[1] both of which were reactions to Snowden revelations.

> Beyond the silly "bad people might tamper with the cat picture you're shown" one that is always given?

Someone who is able to tamper with the cat picture you are seeing can also inject arbitrary code into your computer, so there is that.

Also, thanks to the push for HTTPS everywhere, a large volume of traffic now goes through CloudFlare enabling them to do that on behalf of state actors etc (I am not claiming they do it, but it is kind of ironic that the least friction thing for me to enable HTTPS on a whole bunch of sites was to put a MITM ;-)

Totally love CloudFlare BTW. The free level covers what I need. Still, it is ironic.

The UN also theoretically can step in if a nation does bad things to its own citizens ( like genocide etc).

What is being discussed here is Twitter, an American company in relation to countries like India, etc.

> to spread ideas that the majority finds evil and harmful

Who is the majority? And how did twitter find it?
If twitter lets a ranking system similar to HN/reddit, and content below a particular ratio is hidden, that might be fine I guess. it would be a mob, I would'nt like it, but atleast, its uniform.

> Get your own bullhorn and stop trying to make laws demanding your neighbor lend you his.

What does that even mean? Is twitter my neighbour? Do I, a ordinary citizen have similar clout?

In a way, I see twitter as a bully (a loud bullhorn) who was terrorizing the neighborhood one after the other. He walks into this one, where there is a stronger bully (with laws that have teeth) and slaps him silly.

This bully now cries, and yeah, not getting much sympathy from the folks he bullied.

I see where you're coming from but I disagree that the WHO is the source or the holder of power. They don't have enough money for that.

The WHO is probably just another puppet in the hands of richer state actors, as the infamous Taiwan Skype Interview show us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fASh2_RzMuE

Besides, I don't even think the people involved in YouTube and on a similar level are directly influenced by anyone. They're just a liberal company parroting their party's political line and not noticing how totalitarian these measures are.

It's people higher up setting the party line that are probably on the payroll of richer state actors.
Most likely they also own the opposition to make sure nothing happens whoever is elected.

I agree that Islamophobia contributes to unhelpfully negative attitudes towards Iran.

> It's a double standard where nobody sees a problem with England even though there's a state religion and the religious head and government head are the same person...and unlike Iran, those roles are hereditary.

I don’t think that anyone familiar with both countries would consider that the rôle of the two is remotely comparable. The Queen’s influence, except when acting on the advice of the PM (i.e., doing precisely what the PM says), on the vast majority of policymaking is negligible. The Supreme Leader’s influence is much broader. The Supreme Leader chooses all sorts of important ministers (e.g., the interior and defence ministers). The IRGC directly reports to Khamanei and he does not direct it on the advice of the President.

As for the established church, it has barely any effect: at most, a few votes in the Lords (which under the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 can be overriden by the Commons.) Government policy and the wishes of the C of E are pretty clearly in tension, which is why e.g. Thatcher spent rather a lot of time criticising bishops for effectively calling her heartless. Meanwhile in Iran, all sorts of policies are dictated by the religious establishment, e.g., Qisas.

> Iran today looks like what throwing off the yoke of foreign influence looks like.

There are many ways to ‘throw off the yoke of foreign influence’ (and hopefully replace it with a healthy attitude towards foreign ideas.) I don’t think it’s incorrect to suggest that there are pretty substantial deficiencies in the seem not particularly to like the present path taken by the régime. See e.g. Ahmadinejad (presumably irked by being sidelined) on MEMRI (I know, I know),¹ or the election of Khatami and Rouhani (whose ambitions have often been thwarted by those you seem to be defending here.)

> Never mind the bloody legacy of Calvinism though. The traditional head of the European church launched the crusades and backed the long slog in the Iberian Peninsula.

This seems to be logically fallacious whataboutism—where do you get the idea that OP wants a return to Roman Catholic theocracy?

> So long as the first reaction is to frame Iran in religious terms, the Mullahs are logically correct in their claims about the enemy without.

Simply criticising the religious establishment as done above is common even amongst Iranians, so this seems to miss the point. Now, it may be that actually this is cover for some raving about Muslims generally or Iran qua an Islamic Republic as opposed to one say even less democratic than e.g. Pakistan or Bangladesh. But this comment seems to be a sort of reflexive defence against a certain sort of Islamophobic criticism which wasn’t actually made.

I just don't think those are the requirements to get a job at FAANG. I went to a mid sized public school in the midwest that isn't even in the top 100 US schools, my IQ is definitely average, and I seriously didn't understand sorting algorithms when I first saw them in my intro to programming class. With time and practice anything is possible.

And I want to echo a point filoleg made. You don't need to be the top 1%. It's not like Ivy League school acceptance where they are artificially throwing people out. FAANG is dying to hire. My team has been trying to hire multiple people for months and we have gotten exactly 0. Every hiring manager goes into interviews wanting to say yes and the requirements are extremely clear and manageable for anyone willing to put in the time.
It's what leftists have been asking for: "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement". Add in the snowflake generational belief that their personal feelings trump anything else, and we get to where we are.

I'd be his regular customer if I lived there. The curation he provides is very valuable; I found this out over the past few years as we went through different brands of colored pencils. Even brands I remember from growing up as my favorite ones turn out to be so bad compared to the best I managed to find. The main two properties I found useful to look at is the color saturation and resistance to cracking of the lead, especially under sharpening.

Some noname sets found randomly in clearance bins are so bad some of the colors could not be sharpened even once. Maybe I need a different kind of sharpener.
I think that if you are worried about someone sniffing salary info in your org, there are deeper problems to sort out.

There isn't really something like "casual sniffing". It has to be done deliberately and with full intent. Not to mention with the right timing or long duration and non trivial technical knowledge. It isn't really possible to protect against such an adversary (for example, even with self signed certs, he can mitm the connection and resign it himself), and therefor imo, its better not give a false sense of security.
New Zealander reporting in: only the weird people put egg cartons in the fridge.

We buy our eggs off a shelf at the supermarket (not refrigerated) and the carton gets thrown in the pantry or left on the bench at home. No issues with egg longevity.

Only rotten eggs we’ve found were in the garden from our chickens — could’ve been there for many many months. That’s a smell you never forget.
Mozilla has taken similar steps to encourage websites to implement HTTPS, and I can't say whether you believe they share Google's evil motivations, but it's a clear trend across browser vendors.

Certificates are free now and not necessarily any more difficult to install and maintain than any of the other software you need to run even a basic website. It's something relatively simple I can do to ensure the integrity of the content I want people to look at, so why not?
Dead Man's Switch Use Cases: Sarcophagus.io
A few of the Use Case Scenarios for Sarcophagus.io

#1 Will and Trust
A sarcophagus can be created containing all of the credentials/private keys to your wallet. Then it is set to release on a renewable timer(you determine the time length), to the destination of your choosing.

#2 Emergency Communication
"Hiking Trip"
You go Hiking. To preserve privacy, but remain safe, you set a sarcophagus with your location and contact information. If you do not return from the trip, or reset the timer, the info is released, and notifies concerned parties.

#3 College Savings Fund/Time Capsule
Locked savings for kids college.Throw some (insert coin) into a wallet and entomb the Private Key for 18(or so) years. Imagine the value when the key is finally unwrapped. Might fund college, a house, and some savings all in one.

#4 Password Recovery
This protocol can be used on the backend of a wallet as access assurance. If you fail to login/access your wallet in the selected time frame, the information to reclaim it would be released to your chosen destination.

#5 Journalism On Sarcophagus
In this use case, a journalist writes a story for publication in the future, and sets the resurrection time of a Sarcophagus according to this. The private key of the recipient wallet is then publicly posted for people to access

Once the Sarcophagus containing the Publication is ready for release, anyone using the intended wallet can access the data from the tomb. You simply open the wallet, connect to the tomb, and download the file.

No gas is needed to download the file, so there is no risk in having multiple users access this wallet using the private key. The publication is now forever on the blockchain, and cannot be removed or deleted.
