I can't remember where I read it (likely Joel Spolsky, or Paul Graham), but there was an article about businesses that thrive in the shadow of FAANG + MS and others because even though they're in the same business they don't compete in a way that's worth the big guys chasing.

In this case, MS Teams is obsessed with Office integration as it's key selling point. Which in turn means business workers. Whereas Discord users don't care about calendar integration and so on.

Modern chat apps are a Venn diagram with a modest intersection.

I can't see how Discord can get more users without losing original users. Basically, a demographic shift. And then you're in the big guys territory where they additionally have 'killer features' already and that's where businesses get bought or fold.

Indeed the Mac is a rounding error at Apple.

They're only selling 5-6m Macs per quarter. [2] They sold 90m iPhones in Q4 of 2020. Extrapolating from this, roughly speaking, that would mean of the 1.65B Apple devices, 100m are Macs.

That isn’t so just because you say it is and it seems like you have no idea what it is actually like to live in China. A lot of the people pushing back against anti-China sentiments are actually former Chinese citizens… and if you look at the anti-China lobby that consists of ex-Chinese you end up with the cult Falun Gong and ultra right-wing Epoch Times. That should already tell you a lot about how unrealistic your sentiments are and who is really pushing this narrative that Chinese people are somehow all slaves who do not know any better.

If you get a bunch of people who are completed disconnected from a constituency deciding what’s best for them you end up with the former British colony of America, the former democratic Afghanistan. As its clear you don’t know the actual sentiments of Chinese people it’s a bit ludicrous to suggest that you know what’s good for them better than they do.

Nobody fought the American war of independence on behalf of Americans. It’s arrogant to think that others need us to liberate them from some imagined subjugation.
What do you mean? I didn't know anything about them until this thread, and then there is this comment[0] where one of the devs clearly states:

1. They don't politicise in their group

2. The commenter literally says: "Torch hikes are nothing unusual in Germany and there was no political intent behind it."

What's the issue then? Serious question and relevant to the thread because I too would love to see more communities dedicated to user-friendly bloat-free software. Why shouldn't we participate with them?

I'm well aware of the "lucky country" stuff (and even have Donald Horne's book on my shelf). For those who don't know what we're talking about, the full "lucky country quote":

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."
> The ideal solution is to "leap-frog" fossil fuels and go straight to renewables. This is an indirect way for developed countries to "pay developing countries fees for keeping the rivers and air clean"; those "fees" take the form of massive research and development investment to create renewable tech, and massive subsidies to price it below the fossil fuel alternatives.

That takes time. Meanwhile coal plants and concrete manufacture will continue as the developing countries grow. Even China has to operate a lot of coal plants to meet its current energy needs. Global C02 emissions likely won't peak for several years, before starting to decline.
For those interested in reproducible builds, the gitian [1] project is a fairly simple VM which sets the up the necessary environment for doing this sort of thing.

Early Linux versions also provided UMSDOS, which implemented a standard Linux filesystem in a subdirectory on a FAT drive. So you could keep your Linux install under e.g. C:\LINUX\ and boot it via LOADLIN.EXE. It wasn't quite seamless, because there was no way to exit back to DOS other than a reboot. But generally it worked quite well.
It might be useful to develop this tech and test it even if it's not helping yet though.

From following those links (recursively) i get that:

- people in their community are concerned with "cultural marxism" (whatever that means is up to interpretation, but that's definitely a marker of alt-right/neonazi newspeak)

- their mail server (run by a contributor, not collectively) is called "wolfschanze" which is a direct nazi reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf's_Lair

- someone on a mailing list (i assume a suckless contributor) has a very weird framing of history where hitler is presented as the natural result of a giant international anti-german conspiracy, and finds it strange/bad that someone gets condemned by a tribunal for denying the holocaust, without themself acknowledging the holocaust

I would add another example from their repos: https://git.suckless.org/sites/commit/758f429c404dbdd4682c72...

> +---- Führerbunker, 2015-07-31

I'm definitely not OK to take part in a community that's OK with such things, even when they're produced by individuals and not as a collective statement. Although i agree comparing torch hikes with nazis is exaggerated.

It doesn't outright state anywhere that it's not an official alpine product, and I don't know if everyone reads the site - many people will just copy the "FROM frolvlad/alpine-glibc" from elsewhere.

In any case, the Alpine people would know, and they apparently think it's a problem.

>Without context,

But you have context here! It has issues with symbol versioning! There is "strange behavior and possible crashes, ". This makes alpine look bad, because people think it's the alpine project's fault!

Please don't assume everyone is a "guy". In this case, Ariadne is not a "he" (she uses "she"), so a male-coded word like "guy" is ill-fitting.

How naive to think governments ever give back powers.
Quite likely. I'm considering it for my new location.

My current home office has a ceiling light fixture with three slots, adapted to low-wattage incandescents. I've plugged in three Hue bulbs I had sitting in a drawer, and tuned them to full intensity and color temperature as close to natural daylight as the bulbs can get. As a result, the lights almost always outshine the available daylight. I feel pretty comfortable with this temperature and intensity. Plus, my eyestrain reduced a bit, as the difference between room lightning and computer screen brightness isn't that big anymore.

On evenings, my color filters kick in on the screens, and I either kill two of the three bulbs, or bring their color temperature down.
I am wondering if this is what getting old is like. I get more enjoyment out of rewatching all the stuff from my youth than new content. And I am only mid 30s, but I would rather close my eyes and pick a random movie or tv show on my NAS from 80s/90s/00s and watch that over new content.
On your second point:
The paper shows, when comparing recovered to recovered with single dose, that there are about half as many re-infections. And yes we're talking about 0.3% vs 0.15% reinfection (that's why there is not enough power for significance), but halving the chances may still be important.
I'm opposed to compulsory vaccination either way though.

The worst the government can do in a country with 300M+ guns in circulation is "boil the frog", and hope to dear god the pot does not boil over at any point. It's not a fantasy. It's literally how the US was founded in the first place.
On the other hand, I firmly believe that creators must be able to choose any distribution way they want (similar to "right to burn"). E.g creators may choose to sell unrestricted copyrights to the most evil companies they want, it's their ultimate right.

Consumers have a right to consume or not consume, but they may not limit creator's freedom, nor by "restricting copyright to force delegation".

I'm not an expert, but I'm under the impression that Australia uses a "first past the post" / "simple majority" voting system. If that is true, calling it a "modern democracy" seems deeply misguided, democracy yes, modern no.
There's a difference between "sitting on their arses" and "trying to grab every single customer possible".

I am running several projects [0]. One of my latest is https://fromzerotofullstack.com , with video for developers to learn from real projects.

For it I use htmx [1], sass [2], Django, Postgres, and Auth0 [3].
I deploy on linode using Ansible [4].
For the videos I use OBS [5] and some custom python scripts.
If I need any extra 3d or animation, I use Blender[6] and Shotcut [7].

I have tried other technologies for other projects, like React or Elm (which I find great). But so far this setup (maybe changing custom css by tailwindui mostly) is my most productive.

Fyi in case anyone reading this didn't know, Element is a client for the Matrix protocol, by the people who are the prominent developers and supporters for the Matrix Foundation.

Matrix only has inbuilt support for 1 on 1 calls right now, it (Element) uses Jitsi for group/channel calls. Native Matrix group calls and video calls are coming very soon, along with (hopefully) push to talk in the Element client, and custom emoji for those who like that stuff.

Discord now lets you change your username and avatar per server. Though to have a different avatar on different servers you need nitro.
I like that, but unfortunately it's just for the web. My personal website could fit in there btw https://staticadventures.netlib.re/

I'd be interested to have a more generic community in the spirit of suckless, though maybe not as radical in its interpretation of minimalism.

From the recent threads about Haiku OS, i gather that implementing features/UX is not incompatible with respecting user resources. That's what i'm interested in.

I also follow gemini protocol development, the Jabber/XMPP community, and i'm also a member on rawtext.club (an SSH social network where i'm not as active there as i should be).

I'd be interested in a cross-project platform much like suckless to gather such lightweight programs/protocols, if you can think of any.

This reminds me of the 'Law of Line Extension'[0].

What I think they can successfully do, is rebrand as a new product (Accord is a name that might suit it, given the nature of office communications), disassociate any gamer connections, and link it to Discord by adding an account switcher.

> The employees are incentivized to do so and this is what they measure, so this is what they build

I also work in data teams and this is directly my observation too.

Closely related are Conway's Law (you ship your org chart) and Goodhart's Law (commonly paraphrased as 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.')

In Netflix's case I certainly feel the shipped product is too close of a reflection of org structure and incentives and user experience suffers as a result.

This feels particularly evident in the treatment of thumbnails and title descriptions. Often I find myself clicking through on a thumbnail in order to read the description only to find that the I've already read the description and didn't want to watch that title, but the thumbnail has since changed.

I'm sure there is some team in Netflix whose sole purpose is increasing thumbnail clickthrough rates. And they are probably succeeding in that respect by changing the thumbnails. They get to win at their portion of some funnel, even if the net result is a lousy user experience.
In my limited experience Discord seems almost identical to Slack but with a much worse UI. Combine that with the fact that belonging to more than one server quickly becomes overwhelming (again, largely due to crappy UX) I’m concerned about how many communities are utilising it.

Can somebody that likes it explain why it seems to be doing so well?
Pick any combination:

- They are different than you

- They don't talk about it (because saying you don't really care to see your co-workers is/was kinda taboo thing to say in office)

- They work in a different environment with different kind of co-workers
>>What prevents abuse after posting a valid ID?

Nothing, but it should shield them from liability. They can always say a valid ID that shows the user is over 18 was submitted, if there is any legal issue then it can and should be handled by the law enforcement.

>luminaries like Ray Kurzweil

This is satire, right?
That's unrelated. Godwin's law state that you would call someone you disagree with a nazi in order to discredit them.

In this case, i agree with the suckless arguments, but i'm considering serious evidence that key contributors to the suckless community are actual neonazis, and that the community at large seems ok with it because they claim to be non-political (see other comments).
Good luck getting non-emacs users to adopt emacs for this purpose. Of course you know that Emacs is the Best there is. It's just that ordinary people seem take so much convincing...
