WSLg doesn't seem to have much overlap with Windows Subsystem for Android (although WSL itself does). Android doesn't use Wayland, or generally any of the GUI stack that desktop Linux does.

Pretty sure the point of the WSL and WSLg projects are to lure developers who would otherwise use macOS. After all, your local environment is likely even closer to production using WSL than it is on the BSD-derived macOS userland and Darwin kernel. Actually, early on in its life macOS (poorly) supported X11 apps using XQuartz as a similar lure.
1. My experience with Windows 10 is that there's a considerable chance that it will break after an update and refuse to boot requiring me to reinstall it. With Linux even when using bleeding edge Arch things rarely break and when they do I can see WHY and then FIX it.

2. Not a problem with AMD at least.

3. Mileage may vary

4. Ubuntu is a joke. Try Manjaro.

5. Learning curve is steep but you install Gnome or KDE and have a proper desktop environment that don't get in your way or show ads without touching a single configuration file.

6. Mileage may vary but most distros are Debian, Arch or Fedora based and environments are not that fragmented as you make it sound. Also there is Flatpak and others as an alternative for building and distributing desktop applications.

7. I'm playing games with decent performance on a GPU that was released on last month. Also it's only crappy if doesn't get the job done and is good that the community cares for long term support better than this trend of disposable software and planned obsolescence.

8. Never had this problem.
They apparently don't like foreigners pushing political propaganda into the games they play.

Tbh, I think the fact that the Pentagon are basically brainwashing kids through games like Call of Duty deserves more attention. Some modern AAA games are highly political and filled to the brim with western imperialistic propaganda.

The main argument behind pro-choice is that women own their own bodies, not society at large.
Do you live in the states? I live in Estonia and these are the types of Saunas you see eveywhere. These days more factories are popping up with more interesting/modern takes on the traditional sauna.

If you say so. Good luck on winning the Darwin Award: looks like you’re a strong competitor.
>> 1.1.1.1 is delivered across Cloudflare’s entire network that today spans 180 cities. We publish the geolocation information of the IPs that we query from. That allows any network with less density than we have to properly return DNS-targeted results.

Cloudflare makes an exception to this rule for Archive.{today,is,...} domains. All queries for this domains come from Amazon EC2 in the U.S., not the 180 edges of Cloudflare. This was on blog.archive.today. Why? Who knows. But the decision to break up is made by both parties, not just the archive.
Just that things like answering machines or phone records for long-distance but not local calls are less familiar and relatable, so plot points that would have been obvious to the audience at the time can't be taken for granted.
Non native multiplayer games are quite often a no go, which was my gripe with putting GTA V on the list since the concurrent player base is nearly all due to GTAO and if you run it on Linux through proton you risk a ban.
It's _at least_ not a good sign for a society's treatment of women if parents preferentially don't even want one.
> Metadata is as important as content, and email leaks it

There are a lot of cases where I don't have any reason to care about metadata leaks. I've written plenty of reports for example where it was no secret that I was writing the report, what it was about, about how long it would be, when it would be finished, and to whom it was to be delivered.

As far as I can see delivering those reports as encrypted attachments to email would be fine.

> Every archived message will eventually leak

My encrypted attachment would be fine with this too. If some receiver archives the email the attachment will be encrypted in the archive.

RSS is as you mentioned, syndication. Not discovery.

I guess apps like feedly have RSS recommendations, but that's not the same thing.
I don't fully understand how archive.is operates. They don't remove copyrighted content (which I like, since it provides a useful service), they must have probably terabytes upon terabytes of data in some datacenter somewhere, yet they never seem to be shut down by the govt or their datacenter/cloud provider. Am I just naive to be surprised by this? How does all this work exactly?
Women are neither a minority nor an opinion.
Not to mention kids being at home.

I got so little work done that first few months until daycare opened back up. You can’t do much work with a one year old and a four year old demanding your attention. Focus work was impossible, and speaking in meetings had to be timed for the few moments of quiet.
"Use a different distro" is the best advice any Linux person could possibly give, because no matter what distro you use they can still say it!
> Facebook claims to be a social network. Those types of networks normally DO NOT allow you to promote other social networks.

I don't see how that makes it legal.

Herey other examples of potential actions that would also clearly qualify as illegal anti-competive behavior:

Microsoft could decide to block the download pages for Chrome and Firefoz from being shown in IE.

Google could block results related to Bing in their search engine or browser.

I don't see how this behavior by Facebook is any different. If it can be shown that this was done deliberately by Facebook, I have little doubt that it would also qualify as anti-competive behavior.
Yes. Same thing, same feature. This is what "conversation" mode is, also known as message archive management, or XEP-0313 (a standardized extension/feature of XMPP).
The problem is that not everyone wants to self-host, not everyone wants to manage hardware, and not everyone's tech scales in an extremely predictable and easy way. We launched a new tenant that required a bunch of new EC2s, databases, etc. Was trivial with AWS with terraform. If we did our own homegrown solution we would have had to have that hardware either ordered and waited on or have that hardware ready in reserve just burning cash doing nothing.
I have long hated Cloudflare, so it's hard to be on their side here. They MitM large parts of the web and often trap you in long or even infinite loops with their horrendous checker that some sites unfortunately use. It's especially bad on less common browsers. In two cases I had to spoof my useragent or it would literally never pass the check, locking me out of several sites.

Even if the block was without reason, I would've thought "fair enough, Cloudflare sucks". It's weird to me how many people willingly use Google or Cloudflare DNS. I would have to be in quite the pinch to rely on either, like a site I need is blocked and I happen to remember their simple IPs, and also I can't use something like an ssh tunnel instead for some reason.
Except I don't think it is even documented anymore?
I get that some people love their offices and think they are amazing work environments, but when I probe, it always seems to boil down to emotional attachment. A lifestyle choice. Offices usually don't actually improve productivity, IMO.
They used to support Safari for Windows but it was a lot of work. It was worth it so that developers using Windows had a change of testing for Safari as well. Once the iphone came out and Macs became popular development machines in their own right, the burden of supporting Safari on Windows stopped mattering.

In Google's case the opposite applies: they don't have a development platform but need ubiquity because collecting user data is their reason for being. So they need to support a lot of platforms for the sake of their customers' (i.e. companies buying ads).
Well, Facebook bought the Israeli startup Onavo explicitly so they could track which new social apps are starting to become popular on user phones, so they could quickly acquire those or copy their features and kill the competition.

If you bought a ticket it is already too late. This will do nothing. Take a cab or greyhound instead if privacy is paramint.
How could you possibly legislate away such a thing though? Outside of a total ban? To my knowledge, not even the totalitarian government of China has successfully been able to legislate it away.

I always have heard it said “if you have one remote employee on your team, everyone is a remote employee”, because if you don’t interact as if you are all remote, then the remote employee is going to miss so much.
Does firstmastodon.local need to be federated with anothermastodon.local for you to follow someone on it?

What a completely worthless set of data. Not only do their findings mean nothing for long term remote work, it’s now fuel for the anti-remote work movement. Shameful coming from nature.
A trifle blip? Hardly. It was exhaustively covered by the largest media outlets in the US for more than a decade.

It was a 24/7 talking point by everyone on the left politically from the day the US invaded Iraq until the day Bush left office. Across all forums, anywhere a comment could be posted.

Google: "nytimes iraq death count" or "nytimes bush iraq civilian deaths"; or any number of dozens of variations on that same premise.

You must have missed the endless media parade about the Bush death count, and deaths from drone strikes. The headlines and discussion were everywhere across social media, mainstream media, on blogs.
I remember sitting on the other side of Boston Harbour on the eve of September 11th, watching planes start and land while drinking a beer. I have often thought: please, god, take me back to that evening, let me call the police and tell them what will happen the next day. Then I think: they wouldn't have believed me anyway and arrested me instead.

I will never forget the days of chaos that ensued. Boston is close to NYC. We knew back then that things would be very different from then on. For at least a year I would open news pages and except something terrible terrible until that fear faded slowly over time.

It's a large enough issue that you can't really sum up “the main argument” in a pithy Hacker News comment; most anyone with a reasoned opinion has thought about it enough to fill several essays, and to get the “main argument” requires considering a lot of people's reasoning.
But it is true. You can call it even with cURL and get a JSON string back.

Of course, you need a GraphQL API first. Apollo is good if you want to resolve all your entities manually, but there are novel integrated database approaches like Dgraph that generate everything based on the schema.
Quite a few of these hot takes have been deeply embarrassing for their respective media outlets.

>No, the Epic v. Apple injunction absolutely positively DOESN'T allow developers to incorporate 'buttons' for alternative IN-APP payment mechanisms

Interesting. I never thought of “factoid” that way, and if that is an alternative meaning, then the “new” version has been around a long time. My introduction to it was from reading the “Factoids” section in “3-2-1 Contact” magazine as a kid in the 80s.[0] It was my favorite part of the magazine. Let me feel smart without making much effort.

I think that the real cause for stability and economic progress is the measure of how loving a society is to all its members, regardless of gender or any other parameters

RSS was only part of the solution, the other half... was Google Reader: the homepage's "Suggested" section learned what you were starring/following and provided new content. I found tons of new stuff to read with that.
While probably violating a bunch of ToSes, this does work, but its performance is probably not the best from what I remember.
In Saudia Arabia the people are basically on universal basic income. In Norway on the other hand, the oil profits are all invested into the pension fund, which is very sparingly used for any other purpose.
i am going to stop you there.

The mere fact that you had a phone number in your address book is what made your locally client-side Signal app made the notification… locally.

This newly discovered mechanism does not alert the remote Signal app.

Just the mere fact that you allowed Signal app access to your local address book and actually ran all numbers against the central server is not clearly stated in their type of service (TOS).

This is the primary reason why i never let Signal app have access to my Contacts/address-book.

This is why we have no idea what else Signal is doing with remote phone numbers found in our address book. I was able to ascertain between two phones of this one-sided aspect (but for how long)?
It kind of depends on the details.

My company has offices that you can go to, but if you want to work remotely then it’s up to you to manage your environment.

The company already has offices. Why would they pay for more just because you don’t want to go to the offices.

There is a one time budget for hardware, such as a second monitor at home, we’ll have to see how that plays out with upgrades in a few years.
Yeah you can sign up for free, but to read all the paywall/monetized articles, you need to pay $5 per month.

Congressional Republicans? Lina Khan from the FTC who is personally taking up targeting FB as her claim to fame is a Democrat. Rep. Mike Doyle, chair of the House subcommittee on Communications and Technology, who grilled FB in 2020 on mis-information and Section 230 is also a Democrat.

Make no mistake, this is bi-partisan. Both sides have their own agendas against Big Tech.
And I think the number of new employees not making it past probation will increase.

life is like, temporary dude. so like just ignore the pandemic and like just focus on freedom man. masks are for sheep and my personal freedom to be able to visit a mcdonalds without a mask means more to me than the potential side effect of indirectly killing someone.

you see i don't care about the endless restrictions of my freedom placed upon me post 9/11, i care about this highly specific and politicised position the media i consume told me to care about because i can score points with the big bad other side! the side that thinks maybe you should not sacrifice a non-trivial percentage of our population without trying to restrict the spread of a virus.

but nah, don't think about all that, think about the big bad medical experiment the big bad government is subjecting us to, think about the endless restrictions to our freedoms that definitely for sure 100% wont ever end and worry some more about the biden administration coming for my guns. fox news told me it's gonna happen any day!

I love the idea behind Matrix and dearly want it to succeed, but unlike IRC and XMPP as well as (to a lesser extent) email and netnews, it has the inherent problem that it implements a genuinely difficult thing: a large partition-tolerant distributed database without a central authority and even a bit of mistrust between nodes. Now that I’ve put this in writing, I wonder if there were any attempts to do this at all before the current generation of systems. (IRC and netnews basically YOLO their consistency away because they can’t afford it, which was indeed correct when they were designed, but people did a lot of distributed systems work between then and now...) That implies that a Matrix server is necessarily somewhat heavy and rather difficult to implement.

This makes me think that the federated network must by necessity exist in a fragile and tender state while Matrix is young, and need to be tended to with attention and care. The current stewards of the protocol don’t seem to be giving it that, growing features (even if good and competently designed ones) while treating the surroundings with something of a “they will come” approach. (To put it uncharitably: Look, there are now a whole two comprehensive server implementations, and the second one you could even afford a server for! Yeah, the Gnome people gave up on independently implementing a secure client, but surely an Electron one should be enough?..)

I’ve spent a very limited time studying the situation so I am not going to make any dire-sounding prophecies; besides, I actively don’t want any such prophecies to come true. What I am is worried. It doesn’t take much for a protocol to become a non-interoperable tangle of implementation details, and Matrix is an extraordinarily ambitious one.

Seems like the change in human body CO2 production is the least of the possible carbon impacts of decreased weight in the obese. From my experience losing five kg over the last couple of months, here are several additional possible effects.

- When you weigh less, you consume less food, all things being equal, because it takes fewer calories to maintain a smaller body.

- Smaller people require less clothing.

- Smaller people also require less energy to move around in vehicles, and possibly allow the more comfortable use of smaller classes of vehicles.

- There are probably many behavioral changes that come from weighing less, although it's nearly impossible to guess what the net effect of these changes are.

Overall, I don't think these items add up to a significant change in the world carbon stance. It might be a nice marginal improvement -- for example, if there were a de-stigmatized and low-carbon-cost diet pill that simply reduced your hunger to a information-age-appropriate level. But it's not going to be enough to move the needle.
I think you need to reread my comment.

If you are going to cite a joke, cite this: Windows, you do anything and the screen go blue. Problems exist and they need be addressed but Linux did not stop at time and the scenario is not the same as it was at 7 years ago.
That can't explain it. Jews are a small % of the population and weren't "our own people", yet the holocaust is considered tragic and given a lot of empathy (far more than many other genocides). Also at that point you can't claim any moral high ground or claim the event is uniquely horrible, but the US and it's citizen do just that.
I'm impressed at how to little the States achieved since 9/11. A lot of war expenses with little results and now an even stronger Taliban, parading with US army war machines.

I remember a joke from 20 years ago: It's 2021, a son and a father are walking in front of Ground Zero and the father says "... and here the World Trade Center was standing, before it was destroyed on 9/11 by Arab terrorists"
"But dad, who are the Arabs?"

In Windows 11 + WSL2 + Google Drive Sync, you can cd into Google Drive at /mnt/g and use it like a normal directory.

> That just sounds crazy given that our first retaliation for 9/11 was Iraq.

The first retaliation for 9/11 was not Iraq. That's a really bizarrely inaccurate claim.

The US invaded Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from control of the country by the end of 2001. Operation Enduring Freedom launched in October 2001.

The Iraq invasion was 2003.

The US initially sent its special forces into Afghanistan shortly after 9/11 to work with the Northern Alliance to route the Taliban and pursue bin Laden, and then invaded.

My main issue with Storybook is how much trouble it is to get everything else running with it. Need next-image? Routing? i18n on demand?

Tough luck - you'll need to implement it for both the app you're building and Storybook. And sometimes implementing it in the app itself is the _easy_ part. Nevertheless, I feel like it does improve the dev experience and intend to keep using it. You just need to know when to cut your losses and not use it for more complex use-cases.
Completely agree. I've seen Storybook used at 2 different companies now, and always found it confusing and the docs incomplete. Developers get excited about auto-generating docs but in the end it's nowhere near as good as just setting up a static page of rendered components with hand-written documentation alongside (as another sibling comment suggests).
I was confused for a second. BBC was talking about the "migrant crisis" when the second plane hit.
