I have personally never heard of, or seen, any scams or malware related to mastadon - aren't you giving too much benefit of the doubt?

My best guess is that their lists of competitors to keep an eye on got mixed up with other stuff. Or, of course, that they simply don't want to promote competitors on their platform, which would be normal for any non-monopoly.
> it is a less than ideal solution but that cannot be illegal, right?

First, we don’t know. The law is deliberately written in a vague and obtuse manner precisely to raise these kinds of questions so that everyone will avoid getting the procedure, except for those with the means and cover to not be harmed by the consequences of someone finding out. There’s an open question, for instance, if the driver of a cab taking someone to the airport to board a flight to a state to get an abortion would be deemed “aiding” the person.

Second, even if it isn’t, requiring someone to leave a state to exercise a right is generally considered not good under our federal system. All rights come with limits (exactly what limits are somewhat up for debate when it comes to any particular right) but, in general, current legal standing is that a person has the right to an abortion prior to the fetus’ viability. The states should not be attempting to restrict further than that.
I spent twenty years of my life feeding cattle.
I was sincerely frustrated as to how flaky it all seems too.

I have a monitor that's 4K/60 if I directly cable to it, but often only comes up at 30Hz (or 4:2:2 colour mode 60Hz) if I use a KVM. Yes, the KVMs were sold as "4k/60 support" and I've tried two different ones (one HDMI, one DP). One machine works fine, because it's a sucky pre-Cambrian laptop dock that isn't even TRYING for 4K, and the failing one is a desktop with a GTX1080.

What's interesting is that it seems like it only happens in Windows. I experimented with a FreeBSD install, and the drivers there reliably hit 4K/60 even with the DisplayPort KVM in the way.

I suspect the drivers must have different strategies to probe the capabilities of the device and cables, and the Windows drivers interpret them more conservatively.

So I ended up using the KVM as a $100+ USB switch and just toggling the inputs with the monitor's own buttons. (I gather there's software that could do automatic input switching via DCC configuration channels, but one machine is corporate-managed so I can't just stuff random software on it)
The question is: do we want to learn the lessons of history the easy way, or the hard way?
I mean, I love Linux as much as anyone, but Linux fans should be careful throwing “just works” label for Linux.

It’s heavily hardware dependent, thus users like yourself reads about improvements (which is true) but then crash on networks or nvidia “walls”.

If your usage differs a bit (hidpi, mixed DPIs displays, nvidia optimus, etc) you’re in for a hell of a experience.

Agreed. Yes, some animals will handle it, and we'll hold them up as examples. But the crash in diversity from all those who don't is tragic. The genetic diversity that is the bounty of millions of years of iteration and "learning" in ecological systems is a huge loss to our planet's resources and (by proxy) our own future wealth.

> Yes. His house. She told the cops she felt in danger. Cops told him he had to stay somewhere else and go through the eviction process. Mad world.

The pendulum needed to swing toward protecting women by default. As these things happen, it may have swung to a point where nuance needs to be applied.

Your example seems fairly complex. I couldn't opine on it w/o knowing the details of the complaint.

I can offer a different example. My ex's mental illness sometimes required me to take a stronger hand in her life, than would be benign otherwise. One time, she was in a delusional state. She stole my van and left the area. I wasn't able to report it stolen because she was my wife. The police were protecting her from the possibility that I was lying and using the police to harass her.

A stranger found her in the middle of the night, hundreds of miles away, in a remote area wrapped only in a towel - obviously not herself. I directed the guy to call the police because he could do that. Local cops delivered her to a facility where she was stabilized.

What I would change is that I would have had tightly limited status as her caregiver. I'd want my wife and I to be regularly evaluated by a female mental health professional, who had training to detect manipulative spouses. In cases where my wife might be in distress, police would defer to me. Meanwhile the details would be immediately forwarded to the MH pro overseeing my spouse, who'd have authority to intervene, if she saw an issue.

If you think that Mastadon is in any way a 'competitor' to FB or anyone at FB gives a shit about Mastadon I think that the bridge you are trying to sell only exists in your mind.

> When iPhone and Android hit the scene the 'rich' web experience was primarily flash, silverlight, and some java applets (taking their last breathe).

A lot of people have forgot that YouTube were using FLV (video streaming using Flash) during a lot of time because there wasn't any better multiplatform viable alternative.

You are totally right. The web wasn't ready for new universal types of information exchanges and we needed to use 3rd parties to solve that, in form of a Flash plug-in or an installed app.
Huh, I was under the impression that the App Store guidelines didn’t let you do that, but maybe that doesn’t apply if you’re Google.
> Funny how all responsibility is always given to the West even when the people doing the killing are their enemies.

It's barely ever given to the west, and never in major media. And when someone in an anonymous internet comment dares suggest we might be morally accountable for vast amounts of innocent deaths - a trifle of a blip of a nothing in the discourse - we can count on certain people getting their feewings hurt and becoming overly defensive. "I'm always being accused!" cried Tony Soprano.

You updated system glibc and system packages broke? Or third party packages?
Yeah, "Update glibc and everything breaks" is a quote by Linus Torvalds on Debconf 2014. But why? Do you know? I do. Because this very thing happened on Debian Testing. Not Debian Stable, Testing. That's akin to a rolling release like Arch. Debian GNU/Linux is a sane Linux distribution, as long as you run Stable. If you run Testing or Unstable shit is going to break, just like Arch or Nix or .. (at least Nix got good rollback support to mitigate it)

I'm happily using a Vega56 and can achieve decent performance on 1080p and 1440p on Linux. Raytracing is a gimmick to me, tear-free gaming not (but I got FreeSync working). I don't work with Tensorflow or Hashcat or such, I'm talking about Linux desktop gaming here. There's no need to use Nvidia there unless you need exotic stuff like raytracing. The AMD Radeon Navi series (5000 and 6000) deliver excellent performance.
You misses the point. It does not matter what kind of technical implementation or algorithm is used. If the average user hardware can solve the "captcha" in a meaningful time on average hardware then an attacker with optimized hardware and on scale can always solve millions of these "captcha" relatively cheap. If you increase hardware demand to slow down an attacker you just exclude more and more legitimate people. Sure the attacker maybe can only spam 500k messages instead of 1MM in the same time but you also reduced the legitimate user by 50%.

Even in the absolute worst case where no optimization is possible at all the attacker can still run a device 24/7 so if a normal user has to wait 20 second on a smartphone an attacker can spam at least 4320 messages per day with the same device. And it scale at least perfectly linear. 2 such devices would double the spam capacity.Aand if the block sizes are increased to slow the attacker down it is exactly as much as it slows down the real user. But the real user actually cares and gets annoyed the attacker does not, he keep the same spam/legit message ratio.
I find that many times unsubscribing automatically subscribes you to something else so it's simpler to just flag it as junk. Unsubscribing could be seen as a signal that said mailbox is active and is not something I am willing to share with marketers.

Apologies, I should have worded that differently. As the server admin, can I configure it so that it's impossible to follow someone outside of that server and that server has no outbound network dependencies?

There is nothing listening on 127.0.0.50 and iptables does not permit outbound connections.
> So if a Texas resident flies to a nearby state, getting an abortion safely and legally and then they can come back home, right? Sure, the cost of flying would deter some people

The cost and time involved will not just deter a lot of people, it will make this entirely impossible for a lot of the state's poorest resident, it's likely two days bare minimum and being out thousands, that's unlikely to be an option for somebody who's working minimum wages.

Which is pretty much the point, the richer ones never had any issue accessing such services when they wanted to.

While I can understand the point of view, focus on the content not who the writer is, I'm not really a subscriber. I like to have some sense of a person's background on a subject the less I follow it. It also sets a ceiling on the amount of trust you can develop with readers IMHO.
I'm very similar. Show me a big mathematical formula and I'll have to dig into it for a while to understand it. Show me the code that implements the formula and it makes sense a lot quicker (for me anyway).

In US homes, you would want a 90A 220V circuit mandated to terminate in the garage or wherever the vehicle is stored. This provides for 72A usable after required 20% NEC derating, and although current EVs max out at about 48A (on 60A circuits), this allows for vehicles like the F150 Lightning and the Tesla Cybertruck that might have higher onboard inverter support, as they are going to have large batteries to fill.
Extraordinary.

I don't know what it is about programming that churns out these takes about not using effective tools and making things harder on yourself. There's this odd strain of ascetic masochism that breaks out from time to time that I can't say I've observed much in other subcultures.

The problem with that is that "deter some people" is the whole point. This Wapo article goes into more detail but basically restrictions like these always fall disproportionately on historically disadvantaged groups.

So yeah if you have the money to take off work, fly to a state with legal abortion, get a hotel room for however long it takes to jump through their hoops, pay for the procedure itself, and then fly home, no problem I guess.

Oh yes, definitely the internet plays a huge roll in the world we have today, probably a bigger roll than 9/11. Humanity has seen and adapted to large scale tragedies before, but this is the first time we've had the internet. But of all the variables, 9/11 is a big one in the US. It also showed the media and advertisers how much more money there was to be made from these events. Ever since 9/11 the news media has been hard at work developing new ways to milk sensationalism junkies the same way that mobile companies milk gaming addiction whales.
From what I remember of Veritasium's video on ageing (https://youtu.be/QRt7LjqJ45k) there is evidence to support the idea that various activities which are stressful for the body are good at slowing or even reversing ageing. They mentioned fasting, aerobic exercise, and exposure to cold temperatures, so it would make sense to me that saunas would work similarly.

I would assume that you would have to very mentally stable to resist all that humiliation without going nuts.

I have a friend that wasn't homeless, but all unemployment money was used on rent required to keep his shared custody (without an apartment to house the kids, you cannot have custody).
He always was clean and used good clothes, but he made the line with homeless people to get free food daily. Otherwise he wouldn't have money to eat.

He said that the worst part of all was the look from voluntary women that were working on the food delivery organization. Each woman reacts differently to men. But he says that this is completely different. The look is like if he wasn't even a man - it's like they are feeding a lesser species.
He says that he have never experienced the same reaction from women in other contexts, and that it hurts. It steals away all feeling of manliness. Luckily he got out of that situation many years ago.
There’s no source in the article for the claim. Lol.

Sure, in Texas a lot of us hunt and eat wild hogs as they're a nuisance. Javelina are native but can be a pest sometimes, so we eat them too (good in sausage).
Both your points are fair.
Possession is 9/10th of the law? They already have them, making it easy for them to keep them.
Why on earth would you give up one of the most powerful tools in your IDE? Syntax highlighting speeds up readability, helps write correct code and IMHO, it makes code look pretty.

Color differentials are also a powerful human visual cue. This is why traffic lights are three distinct colors instead of just a top, middle and bottom light.

As to the comparison to prose, well, we have tons of syntax highlighting there too. Capitals at the beginning of sentences. Indentation and spacing between paragraphs, etc.

Not sure about op but you have to put forth quite a bit of effort to get declarative infra with Ansible. Some of it is declarative out of the box but a lot is imperative.

The main difference, if I revoke a DB privilege, I have to add a line to Ansible with a REVOKE in most cases versus Terraform you just delete the config line and the tool realizes during its diff stage and performs the removal change (it's stateful and declarative)
> It seems strange that conservatives would oppose abortions

Welfare services in texas? Not much of that, and what little there is, is probably on the chopping block just as soon as the hospitals implode (and the grid does so again).

Sex has been unshackled from reproduction for far, far longer than marriage has even been a concept, and in many ancient cultures same sex relationships were perfectly normal[0].

The axis of "heterosexuality" and "homosexuality" itself is no older than the 20th century, and even the concept of monogamy is relatively new as far as Abrahamic religious tradition goes.

I've been using Linux on my desktop gaming PC and Windows on my living room gaming PC for the last year.

I think there is a tiny little bit of a jump if you are acting this quickly and this harshly on information without verifying.

Concretely to your hypothetical: don't attribute to misinformation the issue that is most like your barbaric reaction. Not to say that the liar should not be punished, it should bear a big responsibility in the consequences of the actions. But at the end of day it was not the liar the one that killed your neighbor, you were.

> Goldstein described the project as one of the Defense Department's "many efforts focused on continually improving our cyber posture and defense in response to advanced persistent threats. We are partnering throughout DoD to ensure potential vulnerabilities are mitigated."

> Expanding on his [Madory] point that the Defense Department may want to "scare off any would-be squatters," he wrote that "there is a vast world of fraudulent BGP routing out there. As I've documented over the years, various types of bad actors use unrouted address space to bypass blocklists in order to send spam and other types of malicious traffic."

> On the Defense Department's goal of collecting "background Internet traffic for threat intelligence," Madory noted that "there is a lot of background noise that can be scooped up when announcing large ranges of IPv4 address space."
