Trump is an extreme example. He basically did everything he could to get himself into trouble. He operated as a troll essentially and instigated the public on Twitter, followed by an attempt to overthrow the government.

If we looked at normal and even favorable politicians like Nancy Pelosi or President Biden, we might find something worth investigating as well but has gotten swept under the rug.

Punishing politicians in itself can be political even...

The current way we're approaching this is to split the reference E2EE implementation into its own rust crate (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/tree/master/ma...) which can be used with any SDK (e.g. we're almost finished embedding it into the Kotlin matrix-android-sdk2 client)

Separately, there's also the overall matrix-rust-sdk https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk for clients to use as a "full fat" Matrix client SDK - as used by Fractal Next (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/tree/fractal-next) etc. We might end up using this in Element too in future (especially in Element iOS, where a Swift UI + matrix-rust-sdk backend could be quite a cute next generation architecture).

So while the first generation reference Matrix SDKs (matrix-js-sdk, matrix-ios-sdk and matrix-android-sdk) were completely independent implementations, each with their own bugs and increased audit surface, we're hoping that matrix-rust-sdk will simplify this a lot in future.

This is what bugs me about out current state. Sure, I ended my addiction to social media but I often still rely on my friends telling me about events that THEY saw in their feed. I wish business and artists would stop using social media as their primary platform for engagement. Use a website instead, an RSS feed or email.

Pardon my rudeness, but if that's the only thing someone sees as elite, I'd suggest that the person's own elite status is just a notch below them.
I don't think universal moderation (a moderation standard across all users) is possible or even desirable.

Different users want different things. There are users who never want a single even mildly insulting word. There are users who want unlimited freedom.

The best you can do is to break down moderation and let people opt into a level and form of moderation. Tell them upfront what they are getting and let them pick (or let them make their own moderation rules that apply clientside).
Since most major wind electricity project needs a complementary natural gas power plant to secure profitable long-term supply contracts, the smart move for the natural gas industry is to lobby hard for renewable.

This may explain why, for instance, in Europe, a Czech fossil-energy magnate buys[1] important shares of western european media (such as the liberal-left leaning Le Monde in France, for instance) while investing[2] in coal and gas.

The nearest thing to a standard solution may be autoconf, which is horrendous.

C targets an incredibly broad spectrum of hardware and software platforms, compiler implementations, and OS layouts. That's both blessing and a curse. I think it would be worth at least trying to converge on a "package" system, even if it takes the next 20 years.
Canola oil, some seeds and (true) nuts, as well as fatty fish also contain lots of polyunsaturated fats. Most of those are generally considered healthy. Would those also become unhealthy for the reasons you've listed?

I think arguing that "polyunsaturated fats will be seen as grossly unhealthy" requires more than an example of (ab)use of a particular oil.

Exactly. Though, interestingly, the second part of your statement is only true for the online edition. For NYT-on-paper, they're liable for all of it. The same with the comments section: online, it's covered by s.230; offline, the 'letters to the editor' section in print is the responsibility of the paper.

I think people that work on this feature mean well - or at least they think that they mean well. But as a result, we have a two-tier system where the peasants have one set of rules and the nobility has an entirely different one. It may have started as a hack to correct the obvious inadequacies of the moderation system, but it grew into something much more sinister and alien to the spirit of free speech, and is ripe for capture by ideologically driven partisans (which, in my opinion, has already happened). And once it did, the care that people implementing and maintaining the unjust system have for it isn't exactly a consolation for anybody who encounters it.
I'm with you here, and don't understand the downvotes; I get that someone can disagree with you, but the argument seems reasonable to me, and made in good faith.

The rule of law however has been continuously pursued across centuries and different societies in an attempt to subvert this 'default' operating mechanism.

I would argue the nature bit is where you favor yourself. Its hard to find people who will disfavor themselves in the name of egalitarianism.

The rest is the result of resources/funds being concentrated in the hands of people who also end up with power due to said resources/funds.
My son is 12, but has a bunch of accounts with the wrong birth year because we were fine with him having them (if anything he's overly cautious) and so many sites have opted to just ban under 13 accounts rather than put in place proper solutions. He learnt years ago to never give his real birth year because of that and/or to clear cookies and try again if a site blocked him from registering with his real birth year and refused to let him go back and change it.

Those blocks are really unhelpful for everyone but the sites (who get to pretend they don't have children as users) for that reason - they don't stop under 13's from registering, but they do ensure there's no remotely reliable data on who are under 13.

The reference clients and server are a good place to start. They're the place to find all the protocol features implemented and well supported.

The Element client (desktop/web/android) is electron-based https://element.io/get-started
Synapse is the server to start with https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/

From there, what's the first place to find people to chat? I don't have a good answer there, but the 'spaces' functionality is a nice way to group communities.
Do I remember Apple updating XProtect to remove a Zoom component that allowed attackers to potentially hijack users' webcams? I do. Zoom had installed a hidden web server on users' computers that was (a) exploitable and (b) not removed upon deletion of the app. As a result, users who had previously deleted Zoom might not even realize they were vulnerable to this potential attack.

Zoom worked with Apple and updated the app hours later.

You can kill XProtect if you want by disabling System Integrity Protection and modifying the malware signature file.
I’ve always heard this line of reasoning/evidence, but never seen a break down of how improbable all of these events were, or how publicly known any of these could have been. For example, was the one large training exercise the impetus for many of the smaller exercises to be done simultaneously, and also somewhat knowable to an interested outsider? If so, it could be that the attack was planned at that time to take advantage of it. Or, is it the case that all of these exercises were super secret, rare, and independently planned, which would be much stranger and/or more suspicious. Seems like this is still somewhat knowable and relevant analysis that some enterprising journalist could undertake.
Having a single company mostly control an Open Source project means that if the company decides to drop the project, stop funding it, and/or move devs from working on it to work on something else, progress halts and it's difficult to get things back. That's why so many projects try to have Foundation that controls resources and can be financially backed, etc.

There's also the "if the company goes evil the project may also be affected", like Red Hat pulling the carpet under CentOS or many other examples.
I don't think that's true. The vaccine still reduces the likelihood that you'll be infected so only allowing vaccinated visitors reduces the risk that COVID enters a hospital through visitors. I think the vaccine also reduces the likelihood that people with breakthrough infections infect other people
I started by setting up a synapse server (with docker it is quite easy, although reading all the config options takes some time). I already had a server with docker services running there, so deploying an extra container was easy for me.

I started trying it, with the Element.io apps and convinced a techy friend to try it. Since then, he set up his own server and we have a group of friends that we mainly communicate through matrix. Also, I try to use it with my parents. They want to use it, but end up writing to me through WhatsApp out of muscle memory.

After some time I started looking at public rooms that I'd be interested into, available in matrix.org or matrix.feneas.org.

The easiest way to start, though, is to create a free account in the matrix.org public server using the webapp[0].

The problem is not account compromise. Nobody is complaining about inability to compromise Zuckerberg's account or it being to hard to register a new device or anything like that. The issue is question is the two-tier (or maybe multiple-tier) system of rules that secretly exists inside Facebook while the public materials falsely claim all users are guided by the same rules.
So the downvotes on your perfectly legitimate comment are absurd, but here we are.

To get technical, the problem that you're having isn't that interacting with mailing lists is cumbersome, but rather, interacting with mailing list archives is cumbersome. You're not wrong. Web interfaces for mailing list archives haven't really changed in yonks, and there's little incentive to do so. The only people who use the archives are the people who explicitly do not interact with the list itself.

The people who actually use mailing lists, are members of the list itself, and receive the messages in their mailbox. From that point onwards, their interaction with the mailing list is only as cumbersome as their Mail User Agent (email client, MUA). Using a decent MUA that supports threading is step one to having an enjoyable experience with a mailing list.

Unfortunately, in 2021, we've regressed from a world where we have depth of options where it comes to MUAs, to where we are now where the vast majority use webmail solutions exclusively. Webmail has definitely improved since the 90s and 00s, but unfortunately not every feature has come along for the ride, making that also tricky.

As far as the barriers to entry go, thats subjective. Subscribing to a subreddit requires creating a reddit account. Subscribing to most forums requires signing up with an email address, password, possibly username as well, along with other biographical details (optional in some cases), and validating your email is real. Subscribing to a mailing list requires signing up with an email address and validating your email is real.

Anything you're not used to using, is always going to feel more cumbersome. If "happy mailman day" doesn't mean anything to you, you probably haven't had much experience with mailing lists (or have, but much more recent).

Ditto. My family and I are all fully 2 dose vaccinated, and I didn't go out from my house for nearly a month. I caught COVID(via my mother) last thursday.
The facilities are long overrun since a few months ago, so my symptoms which are:
blood coughing, nausea, chest pain, ~93%SpO2
are considered "quite mild" and "home quarantine only".

In the wake of other variants like Delta, I doubt that people who didn't/can't get the vaccine can be protected by herd immunity alone.

A few of my friends are getting breakthroughs too, which seems like a lot in comparison to the global statistics, so it might be just anomalies.

I think the conundrum is that either Uber pays for downtime (employee model) or it doesn't (contractor model). It's literally impossible to be actively driving passengers for a solid 40 hours a week while maintaining reasonable work hours. For the model that pays for downtime, it needs to make it up somehow since it wouldn't be able to afford people just sitting around doing nothing in the middle of nowhere. Typically, this is accomplished by mandating employees to be "clocked in", unable to refuse rides, and chasing some sort of quota. I'd be curious to hear about different options.
That distinction is artificial IMO - you maintain relationship because you have something to gain in either case, be it work or friendship (different things tho). Its not like situation you have with kids or family where "unconditional love" is a thing.

So if friend expects nice guesture all the time, I will sooner or later think he is exploiting me (and other friends), has no measure and doesn't appreciate my time which will 100% of the time lead in my case to termination of the said "friendship".

There was a lot of good and a lot of bad! It was absolutely necessary to get Rust going. But even as the project started, senior leadership at Mozilla wanted to make sure that it was a community thing, not a Mozilla specific thing.

Even though Mozilla was pretty hands-off from Rust, management wise, one thing being in control of something like this just has a lot of effects. I'm not really prepared to go into a full retro of Mozilla's involvement with Rust here, I just wanted to note that there was also a lot of good there.

Regarding Rust, Amazon has done way more good than harm. They helped in solidifying Rust as a professional language with good wages.

Developers come and go, it is unreasonable to strike the big company if the future of the language is dependent on the fact that a couple of "core" devs work at it and someone is writing articles about this and that that involves Rust.

Other languages have been through worse and survived, why not Rust?
> It's not very diverse, is it?

Why do you think India and China aren't diverse by themselves, and within themselves? India probably has more languages than all of Europe. Would it be sensible to treat Europe (or even just the Schengen area) as one country, to "increase diversity"? I think that would be dumb. European countries are obviously very diverse and we see that more clearly because they're sovereign nations on a map. India and China are mega-countries and we fail to appreciate the diversity within.

> Basically no one from small nations would get a green card

Why would that happen? It would be a first-come-first-served system. If a person from a small nation applies, they'll get it at the same time as someone from a bigger nation who applied at the same time as them (modulo processing time variances).

I agree - Instagram and Facebook I only follow / friend people that I'm actually friends with and would normally speak with. Limiting it this (1) makes it less frustrating / argumentative content, but also (2) makes it run out of content faster, which means spending less time on it.

My biggest complaint about Facebook (besides the obvious shitty company stuff) is that I don't want to see what other people are sharing (meme posts, etc). I wish there was an "only show me OC" filter.

>Something you experience directly cannot be so easily hand waved.

How does this become reconciled with the fact that I cannot directly experience your subjective experience? Does that imply I should be able to hand-wave your subjective away as if it doesn't exist?

I think what part of the discussion is getting at is that a definition of consciousness would (at least partly) solve this problem.
Well, according to the top-level post we are discussing, conscious requires "shared physical resonance". I see no evidence that this resonance is required for "feelings indistinguishable from humans" bit, so it could one thing and not other.

Also, there are people out there who believe in "philosophical zombies" -- beings that are "physically identical to and indistinguishable from a normal person but does not have conscious experience" [0]. People who believe that think that "a philosophical zombie were poked with a sharp object it would not inwardly feel any pain, yet it would outwardly behave exactly as if it did feel pain"

I hope you see what this leads to -- just call someone "p-zombie" and you can make them suffer without feeling bad or having ethical problems.

Based on your comment, it looks like you disagree with that definition -- but when you say things like "An AGI that's unconscious has no moral value" this certainly brings up p-zombie arguments and the idea that it is OK to make some beings suffer because they lack something unmeasurable and unquantifiable.
