Any link in the chain will prevent distribution if broken, there is nothing special about Facebook besides being the last - and arguably only - link where breaking a single link is sufficient to break all the chains to the document at once. But you could also prevent distribution by breaking the download for everyone or by breaking the upload for me. As I said, Facebook is only special because it is a singular point, there will always be multiple word processors, browsers, or service providers. On the other hand not even this is really true, if you generalize Facebook to a content sharing platform, then even this singular link vanishes.

So maybe you mean more like the discoverability for people is provided by Facebook. But would this then not also imply that search engines have to filter their search results? And in both cases I could argue that the service provider preventing the upload would also prevent discoverability on Facebook, and not only on Facebook but on the entire internet at once.

That's what mine started as, and what most fallow ground around here turns into within the first few years, and seems to want to stay indefinitely.

I figured out pretty early on in my life on my farmette that active maintenance and guided growth is necessary for a timescale of anything less than my and my children's entire lives to see the fruit of my labor. So now I have a beautiful woods of native hardwoods, but I am losing the fight to multi-flora rose and grape vines right now because I got lazy last year and didn't mow them.

Any ground left unmaintained around here follows the same pattern. Invasive species first (multi-flora rose, honeysuckle, crown vetch, those sorts of things), followed by brambles and native bushes with some fast growing trees (the locust I talked about as well as honey locust, river birch, red cedar, red haw, native honeysuckle, various vines, blackberry and raspberry).

That's pretty much where it stays for, well, honestly I don't know. Because any field around me that has gotten to that point in my lifetime is still there unless someone started maintaining it actively. I assume the slower growing trees follow (Oak, Hard Maple, Hickory, Chestnuts, Other nuts), but like I said, in my lifetime, I've never seen a patch get to that point without active maintenance.
The industry has declined not because of hiring policies, but because we in the tech industry blew it up and because capitalism and journalism are not totally compatible anyhow.

I am also not fond of click-driven headlines and articles. But this is not a new problem; when newspapers were mainly purchased individually, exciting headlines were used to drive sales. Now that companies get paid by the view, guess what! Organizations that prioritize revenue-generating views will survive.

If we don't like that, yelling at them won't help. And blaming random things like hiring policies especially won't help. We need to figure out how to get sufficient money into journalism in ways that rewards the kind of journalism we want. Personally, between Patreon and subscriptions, I spend a couple grand a year on that. What are you doing to solve the problem?
Ports types have been converging naturally without government intervention. Even for iPhones, the writing is on the wall for the the lightning connector. It was introduced nearly 10 years ago under different market conditions (no equivalent USB standard existed). Apple is gradually converging on USB-C, MacBooks contain only USB-C ports, the iPad Pro uses USB-C instead of lightning. The rest of the product line can't be far behind given their propensity for simplicity, being able to use one cable for everything fits well with that.

To answer the EU Commission's question, "Are your chargers piling up in a drawer?". No, I have far less chargers than 10 or 15 years ago when my laptop, digital camera, game system, and phone all had different connectors. Now my laptop, game system (Switch), and phone all use USB-C (phone has absorbed the digital camera). My Kindle is microUSB but newer ones are USB-C as well.
Although I think generally a regulation to get a handle on port proliferation can be very helpful and pro-consumer, inevitably consumers will primarily blame phone manufacturers greed as the reason they don’t get a charger in the box anymore.

I know this has been a sentiment for a while but I don't know if it is still the case. And many of the answers in here don't seem very satisfying.

I'd be curious to hear if this has changed (most likely, it's been 13 years) and more recent analysis about why/if there's a difference between process overhead on Windows and Linux.
This is a thoughtful post, yet it is useful to think again about the threat scenarios.

Poettering mentions three: The obvious 'basic' one, and two advanced scenarios focused on a thief stealing the computer and then returning it. I recall exactly one case close to the these latter two scenarios: When Mossad stole a Syrian laptop allegedly containing nuclear weapon program information and returned it[0].

However, I do not think Poettering's proposal is going to even annoy Mossad-level operations. The same people who can steal your harddrive and put it back in without notice, can for example replace your mouse with a BadUSB device and get all the info that way. Once they got hardware access, and were able to return it without the owner noticing, they have multiple ways of getting what they want. On Linux we can't be assured of controlling the hardware Apple-style.

So this is a proposal which probably doesn't stop the advanced and rare scenarios it thinks it stops. In return, we get more complexity by splitting the system into at least three components*, and going back into the partitioning mess ("You only gave 300GB to /home, in order to download the ISO you want you need to repartition the system").

IMHO, the cost-benefit ratio for splitting the system isn't good enough. We should try a simpler solution with the main purpose of stopping the basic scenario. Maybe dm-crypt everything, despite the minor speed loss? Or use fs-level authentication/encryption a-la fscrypt? Either solution still allows people who want to split the system to do so.

This article tries to get away with a giant sleight of hand for a reader that might not be super clear on lab grown vs plant based. The overwhelming majority of fake meat is plant based, not cultured. Sure, one day we might see competitive economics from cultured meats, but claiming that it won’t happen because their factories aren’t pound for pound equivalent makes no sense. People are choosing alternatives to meat because they don’t want the Amazon further destroyed for cattle production, because they watch a video of how animals are treated (I dare you to watch one slaughterhouse video from peta), and because the carbon intensity is simply too high broadly. Plant based meat is now widely available and just about at price parity (not $50/chicken nugget as the post misleadingly suggests of fake meat when actually referring to R&D phase cultured meat production). The main “source” of perspective for the first half of the article is an “animal health” industry insider aka, meat industry representative. His career has been literally to keep cows alive long enough to kill them at the perfect time before serving them in happy meals, forgive me if I think he more than a little biased
Just seemed strange that the radio-frequency regulator would demand that 3rd-party selling platforms stop transactions but not also demand ISPs to de-auth them too.

I would say it’s easily possible to pick a standard that is so subpar compared to a proprietary one that it’s worse for the consumer.

A solution would be to just require any port used to be freely available and open. Require Apple to open the lightning standard and make IP related to it unenforceable.
The packaging is to reduce food waste. Will it be a net loss or a win for the environment with more produce going bad?
These two states are examples of states where it is "easy" to do your own thing. Arizona and Hawaii's metro areas do not bleed over into nearby states.

It'd be tough for New York, for example, to abolish DST without New Jersey and Connecticut doing the same, you'd have people crossing time zones part of the year in their daily commute. Then, it would be hard for New Jersey to do it without Pennsylvania (where many New Jerseyans commute to) also following suit. Likewise in New England, where Boston is the center of the universe, all of New England is best off being in sync, you don't want commuters from New Hampshire and Rhode Island to cross time zones to get to their jobs in MA.
To a degree it is not a bad idea. Landfills account for more carbon emissions that air travel, and even in the case where we collect kitchen waste it usually end up as fuel which release some amount of carbon into the air.

In addition we tend to use lawn mowers to cut grass, and chickens are quite effective at keep grass down. Replacing mechanical means that (often) run on fossil fuels with animals would be a boon to the environment and air quality. Chickens also keeps out most pests which reduces the need for toxic chemicals.

There are downsides, but on the whole I suspect it has a net-positive for the environment.

How's that going to work for salad leaves that require co2 in packaging?
I agree with your sense that most people have completely lost their sense of community; this is the primary reason that I oppose widespread immigration. Increased diversity of class, race, culture, religion, values, etc. makes it extremely difficult to organize along non-financial lines. People withdraw into their sub-communities as a result of living near people who don't think like them.

This should be obvious, but I'm astonished that it's not. I think people are afraid of being called racist, but it's a very simple concept. Is it easier to organize a high school party in a group made up of 15 jocks, or a group made up of 3 nerds, 3 jocks, 3 skaters, 3 gangsters, and 3 choir kids? Or, a less "immature" version of the same question--which is a higher-trust environment, a big group of recent immigrants from the same country speaking the same language and worshipping the same god, or an equal-sized set of random people taking a bus in New York?

The reason that I mention this is that I desperately want to change my and everyone else's life to be sustainable, as you describe in your example, and participate in a mutually beneficial exchange of value with people in my community, but the people in my community share very little common ground with me and will not go out of their way to help me (which is completely not the case for my friends and family, who are scattered across the world). This is not the case for me; I often go out of my way to help people that are not like me, but the favor is rarely returned.

To add to this, KMonad can give you these “QMK”-style tap/hold keys on your laptop keyboard too:

https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad

For example, you can put shift keys under your pinky fingers:

(deflayer main (tap-hold-next-release 300 a sft)
(tap-hold-next-release 300 ; sft))

It’s implemented as a virtual hardware device so compared to other methods of remapping keys it’s fairly well supported across applications.

The fact sheet speaks to “harmonising charging ports” and a “common port”. That leaves ambiguity between (a) all electronic devices requiring a USB-C port and (b) all ports on electronic devices requiring to be USB-C.

Who holds Apple responsible to effectively moderate the gigabytes of CSAM filmed with their products on a daily basis?
Good!

I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but Spain went crazy for over-packaging supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables in plastic. When I lived there as a kid, it was basically just thin polyethylene bags. When I went back about three years ago.. it was much worse than here in Britain, which I already thought bad.
Sorry, I took your original comment as parody.

Why do you think transferring the ability to farm animals from private individuals to a state monopoly will help reduce suffering? Is there a precedent for this happening anywhere that had a positive result: either regarding factory farming or any concentration of power solely to the state?
I agree. I really like the keyboard on the original Google Pixelbook, the Pixelbook Go, as well as the Framework. Nothing compares to the pre-chiclet Thinkpad keyboard though (IMHO).
That could be right, but I imagine they already tried that and it didn't work.
I guess I'm not the target audience then - I was a kid when TNG was created, and on the lower end of teenage years when it aired in my country. I bought the optimism wholesale - hook, line and sinker. It had significant influence on my development as a person. As much as I'm disillusioned about the real world, TNG is in my heart a reminder that we could do better. And I feel the first step to do better is for the idea to be out there.

So here's me hoping that in 5-10 years time, I'll fall into their "target audience" window and they'll make an inspiring, positive show for people like me.

I do on a daily basis, but I'm a bit of an oddity in that I've strenuously avoided the shift to streaming music. I don't want all the music. To me that's the same as having none of the music. Heck, I don't even want all of my music. I have a set of smart playlists that keep my phone loaded with a mix of less played and less-recently played songs that give me a set of music that changes every day (although it would take me a few weeks of continuous listening to listen to everything on my phone as it is). I've found wifi sync to be flakey enough that I do my daily sync with a cable.
You could say the same for most companies though - Microsoft's dodgy QDOS and Mosaic deals, Amazon's warehouses and temp hiring practices.

~$200 amazon greenhouse (10'x20') 3 8' tables and some in-ground area

I have 8 4x8' beds in the front yard and a border bed around the lot. We've done the usual fruits and veggies (Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash, Eggplant, Beets, Radishes, Cukes) and some others (Artichoke, peas, beans, asparagus) but what we've really enjoyed and has done well in our climate / soil has been flowers and herbs for drying and for honey. There's a Thai pea flower that loves our weather, and makes a great tea. Chamomile and Coneflowers ( echinacea ) have also done well. Borage has been a real winner on both the honey and tea fronts. I don't think the Lemon trees are much for honey, but they go well with all the rest. So when the weather turns and folks are feeling bad, we have Honey-lemon-ginger concoctions made from all of our own produce, which is really special.

I keep bees in the back yard and on a friends' farm. I've got a longer term strategy to raise up nectar-bearing trees ( locusts, heather and heath, citrus, ) and the greenhouse has been good for that effort. I have water storage / thermal ballast in the greenhouse in the form of a 275Gal tote fed from a rain gutter, pumped to irrigation in the greenhouse, optionally controlled through HomeAssistant - Sonoff metering switches flashed with ESPHome.

Currently adding Govee temp/humidity sensors to my hives, gathering the BLE messages and pulling them in to HomeAssistant as well.

It isn't very well structured, but HA is mostly a cheap ( effort) dashboard that crosses a lot of functions ( PoE cameras and MQTT processing in one pane ) and has a lot of folks working on it already, so it's been pretty easy to map out the data and present it in a way that makes it easy to keep an eye on the greenhouse in the winter ( camera and temperature sensors and remotely trigger-able heater... ) without opening the door and letting out the heat that I might have.
If the goal is to reduce plastic waste... Why not just tax the plastic?

For example, you could tax plastic to be sold to consumers per gram.
Replacing a broken cable is far superior to replacing a broken port. In fact I think lightning is designed so that the cable takes the bulk of any stress on the connection.
I'm not convinced the authorities in those countries really object to the practices.

Normally I would agree about bans pushing the activity into shadowy places, but at least in this case it would probably limit the exposure to just the countries with the bad practices. Basically it would hopefully limit more international trade of people.

From the opposite perspective, since Facebook unfortunately seems to be a common place for businesses to promote themselves, cutting off a country (with clear explanation why) would perhaps make some of its businesses put pressure on the government to enact some changes. Basically it would limit economic activities, and most individuals/businesses/governments don't want that.
Government doesn't regulate the other side of that interconnect. There are dozens of different DC power connectors that go into a two or three prong wall outlet.

And at least in the US I believe the regulations are local building codes

This short article is by Ray Monk, who in 1990 published a biography of Wittgenstein, which I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the guy's life and thought. Monk also wrote an excellent 2-volume biography of Bertrand Russell. This article seems to contain nothing not in his 1990 book. I found it a little depressing for him that the New Statesman is apparently paying him for an article that's a very condensed summary of part of what he wrote 30+ years ago..
> and the UK too (but they are no longer ... you know) ...

We have the same sockets in Ireland, so the EU still has the same number of different standards.
The big deal about is not so much the choice of USB-C, but the fact that manufacturers will be required to have at least one compatible charging/communication connector. Quoting from the OP:

> Manufacturers will also be forced to make their fast-charging standards interoperable, and to provide information to customers about what charging standards their device supports. Under the proposal, customers will be able to buy new devices without an included charger.

Vendors would continue to have the option of adding proprietary connectors, so long as consumers also have the option to use a standard connector. Consumers would have more choice. That sounds like a great idea to me.
Not sure if intentional or not but on the pricing page when you click on 'Yearly billing' the price is still displayed as '/month'.
