As a Linux user for the past 20 years or so I agree 100%.

The first few years it was actually some work - compiled my own custom kernels, installed a lot of extra software I needed from source.
But over the years that became less and less necessary. Kernels just work, all software I need is already packaged.

These days I just install Fedora (in my case, I assume Arch, Ubuntu, etc would have the same results) on my Desktops/Laptops and it just works.

Now, for work I still happily use a MacBook, but that Laptop is not mine anyway; I am aware and do not mind that my employer and Apple control it for me.

Similarly my private phone is an unlocked Pixel and my workphone is an iPhone.

All that is true, but - we also don’t force farmers to internalize the externalities created by their industry.

Southland farmers themselves are saying that if they had to comply with proposed water and soil quality regulations that they wouldn’t be able to exist due to the increased costs involved.

The backlash even from the introduction of a heavy vehicles tax are representative of how much these farmers think they rely on the unpriced benefits they are getting.

The human-designated dose of ivermectin is usually a one-time dose. One of the problems is that not only have some people use non-human doses, but there are also many who are on a continuous regimen of ivermectin. That can also be dangerous, because it is not how the drug was designed to be used!
You do understand that cows aren’t free energy generators from thin air ?

And as the big bag of calories they are, they need to be raised with huge calories intake, which is not exactly commercial TV ad grass.

So you need to raise food for your cows alongside your cows anyway.

You are just transforming energy from a medium to another and thermodynamics says that it’s totally inefficient.

https://motion.dev/guides/performance: some of the information here is incorrect or inapplicable for Firefox these days: with WebRender, which I think is now enabled by default for everyone with the old pathway going away altogether soon, paint and composite are merged, with what were formerly paint operations no more expensive than what were formerly composite operations—so things like background-color, clip-path, box-shadow and border-radius are all cheap to animate in Firefox.

It’s not a big deal by any means, because the underlying concepts of caring about performance and some things being slow still hold, but my loyal Firefox heart yearns for at least a mention of it.

If you eschew layout-affecting properties (which are an actual defined concept that you can readily reason about, unlike the paint/composite divide where you’re left guessing which things are fast and which will slow you down today), it’s extremely difficult to get browser-managed animations (as distinct from requestAnimationFrame-driven ones) below 60fps in Firefox. Servo had a nice stress test demo back five years ago where production browsers managed 5–15 frames per second and Servo a few hundred; that particular demo is roughly useless now because everyone’s improved to at least 60fps (yay!), but WebRender can still handle a broader variety of things and cope with much heavier documents and animations.

> semi brainless cows ... it's the ethical thing to do

A second way to make it ethical in terms of animal suffering is to effectively start eating road kill. That is, you raise a farm of cows, treat them well, and eat them when they die naturally.

A third way is to raise a farm of cows, anaesthetise them via their food when they're old enough, and kill them in their sleep. It's more debatable than the above but I believe it's ethical as long as it's done right (which it won't be, in practice).

This all of course ignores GHG emissions and loss of biodiversity due to the need to produce large amounts of feed and large uses of land. But speaking strictly from the cow's perspective, I think it is ethical.

From what I've looked up It seems like BLM land is cheaper than private land. The current fee of $1.35 per animal unit month for 2021 is the minimum that was set in 1981. So to me it looks like we are giving the farmers cheap land. [1] [2]

However, I also read an article [3] that seems to indicate that the complete opposite was true as farmers who use BLM land have to maintain it which made public land cost $1.20 more than private (2011). However, I don't really trust this that much as the guy who wrote it was a farmer and on the "Public Lands Council" which is a pro ranching organization. [4]

Coincidentally, I've been digging deep into Filament over the past couple of weeks as a replacement for Unity (I just need 3D rendering without all the doo-dads that come with a full game engine). I'm guessing from the submitter's username that he actually works on Filament too.

The library is presented as a physically-based renderer, but call render() every 16ms and you've got 60fps rendering (provided your shaders/materials/etc aren't too heavy). It's not a drop-in replacement for general game rendering (e.g. I don't think there's LOD support) but if you know the constraints of your scene upfront then it's perfectly feasible (as the link shows).

There's also built-in support for gLTF animations (and manually animating bones/morph targets), which is what I'm doing. I assume you'd need to implement the logic yourself if you're using other model formats.
Yes, this is absolutely also true.

However, there are some phones (including several iPhone generations) where the entire baseband/sim subsystem is isolated from the primary application processor and operating system, and essentially appears as something like a dumb USB modem that the OS can control / use / ignore as it pleases. In theory, this would make it difficult for a carrier to issue a baseband update that (for example) hoovers up photos from internal storage.

This is the same reason you should prefer a cable modem that's physically separate from your router/wifi/etc. Your cable modem gets firmware updates via DOCSIS from your ISP, and if you have one of those combo boxes, you're essentially letting your ISP onto your internal network.

"At my last job, all salaries were public record, and some dude even put together a website (https://umsalary.info) to make searching easier."

State employers, such as state universities, are generally1 required by state law to make data they generate, including salary data, available for public inspection. The penalties for non-compliance may be criminal as well as civil.2 Thus the incentives to make salary data available, as well as its purpose, are clear (the purpose is government transparency, not employees personal interests around their careers). This rationale for making salaries public and the incentive for complying pre-date the emergence of "diversity and inclusion" policies.

In contrast, private entities are under no such legal obligation to make salary data available. Perhaps that may change in the future but it will never be the same as what is required by "open government" laws, like the one that required the parents salary to be public information.

As for the OP, US labour laws do not place any affirmative obligation on private entities to share salary data. It is true that its illegal to prevent employees from sharing data, but how much much incentive is there to comply when the only "penalty" is reinstatement and backpay. There is arguably more incentive to make employees believe they should keep quiet about their salaries. Historically, that has not been difficult to do in the US since it has been part of the culture.

1 I would guess there are no exceptions but I have not checked every state.

I'd have to say Moderna, which is 11 years old and also publicly traded, but should qualify because of how recently they actually brought their first product to market.

Considering every non-cash asset is wildly over-valued right now, I don't know that I believe any non-health startup (that I've heard of) is undervalued.

I have a lot of faith in Rivian, for example, but they're valued ar $80B before even selling a single vehicle. Look at what happened to Workhorse if you think that's reasonable.

Moderna's market cap is only $170B, which seems low considering their potential to make hundreds of billions annually if they find even one new application of mRNA technology (e.g. cancer treatment).

> To me, right to repair seems obvious & essential.

Agree 100%. Actually I agree with most of what you said. I'll try to be clearer. There's no ryf-certified phone today, but there is one which is recommended (at least as gifts) by the FSF: the librem-5 (https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/v11/). Pinephone wouldn't be too far from it.

I wouldn't think it is a good idea for an "usual end user" to buy a pinephone or librem-5, they are expensive for their configuration, possibly not easy to use and underpowered; but there are some considerations that must be made. One is that although these devices maybe hard to use, they are probably easy enough for most of the public reading this. Another consideration is that they probably can be good enough to become a daily driver and have features (privacy, freedom, repairability, updates, real ownership of the device...), while avoiding anti-features(binary blobs, locked bootloader, non-uninstallable apps, no right to repair...), that most "mainstream" devices can't.

They are certainly less convenient than most android phones, but that is the price one to have to pay for it.

And this takes us to another point: the price. This price comes in terms of "clunkyness", outdated hardware and cost. There are many reasons why the price is so high, but one of them is: this kind of device is still very very unpopular. They will continue to be unpopular if so few people are willing to pay the price. That's the reason some people will have to volunteer themselves. It is not a "sacrifice yourself for a greater cause" situation, it is more like: "We're trying to improve the situation! We need help and you can contribute by just buying and using this product".

I don't know if pine64 has profits selling the pinephone, but considering they didn't stopped selling it, I'd bet the business is sustainable. It can be (more) profitable if more people joins in. Choices would multiply and improve. I wouldn't expect such stance from an "usual end user", but that is certainly something I hope to see from some people hanging around here. People who are knowledgeable enough to use them and know the implications of such devices in terms of freedom and privacy.

So, when I say "vote with your wallet", I mean: your money can make a huge difference, and not only for you, depending on where it ends up.
