Just create and apply better anti-trust laws and break up the monopolies. (Specially since most platforms got their almost monopolies by creating anti-competitive walled gardens with no inter-operation with other similar platforms a la Fediverse / ActivityPub / Diaspora / Friendica)

Or better yet, promote counter-anti-desintermediation: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Counter-Anti-Disintermediatio...

> The idea of disintermediation was central to the emancipatory visions of the Internet, yet the landscape today is more mediated than ever before. If we are to understand the consequences of an increasingly centralized Internet, we need to start by addressing the root cause of this concentration. Centralization is required to capture profit. Disintermediating platforms were ultimately reintermediated by way of capitalist investors dictating that communications systems be designed to capture profit.
Deplatforming isn't the same as silencing. At no point in history before the 21st century did the average person think that they had a right to have their speech carried to the entire human race. We have a basic right to generally not be prevented from speaking, yes. (A right which does not extend to defamation, fraud, violent threats and other grossly harmful things) But have we ever had a basic human right to oblige any information channel of our choosing to carry our speech? Regardless of the import of our words? No.

And -- if I am similarly deplatformed for harmful speech, that's a good thing. Bad personal consequences are a just outcome of bad personal behavior, made more just if the same applies to everyone, friends and foes alike. It's an intrinsic aspect of the social contract.

As always, I invite people to look at Usenet as an example of what happens when a platform carries everything. People stopped going there because after the advent of bots, it was completely overrun with V1AGR4 ads. Try getting your speech heard when there's 99.999% noise to signal. It's silencing of a different sort.
Now, what's your opinion on adaptive sync (Freesync / G-Sync)? Isn't it superior to V-Sync in all regards? I guess, in the near feature we will see even phones supporting this.

The best part of this notion is the inverse where miserable people are doing happy people things.
Ninjam is a bit different, in that its not a looper. The timing is offset to keep music sounding in sync to all clients, but what you play plays once and does not loop. In endlesss phrases will loop until they are changed or removed.
Let's be real. Youtube deleted this because it had a political message that goes against their's. It had nothing to do with one lyric even tangentially being misinformation about the Chinese Virus.
No, you're wrong. Vaccinations slow the spread, they don't stop them.
I mean, obviously it could matter.

The difference between lying and joking is always in context. If I dress as a police officer for Halloween it's fine, if I lead you to believe I actually am a police officer it is a crime. There's also a middle ground where someone could mistake my costume for impersonation.

I don't know what aspect of this video violated the terms of service, but I think political videos on all sides regularly make statements that aren't supported by 'mainstream' fact checking sources and therefore might fall outside the policies of services like Youtube.

If you want to argue that all speech with 'political intent' should be protected I am open to that conversation! But that is not the standard held by most services, including Youtube, which Bryson Gray agreed to when he uploaded his song.

For people like myself, that care mostly about UNIX/POSIX than Linux in particular, had Microsoft been serious about the NT POSIX subsystem, most likely Linux wouldn't have taken off as it did.

I still think macOS is the most user friendly UNIX, though.

As for WSL, I really don't care about it, I have been using VMWare with Linux distributions for about 10 years now.

It's certainly as voluntary as a HOA, which were originally called White Homeowners Associations.

Zoning is assigned by democratically elected administrations. HOAs are restrictive covenants that are required for the purchase of a house. Every single thing identified as NIMBYism could be enforced by covenants, and keeping blacks and Jews out was literally their original purpose.
I'm an urban cyclist. I get around town by bike whenever I can, though my family does still own cars for longer trips or moving large objects. I certainly don't try to slow everybody down. Getting into the main traffic lane has that effect, but it's a side effect, and I don't do it very often or for very long. In most cases, I could probably make a safe bet that dipping into the traffic lane isn't slowing down anybody's actual travel time by any appreciable amount.

But I greatly prefer to choose routes that avoid fast, congested car traffic. This also appears to be the approach of my city when developing new or improved roadways.

But truth be told, the major thing slowing cars down is other cars. Trying to increase traffic flow through a given area will eventually cause it to slow down to a crawl, bikes or no bikes.
Having fake brick anywhere or a column that doesn’t actually support anything is also terrible. If something looks like a stone or brick it better not be a thin fake thing on a piece of exterior sheeting.

But I agree on the principle because the most common window trim today: muntins (Glazing bars) is almost invariably “fake”
today, in that it doesn’t have the original function of breaking up the glass in smaller and cheaper pieces. Today it’s purely a trim. Seen that way, I guess there is nothing wrong with having shutters for the same reason.

I do agree with the author on one thing though: if one does put fixed shutters on a house then at least make them plausible. Just get shutters that are half the window size. Choosing shutters 1/3 the window width makes little sense.

Multimillionaires are not people who joined Google 20 years ago. That's a different league altogether.

Multimillionaires are just normal people you've never heard of who work 9-5 and drink beer on the weekends with their friends and have a normal house in South Bay.

They joined Snowflake, Square, Airbnb, Lyft, Netflix, or any other of the hundreds of SV companies like those in the last decade, even the last few years.

They are the average homebuyers for 1500-2000 sq foot ranch houses in Bay Area right now.

Did I misread the article? They just found that it was uncorrelated for individuals who became religious during the study (that is, temporally there is no effect) but positively correlated between people, and neither of those shows causality. For the temporal result, it at least negated it being causal.

> I have 0 problem whatsoever with large, public information clearing houses suppressing anything that is counter factual during the emergency.

That's precisely the problem though. The rule at Youtube is any content that goes against CDC/WHO guidelines is considered "misinformation". So to your point:

> If they were taking down information about a doctor challenging Health Authorities in a very Scientific manner, that would be something else.

Yeah unless that doctor comes to the exact same conclusion as the CDC, and parrots the exact same info, that doctor is spreading misinformation according to Youtube. I've even seen instances where the CDC would say something, Youtuber would cover it, the next week the CDC reverses that policy and Youtube will hit the Youtuber for "misinformation".
Same thing happened with healthcare.gov, yes?

If you ask questions 'bout the vax, then they gonna ban us (It's true)
Ayy, this is 'bout control, everybody knows
Everyone complies weigh the cons and pros
I don't need a plane, I just hit the road
I do what I want, I can't sell my soul

You gon' take the mark, I take narrow roads
I'm a man of God, I can never fold

Why are the higher income people wanting to live in the worse accommodations in the high rise?

If they can push people out of houses regardless, theyre still going to go for the houses.

The tech giants are unregulated. They can do what they want. They want this for some reason, so they do it.

> Are we not exporting at the same rate?

Yes. To quote JP Morgan's recent article "Dude, where's my stuff?"[0]:

> The surge in US import demand has led to a sharp rise in eastbound freight rates (see charts for Shanghai->LA and Shanghai->Rotterdam). However, westbound freight rates have not risen nearly as much, leading to an odd and problematic phenomenon: incentives for container owners to move them back to China empty to accelerate receipt of eastbound freight rates, instead of waiting for containers to be refilled to earn westbound freight rates as well. This further exacerbates supply chain issues, since US goods (i.e., grains) that were supposed to depart US railcars and warehouses for export remain in place, occupying space that US imported goods were destined for.

Does anyone know what the study author actually means by religiosity? I couldn't find the "supplementary material," just a three page paper that shows some tables. Without knowing what the term means in this context it's hard to interpret the finding. Are they lumping together Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, and every other faith tradition present in the USA in any quantity together? I'd be willing to bet that even within one of those religions you might find wildly different results.

For example Latin Mass attending Catholics who honestly try to live the Church's teachings fully may report a different happiness level than casual Catholics who show up to Church occasionally and don't really live the life that the Church teaches them to.

It's fair to differentiate between authentically lived religion and more hollow performative religion.
You can already see how Google/FB PR shills are trying to narrow down the fallout in the press (and on this site) by pretending this is only (or mostly) about kids' privacy, whereas the real story is rather severely anticompetitive behavior, collusion, and price fixing in ad exchanges, and privacy is merely a footnote in a War and Peace thick tome of alleged wrongdoing. The actual story is 100x bigger, but you wouldn't even know if you hadn't read that twitter thread. This is called "shaping".
> Especially import was the feedback loops showing how the system was essentially deadlocked, in the classical sense of the term.

This whole situation would make a great "systems design"-level tech interview question!
Lazy troll is lazy. I like that my Linux-based head-unit comes ready 3 seconds after starting the car, so the volume control works, and if I was listening to a simple input like the broadcast tuner at the last shutdown, it returns to that and I've got music right away. It takes a little longer for maps to render, and longer still for the Bluetooth module to load, but that's okay. Delaying simple functions until all the most complex stuff had loaded would be a terrible UX.

The post title implies religiosity != happiness, the parent implied other results might differ, my comment was a response to that possibility, for the sake of argument as you said.
I am pro-vaccination, but agree that vaccine mandates, anti-abortion laws, and other mandates that interfere with bodily autonomy are a violation of fundamental human rights.

On the other hand, most of the ensuing consequences are not a violation of rights, but rather a natural result of any choice that puts others at risk.

Those who are anti-vax for any preventable, deadly disease choose their individual freedom over their community's safety. Such is their right. In turn, it is the right of the community to protect itself against the risk these people introduce.

Anyone may drive their car without a seatbelt on your property, but if they wish to use public roads, they must sacrifice a little bit of individual freedom and wear one.

I can see some logic behind wanting roads to be Local and State responsibilities. It would increase the freedom of individual taxpayers. This might result in a net increase in freedom, despite all the inevitable tolls, unstandardized roadways, and stymied arguments between states over who must pay to restore that crumbling interstate bridge. The economic burden would lift off of the taxpayer's shoulders and fall back on the business or person who uses the roads the most, especially those businesses which have profited from being able to cross state lines efficiently –not something most local folks care to encourage through a federal subsidy anyways. Perhaps the framers of the constitution went too far when they suggested that Congress should be able to tax to, "provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States...to regulate commerce among the several states...to establish post offices and post roads." Most people don't need packages to go straight to their house anyways!

The same goes for public schools, better referred to as the only school a poor person can afford to attend. Communities should be allowed

But one thing is for sure. If public schools exist as the only option for most of their students, two things are true. First, they cannot stop attendees from being smokers or anti-vaxxers out in the world. Second, they absolutely must restrict these individuals from introducing deadly risks into the classroom.

This is best solved at the State and Local level, but in some cases.

These should never be penalties and restrictions against refusal, but instead protections for the community against the resultant risk. It is for the State and Local government to decide how much they accommodate risk-promoting individuals. For example, many schools are providing separate instruction for anti-vaxxers. Good for those emburdened taxpayers, deciding to help the selfish among them!
I suppose a compromise could be laws that restrict pollution, toxins, noise, and odors from residential areas but otherwise anything goes.
But what if China allows these mergers for their own companies, while the US doesn't allow them for SV companies?
