I read it as being personal at first but on second read interpreted the “antithetical” comment to reference the issue that they were breaking the license and limiting the users freedom.
Not everything on the internet is for-profit. The low-tech magazine website is a prime example of that.
A while ago there was a post on HN about pkgsrc[1][2][3], which works on Mac, among other platforms. I haven't tried it, but it may be worth a shot.

They still try to have a limited number of SKUs. Suica (Japan) and CMDA (China/US) features are not limited to specific SKUs anymore, and the dual-SIM SKUs are available in India and China, two very large markets.
If this comes to the US, will we need an adapter for CCS equipped cars or will Tesla add CCS cables to superchargers?
Ok I see what you mean. I haven't really frequented any DAW communities though. The hostility to people not already good sounds like a shame. I certainly don't know scales by heart like that either. So even highlighting helps.
> they seem more awesome when you weren't indoctrinated about the "correct" interpretations since you were a child

This isn't totally true in India. I've had relatives seriously contemplate ancient Indian civilizations with heavier-than-air flight, nuclear weapons and even orbital capabilities. (A similar thing happened in industrializing Britain and Prussia, so maybe it's just a natural thing in a culture undergoing rapid industrialization.)
Pretty sure this isn't true? They have the memory in-package, but the storage is separate AFAIK.

I believe they encrypt it with keys in the secure enclave in the SoC so it is tied to that chip, but not actually a part of it.
There were a lot of people saying Madoff was a fraud for years.

Agree. They could just add color palettes to their PNG files. The files could essentially stay the same. See: [1]

Their use of PNG files for photographs does not make sense anyway, though. If they used 1-component JPEG files (greyscale or possibly including a custom color profile to achieve the tinted effect), they could achieve similar file sizes with greatly enhanced image quality.

There is no indication that the website will infringe on this licence yet… it hasn’t launched yet!

I disagree, crypto incentivizes to add more miners such that equipment + electricity = revenue so there is no profit. Stock buybacks effectively transfer income into the share price so that when you sell your stock it will be for a higher price and thus you will make a profit.
I can't blame them either... but isn't high bandwidth usage a solvable problem?

Why can't they switch to P2P audio/video transmission instead of funneling everything through their servers?
Annihilation did that rather well, I think—the source material is about imperfect clones, that had the same structure as the original but weren't the same inside. And then they released a movie that had the structure of the book, but wasn't the same inside. I thought that was quite clever.

I like Quorn, I've eaten some nice tofu and really good saitan. I really like black bean burgers too. However every single actual fake meat I tried so far was sitting wrong in my stomach. Maybe one gets used to it, who knows.

The whole topic is also skewed. In Switzerland 2/3 of the land are basically non useable. This land is only used to feed cows, which makes up 95% of the diet of a organic local cow. There is no way we could grow anything useful on this land, especially not without destroying the nature.

It's nice to see that I probably have much more time than I think.
I disagree completely (my PhD is in maths). I don't know about the USA specifically, but this doesn't match my experience or that of anyone I know. Many maths PhDs don't go into academia, and those that do earn decent money (definitely more than our equivalent of middle school teachers). I don't know anyone who would describe the field as miserable, and I'm sorry to hear you have reached that conclusion (and confused, to be honest).

Seriously, if you're really interested in maths, look into a PhD in it. It's an exciting and fulfilling field. There are decent odds you won't end up in academia, so aim for an area with practical applications or that will teach you useful skills.
The ones to watch are Gajim and Dino. Both are likely candidates for the emerging Linux phone platforms. Though neither quite there yet, there is a lot of activity across the projects.

Dino: OMEMO for one-to-one and group chats. Calls (encrypted) are in nightly builds, and there is a branch to use libhandy for the UI to make it more mobile-friendly. Some more info here: http://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Dino

Gajim: The older and more mature project, it too supports OMEMO. The UI is currently being revised. Although it supports calls (and has for a long time), it doesn't yet support some of the more recent advances, including encryption for calls. This is on their roadmap. Again, postmarketOS has a dedicated page: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Gajim

Kaidan is worth a mention as it uses Qt and aims to be mobile-friendly. However it is much younger and still has a number of rough edges and unsupported features: https://www.kaidan.im/
Another factor is that the cost of higher-end/"luxury" goods outside the US is often much higher outside the US.

In the US, for instance, you can easily buy a Ralph Lauren polo for under $100 (on sale online, at an outlet, etc.). When I decided to buy some RL in Japan a few years ago, a polo that I could have probably found in the US for $75-$100 cost me around $175.

I felt that Dune didn't leave enough time to actually think about what was going on. Concepts from the book like the Missionaria Protectiva and Butlerian Jihad were given minimal lip service or not mentioned at all. But these are the best bits of Dune for me. These are what make it science-fiction rather than space opera. As a space opera Dune is good. As science-fiction it's great.

I haven't seen Foundation (and won't), but it sounds like a similar story.
Mastodon's original developer sent a cease and desist letter to Gab on October 21 for not publishing the version of their codebase that is currently in production.[1] Gab updated their repo in one hour, and later shared the entire code tree instead of just a password protected archive file.[2]

It's really not that difficult to comply with AGPLv3. Truth Social should simply release the code and keep the repo up to date.

> can this be fought in court as long as the website doesn’t even exist?

The website did exist. Users created accounts and demanded a copy of the source. They were refused, and so the license was infringed. Mastodon isn't threatening legal action. They're asking for that refusal to be reversed, thereby curing the infringement.
In case anyone doesn't know what laches is:

>In common law legal systems, laches (/ˈlætʃɪz/ "latches", /ˈleɪtʃɪz/}; Law French: remissness, dilatoriness, from Old French laschesse) is a lack of diligence and activity in making a legal claim, or moving forward with legal enforcement of a right, particularly in regard to equity. This means that it is an unreasonable delay that can be viewed as prejudicing the opposing party. When asserted in litigation, it is an equity defense, that is, a defense to a claim for an equitable remedy.

There are a lot of people really hating on the TV show here, so I’ll offer a slightly contrarian take:

I would say the biggest problem is the marketing that implies they faithfully are telling the books, when they’re not. The TV show is not faithful to the books.

That said: the books are fascinating, but they are almost more like historical documentaries then narrative fiction. It works well because they are _short_ stories, and following the span of history, frequently jumping ahead a generation, is cool. But it would’ve been very difficult to render that as-is for television and have much of an audience. Also, the original stories were written in the 1940s and some parts feel quite dated (everyone is smoking all the time, the hyper focus on nuclear power, the relative role of women). So whoever picked the stories up, they were going to make a lot of changes.

If you think of the series merely as “inspired by” them not “based on them,” then the show isn’t bad. It has some corny flaws like most TV (the combat, just terrible), but they’ve developed a few good characters, added some new mysteries, and the order in which they’re unfolding events over time is interesting.

So, is it a classic? No. Is it faithful to the books? Not at all. But IMO it’s decent sci-fi, and interesting enough to watch if you’re bored :)
I just don't think it is a real issue.

It is much easier to have it from renewable sources as your DC doesn't move and the CO2 to social benefit is so huge.

Imagine giving up all mass CO2 producers, alone transport of people and goods but still being connected to everyone and sharing knowledge and learning etc.

I would like to see addicting things like reddit having office hours but being able to shop at night for something I need (like a new pair of pants after the ol d one ripped) is saving tons of CO2.
doh! I hate it when i end up viewing threads out of context :/
Your honesty is refreshing.

I've seen countless people trying a new technology/tool, and overselling it as 'amazing' and super easy.

Seeing a post like yours helps to keep the discussion grounded in reality, with tools that looks nice on paper but have practical downsides as well.
After years of dealing with it I just run most of the software from docker containers and use homebrew for random cli tools.
I meant that my comment was a personal feeling about the license, and not about any particular users or violators of the license.

The post says "we would prefer if people so antithetical to our values did not use and benefit from our labour", and that is clearly not a criticism of just the nature of the license violation, but the people who are violating it.
I know a lot of smart, logical people who lose all sense of thought process when it comes to Trump. Not sure why people act like that. I would never vote for the guy but at least I can keep my head on when discussing him.
I suspect Mastodon is laying on the "big bad Trump" a little thick, here, but yes. I'm on the side of the GPL, not Trump or Mastodon, so all I want is Free Software licences to be respected.
> But truly, I got the best results from downloading and compiling every single flipping dependency myself.

My experience has been that very, very rarely is any installation as straightforward as "curl && ./configure && make PREFIX=whatever install", partially due to everyone in the known universe thinking they need some awesome new build system, partially due to unknown dependencies and their versions, partially due to it usually needing some patches because they only build on the author's machine, and all of that is just noise when I just want to have something running

The value of Homebrew to me are the constantly bumped formulae descriptors, definitely, 100% NOT the "brew" frontend for it. So, I've found a nice middle-ground by switching Homebrew into developer mode and neutering its bottle system and using "--build-from-source"

This isn't necessarily to lobby you, as much as "for your consideration" and to raise awareness for others that one need not throw the baby out with the bathwater just because the brew frontend is user-hostle

This platform is going to be under continuous attack from all angles. The company has to be ready to be boycotted, licenses revoked, regulation enacted, smear campaigns run, deplatformed by infrastructure providers, etc. Their lawyers are going to be the more combative type, when they signed up it was pretty clear the sort of wild-eyed hate that the Trump brand is going to attract from established actors in the social media sphere.

My hope is they're just going to take 20 days to think about it then release the source code. But we'll see.

I'm happy enough with with 0 (success), 1 (failure), 2 (invoked incorrectly, i.e. invalid flags or too few arguments). But maybe other people and particularly sysadmins care more.

What if I deployed my own node and just changed some css styling? Do I also need to somehow open source the changes?

If you have no right to a computer service, you have no right to the AGPL code it runs. For example, a company is allowed to make internal GPL-based tools and not have to release their code. If I hack into their service and download the binary, I’m not entitled to the source code.

If the closed beta was meant for a select few, but was found by someone else, that someone else doesn’t have a right to the code just because they managed to get access. Only the select few would be allowed.

The fact that it’s a public web server (with no access controls) does throw a wrench into things, but it’s not as simple as many here make it seem.

"Protein" is actually a large number of different amino acids, most of which our bodies can manufacture.

Our bodies can't manufacture nine of those amino acids, we have to ingest them, and also in the appropriate amounts.

Eggs have all 9 essential amino acids and also in almost exactly the proportions we need them in, making eggs a fantastic source of protein.

In general, legumes and grains individually are not complete proteins, but are when the two are combined.

Hence rice and lentil dahl, or baked beans on toast. The combination makes complete protein.

Most exchanges started as garage-based operations and most were built quickly or shodily. It wouldn’t be surprising if most of them have enormous piles of technical debt, especially as the number of alt coins exploded.

Making a robust exchange is hard and requires an amazon level of development. Huge movements in price correlate with massive increases in volume. The simplest explanation remains firmly in the realm of poor platform, in my mind, rather than nefarious and illegal manipulation.
